" Who is this, worm" Carpathia said holding his neck.
Fadex was shocked at how quickly he had been uselessed. He smacked Carpathia's hand, that was on his neck.
With his strength he would be able to flatten several buildings with that one hit, he had made sure not to hold back with that strike, he knew that even if the others and Lord Macabre were sucking up to him this much he was definitely strong, he just didn't know how much.
Boom!!
Crack!!
" Argh!!!" Fadex screamed in pain, his bines were broken and Carpathia had not even attacked yet, it was just his body's natural strength that had destroyed his bones, his face paled in pain.
Carpathia flung him away, turning away but not before looking at him like he was even below trash.
Thud!!
Fadex felt his heart beating, he was scared, this was the first time he had felt this much fear, even the head Knight, never made him feel this much fear when they spared.
Carpathia turned away and started away.
" Argh!! Ino-Suse!! Ke!!" He yelled, as he rose his second hand, lightning stormed down like rain.
" No!! You fool!!" Arthur shouted as he and the others jumped away from the range of the attack, leaving Carpathia in the middle of the attack.
Fadex smiled as he witnessed the lightning rain on Carpathia.
In that short moment, Macabre thought to himself, ' that attack! It can wipe out an entire village, what if, just what if, that attack kills him, we would finish our Lord's mission, while also taking our one of the strongest beings in the world, plus if I claim it my attack, I could get promoted!', Macabre was quite excited.
Not just him, but all the other knights who had stood back as Fadex attacked, all had the same thought, what if he dies.
He was about to congratulate Fadex, when the lightning cleared and Carpathia stood there unharmed, not a single thread was loose, his purple hair continued to move in filtered, not a single strand had be burnt.
" Pathetic, how are you so weak!" Carpathia said, his voice grave, in that moment, all the blood in their faces drained, and from within Carpathia, a shadow that covered even the sun's light opened, everyone there felt it, the unimaginable pressure of the threat that was the shadow.
The shadow formed like a face and two eyes opened, staring right at Fadex who couldn't move, if he thought that he was scared before he knew now, that that was nothing but a taste of the horror that was before him.
" No!" He muttered as he felt his spritual energy being drained, he was confused but could do nothing, soon the energy used to stay afloat in the skies, died away.
He fell.
Suddenly a hand formed from the shadow held him up as it continued to feast on his spiritual energy.
" No! You can't, you can't do that!" He yelled, his cultivation level had dropped from the mid levels of the Henkei form to barely a 1st stage hero.
If that was all, it would not be too bad, it would have been a hassle but he would've just begin his cultivation again, he had from a young age been hailed as a genius at cultivation.
But what has happened was even more terrible, he couldn't even feel spiritual energy anymore, his spiritual sea core had been absorbed into he dark abyss that was Carpathia's shadow.
Carpathia's face was one of utter disgust as he gazed at Fadex.
" No more of this talk, I have it, if you want to get it back, bring your entire nation because the only way you'll get the core is over my dead body" Carpathia said, his threat shaking them all to their core.
This level of disrespect and disregard was only available to those in the legend form, capable of wiping entire nations with ease.
Macabre knew discussions were over, he signaled to the others and they immediately retreated.

Meanwhile.
Three days had passed since their results were released. It was finally time for their first class.
The timetable had been released the ext day and Itekan was shocked to see that he, Itoyea and Binturu were all in different classes, although Kutote and Flocker were in the same him.
Itekan was excited, he arrived at the classroom early, searching for Kutote amongst the fifty students scattered around. He saw him at the other end of class seated in a lotus position, he was cultivating so Itekan thought it wise to not disturb him but rather watch him.
Flocker was one of the last to come in, and his mood was downcast, Itekan wondered why, he has not seen him since they they got here. The fact that he was at class now ment he passed the exams, honestly Itekan was shocked.
Once everyone had settled down, a short old man walked in, and all the chatter in the room died instantly.
Itekan recognized him, he was the one that had interrupted his duel, the previous week.
" I am Rupin Ye, you shall refer to me as Elder Ye. I am your instructor, I will be taking your physical classes. Strength above all, that is all that matters to me and that is the only way to pass my class." Elder Ye, hands behind his back.
" Grab a training suit and head to the training grounds." He said as he walked out.

A few minutes later they all stood around. They were all dressed in a skin tight overalls, with a watch like device on their wrists.
Kutote diddled with the watch wondering it's functions. His face however was blank, the past few days had been quite fast paced for him, his body had taken the time to healed completely, but besides that he had been growing stronger too. He was still getting accustomed to ability which allowed him to copy any technique he sees. It was very unique because what saw when using this technique wasn't normal, he saw the spritual signatures of everyone around him. So when a technique is used he sees as spritual energy is directly turned into the attack, he also sees any wrong or unnecessary moves made allowing him to use the technique best.
Essentially any technique he copies isn't a cheap imitation it's as if he had learnt the technique direct for its creator.
