After viewing his status panel, I look forward to what he is going to do. Other students don’t know my current status. But it’s impossible to hide away from teachers. Once they perceive strongly then they will know I have started practising mental methods.
At this time, “He…He….He…, it’s good. With the teacher’s permission I can fight against him. ” Palmer thought to himself. He knows he can’t use his magic against Vincent. But his body strength is enough to smash him. He wants to take advantage of Vincent’s early days and control him. A vicious glint flashes in his eyes as he imagines a possible future.
When Mr. Fletcher came toward them, Palmer opened his mouth and said, “Teacher Fletcher, I want to compare my skills with Vincent. Don’t worry, I won’t use my magic during sparring.” Palmer points at Vincent after saying that. He observes Vincent’s reaction. He wanted to see his startled reaction. The true frustration and helplessness on his face but unfortunately Vincent remains Calm and composed. There is no reaction whatsoever.
Seeing Vincent ‘ expressionless face his mile disappeared he felt strange. “Mm, Why doesn’t he react?” Palmer said to himself.
Mr. Fletcher looked at Palmer in surprised gaze and answered, “Are you sure? You want to fight against each other without using magic” After saying that he looks at Vincent for an answer. He just confirmed now that Vincent started practising magic. Then why did Palmer suggest a normal fight?
“This guy..” I mumbled.
Sure, if I don’t teach him any lesson. He will continue to mess around. For a moment, an unknown rage took over me. But soon I calmed down my emotion as I heard Mr. Fletcher’s question. Lucas also tapped on my shoulder.
Observing his gaze, I nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. Fletcher. I would like to have a little sparring session with him.” When I finished my words, sudden laughter erupts around me.
“Hey, How can he fight against Palmer within a few days of awakening?” Students begin to murmur while enjoying that show.
Even the students on the magic practising circle look at the situation gloating, “Hey, this newbie is brain dead or what. Everyone knows that a newly awakened person’s strength is lower than level 1 Mage.”
“What a fool?” someone said.
Unlike Mr. Fletcher, everyone is in the dark. They thought Vincent was speaking by himself. There is no way he can take even one punch from Palmer. For a moment, their envy and hatred the whole entire emotion is shown through their words. Vincent’s talent is higher than theirs. They can’t do anything about it. But the current situation favors them. At least they enjoy watching current drama from others suffering.
Feeling the momentum, Palmer smiled even more he burst out in laughter along with them, “Ha..ha..ha..” But Timothy is the only person on their side not showing any reaction. He remembers Bruce’s punch against Vincent. Vincent didn’t suffer any injury because of it. He was fine.
He thought the most troubling thing is Palmer is nowhere near Bruce. So he couldn’t think of any possibility of Palmer causing any injury to Vincent. So right now he only has a gloomy smile on his face. He hopes he won’t suffer from Vincent and Lucas the duo’s hands later.
Vincent on the other hand…
Hearing the crowd’s laughter, I made up my mind to break a few bones of Palmer. Lucas on the other hand gritted his teeth in frustration. I tapped his shoulder to calm down. This fatty gives an intense reaction, I don’t know what he will do in a real fight.
At this time, “Quite” Mr. Fletcher’s voice echoed the entire room. Soon all the murmurs were quite down. Everyone knows Combat teacher’s temper. It’s best not to get on his bad side. Otherwise he will punish students with a few more training sessions. Even Palmer gulped his saliva hearing the loud tone.
“I don’t know what is there to laugh about?” He said. The students were afraid to voice out anything. They chose to remain silent. But Mr. Fletcher understood something. He knew Vincent was transferred here a while ago. So he was surprised to see his mana for the first time. But he feels students are yet to know about it, that’s why they are laughing.
Shaking his head, he doesn’t plan to expose this right now. It’s best to see for themselves. He also likes to know how far Vincent’s physique is strengthened after his practice.
Following that, he instructed everyone to prepare for the combat session. Including Vincent and Palmer.
Lucas Brad pointed his finger at Timothy and said, “Hey, I’m going to fight you.”
“No” Timothy denied strongly. He knows about fatty’s endurance. He too didn’t suffer any injury from Bruce attacks that day. He decisively backed away and distanced himself from Lucas Brad.
“Coward” Lucas uttered, seeing him backing away. Then he shifts his attention to the Vincent and Palmer sparring session.
Palmer moves towards the circle platform to fight.
Seeing Palmer moving towards the platform, I too moved. After arriving at the platform we stood in front of each other. Usually, Mage don’t fight in close combat apart from a few exceptional mages.
But it soon became an important course to know about close combat. At least we have to learn how to defend and protect our vital points. For that a few set of combat techniques were introduced globally These were mostly created by Power Mages. To utilize our body strength in full capacity during combat.
It will be easy for physique attribute mages and elemental mages. They can use their element in combat techniques.
When we stood in front of each other, Mr. Fletcher came forward and signaled us to fight.
“Whiz”
Palmer moved, He clenched his fist and wanted to give a direct punch to Vincent. With one step forward he arrived in front of Vincent. With a cruel smile on his face he moved his fist forward at full speed.
Seeing his fist, I smirked. This is the best time to test my strength stats. I evaded his fist in time at the same time I moved my leg to kick his abdomen.
“pfff”
Palmer spurts blood as he roll backwards and lands outside of the platform.
“What?” again blood spilled from his mouth due to shock.
The crowd stilled in disbelief. Even Mr. Fletcher ‘s eyes flashes with surprise. 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢
Mr. Fletcher observed Vincent. Vincent’s reaction was fast and his response was also on point. A hint of appreciation flashes before his eyes. He knows this is the work of his middle level talent.
Which helps him in strengthening his physique and there is no suspense here after. Vincent completely overwhelmed Palmer. There is no point in continuing the match.
The two factions of students were shocked in disbelief. Their eyes were completely wide open. Soon the shock turned into fear. Feeling their earlier words were completely wasted, they were completely embarrassed now.
The other hand, Timothy is scared. His worst fear becomes reality. He hadn’t expected such a result. He expected both of them to be in the fight equally. But he didn’t expect Palmer to be thrashed.
“As expected, don’t underestimate middle level talent.” Timothy thought to himself. Then his mind thinks about the poisonous women and her friends. He likes to know what would happen, if they again begin to clash with each other.
Then he suddenly thought about Palmer and went towards him to assist him.
“Damn, how is it possible?” Palmer sounded dejected. As he tries to stand up with the help of Timothy. Timothy’s face changed after hearing his words.
“Timothy, Do you know anything? His strength increased just after one day.” Palmer said as he looked straight into his eyes and added, ” Did you lie to me or what?”
Palmer felt it’s impossible to increase your strength overnight. He feels Timothy misjudged his strength. Feeling that he gritted his teeth in anger.
The other hand, Timothy cursed himself after hearing his scolding. Feeling his gaze he immediately answered, “Leader, I too don’t have any clue about this. Yesterday, he got smacked by Bruce. But now his strength seems to have increased.”
“Harumph” Palmer snorted. He feels humiliated. Now, how is he going to face his classmates, his face completely turned green. “We need to do something about it” He mumbled under his breath.
He didn’t want to see Vincent’s gloating face. So with the help of Timothy the duo walked away from this place.

“What? ” I was taken back. When I landed my kick on his abdomen. This notification panel suddenly pops up in front of my eyes. What is this? Is it a hidden feature or what? For a moment, I’m startled. Then I focused my attention on the notification.
My eyes beams with surprise. Earlier I was wondering how to increase my talent level. But now I got an unexpected surprise. Soon, my expression turned serious. “So, Palmer has that exotic flower.” I mumbled.
My mind flashes with various plans to get that flower. Nothing can stop me from increasing my talent. Even if I have to kill him, then I’m ready to do it. A firm determination rose in my heart. Each increase in level of my talent, my strength would be increased accordingly. I don’t want to miss this chance.
