"There is no fucking way you are getting away from me!" Felix shouted as he looked at Vincent's back with a murderous stare.
Although Felix was so badly beaten and bruised from head to toe that most of his bones had shattered and he looked like a panda with black patches and a white body, he foolishly continued to channel magic power into his fire ability cells and hurled fireballs toward Vincents.
Felix's balls of fire, as thick as a human's hand, explosively cascaded towards where Vincent could be seen running. At the moment, Vincent was like a ghost roaming one of the deadliest battlefields in the eyes of the participants and some of the spectators as he moved so fast that their eyes couldn't keep up with him. He was in a world of his own, displaying excellent and powerful footwork, exquisitely moving left and right to dodge spherical projectiles as the wind brushed against his pale cheeks.
Boom* Boom*
A moment later, balls of fire started to strike the ground extremely near to him and explode simultaneously causing craters to be formed on the marble floor. However, they never came into direct contact with him as he was able to outspeed the explosions.
"I can't believe it! He is my son's age but he is capable of out speeding the explosions!" A spectator muttered in awe as he gaped while watching Vincent move through the track.
"He isn't only outspending the explosions. He is utilizing the force of the explosion to gain momentum. He is a genius... No, he is an unmatched young devil!"
By the time the fireballs exploded, Vincent was already out of harm's range. However, the force generated by the explosions accelerated his speed, pushing him forward at an incredible speed.
In the eyes of the onlookers, Felix's deadly attacks were only helping Vincent gain more momentum and speed.
It seemed as if everything was moving according to Vincent's calculations.
It seemed as if this whole scenario was orchestrated by him.
He was utilizing the simplest concepts of Newton's laws to their utmost for his own benefit.
A simple concept! He was using the force generated by the explosion to increase his speed.
A concept that most humans that could move mountains and split oceans don't even glance at in their entire life.
The eyes of the instructor opened wide as they stared at Vincent with a baffled expression plastered on their face. How could he move with such grace and speed without taking a single wasteful step? How come he is intentionally using the force generated by the Fireball to increase his speed without a single hint of worry on his face?
"This is crazy! He is a complete lunatic!" Alex exclaimed as he looked at Vincent with an expression of bewilderment.
What Vincent was doing was extremely risky as a single miscalculation or a single misstep will either endanger his life or severely harm him.
"Not really. That just goes to prove that he is confident in his abilities. If you look closely, you will notice that Vincent's movements aren't wide as there are only minimalistic shifts to his position, just enough to dodge the incoming projectiles and utilize the force generated by the explosions for his own benefit." Theodore's lips stretched back to reveal a wide smile as he stared at Vincent with deep interest.
"This youngster is the most excellent one among this year's examinees!" Kayle praised with a bright smile.
Although Vincent was beating her stepbrother black and blue, she didn't feel bitter as she believes that Felix it's a result of his overbearing arrogance and that he deserves to be taught a lesson.
"I don't think so, but he can be considered as one of the best on Earth. Besides, there's also the world of Lorena! On that planet, talent is abundant. There is bound to be examinees far better than him. Moreover, he hasn't learned the transcendent-grade combat technique, Jelo. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to utilize such cheap tactics to gain high speed in a short time." Alex praised and criticized Vincent for his effort.
Hearing his words, the eyes of Theodore narrowed in thoughts. The military academy established in the 7th city located near the spatial tunnel that led to the world of Lorena; of the world's connecting space—a unique half-world where a person can arrive at by entering the rifts in the firmament of Earth—also accepted examinees from the world of Lorena.
In the world of Lorena, there existed a lot of royal, noble, and commoner families and their descendants were brimming with talent.
He had even received news that a few examinees there has awed the examiners by utilizing the transcendent-grade combat technique, Jelo.
It was not like he was complaining as he was certain that Vincent would have done better if someone taught him [Jelo].
Besides, it was clear-cut from the start that most of the promising newbies will come from the world of Lorena, rather than Earth.
Nevertheless, Vincent and a few others managed to prove that they were just as excellent as the others, and shouldn't be taken lightly.
Felix's wide eyes were filled with anger and overflowing with viciousness as he stood in his place with a vexed and bitter expression on his badly beaten face.
"I don't believe you'll be capable of out speeding my mightiest attack explosion! This will fucking kill you!" He exclaimed with a twisted expression on his face as he raised his hands above his head. His action indicated that he was about to use a terrifying fire ability with a devastating might.
Before he could channel a lot of magic power into his fire ability cells to create his ultimate technique, a ball made out of ice crashed on his redhead. Immediately after, a sweet voice sounded in the ears of Felix.
"Hey, shameless big bully! Stop bothering my big brother!"
Felix turned to look at the source of the voice, only to see Leila staring at him with a determined gaze to fight for the sake of his enemy, and at the very moment, he lost it.
His eyes reddened as anger clouded his rationality.
"You damned bitch! I will deal with you first!"
He hurled the destructive greater fireball towards her intending to end her for good without thinking and taking light of Vincent's murderous threat.
Felix smiled in anticipation. He believed that she will be scared shitless as his massive attack homed on to her. He wanted to see the look of devastation on her face. Contrary to his expectations, Leila didn't even flinch as her stare remained ice-cold. She lifted her hands exposing one of the most precious gifts of her life.
There also exist spell tags capable of releasing destructive explosions and could automatically attach themselves to the target and through magic would remain there, unable to be pulled off.
"Activate!" She exclaimed.
At that very moment, the magic scroll flashed red and disappeared from her hand as it shot forward like a shooting star.
A moment later, an intense amount of fire energy burst forth from the fireball magic scroll, twirling and compressing, condensing into the shape of a Red Tusk Elephant's most powerful elemental attack—a gigantic size fireball.
