Is that a Wisp?

1246 Mental Energy’s True Source

"…"

The students looked at him, stupefied. Upon seeing his imposing entry, they thought he would say something inspiring, something that would make their blood boil, something that would fire up their fighting spirits.

But in actuality, all he said was a bunch of useless words.

Seeing their reactions, Krune laughed. "In any case, that's all we ever need."

After saying his piece, he returned to his original spot. The headmaster gazed at his back, smiling in response as he nodded in praise.

He then announced, "Alright, we'll leave everything to you now. Once your teams are formed, inform the administration department by evening."

"Liu Heng…" A boy in his teens approached, cupping his fists as he introduced himself. "It's a pleasure to meet you again."

"The pleasure's all mine." Krune cupped in response, noticing that the other party was a part of royalty.

"Do you have anyone in mind to make a team with?" the boy asked.

"I only know two people here, to be frank with you," Krune said in response, laughing. "So, I'm waiting for them to arrive first before we can discuss our teams."

"Are you waiting for Wang Hao and Chen Xue?" the boy asked, looking around before whispering, "For some reason, they had been invited to the Imperial Palace. So, they won't be returning anytime soon. Plus, I don't even know if they would form teams with anyone here."

"I didn't know that." Krune shook his head before extending his hand towards him. "Then, let's form a team."

"Do you have anyone else in mind?" The boy smiled, pleased that he was included in Krune's team.

"I'm planning to make a mobile unit," Krune replied. "So, having people that can fly would be for the best."

"There's only me among the second years that can fly, though." The boy smiled wryly in response. "From what I know, only the County Arms of the Imperial Family are capable of flight."

"Well yeah. That's because I've also infused the Star Imperial Arms' ability of gravity in them. So, no other County Arms has the ability of flight." Krune nodded. "However, that doesn't matter. I'll figure out a way to create a flying unit."

"Liu Heng!" Sometime later, another boy approached him, condensing a sword as he pointed it at him, shouting, "Fight me!"

"Why do you want to fight me?" Krune asked in surprise.

"I want to see how strong you are," the boy replied.

Upon seeing that the other party didn't have any killing intent in him, only sporting eyes of curiosity, Krune nodded, summoning his Star Hammer. "Alright!"

Bang!

The moment he summoned his Star Hammer, his opponent charged at him, causing his sword to glow red, emitting a lot of heat. Though, Krune didn't meet him head-on, slamming his hammer into the ground while increasing its weight by varying its gravity.

Followed by a resounding boom, a dust cloud was raised, blanketing them when Krune rushed towards the other party, arriving behind him to hit his neck, knocking him unconscious.

When the dust cloud cleared up, the figure of a boy lying in a large crater appeared, shocking everyone. After all, the boy that had challenged him was pretty famed for his strength.

'Might as well train everyone,' Krune thought before shouting, "Remember this. Even if you possess County Arms, you're still humans. So, even a regular, experienced soldier can defeat you. Only by improving your skill would you be able to harness your power to its full extent."

"Now, everyone. Come at me!" He smirked.

"What…?"

"This bastard!"

"He's underestimating us…"

Krune's blatant provocation surprisingly angered a lot of students. A short-tempered boy was the first to charge at him, taking out a fan that unleashed a sea of flames around it.

However, a faint gust of wind flowed as Krune's figure appeared before the boy, grabbing hold of his hand to lift it up, causing the flames from the fan to spew into the sky.

"Damn it!" The boy was shocked when Krune's punched him in the stomach, causing him to slump to the ground, the wind in his lungs quickly getting knocked out.

A girl then summoned her chakram, causing it to spin violently in the air, emanating a suffocating amount of chillness, hurling it at Krune. It then swerved through the air, arcing around a couple of students, intending to hit Krune.

Unfortunately, another boy, in his hurry to attack Krune, had stepped into the line of fire of the chakram, looking like he would be killed by the attack.

"Ugh!" Krune grunted, slamming his hands onto the sides of the chakram, causing the air currents he produced to hinder the chakram, beginning to slow it down as his hands clamped over it, throwing it high up in the air.

Flustered, the girl retracted her chakrams, patting her chest as she began to sweat, thanking Krune for stepping in. Otherwise, that boy would have died.

As for the person in question, he had broken out into cold sweat. But before the thought fully registered in his mind, he was knocked out by Krune that went around hitting everyone in his range.

He only attacked them using hand-to-hand combat, using his Star Hammer to disrupt the flow of the battle by raising up dust clouds from time to time.

"Gah!"

"What happened?"

"Uwhyak…!"

"Uwak!"

The students screamed one after another as they were attacked under the cover of the dust cloud, falling to the ground one after another, knocked unconscious.

Staring from afar, gazing at the chaotic battle, the headmaster's eyes were brimming in joy. "To think Liu Heng's this strong."

"Get him!"

"Attack!"

"He only has two hands. Bind them first!" The students, although chaotic due to their inexperience, surprisingly managed to form some groups to target him.

Soon, they attacked from all sides with the power of their County Arms. Some were targeted at him, while some failed to target him, seeming like the fellow students would become collateral damage. Krune quickly deflected both, ensuring that there were no casualties.

A normal battle where he just killed all his enemies would have been way easier as even Krune, with his tremendous experience, was feeling difficulty in the task.

One man against an army, the thoughts of everyone synchronizing with the same task. As Krune continued to fight them, multitasking, his head began to hurt, suddenly causing his body to spasm mildly as his eyes turned red while a thin line of blood leaked out of his nose.

However, he was unaware, engrossed in the epiphany where the world around him had turned incomparably sharp, feeling the mental states of everyone around him.

Unexpectedly, he had unlocked Mental Energy!
