God's Eyes Chapter 95 - Did He Just Copy Me?

The former 75th Class was extremely disappointed in their opponents because they crushed all classes until the 70th with ease and the previous cheerful atmosphere was kinda weird.
There wasn′t even astonishment anymore, only disappointment as they asked themselves if these class battles were only there in order for them to improve there to fix all of their flaws in the Weaponry Knight technique or seriously held for all classes to be more motivated and competitive.
Jason fought more than three hours with Seron and improved his mastery extremely fast, while he was getting slightly overwhelmed by his opponent with his impressive movement sequences.
The only thing he was able to do was to defend while retreating and at the same time, Jason could only search for openings with his mana eyes glued on Seron′s legs in order to comprehend what kind of technique he was using.
After three hours, Jason had imprinted Seron′s mana usage into his brain, but he was neither sure what kind of technique Seron was using nor if he could copy this technique without reading the suitable manual.
He was still looking relative fine, even if sweat poured down his back, but Seron looked at Jason as if he was seeing a demon…
`How can he keep up with me?.....WAIT! Is he also here for Master? No..that can′t be the reason..`
While Seron and Jason′s mastery over the Weaponry Knight technique increased due to the pressure they gave each other, the other students were rather bored after training the Weaponry Knight technique for three hours straight while less than 20 were still determined to find their flaws.
After crushing class 70, they achieved the rights to challenge class 69, but most students were not as cheerful as before.
`Will we practice our technique for the whole week once again??` They already practiced the same technique for a week and now they should do the same, over and over again? Noo!!!
Unfortunately, they missed an important fact.
There has never been a master falling from the sky without putting in an effort.
If they were not strong-willed enough to train a technique for two weeks straight, they could also quit learning how to fight seriously.
Days passed and other than practicing his Heaven′s Hell technique, Jason battled against some weak-willed students, that had all heard about the famous 75th Class crushing all classes with ease.
Jason would rather spar with Seron and copy his movement technique than defeating the lowest-ranked member of all classes.
The only astonishing fact was that many classmates were achieving the basic mastery of the Weaponry Knight technique after tempering themself and carefully listening to their teachers' advice.
Other than practicing the Weaponry Knight technique, the 40 students that received tier-2 and tier-3 techniques from Mr.Greil practiced them in the meantime.
Seeing these students training their techniques, the surrounding students looked at their classmates enviously, as the sheer might of these techniques demolished training dolls easily.
Unfortunately higher tier techniques would take a toll on one′s body, as the required mana and body constitution were extremely high.
They could at most form one attack following the technique description, either with their weapon or mana affinity.
A certain girl that picked the advanced mana manipulation manual, which was a tier-3 grade technique, created a tidal wave during one of her battles, gushing the perplexed student out of the combat ring.
After that spell, she was extremely exhausted but that didn't matter as she won her round.
He and Seron tempered each other and they got somewhat of friends, probably
Fighting with each other for more than three hours on a daily basis told one many information while the personality could be easily found out during sparring for such a long time.
While Jason knew that Seron was hiding someone, he seemed like a nice guy and Seron also liked Jason which caused them to become sparring partners.
Unfortunately for Jason was, however, that Seron reached the 3rd Adept rank and could now overwhelm Jason more easily as the pressure he had to endure during their battles increased exceptionally which was also somewhat beneficial for Jason.
Diamonds can only be polished under high pressure!!!
It was only on Friday after they were promoted to class 55th, that the first big hurdles began to appear.
The gap of mana core ranks increased by a lot, while their opponents had better soulbonds, indicating a higher amplification.
Class 54 for example were their first hurdle with most students at the 3rd and some of the 4th Adept ranks were one to two ranks above their own average strength.
Jason with his mana eyes activated could still easily defeat the weakest of each respective class but the second and third rounds were always more taxing.
The battles became closer and it was more difficult to tell who would win while Till wondered how long they could continue their offensive after they charged through the 60th Class, which already astounded him.
Increasing one's combat prowess comparable to almost classes 20 ranks higher in a single month was definitely not easy but the ambition and determination his students showed, amazed him and he would definitely remember that.
Jason had some memorable fights.
One of them was against a wind affinity user that enhanced his speed, which was normally Jason′s best advantage.
His opponent was a 3-Adept rank with an amplification for agility and a wind affinity which further provided him with an additional boost in speed.
Jason couldn't even throw his knives as they were immediately deflected by wind bullets.
His Weaponry Knight mastery was already close to the familiar mastery thanks to Seron but it was not really helpful in this kind of situation Jason was in as his speed was just too low to reach his opponent.
After defending for some time, Jason decided to try copying Seron′s technique, even if it was dangerous.
That didn't matter to Jason, because he hated losing more than anything else.
As such he copied Seron′s movement technique, which he had imprinted into his mind after fighting with Seron for four days.
Jason′s opponent suddenly noticed that he was becoming slower...NO? Jason′s speed increased and not only by a tiny bit.
Using half of his remaining mana, which would constantly be replenished, Jason exerted Seron′s movement technique.
His speed increased by almost 20% and after further increasing his lower body with mana in order to prevent sustaining any injuries, Jason decided to use every last mana particle inside him in order to follow the mana circulation of his copied movement technique.
Jason′s speed further increased by 20% and he could barely fight head-on with his opponent because he was overwhelmed by the sudden increase of speed.
It was still noticeable that Jason was slower, but his superior close combat technique overwhelmed the perplexed, and stupified wind ability user, as Jason bent down only to jump to the front in order to injure the wind users leg,
When Jason′s opponent looked down, a projectile hit his chin, forcefully pushing his head back.
A throwing knife hit him at the most unexpected moment, shocking him.
Seron already finished his fight and decided to spectate Jason′s fierce fight as he noticed his sudden increase in speed.
Somehow the technique Jason exerted seemed way too familiar to him as Jason poured his whole mana pool inside the skill, Seron cried out.
"WHAT?!" before he quieted down immediately in order to not attract too much attention.
Normally Seron was rather low-key and quiet so his scream still attracted some attention as the surrounding students looked at him before they saw that Jason won his fight unexpectedly.
Even Till was astonished about Jason′s sudden boost in speed as he couldn′t remember that to have seen him learning or exerting a tiered movement skill.
Jason was one of the last ones to finish his battle and Till spectated his whole battle.
Over the whole course of the spar, it was obvious that Jason was on the losing side, even if he gave his everything but the sudden usage of a tiered movement skill shocked not only his opponent who was taken by surprise but also him even.
And even more so, as he was more than a little bit familiar with this technique, as his eyes widened.
The only thing he could sense was Seron screaming out and that Jason wasn′t able to use the whole potential of this technique,
Looking at Seron, many different kinds of emotions and thoughts appeared in his mind but focusing on the present circumstances it was obvious that Seron was extremely shocked while looking at Jason.
Seron was unable to think clearly and the thought that Jason could have copied his technique caused him to shudder violently.
`Did he just copy me?`He thought desperately while thinking about the low possibility when a sudden memory reappeared in his mind
`Didn′t Master say that Jason has mana eyes? Has he copied the flow of mana over the last few days? Is that even possible?`
Thousands of thoughts ran through his mind but there was a simple solution for Seron to figure out whether Jason copied him or not.
`Just ask him!!` He told himself and Jason was slowly walking out of the combat arena when Seron could see Jason′s pale face.
"Jason! Are you okay?" Seron asked worriedly... he himself had trained his movement skill for multiple months until he reached his recent velocity, not even Jason was aware of.
Jason was just forceful using the movement technique without any real understanding, which was quite dangerous.
Till noticed Jaso′s condition and appeared in front of both students while taking out a low-grade energy replenishing reagent from his spatial storage.
Pouring the content into Jason′s mouth, he immediately felt better.
Jason could stand up again but he still felt exhausted as his body grumbled like he was starving for weeks.
"Your body used up your stored nutrition to regenerate the life force it converted from the lack of mana. Don't use techniques you don't know, idiot!" Mr.Greil explained.
After that, Jason starved down some food he had in his storage space while Seron was scanning his body for the whole time.
Jason was embarrassed as he asked what's going on when Seron almost exploded
"Did you copy the floating sky movement technique?" Seron asked curiously and involuntarily he said the name of his movement technique, which he wasn't supposed to do.
"Ahh, that's the name.. Sorry Seron..hehe... I didn't know how to win otherwise."
