Guardian Of The End

"Seems like I am going next." Zeke muttered and stepped forward.

He was lazy most of the times but seeing Amber and Jason, Zeke couldn't help but feel fired up.

The young ice mage wanted to show of his powers too.

Zeke cracked his knuckle and casually waited for the B class students to step forward. The other party was reluctant to fight him after seeing the result but they didn't want others to think of them as a coward.

The students slowly stepped forward and the battle began. Zeke's eyes flickered from one child to another.

The children gulped nervously. They were afraid that Zeke would use a flashy move like the duo before him.

"Zeke wins." The B grade teacher announced the results.

The trio was left surprised when they heard the results. They hadn't felt anything and they hadn't seen Zeke move on bit.

"Attacks don't need to be flashy." Zeke said with a wink. He went back to stand with his group before yawning.

Just like Amber, he hadn't experienced any powerful fights. This was the reason that it was hard for him to get fired up for a fight or basically anything that required him to focus and use his energy.

'Though I have a feeling that these guys are about to give me a good challenge.' Zeke smiled inwardly.

He knew that the other four students in class Z were also like him. Even though he hadn't seen Mila and Wade's powers yet, the black-haired boy could tell that they were powerful.

"Teacher, can we give up?" one of the students from Class B asked the teacher.

"If you feel like you can't win, sure," the teacher smiled. "Its important to know when you have to back down. Some people died simply because they didn't know how to back down."

The students talked amongst themselves before deciding to quit as a whole class. The teacher respected their decision and announced the withdrawal of class B.

"Good job guys," Izzy praised her children. "You guys sure know how to end fights quickly."

Jason had to agree with her statement as well. All of them were extremely strong when compared to other ten years old.

[ You are prodigies. ] The system simplified.

'I guess that's true.' Jason sighed.

Since they had won the first round, all of class Z students settled down on the arena floor and waited for the other fights to be over.

Class E went against class D next. Jason was left bored half the time since the students of both the classes were at an extremely lower level.

Most of their attacks clashed against each other and ended up creating tiny explosions. But it was clear that the E class had an unfair advantage due to which they won in the end.

Something unexpected happened in the next pair of matches between Class C and Class A. Just after losing the first match, class C students decided to call quits.

They had understood that it wouldn't be easy for them to defeat someone much higher than their level.

This narrowed things down to only two classes.

"We are going to have a best of three match to quicken things up." Izzy announced as she was the referee for the last round.

"Do any of you mind if I go next?" Wade curiously asked.

"No," Jason replied.

"Nah," Amber shrugged.

"Haaaaa…" Zeke yawned which everyone considered as a yawn.

"Sure," Mila replied which settled that Wade would be going next.

"Would you like to participate in the round after that?" Jason questioned. He was getting curious about what powers the princess had and decided to ask her to participate.

"All right…" Mila mumbled and looked ahead. She seemed nervous for some reason yet Jason didn't seem to mind it.

As long as he got to see her powers, everything was fine.

[ Why do you sound like some sort of scientist or researcher? ]

'I am just trying to know my classmates better.'

[ Haa… I believe you. ] The system sighed. It decided to watch the battle instead of arguing with Jason.

Wade was casually standing in front of the other students. Class A had an advantage that allowed them to send two students at a time.

Perhaps it was Wade's lousy stance or their recent victory but the students of class A were grinning.

They thought that they had the entire game in the bag.

When the match began, the duo from class A were ready to unleash their strongest attacks and win the match.

However what happened was the opposite.

Wade's body suddenly erupted with a horrible aura which clashed with his casual personality. Most of the children flinched yet Jason stood still.

His eyes were narrowed as he sensed the energy coming out of Wade's body. The silver-haired boy wasn't sure whether he was sensing it correctly or not because if he was, another over the top prodigy was standing right in front of him.

[ Host, you are thinking right. Dark element is pouring out of his body and by the looks of it, he definitely has a S grade affinity with the dark element. This means that he has an even higher affinity with the dark element than you have. ]

Instead of being envious, Jason fell deep in thought.

'Hestia, there are nine strong guardians referred to as the Nine guardians of Clover, right?'

[ Yes, ]

'System, the chances of someone getting a S grade affinity are also quite less?'

[ Yes, but why are you asking that? ]

'I'm trying to wonder if there is something wrong with the Vancouver kingdom. Three out of the strongest nine guardians are here plus someone with a S Grade affinity is also present here.

Even crazier thing is that all of us belong to the same academy. Is this simply a coincidence or is the Vancouver kingdom too powerful?'

[ That question can only be answered by gathering enough knowledge. Maybe we should make a trip to the library in the upcoming month. ]

'Maybe we can do that today only after getting finished.' Jason replied.

His eyes stared at Wade who was casually walking back to stand with the rest of his class. A funny smell suddenly made Jason frown.

His eyes soon located the source of the smell.

The students from Class A had wet their pants after experiencing the horrible aura!
