Art of The blind sage 2

' I guess simply closing the eyes won't work. ' Thinking that, I summoned the black handkerchief Freya returned to me and wore it like a blindfold. 

 Then I Used every braincells I could muster and Performed the first form of the blind sages weapon art.

 After 30 minutes in to the training, A cadet bumped on to me making me loose my focus.

" Hey, Watch where you going, bitch. " I heard an irritated voice coming from the cadet who bumped on to me.

 To look who it was I took off my blind fold. It was a boy with green hair and green eyes. And he had some of his friends behind him too.

 First to make sure, I watched around my surrounding to confirm my location. And Not surprisingly, I was on the back of the training field, In the same spot I started.

" I am pretty sure you are the one who bumped on to me. " I told him indifferently. And considering how he is acting towards me while knowing I am from the dragonheart family, I deducted that the news about my mana core rank potential have already reached the academy.

" Tsk. Are you assuming I am lying huh? Heir of the dragonhearts, Or more like failure of the Dragonhhearts. Ha Ha. " He laughed after mentioning those words and his friends joined him laughed together drawing the attention from the cadets around us.

 I think they felt inferior after watching the spar of Lucas' and Claudes' And wanted to grab some attention for themselves from bullying a weaker Noble from one of the prestigious family. 

' Sure. I'll act along. He He. ' I thought to my self while slightly laughing.

" Wipe that creepy smile off of your face bitch. Wanna go. " He asked, While mocking me.

" Sure, why not. " I told him confidently. 

" You think you can take on me. Someone with A rank potential with your pathetic C rank. " He asked me in a mocking tone.

" Well, Let's see. " I told him as I went to take a wooden pole from the weapon area.

" That bitch, I didn't knew he would be agitated this easily. He HE. This will help me to get some attention from my class. Specially girls. " The green haired boy said in a low tone while creepily laughing.

 We both went to the sparring area and drew out our weapons. It isn't prohibited to use skills in a spar. In the spar between Lucas and Claude they didn't used skills because they were purely assessing each others martial prowess. 

 Filius had a wooden long sword in his hand. As we drew out our wooden weapons and pointed towards each other, cadets around us started to murmur amongst themselves. 

" Hey, Who do you think will win this fight. "

" Isn't it obvious dude. Filius will win. "

" Yah I agree. I heard he is the third son of the Maximus family. And he awakened an A rank potential. "

" Although that Avion guy is from one of the ruling families, He won't be able to win against Filius with his C rank potential. "

 Ignoring the muttering of cadets around me, I focused on the battle at hand. Although previous Avion have never diligently trained with any weapons, He does have some useful supporting skills.

 - Dash - When the skill is activated the caster can multiply his agility status by two for 2 seconds with the help of wind element. 

 - Lock - When activated, The target will be locked on to his position for one second with the help of Earth element.

" Before we start Let's introduce our selves. My name is Avion. And You? " I introduced my self with a smirk present on my face.

 I should Finish this fast. Based on the aura he is giving off, He's definitely in early stage of E rank which is two sub ranks above mine . If the fight is dragged I will definitely loose.

"Ha Ha. My Name is Fili- " before he could finish introducing himself I activated the two skills I had simultaneous. Of course I already knew his name. Green hair and green eyes, If you read the book heroes of the doomed world, It wouldn't take a genius to understand who he is. His name is Filius Maximus. In the novel Avion convinced Filius to join hands with him to make Lucas' academy life difficult.

' Dash, Lock ' Activating the skills, I dashed towards him. He was only five meters away from me and it didn't even took me half a second to clear that distance. 

 As I moved closer, I enhanced my spear with mana and thrusted it towards Filius' Face aiming for his nose.

 Surprised by the sudden attack He tried to move to the side to avoid my spear but was horrified to see His legs locked on to the ground. Sense of doom invaded his instincts As I mercilessly hit his nose with a full force of my thrust. And due to the srprise attack he wasn't fast enough to reinforce or block the attack directed towards his face. That alone explains that he doesn't have any real life battle experience.

Kacha.

 The sound of a breaking nose reverberated across the field as some cadets gasped in shock. And Some cadets who grew up in a protected household closed their eyes unable to witness the blood splurting out of Filius' Broken nose.

 Professor Aurora and the training Instructor didn't interfered with the battle as they clearly saw who started it. They too were some what shocked to see Avions merciless attack, But they considered this as a good example for cadets who will be imployed on the battlefield in 4 years time.

 After that attack Avion thought Filius would blackout. But he was proven wrong as Filius slashed his sword towards Avion, Aiming to cut his Stomach. 

 Although wooden swords aren't capable of hurting, When enhanced with mana it becomes as strong as a old dull sword. And with enough speed it can cut through human flesh.

' This guy is tougher than I thought ' Avion thought as he blocked the incoming slash with the help of his wooden pole.

' But his attack doesn't carry enough power. I guess it is due to the concussion and the blood lose after being hit on the face. He is just acting on instincts of pure survival. ' Avion concluded as he caught the sword he blocked and throwing it away forcefully.

' But I can't let him get away easily. If left out, he will cause trouble for me in the future hoping to get revenge. So I should instill fear in him. He He, This will be fun. ' Avion thought as he did a tackle to the half conscious boy and punched him on his broken nose. But he was only able to get three punches as professor Aurora interfered with the battle to stop Avion from breaking the boy.

" That is enough cadet Avion. You have won the spar. If you wish to continue your Barrage of Punches, then you will be punished accordingly for disobeying the order of your Professor. " Professor Aurora said indifferently as she let out a small amonut of her chilling aura to subdue Avion.

" It was just a friendly spar professor Aurora. Why would I continue to hit my fellow classmate when I have already won. " I said matter of factly with the most charming smile I could put on while struggling to withstand Professor Auroras' Aura. But the blood drops on my face that I got while punching Filius failed to back up my charming smile, Making me almost look like a charming crazy psycho.

 Professor Aurora gave me a irritated side glance as she withdrew her aura. Then I brushed back my messy hair with the help of my hand and went towards the training field washroom to wash off the blood in my hands.

As I went there I heard some students murmur around me.

" Does he really have C rank potential as the rumors says. " One of the cadets asked the one near him.

" Of course he has. I was there you know "

" That fight gave me goosebumps. I don't ever want to fight that guy. "

" But he only won because he attacked Filius while he was in mid conversation. "

" You are right. Or else he would have lost. "

' Well they aren't wrong. If I didn't took him in surprise Filius would have definitely had a chance of winning against me. ' I thought to my self as I entered the washroom.

…

" What do you think of that fight Broderick. " Professor Aurora asked the muscular man next to her. He had Short Black hair and the eyes of a Panther with a scar visible in the corner of his lips. 

" If the first spar between the two top rank cadets could be called Thrilling, Then the second one is gruesome. That second kid from the Dragonheart family knew he was weaker, But he didn't back down and used trickery to win. He almost reminds me of Loki from Mythology. In a real life battle you can't hope your enemy to be fair. Because if defeated the outcome would be death. " Broderick said with a deep low tone.

" I agree. " Professor Aurora said while nodding.

" But it is too bad he doesn't have high potential. I am considering about taking that kid named Claude as my disciple. The kid has potential and we both wields spears. What about you. " Broderick asked while looking at the cold woman next to him from the corner of his eyes. 

" Lucas wields a long sword and his basics are perfect. But he lacks good understanding about his weapon. I am thinking of taking him as my disciple. " Professor Aurora said while looking towards the boy with Black hair and Blue eyes in the distance wielding a long sword.

" To think the famous Witch of Antarctica will be taking in a disciple. " Broderick said while snickering.

" Look whose saying, Beast of the Northern Border. " Aurora said as she added,

" You heard the news right. Our Three enemies are growing desperate. Storm is coming We need as much man power as we could find to face the imminent danger. "

…

 As I came out of the wash room, I saw medics carrying the unconscious body of Filius. Then professor Aurora announced the end of class as she had to attend to an urgent matter.

 Almost all the cadets left the training field. I too went to the school gym area and paid 5 PC to get a private training room for five hours. When Filius bumped on to me I was almost on the verge of understanding some thing about the Art of the Blind sage.

" I should get stronger as fast as I can. The first main incident of the first Arc of the book Heroes of the doomed world will be happening in two months time. I should get ready for that. "

 I muttered to my self as I blindfolded my eyes and began to perform the First form Of the Art of The Blind Sage.
