The crowds instantly exploded into discussions. They couldn't understand what was happening.
Were they not supposed to hear the crunching sounds of bones as expected?
But why was there the sound of something popping and frying and, what was with the slightly aromatic smoke of iron and meat emerging from their hands.
Janeane's expression had since turned ugly. 'This fellow is really useless. Here he was bragging about how talented he is, reaching the second state of his technique. But what happened now, he was about to get his ass handed to him.'
His value immediately dropped more than half in Janeane's mind
At a particular position on the field, Phyllida was sitting on the field with some of her clansmate who had been assigned to this lecture with her.
She was slightly surprised by what she saw but she thought it was to be expected.
Sje had figured that there had to be something special about him since she had been assigned to secretly keep an eye on him and even before she had been told to, she had been interested in him even before that.
She gazed at him with a deep look while she contemplated.
Nihyuh also glanced at David, as he thought. 'If he couldn't even resolve this little problem by himself 55, then he isn't qualified to be a threat to me.' but his normally gentle and easy to bully expression was no where to be found, instead it was replaced by an indifferent look. A bit contrast to what one would expect.
The crowds contemplated as they stared at David's smiling face and the twisted expression Wale was slowing surfacing. A guess gradually took form In their mind.
Some people still couldn't comprehend what was happening.
It was then.
"Oh! I see something interesting going on here." A loud, dull but sweet voice rang out from the crowds.
The crowds hurridly parted ways as a curvy figure of a five foot seven inches tall lady emerged. It was instructor Aella.
It was unknown when she had arrived, but she had somehow arrived at the midst of the squabbles.
The students quickly arranged themselves in a straight line, not dearing to delay.
David reluctantly released his opponent's hands. He sighed to himself.
It was such a pity. This was a rare chance to test out the strength of his fellow students and also a chance to hint at them that he was a tough nut to crack.
He wasn't as easy to bully a he looked just because his expression looked lazy.
Wale hurridly retracted his hands, the burning sensation was already becoming unbearable for him and if the situation continued for a little while longer, his Metallic Palm would be thoroughly broken which might lead to his hands becoming crippled.
His face twitched in fear as he retreated from David with terror, he didn't want to stay a single second with this deceptive person. He looked quite lazy and easy to bully, but who knew he was actually acting a wolf clothed in sheep's wool.
Looking down at his hands, it was already disfigured. Some parts are red in colour while some parts are black and some parts looked as though they had been burnt.
The lines segmenting the palms, which is usually deeply imprinted in everyone's palm had already been burnt clean. His palm was as bald as his head. Absolutely no difference.
Seeing as the students had gotten into position, instructor Aella smiled cheerfully. Her smile was just as radiant as the sun itself. This came as a surprise to the students and also David.
Ever since the students could remember, the instructor had never once smiled at them since she was always so indifferent in any situation.
It appears that something bad might happen.very soon.
And as if confirming their thoughts, instructor Aella spoke up.
"I was about to take you guys on some combat lessons you know, getting to familiarize you on how to deal with different situation using myriads of tactics. But," she paused as her smile widened. Gazing at both David and Wale.
"I think most of you find that boring isn't it?" she questioned and without waiting for them to answer. She continued.
"So, since most of you find it very boring, while don't we take things to a more practical level." she clapped her hands.
"Now, let's spar!" Saying this, she brought forth her holographic image to the air, as she typed in some information into her system.
"No need to waste my time, your opponents has been randomly chosen by my AI and would be sent to you in 3, 2, 1, now!" as soon as she finished her words, every students in the field got a notification.
David also got one. Opening up his system, he saw a new message stating.
Sparring Match; Your instructor has initiated a sparring match.
Reward for winning - 20 points.
Rewards for losing - -5 points
Opponent - Daisy Vega.
Tally - No 16.
Time - 5 minutes.
The information was as simple as that. There was nothing else about his opponent he could take advantage of. And according to his understanding, it seemed that they would be the 16th group to fight.
David frowned at the lack of information but was also somewhat relieved. If he couldn't view the full information on someone then that means that others would be unable to gain access to his either. It was both comforting.and frustrating.
There wasn't even a picture of the girl he was to spar with. The only way he would know was when the time comes for them.to step forwards, she would undoubtedly do so.
Retracting his thoughts. "What number were you given." Nihyuh whispered to him.
"16, you?" he answered in a low voice.
"It a little early than mine. Mine is 22." Nihyuh answered in a low tone filled with a silly smugness.
But David just glanced at him, after which he didn't say anymore. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
Instructor Aella instantly took off to a particular position on the field. Suddenly, the instructor supressed a groan slightly as a bone blade gradually grew from her forearm just like X -men.
David watched in mild surprise and the other students as the bone took form, growing into a 1 meter bone blade.
David had thought it was an illusion when he had first seen the bone Blade during their initiation process, but now it seems as though it was real.
Then the instructor used the bone blade in drawing a 10 meters radius circle in the middle of the field. Indicating it was their sparring field.
As the students were still stunned and awed by her display of power, instructor Aella grew a bit smug and angry.
"No need to mindlessly waste my time people! Tammy, Emma, you are up. Hurry up.." she hastily called them.
