CHAPTER 14: Grey Versus Rey [II]

“Get up… I didn’t even hit that hard” Reynolds said with indifference, glaring at Jason.

Boiling with rage and nothing more, Jason slowly got back to his feet, immediate rushing towards Reynolds for another attack. Seeing this, Rey prepped his own attack, as they both headed for each other.

Before they could clash forces, Blake suddenly appeared in their midst, prompting them to cease their attacks.

“What in the world is wrong with you two?” Blake angrily exclaimed.

“This is clearly against the rules….. If you want to fight badly, both of you will take the Combat exercise together” Blake promptly added.

“Fine by me!” Reynolds stoically replied.

“I swear I’m going to beat the hell out of you!” Jason erupted in anger.

“If I don’t kill you first” Reynolds stoically commented.

“The Next Match is….. Jason Grey versus Reynolds Heming!” Blake exclaimed, leaving the arena.

“Grey Versus Rey!” The Spectating Students murmured.

“Are you two ready?” Blake curiously stared at the vengeful youths, standing in front of him.

“Yes!” They Simultaneously responded, viciously glaring at each other.

“You may begin!” Blake exclaimed, immediately walking away from the arena.

“I’m gonna rip you to shreds, you cocky piece of shi…” Jason said, noticing that Reynolds was already in front of him, preparing to deliver an electrically energized punch.

“You talk too much!” Reynolds whispered, delivering his attack at Jason’s abdomen, sending him flying into a nearby wall, obviously smashing the wall.

“Whoa, he’s ridiculously fast!” Yetunde thought to herself, solemnly staring at Reynolds.

Feeling the impact of Reynolds punch, Jason immediately collapsed, landing face first on the shattered marble floor.

“What the hell are you doing down there?” Reynolds stoically inquired

“Get up….. You cocky piece of shit” Reynolds promptly added, infuriating Jason in the process

Slowly, he made his way back to his feet, viciously glaring at Reynolds who was presently looking menacing. Lightning streaks danced round his body, as he suddenly disappeared, shocking Reynolds and the spectating students. He reappeared behind Rey, wearing a sinister smirk.

“Did you really think that I couldn’t use God Speed!” Jason wickedly inquired, delivering an impromptu energized punch to Reynolds back, sending him flying towards the wall, Jason earlier crashed into.

Suddenly, Jason appeared in front of Reynolds, giving him another energized punch, sending him flying in the opposite direction. Immediately, Reynolds halted his involuntarily flight, falling straight to his knees.

“Impressive but let me show you what real God Speed is!” Reynolds said, coughing up a decent amount of blood.

“I’m smash that Cocky mouth of yours!” Jason viciously yelled, making his way towards Rey.

Instantaneously, Rey vanished from his previous spot, appearing few metres behind Jason, throwing everyone including Blake into a state of confusion. Jason slowly turned around to get a clear visual om his opponent when he suddenly noticed that he had a nose bleed.

“What on the world?” Jason thought to himself while he tried to clean his bloody nose.

“That nose bleed shows that your body can’t handle the strain of using God Speed” Reynolds said, pointing his right hand at Jason.

“You are too weak!” He added, gathering a large amount of electricity at his fingertips, slowly an immense lightning bolt.

Without any single form of hesitation, he hauled the lightning bolt at Jason, who’s body was frozen up for some reason. Instinctively, Jason dodged the incoming attack momentarily sending it into a nearby wall, destroying it the process. The structural stability of the Training facility began to fail due to the large amount of damage it incurred.

“Who the hell is this guy?” Jason frightfully thought to himself, solemnly staring at Rey.

“Why is he this strong?” Jason thought to himself, as he suddenly noticed that Reynolds has vanished from his previous location, appearing right in front of Jason, rapidly giving him an energized punch to his face sending him gliding in the opposite direction.

Not relenting, Reynolds appeared behind Jason, delivering another wicked energized punch to his face, sending soaring in another direction. Reynolds repeated this action, creating some kind of back and forth effect.

“Self Taught Technique: God Speed; Ping Pong Effect!” He slowly whispered as he continued pounding him, back and forth.

Rather than slowing down, Reynolds increased the speed and tempo to his attacks, brutally smashing Jason up. He then ended this wicked sequence with a rising kick to his Jason’s face, sending him into mid air for a couple of seconds, heavily crashing back to the ground, seconds later.

“Incredible…. Nelson won’t believe that his own son has mastered and even modified a High-Tier Lightning spell” Blake thought to himself, staring at the badass youth, standing high in the arena.

Meanwhile, the students who were spectating the fight, all gasped in awe, staring earnestly at Reynolds.

“Those spells they used must be a Mid-Tier Arcane spells or higher” Yetunde whispered.

“Then how is a first year student pulling that off!” She added.

“This isn’t a battle between students…. This is a battle between Veteran Mages” She promptly added, solemnly staring at the torn up battle arena.

“Jason, do you Concede?” Blake curiously inquired, staring at Jason’s seemingly lifeless body.

“Why isn’t he moving?”

“Don’t tell me that he’s dead!”

“Reynolds look so cool!

“He killed Jason!”

“What the hell was that move he just did?” The Spectating students murmured amongst themselves.

“Jason…. Do you Concede?” Blake curiously inquired.

“No….. F*cking…… way!” Jason furiously exclaimed, slowly crawling back to his feet.

“He’s not dead!”

“Does he really think he can win Reynolds?”

“Do you think Reynolds been holding back ?”

“Yeah!”

“He hasn’t used his second Affinity!”

“It’s hopeless, Jason can’t beat him”

“Just Concede!” The Spectating students simultaneous exclaimed.

Hearing the words of his fellow Classmates, Jason angrily gritted his teeth’s, clenching his fist in annoyance with his veins bulging.

“There’s no f*cking way I’m gonna lose to you!” Jason exclaimed as Lightning streaks, once again danced round his body.

He began to channel the immense Lightning essence into a single point, creating an plasma ball which lightning danced round.

“Die!” Jason furiously exclaimed, blasting the ball at Reynolds.

Instantly dodging it, Rey was greeted with another Ball of Electricity. Not wanting to take a direct hit, Rey utilizing God Speed, dodged the attack. Annoyed by the fact Rey dodged two consecutive attacks, Jason released a barrage of Electrical Balls. Just like the last two attacks, Rey easily dodged the attacks by using God Speed.

As Rey dodged the attack, he slowly began to circle Jason. The Infuriated youth didn’t notice this weird movement, rather he was so focused on hitting Reynolds with his attack. After a couple of minutes, Jason halted his miscellaneous attacks, indirectly halting Reynolds movements.

“Are you done?” Reynolds asked with indifference.

“No…. I’m just getting started!” Jason exclaimed, wearing a wicked grin while raising both his hands in the air.

He slowly concentrated a massive amount of Lightning essence in between his hands, forming a giant Ball of Electricity. Lightning from the giant ball, crackled, destroying the room. This frightening display of power shocked both Blake and the students.

“This Kid is crazy…. He wants to destroy every f*cking thing!” Blake exclaimed, obviously in shock.

“I’ve got to get those two isolated!” Blake worriedly said, staring earnestly at the Spectating students.

“Nelson’s so gonna kill!” He promptly added.

Immediately, Blake made multiple runic inscriptions in the air further creating a massive dome shaped barrier around the vengeful youths.

“That should hold the onslaught!” Blake sighed with relief.

“What the hell is that?”

“That’s a….. Lightning Bomb!”

“Did you say bomb!”

“He’s gonna kill us all!” The Students frightfully said, instinctively taking a slight step backwards.

“Why go this far?” Yetunde thought to herself, staring at the deranged youth, who was busy enlarging the size of his Lightning bomb.

“Reynolds…. Please be okay!” She promptly added.

‘Is that all you’ve got!” Reynolds inquired as lightning streaks danced round his hands.

“Go to hell, you bastard!” Jason exclaimed, hauling his giant ball of lightning at Reynolds who simply seemed unfazed.

Immediately the Bomb came in contact with Rey, in exploded releasing a huge amount of energy and electricity but thanks to Blake’s barrier, the students and most part of the building was unaffected by the attack.

“What the happened?”

“Did Reynolds make it?”

“I don’t know!

“Let watch!” The Students said, staring earnestly at the barrier.

Jason who was inside the barrier, earnestly stated into the debris and smoke, trying to ascertain the result of his attack.

“I guess you were just all talk and no brain!” Jason excitedly exclaimed.

“What the hell did you just say?” Reynolds suddenly yelled, shocking both Jason, Blake and the other students.

Slowly the debris and smoke from the attack, cleared up, revealing Reynolds who was apparently alright and unaffected by the attack. Around his hands were a pair of immaterial gauntlets, made from lightning.

“Shit, that attack was extremely powerful!” Reynolds thought to himself, staring at a shocked Jason.

“Those are….” Jason frightfully stuttered.

“Lightning Gauntlet” Reynolds rudely interrupted.

“How…. That’s an extremely difficult High-Tier spell” Jason worriedly commented, instinctively taking a step backwards.

“It doesn’t matter now…. Because it’s my turn to attack….. Lightning Rain!” Reynolds stoically responded.

“Lightning….. Rain!” Jason stuttered, fully aware of what’s coming next.

Suddenly, a two huge magic circle appeared underneath and above Jason, gravely shocking him.

“No… You can’t do this!” Jason frightfully exclaimed, as Rey’s spell automatically activated.

Lightning poured from both Circles, underneath and above, simultaneously striking Jason, slowly roasting and paralyzing him. Screaming earnestly for help, the rain of lighting continued, wickedly striking the already battered Jason.

 After a couple of minutes, Rey deactivated the spell, rushing straight towards Jason. He still had the Lightning Gauntlet at hand, which he intending to use in delivering a wicked punch. As he got within range, Blake suddenly appeared, blocking Reynolds attack with his bare hand.

“Reynolds, that’s enough…. Jason, do you concede?” Blake angrily said.

“Yes… I do!”
