Approach~2!

*SCRIBBLE* In a dead silent office sat a beautiful woman with brown hair. She was currently going through some paper works with an annoyed look on her face. It was clearly visible that she didnt like her work and only was stretching it out somehow.

"Oh, baby. Please be done with this place soon". She sighed as she leaned back on her comfortable chair.

At first, Sasha didnt think that the work she was going to undertake in school would be comparable to what she does in the guild. But she was wrong...

It was more tiring than she thought and made her feel like a work slave day after day. She didnt like to nag in front of Subaru but it seemed like she won't be able to hold much longer.

She forced herself up again before landing her hands on the table with a sigh.

Her hand which was going to turn another page suddenly paused in mid-air. Her eyes flashed in crimson color for a long moment before they returned to normal. This change happened because of the amount of mana she felt but soon shrugged it off as she didn't have anything to do with it.

However, soon her eyes went wide as she unconsciously broke the pen in her hand upon sensing another mana signature.

"Someone is so going to regret something really bad today". She shook her head with a smile as she stood up from her seat.

[Some moments ago]

As the words left Jimmy's mouth, his aura started engulfing him as well others inside the hall. His green eyes fluttered and went wide with his lips curving in a maniacal smile.

Jimmy didn't hold back while releasing his killing intent resulting in various students coughing blood and dropping on the ground due to the pressure. His team was holding the coercion somehow while maintaining their composure. Again, they realized why this man was their captain.

But...

The team in front of their eyes didn't even flinch and stood there as they were. It was obvious that none of Subaru's teammates would have held themselves under the sheer force if an invisible force field wouldn't have separated them from others.

" Interesting...but I was expecting more.." With a small dangerous smile, Subaru said before releasing his own intent.

*COUGH*

*ARGH*

Painful groans including the sound of thuds resounded as the two members of Jimmy's team as well all the other students collapsed on the ground in the same second Subaru's bloodlust touched them.

The members of Jimmy's team were now on their knees with mouths panting like a broken dog. They never thought that this day would come when only raw mana could force them to kneel so humiliatingly when their juniors were standing fit and find.

Only Kim and Nanasahi were still standing but their face was pale as a sheet.

"Hoh...so this is how your mana feels like. I am impressed however, battles are not won by only mana but strength". Jimmy got a clear picture of how mismatched their mana reserves were so he already started forming the best course of action against Subaru.

Subaru didn't bother to chat with him and waited for Jimmy to strike. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait for long.

Disappearing from his spot and leaving only some sparks behind, Jimmy appeared just behind Subaru. Since Subaru already gestured his teammate to step back, the radius was clear around him.

Cutting through air particles, a silver flashy augmented blade sliced toward Subaru's neck at a speed that normal humans couldn't even catch with their eyes.

However as soon the blade reached near-certain proximity, it got instantly held between two fingers without much effort.

Jimmy got surprised but nonetheless, he jumped and landed some meters away to the right of Subaru.

The exchange happened in so gallop, that only a couple of people were able to follow. However, the brief moment, when Subaru caught the incoming blade was seen by everyone.

" You have 10 minutes before I will start getting bored and eventually end this ". Even facing a lethal attack from so close, Subaru had an aloof expression. He deliberately shattered his [Limitless] before the fight started, for some reason.

"Quite cocky you are eh". Jimmy's one hand was engulfed in lightning with a blade-like weapon extended down his palm. The bolts were sparkling around his hand with his hair suddenly started floating.

Subaru knew his opponent's speed his going to increase, so he prepared himself in advance.

Within a blink, the cold blue stones were dyed red with three tomoes rounding around a single black dot.

As soon Jimmy was about to launch toward Subaru, he saw the sudden change in the target's eyes, and according to his research, he already had noted to not look directly into those eyes or he might also end up on that barren island like Karin.

Proactively he made another plan and instead of attacking head-on, he created a barrage of electric fields around Subaru.

[Lightning Prison]

Subaru saw this coming and with his psychokinesis, he pushed his teammates far from their place.

Rengoku knew Subaru would do something like that, so he jumped back on his feet in advance and landed just beside the others.

The electric field was a meter in radius with yellow flashes traveling at a rapid speed creating a cage-like perimeter. In those rapid-moving bolts, a living entity was also disguised. From the outside, it was a lot tough to see Jimmy drifting around the cage without having a certain level of experience, however from inside it was nearly impossible to catch his moves.

" He is done for. Even Yoshida sensei got caught in this technique. I can only hope that the cheeky bastard could come out alive". The swordsman of the top team spoke with admiration oozing with his words.

A nod followed his words from his comrades with a satisfactory smile forming on Karin's face. Kim held her hand, not to comfort her but because of his own anxiousness. He was able to see what none other were.

'This is not how he moves. What are you doing James?'

There was a reason why Jimmy started to make his moves unpredictable as well faster than ever before.

He never had thought that someone could follow his moves, especially when inside the cage.

And here, a pair of deadening red eyes were following his each move inch by inch, corner to corner. Jimmy first thought to attack him from his blind spot however, Subaru easily brushed that electro bolt off like he was swatting a fly.

'Fuck! What are those eyes?' Jimmy was cursing inwardly as he moved around.

He never got an opening and finally decided to land a direct blow on the back of Subaru.

However as soon he launched forward, an invisible force made him pause in mid-air resulting in the disappearance of the whole field.

"5 minutes to go". Subaru's chilly voice came when the force released Jimmy.

The whole hall went dumbfounded. The eyes of the team reaper were wide open. With mouth agape in complete disbelief.

" Di-did he just broke through?" The mountain tank shuddered as he saw the impossible to believe scene unfolding in front of him.

Rengoku had a more beaming smile on seeing the expected performance from Subaru. Ririka was a little anxious before but now she was only smiles. Yuno never worried about Subaru as she had complete trust in him and the results made her belief even stronger. Theo was able to catch every single moment with his creation connected to his iris. After he saw how Subaru was toying with Jimmy, he stood even more boldly at his place.

"That's my friend bitches!!!". He shouted with his hand raised in cheer.

Jimmy was shaking in anger. His whole body was trembling in rage with sparks of lightning erupting from uneven places around him. He was frustrated to the core and now he wanted nothing but Subaru's head crushed with his bare hands.

However, he could have moved, a huge wall erupted in front of him as well as Subaru to block their view.

They both turned toward the entrance and found around 50 people standing there. They were the faculty and instructor of the school who gathered upon receiving such a heavy amount of intent from a single spot.

Since the instructor have to wait for the principal command they didnt interfere before, however, now the principal himself was standing at the front of the crowd with his hand raised.

He was the one who chanted the spellbinding wall around the two young men to block their spells.

" Mr. Nishimiya and Mr. Anderson. If you move even a single inch from your spot then you both won't be getting away with normal punishment. So better choose than regret." A stoic voice resounded in the hall and Subaru noted that it was the same voice that he heard during the ceremony.

Sasha was also standing in the crowd and as soon she saw Subaru's eyes her cheeks started burning.

'My baby has same eyes as me. I am so happy!' She drifted into her own world...

(A/N: I am speechless -_-)

Jimmy had no intention of stopping neither Subaru had but the latter one didnt want to bother with the uninvited guests right now so he raised his hand before whispering...

"Arise".
