"Who? Jun," Ats was surprised to see Arjuna's presence, "Why did you come here?"
"Look around" replied Arjuna casually. He will just watch here. Well, even though he wasn't too interested in the Zarah Class.
"Oh," Ats sat next to his best friend. They watched Solar's match with one of the seniors whose abilities were not far from him.
"Hm, as you say, he is indeed talented," praised Master Eden, "It is a pity that, if he is not a candidate for successor, I will be happy to guide him to become a great cadet."
"..."
Ats looked at the man who was now busy chatting with Arjuna. Arselan has confirmed his identity. It was Eden Bey.
"Why can't I let go of his suspicions?" gerutu Ats in heart. He kept thinking about Iskandar's words that night. For now, he suspected that the man was one of the agents the empire sent.
"Hi, Ats!" arka exclaimed, "Let's go forward. Now it's our turn."
"Hais .. alright," Ats sighed. Actually, he objected to this match. In statistics, Arka's abilities are far above her. It's an unbalanced fight.
"You go first," Arka gave a leniency. The annoying smile on her lips turned cynical. He is the type who likes to manipulate the emotions of opponents to achieve victory. "I'd be serious if you could push me."
"Senior is so generous," Ats returned Arka's cynical smile with a nodding smile. With her inner ability educated since childhood, the provocation had no effect on her at all.
Both sides built horses. Soon after, the match began. Without wasting any time, Ats charged forward. His punch was aiming right at Arka's heart.
Arka also deflected it without any significant difficulty. As an expert zarahian practitioner, the defense is so strong that it is not difficult to penetrate.
"Hi, come on," said Arka so broke Ats's umpteenth attack, "You're also an expert practitioner, right? Show me your true abilities."
"..."
Ats did not reply to Arka's rant. As much as possible, he did not use his zarahian abilities. Even though his particle power and endurance had already increased since the acceleration, he still had to be on the lookout to avoid getting into the Academy Health Center. To be honest, the lecture from Doctor Razana was more annoying than this Arka provocation.
"Ck! It won't be exciting if you don't play seriously" Arka realized that her opponent was holding back. He doesn't like that. Well, although he himself also often underestimated the opponent.
"..."
Ats resisted a counterattack from Arka. It seemed, that senior had started to raise his fighting level. Ats must be more vigilant so that the attacks do not have a fatal effect on him.
The longer, the more powerful and sharp both blows became. The two exchanged punches and kicks. However, in the end Ats were cornered.
"You still don't want to get your skills out, huh?" snapped Arch. He's seen how Ats stabbed Master Khaled in the back. Of course he did not believe that the ability of this opponent was only this.
"..."
Ats was not consumed by arka's provocation. From the beginning, he never replied to his senior's rant at all. As a result, the effect of the provocation was even turned on Ark itself.
"Ck! Come on," Arka can't wait. He also coated his hands with particle energy. If his attack this time was able to touch Ats, the boy would definitely be fatally wounded despite successfully fending him off.
"..."
Noiseless, without taste, without aura. Ats' body melted in the air before Arka's attack on him. The particles of his body also moved as fast as light to the Ark's blind spot. A moment later, he charged back at his senior from behind.
Hearing the question, a nosy grin was on Ats' face. He said, "What am I doing using it?"
"Ck!" Arka again gathered the energy in her hand. He attacked Ats, but in a different way. His body melted instantaneously in the air, then appeared swiftly beside his opponent.
Anticipating that, Ats also melted his body in the air. Particles of particles collide with each other. A moment later, Ats' body appeared at a considerable distance away from Arka's reach. His breathing went up and down faster than before.
Not yet relieved he sighed, Arka again appeared nearby with a particle-powered attack. Ats was forced to avoid it again, but without melting the body. He shifted his body to the side, then coated his hands with particle power to deflect the Arka's attack.
Duars!
A loud bang occurs once the two forces collide. Ats was ejected a few meters back. As his body was still in the air, he melted into particles and eliminated existence completely. Arka so can not guess the place reappeared.
"I surrender," Ats appeared beside Master Khaled who was paying close attention from the very beginning. He also lost track of Ats at the last moment. He saw the Asir boy wiping the sweat that was rushing on his forehead.
"Huh? Who told you to give up, boy?" Master Khaled looked dissatisfied.
"Isn't it clear? Senior Arka will definitely win even if this match resumes, "Ats doesn't care. He did not like to see the ark that kept pushing him. I think there's something stuck there.
"Basically pessimistic," cried Arka who accelerated his pace with a short displacement technique.
"Please say it as realistic. You're a great guy, Senior," Ats commented on the knotty smile. He didn't want to fight with this maniac anymore. It could be, he actually entered the Academy Health Center and scolded his aunt if continued. Well, that's the real motive.
"Hais .. That is enough for you, too" Master Khaled broke up before a useless debate. He knew the character of Arka. Although Ats was a quiet child, there could still be disputes if the Ark persisted.
"You can still go on, right?" Master Eden approached Ats as soon as the next match began. Although he was a little disappointed that Ats did not fight seriously until the end, but he still recognized his ability as one of the youngest talented practitioners.
"Maybe I can still continue," Ats answered with a flat expression and not sure at all, "But with a high risk afterwards."
"What's that?" Master Eden frowned.
"Maybe injured, injured, or unconscious," Ats replied a little more seriously this time, "Well, worst of all, my particle neurons would be unstable."
"If that happens, the aunt will speak all day" Ats continued inwardly.
"Hm? It was indeed a practitioner's risk," Master Eden was astonished by Ats' cowardice. He should re-assess his recommendations.
"Indeed, but I am not the type of practitioner who is very ambitious to win the world championship" explained Ats who unconsciously expressed his view, "Not at all. I've been taught to put that technique back in essence. So, I won't torture myself to the point of going crazy. As long as it can survive, why fight to the death just for prestige."
"Ho" Master Eden was interested in that thought. "You don't have any ambition?"
"My ambition is not for the world of zarahian practitioners," Ats answered that while watching the match in the middle of the field. The sweat on his forehead was almost dry. His breathing is getting more regular.
"That's it, yes," Master Eden the mangosteen understood. He withdrew his assessment. This kid is interesting. "Hi, your name is Ats, right?"
"Yes," Ats turned.
"I have a good offer for you," Master Eden showed her optimistic smile, "You hear it?"
