Chapter 9

Following Freya"s nose for drama did indeed lead them to an open area in front of a cafe.

There was a large circle surrounding two students; it looked like they didn"t want either of them to escape. However, those two did not seem to mind as they were up in each other"s faces arguing.

The two of them were males, and by the white badges on their collars, they were clearly freshman students.

The number of students who cause the most problems every year are always the freshman. They are new to the area, and they need to make a stand. Due to this many freshman students were very arrogant thinking that they were better than the rest, and when two of them met it usually ended in a fight.

While not everyone was stupid enough to start a fight on the first day of school, there are many exceptions. These two were definitely an exception.

Unlike Freya who went by the rankings of the current battle rating, there are those who don"t follow it. Why should they care about a ranking made up by the professors? Just because someone has a better EXO than them did not mean they were better at utilizing it.

Four freshman royalties? Who crowned them royals? I"m just as great if not better than them. That is what those people thought, and they would surely show it to their peers.

Nick watched as Ca.s.sandra and Dustin pushed their way through the crowd.

The fight did not start yet, but he was sure it was bound to happen at any moment. It just needed a kick starter.

"Stop, what do you two think you are doing?"

Ca.s.sandra was the first one to speak up causing both the boys to look in her direction.

The rousing from the crowd died down a little when she arrived. Some people took notice of the red badge on her collar. Everyone did not always read the booklets the schools gave out, so not everyone understood what that red badge signified. Especially the freshman who spoke with their fist instead of their words.

"Who the h.e.l.l are you? It"s best to back off before you find yourself in trouble!"

The one that spoke was a freshman with a heavy build. His muscles looked like they could burst out of his uniform at any moment.

"How about you two calm down if the situation becomes worse the consequences will be dire."

"If I want to burn his face off, I"ll burn his face off. Just try to stop me!"

The young male ignored Ca.s.sandra"s warning, and his attention focused on the youth in front of him. He made a motion with his hand.

"He is going to launch a fireball."

Nick said in a low voice. His small comment did not get past Freya"s ear as she heard what he said. Yet she made no comment on it.

A bright red light emerged from his palm and shot forward. The other youth did not have time to react as he did not think that he would be attacked so suddenly especially when a disciplinary committee member was right in front of them.


Even he was not stupid enough to make a move with them around.

No one could see it because no one was looking at Nick, but if they did glance at him, they would notice a change. His hazel eyes turned icy blue as he watched what was going on.

He saw various lines appearing on everyone"s body; these lines spread all over. These lines were essence channels. They were like veins, but instead of carrying blood they carried EXO essence.

Everyone had a different speed at which the essence flowed in their body. When a person used their ability the essence would rush to that part of their body and build up before it was released. The rate at which this happened was fast, fast enough to let a person cast a skill in under a second.

Normally one would only be able to see the channels and flow, but Nick was able to see the color of flow and where the essence was going to go. His experience lets him understand what type of ability was going to be released and the general direction of it.

No other person would be able to do what he is doing. Simply because reading the flow of essence as well as understanding the nature of it took a ma.s.sive amount of time. Yet for him, he could do read and understand it before the ability was even released.

That was not the only thing one had to know if they wanted to do what Nick did. They also must know which ability could be released and narrow it down by type. The vast number of abilities in the world made it so that no one would be able to understand the structure of each one. But he was different; he could do it with ease.

It was not like he actually did it, but more like his ability did it for him. It scanned the flow of essence inside a person"s body and detected the nature of the essence then it turned that flow into a specific color. This color would represent the type of EXO ability located in the body. An example would be a red flow meant that person had a fire type EXO.

Providence was like a natural database for every ability out there. It stored, a.n.a.lyzed and decoded many abilities. Which would then be called upon when finding out the what sort of skill was being used.

This all happened in under a second. It actually processed it before the person themselves could use their own ability.

It was like foresight; he knew what ability they were going to release before it happened. As for whether someone would be able to counter or dodge it in time, that depended on them.

The essence flow in Ca.s.sandra"s body rushed to her legs; it was brown in color. The flow rushed into the ground before disappearing.

A rock wall appeared from the ground as the fireball crashed into it. This rock wall also separate the two youths.

"Oh, she"s not bad."

Freya commented on Ca.s.sandra"s skills.

"If I"m not mistaken she should be a vanguard type. Didn"t expect her to be one of those, guess you really can"t judge a book by its cover."

Dustin"s body blurred before he appeared behind the youth who shot off the fireball. He gave him a swift chop to the back of the neck causing him to become unconscious.

Before he fell to the ground, Dustin grabbed him by the collar.

"Shows over, all of you leave now!"

Maybe it was the way he spoke, or maybe it was the due to the strength he displayed. Whatever the case may be, it caused many of the surrounding students to disperse.
