Inhuman Warlock Chapter 211 - 211: Day Out

Chapter 211 - 211: Day Out

Lucifer soon reached Morbius, who had just dodged another attack by Ca.s.sius.

As Lucifer was close to Morbius, Ca.s.sius stopped his attacks and let Lucifer have some fun too.

And thus began a hard hand-to-hand battle between Morbius and Lucifer. While Morbius used all his knowledge and his skills, Lucifer used his strength and his understanding of defensive techniques.

He kept attacking while stopping the attacks of Morbius.

Just like Lucifer had super strength as his gift, Morbius had his defense which was keeping him safe despite taking all the attacks. Morbius was known as a Tank amongst his colleagues, after all.

"Five minutes are over! Stop!" Alexi suddenly said as he stood up. He stopped the fight just when it looked like Morbius was about to get serious.

Morbius glanced back at Alexi, understanding why he did that. There were still thirty seconds left in five minutes, but Alexi lied that five minutes were over.

He understood that Alexi was worried about him hurting the kids now that he was starting to get serious.

He didn't say anything and simply nodded.

"Alex and Ca.s.sius. You both did well. Let's see the scores you get," Morbius said, calming himself.

The first to speak was Yovann.

"Ca.s.sius, your gift is really powerful, and when you create distance from the enemy, it's really hard to take you down. Your offense is your defense in that case, and it worked well in this instance. Five points from me."

"As for Alex, it's much harder to defend yourself when you're in close proximity of the enemy, but you didn't get hit even once. Even I'm surprised at this. Your self-awareness and your quick thinking, both are pretty good. You put on a good display. Five points to you too."

Yovann praised both the youngsters before he gave his scores.

"Ca.s.sius, I think you were at risk at the beginning, and if it weren't for Alex, you would be in a pickle since Morbius had closed in on you. My advice is to always maintain your distance, even if it's the start. Just for your negligence at the start, I'll give you four points."

"And Alex, I can't say anything about what you did was wrong. If it's on technical grounds, you would've gotten a perfect five. Unfortunately, that's not the case as I noticed something else too."

"When your enemy was far away from you, and Ca.s.sius was keeping him at a distance, you unnecessarily ran up to the enemy and got in his close proximity, even blocking your partner because of that."

" That's reckless and not something a person who wants to keep himself safe would do. I'm sorry, but I'll give you two points only, just for that."

The disappointment was evident on Mirali's face as she gave Lucifer the score.

Next was Franci's turn.

"I agree with Mirali. What Alex did was reckless, but then again, I'll only give him points on technical grounds, and his defense was perfect. So five points from me too," Franci said, which brought a smile to Lucifer's face, which was gone after Mirali's verdict.

He s.h.i.+fted his glance at Ca.s.sius as he continued, "As for Ca.s.sius, I didn't see much of you other than attacks, but yeah, you should've been more careful at the start. Four points from me too."

"You can go back now," Morbius told the two friends who walked back.

"I'm sorry for going off my own and blocking your attacks," Lucifer apologized to Ca.s.sius as he stood back at his position.

"Hey, why are you sorry? You did really well. He would just keep dodging my attack like that. You did nothing wrong. In fact, you actually managed to land a few punches on him. So that's good," Ca.s.sius answered, smiling.

"Next, Dash and Dray!" Morbius invited.

Two more people stepped forward, Dash and Dray.

Soon the battle began as the two youngsters attacked Morbius like before. While Dray fought in close proximity like Lucifer had done in the last match, Dash remained in the sky as he used his wind while attacking.

Unfortunately, Dray wasn't Lucifer. He couldn't keep up as he found himself lying on the ground, unconscious within the first minute of the battle itself.

It seems like Morbius had really become serious this time.

He glanced up to where Dash was flying only fifteen feet above the ground.

Morbius ran in the direction of Dash before he made a jump. He jumped so high that even Dash was shocked.

He hadn't expected Morbius to jump so high. Before he knew it, his leg was caught by Morbius, who kept hitting Dash.

It didn't take long before Dash also started falling. He soon landed on the ground, lying under the feet of Morbius.

Standing in the distance, Lucifer and Ca.s.sius were amazed. Why did it seem like the Morbius they faced, and the Morbius that Dash faced were two different people? Morbius was really good now?

They couldn't help but wonder if Morbius had gone easy on them.

Two minutes. All it took was two minutes before the battle was over.

Dray was still unconscious, but Dash was still up. He managed to stand up after it was announced that the battle was over.

'I really failed! I failed the exams. This shouldn't have happened. What will I do now?' Dash thought as his head started aching. He knew he failed.

"Alright. No need for scores. As you both fell to the ground, you both failed this test. But since you pa.s.sed the first two tests, you still pa.s.s the overall exams. You won't get any points in the third test, though. You can go back," Morbius told Dash.

He looked at Venton as he continued, "Venton, take him to the nurse's office. I still have to continue the test."

Venton stood up and walked to the arena before he took Dray with him.

"Next Rune and Ren. Step forward," Morbius called out.

...

"It looks like the first battle really brought the serious Morbius out. It sucks to be in those kids' places," Yovann said, sighing.

"At least he's still controlling himself and not hurting them seriously. So it's fine," Mirali chimed in.

...

Rune and Ren also started fighting, but the result seemed slightly similar. Rune was lying on the ground unconscious within the first minute itself. As for Ren, he was alert, so he kept dodging the attacks.

Even then, he couldn't last five minutes as he found himself under Morbius's feet within the fourth minute itself.

"You two also failed. You can go back," Morbius said calmly as he picked up Rune.

"The final results of the third year exams are clear by now, I suppose? Alex is first. Ca.s.sius is second and..."

Morbius quickly announced the results before he left with Rune to take him to nurse himself.

"You can leave. The fourth year cla.s.ses will start tomorrow. Be on time," Franci told the youngsters as he also started leaving.

"Ah, teacher, wait! I can't come tomorrow. I'm using the privilege of the ring to go out tomorrow with my grandfather. I really can't come," Lucifer suddenly called out, stopping Franci.

'He's going out tomorrow?' Dash thought as a glint appeared in his eyes at this news. It was an excellent opportunity.

"It's alright. You can come the day after tomorrow. We can at least do that much for you since it's not against the rules. You can leave tomorrow," Franci answered Lucifer.

"But remember, you must return to the campus before midnight. If you're late, it'll count as you breaking a rule. You only have two strikes left, so be careful," he further reminded Lucifer.

"I'll be careful. Thanks, teacher," Lucifer said excitedly. He was really happy that he was going to spend time outside with his Grandfather tomorrow. It was going to be such a happy day. He couldn't help but look forward to it.

"That's better," Franci nodded as he left. Mirali and the others also went with him, leaving only Yovann behind.
