Bang!
Moss’s shield and Bishop’s sword collided again. The mighty and heavy sword caused the platform beneath Moss’s feet to sink by one and a half feet. Even so, Moss did not even falter.
Even more exaggerated was that the existing cracks on his shield remained unchanged.
“H-How is this possible?!” Bishop saw it even more clearly since he was closest to Moss. Moss’s shield did not change, and he did not retreat.
Bishop was utterly shocked as he looked at Moss, who looked unaffected. He could not figure out what had happened even after thinking for a long time.
He used 80% of his strength and made a dent in the ring, which was made with unique materials, but his attack did not affect Moss.
‘Does this kid know how to change his attack skills? No, how could a knight know spatial skills?! He can’t reach such levels even if it were spatial skills!’ Bishop revealed an excited smile with that thought in mind.
His sudden shock and surprise caused him to stop attacking.
On the one hand, the timer had reached 15 minutes. Even if it were not time, Bishop knew there was no need to continue fighting. With this skill level, he could not defeat Moss in another 15 minutes.
The first-year students were also shocked when they saw the unbelievable scene.
“W-What’s going on?!” Charlie could not believe his eyes. His mouth was wide open as he stood rooted to the ground.
“Moss is so handsome!” Lila could not help but shout.
Noel was shocked and looked at Moss in astonishment. He forgot about the awkwardness, saying, “No wonder he dared to challenge Captain Bishop. It seems the gap between Moss and me is not small.”
Meanwhile, Nat, whose eyes were full of caution, muttered with admiration, “M-Moss is so handsome. He’s indeed worthy of everyone’s admiration.”
The five professors who had not seen Moss’s prior performances were shocked by what had just happened.
“Moss is truly capable. I thought he was not calm enough just now. This incredible performance came too quickly!”
“His defensive ability is scarce, even among university students!”
…
Cubert, the Combat Strength Academy’s professor, heard the other professors’ praises and said with puzzlement, “Do you guys think Moss’s skill resembled Absolute Defense? But it didn’t look exactly like it.”
Xiazo, the Strategy Academy’s professor, looked at the dent in the ring and asked thoughtfully, “I think so too, but how do you explain the dent in the ring?”
Brady did not say anything. His gaze never left Moss as he nodded in satisfaction from time to time. However, waves of emotion arose in his heart, ‘Moss has outstanding talent. I’ve only told him a few times that he can combine his spiritual power with his skills organically, and he has already learned how to use it. That’s amazing.’
Brady was thrilled because Moss had given him another big surprise. At the same time, he felt fortunate to be able to teach Moss.
Sofia, who stood beside Brady, also felt fortunate that she had recruited Moss into Kyoto. Otherwise, it would be a tremendous loss for Kyoto if he attended a different college.
Everyone on the training ground was more or less shocked, and Moss was no exception because of the dent in the ring under his feet.
Before using Absolute Defense, he thought of Brady’s words. He deliberately increased his spiritual power and tried using it to influence Bishop’s power. However, he learned that his spiritual power was not potent enough to control his opponent’s strength and energy.
Therefore, Moss subconsciously transferred this power along with the momentum and created the scene just now.
‘If my spiritual power is potent enough, I can control the transmission’s direction. Is this the effective combination of spiritual power and skills Professor Brady talked about? The effects are extraordinary!’
With those thoughts in mind, Moss became excited because he thought of the novel he had read in his past life in which the Murong family said, “Return the favor!”
A smile inadvertently appeared on Moss’s face when he thought of that. At this moment, Bishop’s voice sounded beside Moss, “You’re awesome, Moss!”
His eyes were full of joy as he gave Moss an enthusiastic thumbs up. He could not hide his excitement. Although he only said three words, they were enough to cause Moss’s heart to ripple with joy.
Obtaining Bishop’s approval was not an easy feat. Moreover, it meant more people would acknowledge him as a knight from this moment on.
No one would take these words seriously if they did not come from Bishop, but since he said them, they would make headlines at Kyoto Institute.
The other four first-year students had yet to recover from their shock, but they were shocked again when they heard Bishop saying, “You’re awesome, Moss!”
Bishop patted Moss’s shoulder and looked at the other four first-year students. He smiled, clapped, and said, “Welcome to the team, you guys! We will have an easier time defending our title with you four!”
“Woo!” Waves of cheers and applause sounded from the second-year students’ small camp, “Welcome to the reserve team!”
After witnessing their juniors’ brilliant performances, the seniors put aside their previous contempt and arrogance. Instead, they were excited and recognized their juniors as their own.
Just as the training ground was in a state of peace, the system sounded in Moss’s mind, “Congratulations! You have fought a formidable opponent and organically combined your spiritual power and skills. Your 1000 Defenses have increased to 40%!”
Indeed, Moss felt excited when he heard the system’s notification, especially about the increase in his 1000 Defenses.
‘It seems I must continue combining my spiritual power with my skills. The key to this is to raise my spiritual power indefinitely,’ with that thought in mind, Moss gazed at Brady.
If he had no one else, he could turn to Bradu and share his experiences from the battle just now.
