God's Eyes

They were roughly 30 meters apart from each other and he could already detect flaws in his opponent's defense?

Jason felt dumbfounded, looking at his opponent.

He covered his arm with a quarter of his mana to enhance the movement speed and strengthen his throw when five small throwing knives left Jason´s hand within two seconds.

The first two knives were deflected by the average-looking youth in front of him, while the third hit the hand, holding the shortsword painting it in a neon color.

As for the last two knives, one hit Jason´s opponent's abdomen while the other one hit his chest.

Jason felt weird seeing that...

The whole battle was over before it even began and Jason was more than astonished because he thought his opponent would deflect all knives with ease.

But his opponent was apparently not capable to do that and Jason had to stop his charge abruptly as the AI announced his victory.

Jason didn´t know that since the beginning his opponent was hesitating to fight him, because of his cold and frightening eyes, causing him to lose the fight before it even started.

Now Jason had to wait for his classmates to finish their battles as he looked around, only to see that Class 74 seemed to be extremely weak compared to his own class.

It was extremely weird because only five minutes later, one could see an astonishing result.

Out of 200 battles, Class 75 won 163 battles, which had never happened before.

The remaining 37 fights were also not entirely won by Class 74 because the AI announced 11 battles as tied which meant that both students `died`

Class 74 had only 26 students left and they looked around as if someone pranked them but there was no hidden camera and their classmates were splattered with neon-colored paint, indicating their `injuries`.

Till was only smiling after he saw the result, while the average-looking teacher next to him was more than a little bit shocked.

His eyes were widened and it was as if he saw a massacre.

Turning Class 75´s teacher with astonishment, he asked to himself

`Why is their combat prowess so high? Almost all of them seemed to train similar martial art techniques but it can´t be a Tiered technique already, can it? Aren't we supposed to teach them these techniques in the second half of the year????`

The average looking teacher stared at Till as if he was a traitor and Till returned the gaze with a simple

"I didn't cheat!" as if he read one's mind.

Thinking for a moment, it was really not cheating. The classes were supposed to learn tiered martial art techniques after half a year, but one was allowed to do it earlier.

But that was not everything. Even if Class 75 learned a tiered martial art technique, his class should not lose so miserable.

They were more than overwhelmed….that was not a battle but a slaughter.

What neither Jason nor the average-looking teacher knew was the pressure he gave off on their first day while fighting Leo Heart caused all students to give their best during the last two weeks.

The students that were still slagging of changed their mind when Jason almost killed Instructor Brian, as they sensed Jason´s killing intent.

This caused them to feel like they were suffocating seemingly supposed to be the next one to die.

Combined with the assignment outside the city, all students of Class 75 came to the conclusion that they had to become stronger.

To achieve that they would also need resources like more time within mana gathering circle or elemental stones to improve their proficiency with an affinity if they had one.

Giving 150% during the last two weeks, everyone's achievements were great, and unbeknownst to Jason, they worked hard to ascend into higher classes.

Previously they were ridiculed and some of them even bullied because they´ve entered the worst class.

Not now they wouldn't back off and fight with their sheer will if needed as Jason did.

Other classes accepted their low rank and played according to the rules of the top few classes but why should they accept that?

Their will was firm and they wanted to receive not only better resources but also recognition from the surroundings.

Jason didn't fight in the second round as the first 26 ranks fought it and unsurprisingly they crushed everything as their opponent's will to win was completely shattered.

Everyone was more than a little bit astonished about the whole course of battles.

Class 75 was astonished about their strength or rather how weak their opponents were, while Class 74´s students or now demoted to Class 75 felt demotivated about being crushed so easily.

The whole progress didn't take longer than 25 minutes, including the replenishing of mana.

Their teacher took out an emblem with the number 75 out of the pocket and pressed it into the empty hands of the average-looking teacher whose eyes resembled a lost soul.

"Where is my emblem?" This threw the black-haired teacher completely from his chair as he shuttered slightly while taking an emblem with the number 74 out of the storage device.

While handing out the emblem, he was lamenting about his bad teaching `If I had only taught my students a tiered martial art technique and not so much about tactics...ARGHHH`

But even if the former 74th class had learned the same technique as them, Till wondered if they were as good as his students, who gave 150% after witnessing Jason´s strength and the brute strength and cruelty of beasts in the wilderness.

A single-stage was already too much for most students to overcome and his assignment with defeating beasts two stages above one's rank pushed them to their limits if not through!

The new 75th Class rushed out of the arena, as their teacher was way too embarrassed to face the ridicule from the opposite class.

Only five minutes later the whole floor was only occupied by the newly advanced 74th Class.

Suddenly the first few students began to cheer out loud and the other students joined them joyously.

Even Jason smiled while he remained silent.

Till was watching everything from the site and he didn't say anything about their cheering because they deserved it.

It wouldn't take long for them to get accustomed to their wins, as he believed in them and he almost forgot the reason why they were on Astrix, as he looked at his students.

Being reminded about his Task, Till didn´t know how to feel as Jason could feel a sudden but almost not sensible disturbance behind him.

The mana fluctuations were disturbed for a second and Jason turned around, only to see his teacher´s complex facial expression as he wondered what was going on.

After five minutes passed, everyone was silent, as Till snapped with his fingers.

Everyone had a trauma about their teachers snapping and it worked fine without mana enhancing the effect.

"Everyone did a great job, but we are still far from achieving our goal, RIGHT?"

He stopped for a second before everyone roared "YES"

"There is still at least an hour left until the other classes finish their battle and replenished their mana.

Let's not waste our time and pick out the flaws I saw during the fights! Aren't you guys embarrassed to still make so many mistakes with such a simple technique?? Not a single one reached the basic mastery except Jason and Seron.

Don't even dare to think that I couldn't see the mistakes everyone did….It's a wonder that you guys won this battle!"

Everyone thought they did a good job and after getting praised it was obvious for them that there was nothing bad to say but that was not the case.

That praise was only a facade!

`Are we really so bad?`

But before they could begin to lament, they were matched up against each other while Till individually picked out one student at a time to fix his flaws.

Jason wanted to improve his mastery over the Weaponry Knight technique, as such, he decided to take on Seron as his opponent.

Seron Gier was at the 2nd Adept rank while his soul was only slightly bigger than common Adept ranks with amplification of more than one rank.

This meant his soulbond was rather weak which caused Jason to have sympathy with him.

Seron´s accomplishment with the Weaponry Knight technique was almost as well as his own mastery while Seron couldn't see the mana flow and copy that.

In the end, Jason had to accept that Seron´s comprehension ability was stronger than his own, which wondered him because his mind was enhanced a few times after he refined his brain.

Jason wondered how that could be and another thing was weird about Seron.

Seron´s mana was transmuted and different from normal mana, but Jason couldn't detect what kind of affinity or ability it was that Seron received.

This made Jason curious and he questioned himself, what kind of background Seron had because his clothes, accessories, and weapons were extremely expensive as Jason´s mana eyes detected that Seron owned a Soul-weapon.

It was the first time for Jason to see a soul-thread from someone else but when Seron took out his weapon for the first time, he was extremely shocked as if he was hit by a bolt of lightning.

A thread connecting both Seron and the longsword could be seen with his mana eyes, even if it was relatively thin and Jason became curious.

Nobody else knew about this and his classmates probably thought Seron only owned an exquisite weapon but he knew the truth.

Well maybe his teacher knew about it because he almost knew everything, but Jason couldn´t be sure about that.

After Jason got to know that Seron had a soul-weapon, he concluded that his soulbond would probably not be a common one and also special.

When that thought came into his mind, he pondered for a long time before questioning himself, if it was possible for soulbonds to enhance one's brain, which could be answered with a definite YES.

Why shouldn't it be possible, if everything else could be amplified by soulbonds?
