Beast Evolution

What kind of spell Is that?" Leia asked Gabriel.

"That guy is really talented, I don't think Ray can win this" Gabriel said.

"Did you guys think your friend would win against Jake the strongest wind user, he's going to end up in the medical center" a girl close to Gabriel told them.

"The strongest wind user..." Leia muttered.

"He's clearly underestimated me, I should show him a little of my strength" Ray mumbled.

Ray walked toward his sword, Jake didn't attack him because he wanted Ray to pick his sword.

Ray readied himself and rush toward Jake, he threw his sword straight at Jake and kept running.

Jake smiled as the sword was block by the wind barrier he set up, Jake was confident that Ray couldn't break his barrier.

The sword fell to the ground and Ray clenched his fist as he closed the distance between himself and Jake.

'Barehanded hmm, this guy is really funny' Jake thought.

[Power punch]

Ray hands glowed a little as he punched the invisible barrier that Jake made, a small cracking sound was made and Ray's hand passed through the barrier.

*Thwack!*

Ray punched Jake straight in the face and he fell to the ground, Ray didn't expect his [Power punch] to break through his shield.

The students around were shocked by what they just witnessed, how can a common punch break through Jake's barrier.

"What were you saying, strongest wind user right..." Leia said to the girl beside them.

"What was that?" the girl asked.

"Oh that, that was a little trick we learnt at the knight academy, it's called Ki" Leia said.

Gabriel and Leia thought Ray used Ki to break the barrier, Ray's [Power punch] was almost identical to Ki.

Ray moved back a little and waited for Jake to stand up, he looked around and all the students in the mage academy were looking at him, they surprised at his strength cause he was fighting barehanded.

Jake touched his face, he was shocked that Ray managed to break his barrier but he didn't expect to get hit in the face.

"Piece of shit" Jake muttered as he stood up.

His face was red with anger as he looked at Ray, Ray smirked and put his hands up as if warning him that he was going to be punched.

'I clearly underestimated you, I'm going to get serious and make you regret laying a hand on my face'

[Feather step]

Jake joined both of his hands together and Ray felt Mana surrounding Jake's body.

'Another shield, with the amount of stamina I have at my disposal, my [Power punch] will seem endless' Ray thought.

Ray rushed towards Jake, hoping to break whatever barrier he had set up.

[Power punch]

Ray closed in on Jake and threw another punch straight to Jake's face, unlike last time nothing stopped Ray's fist and it went straight to Jake's face.

*Swoosh*

Jake evaded Ray's fist just before he could get hit, Ray almost lost balance because of the force he used but he controlled himself.

Ray eyes widen in surprise.

'How did he get so fast, maybe that was what the spell he did just now was for, is there even a spell that increases one's speed'

Ray didn't back down and kept throwing punch after punch only for them to be evaded by Jake.

"Now your friend is in real trouble, Jake is now serious" the girl said.

"How did he get so fast?" Gabriel asked her.

"It's a spell"

"A spell... how can a spell increase his speed" Leia said.

"You guys are not mages so you wouldn't know, he's using a type of passive spell, or active spell I don't know, I can't differentiate their names" the girl said.

"You can't differentiate their names, but you do know their differences right?"

"Yes of course, I'm not a bookworm, I hate reading so can't remember things as stressful as that but I know their difference"

Leia looked at the girl's uniform and saw three stars meaning she was also in her third year.

"You already know the normal spell casting, casting a spell reduces a certain amount of Mana from a mages Mana pool, but there are some type of spell that constantly reduce Mana as long as it is active" the girl said.

"I don't understand" Leia said.

"I can't explain it" the girl said.

"So you mean as long as the spell he is using to boost his speed is active, his Mana would continue to reduce" Gabriel said.

"Yes, see he gets it... but there is one catch it consumes Mana the longer it goes on till the user stops it or his Mana runs out" the girl said to Leia.

"Then Ray can still win, we just have to wait for his Mana to run out" Leia said.

"That's is another problem, I have never witnessed Jake Mana run out, he has an incredible Mana reserve"

"So you mean he's going to be this fast for the entire battle?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes..."

Ray stopped to catch his breath, he had been throwing punchs endlessly but no one had managed to touch Jake.

"Are you done, or you still have some fight left in you" Jake said.

"Are you afraid of attacking, is your speed only good for evading or is there a catch to your sudden increase in speed" Ray said.

Jake chuckled, [Air Blast] a gust of wind was fired towards Ray.

This time he could clearly see the spell coming towards him and he quickly evaded it.

"Why isn't it invisible like last time?"

"That is a different spell, I'm still in the learning phase of my invisible spell so it's too much work" Jake replied him.

"Then non of your attacks are going to touch me, because I can see them coming" Ray said.

"Really, try seeing this"

[Air Blast]

Two gust of wind was fired towards Ray, but he could still dodge them, Ray quickly moved sideways to avoid them but as he looked forward another of Jake's wind attacks was coming towards him.
