God's Eyes Chapter 153 - This Is Boring

Many different terrifying ideas formed within the minds of the other affiliated students that observed Jason′s battle against the tall youth, as one silently mumbled to himself.
"How large is his soul?" which everyone heard because the surrounding was dead-silent and the other youths all around wondered the same as they began to gossip amongst each other.
"Do you think his physique and mana core size already reached the 6th Adept rank with two evolved ranked beasts as soulbond?"
"What about his soul… why is he even at the 6th affiliated school with an extremely large soul world in addition to contract two evolved ranked beasts indicating a soul energy of more than 200… "
"Are we some kind of joke or why is someone like this not at the main Vanguard school?"
Jason took a few deep breaths in order to calm down his messy mind as it was extremely difficult to multitask so many things at the same time.
Not only did he have to supply everything with his mana, but he also had to regulate the perfect timing for the icicles to explode, while exerting his weightless step in order to rush to the tall youths' side, only for him to eliminate him at the perfect moment.
The tall youth stared at him with shock, as Jason sheathed his daggers once again, only to smile apologetically towards the tall youth.
"Sorry for the inconvenience. Next time don't be so arrogant without having accumulated enough information about your opponent."
Without trying to act arrogant, Jason added silently
"You could have picked someone easier in order to obtain a special combat class spot"
Ignoring the dumbfounded expression on the tall youth, he walked back to Seron, who congratulated him disgruntled.
Seron was confident in his own strength, as he reached the physique and mana core size of a 7th Adept while being innately at the 5th Adept rank, which could already be considered good.
In addition to that, he was also able to defeat someone with a physique and mana core size at the 9th Adept rank with enough mana injections, but Jason's feat looked extremely easy from the outside.
Even though Seron knew that it was an extremely difficult accomplishment, the elegance and fineness Jason showcased in addition to the astonishing feat of generating icicles with flames within was even more shocking and difficult at the same time.
Seron's fight mostly relied on his physique and the detailed usage of his mana to enhance his physique at certain body parts in order to ensure his victory against higher-ranked opponents, but his fights felt and looked rather shabby which wasn′t the case with Jason′s fights.
As an heir of the Gier family, he had to hold on to the reputation of the family and fight gloriously but instead of that, he was on Astrix island, a small punny island, fighting against higher-ranked students while feeling like a beggar.
It was extremely annoying and even more frustrating was Jason′s combat prowess that was comparable to his own if not even higher, while he was two whole levels lower than he himself.
His desire to become stronger increased every time he saw Jason fight and Seron was even more motivated, as he received a challenge from a 7th Adept rank.
Accepting the challenge, Seron's fighting spirit soared and Jason felt the indestructible will to win from Seron, causing him to ignore the onlooking gazes that tried to see through him.
Looking at the combat arena, where Seron was inside, Jason′s mana eyes scanned through the challenger as he noticed his mana core size at the 9th Adept rank, while he had a water affinity.
Seron′s mana core size was at the 7th Adept rank but Jason doubted that Seron would lose as his mana sensitivity and minute details were extremely well defined in addition to his soulbonds affinity [mana injection] which were able to disregard the mana core size of his opponent.
The only difference between Seron and his opponent was, that his opponent′s physique was most likely higher in addition to the water affinity.
Among the most basic affinities, the water affinity was seen as the weakest followed by earth, wind, and fire, but Jason didn′t agree with such statements.
Every affinity had its strengths and flaws and the wielder was the most problematic fact one had to consider when judging over the might of a certain affinity.
For example, if Jason with a high comprehension would have a water affinity, he would practice it multiple hours a day to figure out all of its characteristics before he would try to find ways to attack his opponent with lethal attacks.
Water affinities were seen as rather weak because of their lacking attack and defensive abilities compared to the fire and earth affinity, while a wind affinity could increase one's speed by a large margin.
Nevertheless, Jason liked the water affinity due to multiple reasons more than the earth affinity for example and he was expectant to see how Seron's opponent would use his affinity in order to fight against Seron's aggressive strategic advancement, causing a high amount of pressure, Jason already witnessed hundreds of times.
When the AI initiated the start of the fight, Jason's mana eyes noticed that Seron immediately injected himself with three mana injections as the mana fluctuations around Seron heightened to a devastating degree, as Seron′s sword began to glow white.
'Huh?' Jason questioned in his mind as he noticed Seron's special sword ray Seron used against him a month ago.
This attack was at least at the evolved rank and Jason′s eyes widened in expectations to see how Seron′s opponent would defend against the blade ray, as he continued watching.
While Seron gathered his mana within the sword, his opponent wasn't standing idle as he manifested a five-meter-long spear out of thin air, with compressed mana, as he compressed it, even more, forcing it into shape.
'So a head-on clash, huh?' he wondered.
From Jason′s estimation, both attacks would disintegrate upon clashing with each other which meant the following sequences were equally important.
However, one rather disappointing fact was, that Seron′s opponent had used more than half of his mana in order to form the compressed evolved ranked water spear, which was a waste of precious mana during a fight, while Seron only used his three mana injections, without a single drop of his own mana.
Releasing his blade ray with a horizontal slash, Seron already noticed that the water spear of his opponent would most likely shatter his own sword ray causing him to frown lightly as the water spear shoot out with a terrifying velocity.
Upon clashing with each other in the center of the combat arena, a loud *BOOM* resounded tin the surrounding, as a fog wall spread through the combat ring, covering everything within for the spectating students.
Only Jason with his mana eyes could see what was happening within as he suddenly turned away from the arena in order to caress Artemis who nagged him all the time, demanding more pats.
"This is boring" Jason mumbled, causing the surrounding students to look at him as if he was stupid.
How could such a battle be boring, their attacks were magnificent and everyone was expecting what happened within.
There was no way for them to know that Seron exerted his floating sky movement technique immediately after the fog spread through the small arena in order to finish off his opponent, who was already extremely exhausted.
With his spear, the water affinity user tried to fight Seron with his physique, but due to Seron′s advantage with his whole mana pool and additional mana injections left, he could finish off his opponent rather easily.
In the end, the water affinity user disappointed Jason, causing him to voice out his opinion.
The AI issued the obvious outcome [Victory, Seron Gier] and Jason focused more on Artemis than the astonished youths around him that once again gossiped around.
'Are these students here to challenge us or play around and gossip? Do they believe this is some kind of vacation?' Jason thought in his mind, not being able to comprehend the thoughts of his 14 to 15-year-old peers.
