The Other Students (1)

**(Colosseum - Feil)**
.
"Welcome, your highness. Are there any other weapons you would like to learn besides the sword?" Gluri smiled.
"Hmm... it wouldn't be good to learn from you, so no. I'll just stick with the sword for now." Feil examined the wooden sword in his hand.
Gluri's mouth twitched, 'I'll teach you a lesson, brat.' No one except those experts above him would have the right to expose him so relentlessly like that!
"Hmm... although I can't say that you're better than my tutor, you should be skilled enough since you're able to beat David." Feil thought, getting into a stance.
"Hmph! I'm the teacher! Of course I must be better than the students." Gluri frowned.
"Well... I want to see how strong you are in term of the sword then." Feil smirked.
*Whoosh~*
'Teleportation?' Gluri stepped back, trying to sense for any mana fluctuations in the area.
*Whoosh~*
Gluri quickly reacted, slashing to his left, blowing Feil away.
'Shit! I didn't control my strength.' Gluri quickly suppressed his strength to the peak of the second tier.
He looked towards the area where he had blown Feil away, only to see that he had already disappeared.
'He's much more skilled than I thought but...' Gluri placed his sword behind him, completely blocking Feil's strike.
'His reaction time is amazing...' Feil narrowed his eyes, stepping on the wooden sword to gain some distance.
"Although it seems like you haven't killed anyone yet, I can still sense your uncamouflaged mana signature." Gluri turned around, staring at Feil.
Feil didn't respond and instead started dashing towards Gluri.
"Hah!" Feil slashed.
*Boom~*

**(Colosseum - Hana)**
.
"Uuuu... I'm soo tired..." Hana cried out as she ran around the colosseum.
"You physical shape is much worse than any of the students here... only 30 laps... how the hell did you pass in the first place?" Gluri looked at her in doubt.
Hana even had some tears in her eyes, staring at Gluri as if he was an enemy, "It's because of my magic, not physical abilities, professor!" She yelled.
"Fair enough, one more lap then we can get started." Gluri grabbed a few training wands and staffs for practice.
Hearing his words, Hana quickly brightened up, "Ok! One more lap!" She sped up.
A few minutes later...
"Pro... fessor... I'm done with my laps." Hana panted.
"Good... now which one are you better at, the wand or the staff?" Gluri turned to look at her.
"I'm better with the staff, it channels my mana much better than the wand." Hana responded.
"Alright, show me why you were able to pass then." Gluri took a few steps away from Hana to allow her some space.
Seeing that Gluri was ready, Hana didn't hold back either.
Instead of attacking him, she wanted to show something else.
*Whoosh~*
Her clothes started to flutter in the wind, holding the staff with both hands, she started to lift it.
'A no-chanter! What is with all of these geniuses popping up like cabbages this year!?' Gluri himself was a no-chant caster, but usually those with that skill are 1 in 1,000 magic casters. (1)
*Boom~*
A pillar of light descended upon Gluri, engulfing him.
'This is quite comfortable... is this support magic?' Gluri felt himself growing stronger.
The pillar of light slowly vanished.
Gluri opened his eyes in shock. He not only felt his strength grow but could also feel a faint sense of being able to break through as well.
"No wonder you're able to be here." Gluri snapped out of his daze and commented.
Hana smiled sweetly, "Mn! My teacher said that I could trust you to find me a teacher for this, so I had to show you this." She nodded.
"I see, then it's her, huh?" Gluri sighed.
"Her?" Hana asked.
"I'll tell you about the teachers that are suitable for you. Are there any other spells that should be put into consideration?" Gluri asked.
Hana nodded, "There are a few I want you to look at!"
"Then begin whenever you're ready." He nodded.
.
**(Colosseum - Kyle)**
.
*Boom~*
There were several craters in the colosseum, there were even cracks on the wall.
"Never knew such techniques would make a human's fist so sturdy, you have my respect." Gluri dodged.
Kyle didn't speak, but he was extremely tired. His entire arm was numb from the attacks from Gluri and from constantly punching the area to pieces.
He returned to his boxer stance and jumped towards him.
Gluri frowned and threw the broken sword towards Kyle.
*Crack*
The wooden sword was broken into pieces, but it didn't stop his charge.
They quickly engage in a clash, Kyle was mainly going for the offense while Gluri was calmly blocking, parrying, and even countering his moves.
*Boom~*
Gluri threw a palm at Kyle's chest, pushing him back and making him kneel.
"Kuh!" Kyle squinted.
"Your attacks are quite strong... yet open." Gluri commented.
Kyle frowned, stood back up, and spat out some blood.
Staring at Gluri, he went back into his boxer's stance.
Gluri moved.
*Whoosh~*
He threw a palm towards Kyle, which was blocked with a palm of its own.
Kyle quickly spun around, throwing a roundhouse kick towards Gluri's face, which he dodged easily.
He swiftly kicked one of the legs, forcing Kyle to kneel down.
"Argh!" Kyle tried to throw a backhand, but then he felt a sharp pain all over his body.
"I'm also good at pinpointing nerves, effectively increasing pain in my attacks." Gluri explained.
He let go of Kyle and began fixing the broken colosseum area around him.
"You really are fierce, more than 40% of the colosseum basically collapsed." Glrui stared.
Kyle panted, giving in to the pain and fatigue that had erupted from him, forcing him to lay down on the sand.
"So... what teacher would you recommend for me?" Kyle turned his head.
"You'll see, you'll see. No need to be impatient." He smiled.

Chapter 85 End...
(1): For statistics, there is 1 mage/wizard for every 1,000 people, so it's quite a number when it's 1 in 1,000 mages/wizards that are able to use magic without chanting before reaching tier 4. So to make sure, people are able to use [No-Chant] when casting magic when they reacher tier 4 or higher, but at the cost of requiring larger amounts of mana to cast the same spell.
