Chapter 79 - Difference In Their Ability

Randy followed his classmates as they made their way towards the five dolls that were stationed in the center of the field of their school's training field, which was as big a stadium for sports. 

Randy did not bother to pick any doll specifically and only followed some of his classmates that picked the first doll as their testing doll. 

Unexpectedly, Jeremiah was among this group of students as they stood at the forefront of the group, seemingly planning on being the first one to take his ability test. 

At this moment, when he noticed that Randy was also in his group, he revealed a confident smile as he silently thought to himself. 

'Hmph! So what is if you had awakened your ability? You're nothing but a body enhancer. My flame ability can easily burn your skin even if you reinforce your body.'

Thinking this, he raised his chin high as he planned on showing Randy the difference between their abilities through this ability test. 

With that thought in mind, he quickened his steps and eventually stood in front of the first doll, and immediately the aura around his body changed.

At this moment, there was a sudden change in the air as one could feel the temperature becoming hotter from the natural elemental aura that he currently exuding from his body. 

This was not a spell but an innate ability that he awakened during his awakening process. Unlike a spell that needed an incantation or an invocation to execute, this was an ability that can be controlled by him unconditionally and the only limit was his own imagination. 

'Whoa! What a terrifying flame aura, I can feel my skin burning from the heat."

"As expected of Jeremiah, he really is a genius of our class."

"Isn't that an elemental fire spell that is he is using? How can it be so strong?"

"You idiot! Did you forget that he had an innate flame attribute? That is only a flame technique that works the same as an elementary fire spell, but it is way stronger than an ordinary elementary fire spell."

"Ah, now I remember, I keep forgetting because it is not much different from a fire spell used by mages… No wonder he is the top of our class."

Indeed, Jeremiah was at the top of their class due to the innate flame attribute that allowed him much over flame techniques compared to any mage in their class. 

Because of this, he was able to unleash more destructive power compared to his peers that can use fire attacks. 

And if one looked at the ability score alone, he was among one of the best of the best in the entire entirely due to the destructiveness of his flame techniques. 

Due to this, over time, he gained confidence and was able to triumph over his classmates, coupled with the fact that he was the son of the director of the ministry of education in the eastern district, no one was able to go against him. 

If someone who did not know him, confront him out of spite or being treated wrongly by him, they all end up being beaten with their skin burned badly, however, the school never really reprimand due to the fact they encourage challenges between students to ensure that they improve themselves or gain a reason to improve themselves. 

Nevertheless, Jeremiah had taken advantage of this policy, and oppressed so many talented individuals in the school, causing some to not be able to raise their heads in the academy. 

However, he enjoyed beating the poor and inept students who had no decent ability to speak of the most. 

And one of the people that he enjoyed beating and hated the most was Randy, who came from a decent family but had no ability, unlike those poor students who had defective abilities. 

What was worse, he was a childhood friend of one of the popular students with high prospects in the academy. 

This was obviously Emilia, whom he wanted to have as his girlfriend when he noticed her prominence in the entire school.

In reality, he never really cared about her in terms of romantic feelings, it was only because of her talents and also because she was always with that loser who had no awakened ability that he decided to approach her.

However, as she was always with Randy, this thus prevented him from making any progress with Emilia no matter how many resources or opportunities that he had promised to offer to her.

However lately, she had been avoiding that loser and at that time, he thought that she was finally done with him, and yet she still refused his offers, nonetheless.

This caused him to be furious as he was someone who had everything that he wanted, whether it was women or anything else that these poor students could only dream of, and yet he had been refused so many times already by this woman. 

He was so exasperated, and he wanted to release his anger on someone; he could not do anything to Emilia since the academy had high expectations for her thus their eyes were on her well-being.

And so, Randy was the perfect person to release his anger on since Emilia used to spend her time with him all the time. 

Whenever he thought of those times, he felt more infuriated and so, he had his goons capture him that day to beat him up to release his pent-up anger. 

Although that was not the first time that they had beaten him up, that day especially, they went too far their beatings and even tortured him by breaking his bones and even burning his face.

And then the following week, he found out that Randy had awakened his innate ability, he was shocked at that time, especially when Randy displayed his ability by knocking out Gu Yang with one punch.

Ever since yesterday, he had been stressed out thinking of ways to prevent Randy's revenge and after much deliberation, he could on think of hiring someone to deal with him without his father's notice, but that was only at the last resort. 

That was because since the academy wanted them to display their ability in front of their classmates, he would use this chance to show Randy the difference in their strength and hopefully shatter any hope of his when he ever thinks of taking revenge against him.

After all, Randy had never come to these practical training sessions, and thus he had not fully seen his all-out attack just yet, so today would be the day that he would show him.
