"Are you praising yourself? You're the one who hurt me so badly. " Garon's face was calm, but he purposely made his body tremble slightly to show that he was trying his best to endure the pain. Actually, this kind of pain was nothing out of the ordinary for him in the past. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to appear normal, he could even sit up and move around a little. He even had ways to deal with this kind of injury, but this didn't fit the behavior of a teenager at all.
"To be honest, I originally wanted to aim for the top three to become an elite student." Celine recalled the feeling just now, as if she had been completely seen through. Even now, she still had lingering fears.
"That's such a coincidence, I also had this intention." Garon 'forced' a smile and replied.
"Oh?" Celine turned her head. "I thought there were many experts like you in Blackboard."
Garon didn't reply, lying on his back and letting the nurse wipe his sweat.
"If there really are a lot of them, then it's impossible for me to get into the top three," Cillin continued.
"What's the name of your last pure willpower attack?" Garon knew that the competition was out of the question, but he had already displayed his strength and potential, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to be valued by Blue Narcissus. He might as well ask about the content he was interested in.
"That was Invisible Needle, a technique that I can only use once." Celine was facing someone of the same level as her, but she didn't have the arrogance from before, instead, she seemed very calm. "Pure willpower techniques are very difficult, even I can only achieve Willpower Oscillation and Invisible Needle, and they both consume a lot of energy."
She paused. "But you, you were suppressed by my willpower, how did you manage to make such a strong counterattack?"
Garon smiled, feeling that Celine wasn't that annoying other than her foul mouth, she just purely liked to pursue power.
"It's a type of attack instinct, I can predict the trajectory of your attacks." He didn't hide anything, even if he told her, she wouldn't be able to learn it. It was an ability that could only be achieved with a lot of experience and a high level of mastery. Otherwise, with so many martial artists in the Secret Technique World who practiced martial arts and secret techniques, it wouldn't be possible for there to only be a few King of the Century experts.
As expected, Celine seemed to understand a little about this realm.
"You're bluffing. Only Inherited Pilots can do this. How old are you? "
"The problem is that your skills aren't that great," Garon retorted.
"Ugh …" Celine was speechless. Indeed, if the opponent was much stronger than her in terms of combat skills, then such an effect could indeed be achieved.
Garon, on the other hand, understood the hidden meaning behind his words.
"You mean to say that there are people who have reached the true apex level?"
What a joke. The King of the Century was only a few people out of hundreds of millions of people. How could such a high-level expert appear so easily here?
"Of course. Inherited Level Mech Pilots are all strategic experts. Most of these skills are just basic," Celine answered naturally.
On second thought, Garon realized that there was indeed no need to be surprised.
The King of the Century might be a king in the Secret Technique World, but in the entire Secret Technique World, there were less than a few million people who could practice and come into contact with Secret Techniques. Therefore, the King of the Century had a one in a million chance. In this world, the population of a planet was no less than a few billion. Among them, Mech Pilots were the mainstream. Among the billions of people, there were at least a few tens of millions who were pursuing the goal of becoming a Mech Pilot. There were countless students from various big and small academies. They were all pursuing the legend of a Mech Pilot who could defeat ten thousand people.
With such a ratio, it was not surprising that there were some King of the Century level experts.
Celine didn't notice Garon's pondering gaze. She was still talking about her own things.
"Our Blackboard Academy has such experts. Principal Cruz and Vice Principal Simis are both top-notch experts who have reached this level. Combined with Willpower, such combat skills can almost reach the legendary terrifying level of one against a thousand. "Celine's eyes revealed a strong yearning.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. I wonder how we'll be arranged for the next match since we're tied," Garon asked.
"There's nothing arranged. We can't participate in the match anymore. Damn it! If I didn't meet you first, I would've killed Caus directly. Even if I were to fight Barry head on, it's hard to say who would win! "Celine suddenly revealed an unwilling expression.
"Save your energy to heal your wounds. If you're unwilling, you can just challenge him head on next time and be done with it," Garon said lazily.
Celine instantly looked like a deflated balloon. She glared at him fiercely and turned her head to rest.
*****
Caus sat in the contestant's grid. Just like his instructor, he saw the match situation above.
"These two guys …" His forehead was sweating slightly.
"If you were to meet them, would you be confident?" The instructor asked softly.
Caus really wanted to answer yes, but he had his own pride. Such an answer wouldn't change the reality. Without mentioning anything else, just that Willpower Oscillation Technique alone could completely suppress him. It was even possible that he would be instantly killed in a short period of time.
"Prepare for the next match," the instructor sighed. "Don't think too much. Since they've entered the match, it's your luck. There are only three spots for the elites."
Caus also heaved a sigh of relief.
"I understand."
He wasn't thinking about anything else now. That Nonosiva actually had such strong potential and strength. If that was the case, was it worth it to continue making enemies with him? This was something that needed to be carefully considered. Fortunately, he didn't directly deal with his opponent. Instead, it was just his subordinates who helped him. When the time came, he could completely push the blame onto them and clear his name.
When faced with an opponent that could no longer be easily dealt with, and would only become stronger and stronger, under the conditions of legal restrictions, regardless of whether there was a deep grudge or not, the first thing one would consider would not be to destroy the legal system and kill the opponent, but to resolve this conflict.
Only an idiot would be so extreme in such a situation.
Caus was already thinking about how to coax Nonosiva. However, that guy's background was very poor. He reckoned that as long as he paid a small price, it shouldn't be a big problem.
*****
Garon withdrew from the match. The match between him and Celine was concluded as a draw. Although they couldn't advance, both of them had displayed outstanding abilities and potential. The higher-ups would probably take them seriously.
After Instructor Hamm, Fervale and the others finished dealing with the rankings of the competition, they chased after the ambulance and went straight to the hospital. Mia and Aier also got up and followed closely behind.
On the spectator stand, the two spectators from Blue Narcissus also exchanged opinions.
"Report it as it is. Let's see what the person in charge of Grade C decides."
"I think he should pass. He'll be treated like an elite student."
"But if he didn't pass, he didn't pass. I think …" The other person didn't continue. Both of them felt sorry for Garon. "He clearly had the potential of an elite student. What a pity."
"Yeah."
The match didn't stop because of Garon and Celine's withdrawal. Instead, it continued. After a slight commotion at the judges' table, they still regretfully didn't make any more moves. Instead, they focused more of their attention on the finals that were coming up.
However, the recording of Garon and Celine's battle just now had been circulated. Both of their names as geniuses were faintly becoming more and more famous. Whether it was Garon or Celine, both of their battle records had shown this point. Although both of them had lost the ability to continue competing due to their heavy injuries, the recording of their final battle had left a deep impression on everyone.
After the trio of Merseus and Bariqaus were certain to enter the elite inner courtyard, Nonosiva and Celine had also faintly become the strongest First Seats in the hearts of all the Grade C students.
Especially those in the middle level like Fervale. Most of them only had the Willpower of Level One Upper Willpower. Compared to Celine's near Level Three comprehensive strength, there was a huge difference. They were also the ones who were most aware of the difference between the two of them. As for Nono, who was able to injure both of them and Celine, thinking of his previous undefeated battle record, naturally, he was also raised to the same level of comprehensive Level Three strength.
No one would have thought that an expert like Nonosiva would only have Willpower that was not even at Level One. If Celine had used pure Willpower techniques from the beginning, Garon would not have been able to achieve such a result. Most likely, he would have been defeated by Wu Shang.
At the same time, while most of the attention in the Blackboard Region was focused on the Academy Ranking Tournament, waves of radiation were faintly emitted from the outskirts of the Southwest Region of the Blackboard Region.
*****
Southwest of the Blackboard Region.
In the blue sky, there were no clouds for thousands of miles. It was a pure blue color.
Hiss!!
Suddenly, a pitch-black distorted sphere appeared out of thin air. The sphere was surrounded by black electric arcs, emitting a crisp crackling sound. The entire sphere was only the size of a soccer ball at first. After that, it rapidly expanded, becoming bigger and bigger.
Boom!
In the midst of the commotion, the entire sphere exploded. A black and red Mech covered in scars appeared from within. The Mech was in the shape of a human. Half of its head had been sliced off by a sharp weapon. Its right arm and right leg seemed to have been crudely repaired with a white plaster-like substance. It held a very long black scythe in its hand. However, the blade of the scythe was full of notches. The body of the scythe was full of bumps and dents, as if it had been used to block some kind of attack.
As soon as the black and red Mech appeared, it fell straight down. Behind it, red flames spurted out intermittently. However, it could only slow down the speed of its fall.
"I … can't accept this …!!" A hoarse roar of pain came from within the Mech.
Boom!!
The entire Mech crashed onto a hard rock cliff and exploded immediately, turning into countless pieces. The yellow and red flames turned into two overlapping halos, cutting in all directions. They swept out for hundreds of meters before slowly fading and disappearing.
All the places that had been cut by the yellow and red halos slowly showed smooth cuts.
That hard grey rock cliff also slowly slid down. A large piece of rock at the top of the cliff was directly cut off by the halos.
