Once the fear of the shockwave was removed by the barrier, they looked back at Blake but he was no longer at the same spot. He was behind the 3rd line.
After he had successfully blocked the large bomb, Blake had used the last bit of mana in his body to propel himself past the 3rd line, but he landed on the ground unconscious due to mild mana exhaustion.
[I knew it was very soon.] The system said in an excited tone as it imagined the progress Blake would make after breaking through this bottleneck.
"Good job." Gibson said with a proud smile as he teleported Blake to the school clinic to heal his injuries, before appearing in front of the rest of the students.
"Congratulations to Blake for being the first on passing the exercise and also being the first to awaken mana vision." Professor Gibson announced. "2k points for being the first to complete the exercise, 5k points for being the first to awaken mana vision, 7k points for successfully completing the exercise."
The students were shocked by the announcement. If it was for the points they had gotten used to Blake raking in so many points, instead, they were shocked that he had awakened mana vision.
Everyone knew that Blake was going to be the first to awaken mana vision because of his achievements in exercises, but now that he had awakened it they were still shocked because most of them were still far from doing so themselves.
"No wonder he had created so many layers of mana barrier. It was because he was able to see it." One of the students said in realization, but that brought about another problem, and that was the difficulty of the exercise.
The attacks from Professor Gibson on each person were 'equal' to their strength, meaning it was practically the same difficulty Blake faced only that he's was more explosive.
This was very discouraging because if Luciano had failed the exercise and Blake had gotten so many injuries that he passed out. So who were they to even attempt it?
"I know what many of you are thinking by just looking at your faces." Professor Gibson said. "As you all have noticed, the exercise isn't like the ones you all have been facing so far. This is meant to push you beyond your limits. It involves a perfect combination of both prowess in arcane magic and physical capabilities."
"You might not pass the exercise on the first go, but you don't have to worry because we will be carrying out this exercise for as long as we need to. So it is better you give it your best and get it over with." After Professor Gibson was done talking he returned back to his previous point behind the 3rd line and began randomly selecting another set of 10 students.
…
After 4 hours of being unconscious, Blake finally woke up and found himself in the school clinic which was located not too far from the department of light element.
Having never been to the clinic before and not being used to waking up in foreign places, Blake rushed to get up to his feet, but a blinding migraine forced him to lay down back on the bed.
"You woke up way earlier than expected, but if I was you I wouldn't think of moving for the next hour." A voice said to Blake who was having difficulty seeing.
"You should have said that earlier." Blake groaned as he held his head tight, in hopes the pain would stop.
"Although I detected you were about to wake, I didn't see the need to because not everyone rushes out of their clinic bed immediately they wake up." The voice pouted.
It was then that Blake's migraine had reduced a bit and he realized that he had mistaken the voice for that of the system.
He looked in the direction the voice was coming from, and although his vision was quite blurry he could make out the shape of a busty woman in an overflowing white coat.
'Hold up. Why does that figure look familiar?' Blake said to himself as he focused his vision on the busty woman.
"Shit! Professor Karina, I had no idea it was you." Blake was startled when he saw the HOD (Head of Department) of the light department.
Karina had a diamond-shaped head and blond hair tied up in a ponytail. She had a warm ivory skin color that gave a certain glow to her smile and wore a round framed eyeglass that gave her an innocent kind of look.
With her astonishing beauty and her large curves, it was hard for one to think she was in her mid-twenties.
'She always looks like she is from an anime. Slim but extremely busty, nerdy and have a sweet voice. Too bad her coat is covering her backside, if not we would have confirmed the hypothesis.' Blake thought as he continued staring at Professor Karina.
[If I was you, I wouldn't be having such thoughts near a Lumomancer. Under certain conditions they have the ability to read your mind...] The system said to Blake.
'Holy shit! Are you saying she heard what I said? Why didn't you inform me earlier, how can a guy not see that and have such thoughts?' Blake was startled by the revelation and began cursing the system.
"Are you alright?" Professor Karina asked Blake when he acting strange.
'I can't even lie because it will make matters worse.' Blake didn't know how to react.
[But you don't have to worry because I passively block mind-reading abilities and artifacts.] The system ignored Blake's ranting and completed its statement.
"Yes, I am fine." Blake quickly pulled himself together. "I was just wondering, there are many healers in the clinic so why is the HOD being the one to attend to me?" Blake asked out of curiosity.
"First, because I am the head of the department doesn't mean I don't help out in the clinic. Second, you are let me say a VIP student in the school now, so it is my job to be the one to tend to your injuries.." Professor Karina explained.
