The Copy Mage

Chapter 28: Damian vs Jaspal

"Next Round - Damian vs Jaspal"

Everybody gasped in anticipation and shock of what was just announced.

"Jaspal, come on stage" called out Ivan.

"Matilda could you please bring Damian from the infirmary," asked Ivan, but also gave her no choice to decline.

As the friendliest and the one that seemed to be closest to Damian other than Milo, she was the obvious choice and jogged off in the direction that she saw Damian follow the nurses to.

She went through a large door that was on the edge of the arena, that led her down a corridor and when she walked down, she saw a large open area with many nurses, injured students and all types of medical necessities.

"Sorry to disturb you, but do you know where Damian went," she asked a nurse that was walking by.

"Who is Damian" she replied unsure of who Matilda was looking for.

"Well, he is a boy that has white hair and yellow eyes that is around the same height as me" described Matilda as she tried to recollect what Damian looked like.

Hearing the description she instantly realised that it correlated with the description of a rumoured child within that was within the infirmary that was favoured by the revered senior medic and Elder Grace.

"Are you a friend of his" she asked trying to gauge whether it was worth being friendly and respectful to the random child.

"Yes, I am looking for him and it is urgent for the newbie competition" she answered quickly, knowing that the entire crowd and competition was waiting on her.

"Please follow me," the nurse said as she hurriedly led her to where she knew that Damian was because of it being the room that Elder Grace last used.

Knocking on the door then walking in, she saw Milo laying on the bed still unconscious as his body was recovering itself, while Damian sat down cross-legged and seemed to be cultivating.

"Damian quickly, it's your turn to battle" informed him Matilda, as she grabbed his arm, pulling him up and dragging him out of the room.

"I will be back quickly" he mumbled as he followed Matilda back to the arena.

While he was cultivating he had already decided that he would win the competition and would make sure that he would beat Trevor ruthlessly in the same way he did to Milo.

As soon as the crowd saw Matilda rushing back through the large door, dragging Damian with her, the crowd began to cheer.

Everybody was excited to see what Damian was capable of in battle and were enjoying the drama he was involved in, that was common in the world of cultivation, while gambling on the results.

Damian calmly walked towards the central stage and climbed onto the stage, facing off against Jaspal.

Under the gaze of thousands, the shy Damian was able to break out of his shell and with Milo and his mother on the forefront of his mind, he felt as though he was capable of anything.

"Give up" stated Damian to Jaspal directly, not wanting to have to injure somebody that he had nothing against.

Jaspal felt his pride being stepped on and in the same way as Trevor also hated those that were arrogant with their rare Soul Spirits and looked down on others like him with a Body Augmentation Soul Spirit.

"Your the one that should give up as it will be me that will defeat you" he refuted angrily.

Damian shrugged, unaffected by his threat which made Jaspal rage even more.

Seeing that they had nothing else to say and excited to watch Damian battle, Ivan walked back to the edge of the stage.

"You may begin" he announced.

[Activate the Maxwell Fire Power] communicated Damian to Utsusu as soon as he was allowed to begin.

He instantly felt his previously clear and changeable energy become hot and burning red as it rapidly circulated around his body.

While Jaspal's body had a thin layer of energy, his body became stronger and was reinforced by his Body Augmentation Soul Spirit.

Wildly charging at Damian, as he roared as loudly as he could in self-encouragement, Jaspal like most others, didn't have any knowledge at all when it came to battle.

Whereas Damian who was affected by his forgotten past memories of watching movies and anime, that were a sub-conscious inspiration to him through his soul, had a much better idea of how to fight efficiently compared to his opponent.

Flame Reinforcement

He felt his scorching energy spread throughout his physical body as he could feel his body's power being strengthened and reinforced.

The skill was instantly recognised by Ivan and many of those in the crowd as one of the most fundamental and useful skills that was learnt for those with Fire Type Soul Spirits.

It was ranked as an E:9 ranked Soul Spirit Skill, that were ranked according to its difficulty, its potential and its power according to the rank of the Soul Spirit, and was a skill that was not widely owned despite its fundamentality because of the rarity of fire Soul Spirits.

"He already knows some skills" observed Ivan who closely watched Damian's every move.

[I will finish this in one move] decided Damian who didn't want to waste any time or energy on this battle that was easy in his eyes, compared to the guards he defeated on the way out of the Maxwell Family.

Damian about to be hit by Jaspal's wild swing to his head, suddenly ducked under and launched a strong fist into Jaspal's now open stomach.

Jaspal was winded by the blow and stumbled onto the ground as he panted for air.

Despite his anger and seeing everybody's ruthlessness and cruelty towards each other, Damian was still very kind-hearted and didn't want to hurt him too much, which was why he didn't punch with his full power and didn't use the Fire Fist Skill that he knew.

"Round 3 Completed - Winner Damian" announced Ivan seeing how easy it was for Damian to knock him down without using his full power.

Damian deactivated his Soul Spirit, walked off stage and headed back to the infirmary.

On his way off the stage, he gave Trevor a hateful glare who gave him an evil and provocative smile that frustrated him.

An enmity between them was formed.

"Next Round - Matilda vs Trevor" Ivan announced.
