This...
This is a natural-born member of the Kido Corps!
Tessai's eyes sparkled as if he were admiring an unparalleled piece of art. Over his years of teaching at the Shin'ō Academy, he had seen countless geniuses—those with high talent in Kido, naturally strong spiritual pressure, and rapid training speeds. But rarely had he seen someone like Aizen.
Aizen's meticulous observation of the battlefield, his perfectly timed Kido attacks and defenses, and his precise control of spiritual pressure—never too much or too little—were all impeccable.
Combined with near-perfect Shunpo movements, Aizen moved effortlessly through the explosions, showing no signs of pressure. His overall performance in this Kido combat was flawless. Even Tessai himself couldn't have done better under the same conditions.
If there was one flaw, it was Aizen's relatively weak spiritual pressure, which was only average among the elite class. Such a pity. If Aizen's spiritual pressure were stronger, he would be without any defects.
However, when Tessai turned his attention to another person, his mouth twitched, and his eyes jumped intensely. In stark contrast to Aizen, Akira had completely disregarded Tessai's teachings, focusing solely on full firepower.
His laughter mixed with Kido incantations turned the Kido barrier into a dazzling spectacle. Silver lightning and red flames exploded continuously, creating deafening roars and waves of air.
Aizen, familiar with Akira's spiritual pressure and strength, realized how wrong his previous assumptions were.
Akira's apparent seat officer-level spiritual pressure actually exploded with the power of a vice-captain. His combat style was bizarre, breaking all norms.
The power and quantity of his Kido were extraordinary, even if they were low-level spells.
Aizen had intended to use this opportunity to humble Akira, teaching him that there were always stronger people.
But at this rate, Aizen would have to retreat after a few rounds of Kido bombardment.
"Haha, Sosuke, do you feel my mage's soul?"
Akira laughed. "Weaklings like you don't understand the true essence of a mage. Try my latest Hado."
Akira clasped his hands, and a large amount of red smoke erupted from his feet, quickly filling the Kido barrier and covering everything in sight.
Aizen couldn't avoid it and was engulfed by the red smoke.
As the spectators' view was obscured, a surprising scene unfolded. Countless birds seemed to screech, and dazzling white light burst from the smoke.
Brilliant lightning intertwined, forming a net that engulfed the barrier.
This was the result of Aizen's research, the ultimate fusion brought by Kido inscriptions. Using the spiritual pressure of a single Sekienton, it unleashed a massive Hado attack. Tessai, seeing the sudden smoke, was puzzled. But as he prepared to stop the combat, the crackling arcs of electricity reached him.
"Wait…"
Realizing what it was, his heart skipped a beat, and his pupils shrank to pinpoints.
In the next moment, the Kido barrier was filled with radiant light. The students witnessed the formation of a sun.
Thunder roared, and white lightning, compressed to the extreme, unleashed infinite power, leaving countless scorch marks on the floor.
The students were stunned, unable to understand the composition of this Kido. Why did Akira's Sekienton contain such intense lightning?
The sound of tearing filled the air as the outermost Kido barrier was ripped open by the electric arcs. One white lightning bolt might be ordinary, but countless bolts connected by a medium transformed their destructive power.
Aizen, shocked by the scene, saw the defensive barrier left by Tessai disintegrating rapidly. This development was unexpected. He thought Akira would use higher-level Kido or break the rules for close combat. But Akira had perfectly fused the inscribed Kido, breaking conventional understanding.
Akira, you never cease to amaze me.
Aizen smiled slightly, releasing a bit of hidden spiritual pressure to withstand the incoming white lightning arcs as the defensive barrier shattered. When it was over, the Sekienton Lightning exploded, consuming all spiritual pressure and breaking the outer Kido barrier. The immense pressure covered the entire dojo.
As the Sekienton cleared, three figures appeared on the scorched floor.
Akira was unharmed, just as he was at the beginning.
Aizen was fine but had lost his defensive barrier, making the outcome of the Kido combat clear.
Tessai, confident in his strength, had no protective measures and took the full brunt of the lightning, looking like he had been run over by thunder from head to toe.
A tall piece of charcoal stood there, with black smoke occasionally rising from his mouth.
The only victim of the Kido combat was born…
