I created my own system

The crowd gave different reactions some disagreed while some were okay with it, however, the decision wasn\'t on them but on the vice headmaster\'s decision.

"Apollo what do you think, do you still want to continue?"

He looked at me and asked instead of making an immediate decision.

"I don\'t really mind vice headmaster"

I also wanted to see what was the power I am seeing right now.

"It is strange that I can\'t scan it and even you Jeremiah"

[It also confuses me, I already went through multiple upgrades and was supposed to be more capable but right now I can\'t even scan an unknown energy inside a boy]

"Calm down we will find out what power he is hiding"

With my answer, the vice headmaster looked at Ren and said "With Apollo\'s consent this match will continue"

My opponent looked at me and I could see how glad he was that I agreed.

"I wonder what\'s running inside his head"

[Should I scan it?]

"Nah it\'s okay"

While the crowd cheers and my head goes wild with theories about Ren\'s mysterious power my ears suddenly hear one of the screams of Eastern students.

"Show him some flames!"

"Go Ren! Bring in the power of your kingdom!"

Flames, Kingdom of Qin and a fighter, somehow I could only think of one thing.

"Yuan"

I can\'t help but say, the only thing I know about that place is him, only him and the sacrifice he made. Then while my mind remembers that person I suddenly felt a sudden rise in temperature.

"It\'s hot" I can\'t help but say while Jeremiah\'s warning flashes in front of my eyes.

And then before I knew it a fist was already right in front of me, aiming at my face.

"What a nice speed"

Despite me being distracted my senses kept track of my opponent, and so once he moved my mind formulated an image of the spell I needed.

Once his fist reached a certain distance, my body moved and dodged his punch.

Then when all random thoughts were gone I was able to fully see Ren\'s new appearance. Strangely his form is quite similar when Yuan and the Guardian merge together, though his appearance is a bit inferior.

It was a body embodying the form of fire, however unlike Yuan who had a pair of beautiful flaming wings Ren doesn\'t have any.

"You are really fast"

Ren spoke to me and I can tell he is determined to have at least a one hit in.

Flames suddenly burst while his body shifted its form.

A kick, I read and so I position my body to counter it sensing the direction it would land.

His left foot was forward signalling that he is about to form his strike. Then he finally does, Ren lifted his knee towards his chest, rotating the hip slightly outward, and pivoting on the supporting foot allowing the kicking leg to follow through, his aim was my mid section.

It was a roundhouse kick, not just a random kick, his earlier stance was once again deceiving for me. And so as the kick was approaching me I decided to lean back and make a counter kick after he executed his, however as my body leaned back, my opponent made a sudden change.

Ren adjusts mid-motion and seamlessly changes the trajectory of the kick. Instead of landing straight on, the kick alters course, transforming into a spinning hook kick aimed at my head. He extended his foot to reach me and almost hit my face as I increased my speed to dodge it.

"Damn it"

I couldn\'t help but say when I felt the burning flames of that kick. Even though I successfully dodged that but it wasn\'t enough to escape the heat. I felt like my skin was peeling off. Despite the barrier I have it didn\'t even help lessen the pain I just experienced.

Definitely, it\'s Yuan and the Guardian, it might be weak but it\'s the same.

"Ah, was this the other half I didn\'t get right? So the student representatives of Eastern Academy are related to the people we possess in the exam. You arranged all that to distract me, or was it something else?"

I thought, while I took the chance to attack right after the spinning hook kick was launched, I lifted my foot made a front kick and hit Ren\'s midsection. However, I kind of regretted it afterwards. As soon as my foot landed on my opponent\'s body a scorching heat touched me.

"Jeremiah I thought you had put a reinforced barrier around me"

[I did but it seems the flames are increasing their temperature every second]

"Now I think I need to get serious"

I took my foot back while I dodged another strike from Ren. As he was about to draw his fist to create an opening my mana suddenly burst making him switch from offence to defence.

Mana coated my body though I am not an expert when it comes to using it and my ki for combat, especially in close range, but I think I can still handle this.

"Are you finally taking me seriously"

Witnessing a blue ocean-like energy covering me Ren began to ask. Though his words made me chuckle, "Student Ren, believe me, you wouldn\'t want to see me get serious"

"Is that a challenge?"

"No, but a warning"

I then stepped forward which created a huge dent on the smooth surface of the fighting arena.

My speed was far too fast for Ren to follow.

I could see his expression he was surprised so with no other option he used his ki to boost the power of his flames, using it to sense which direction I was heading.

"Hey up here"

I said making Ren look up, "That was a joke I am actually right in front of you"

With my words deceiving him he immediately looked at me while his fist was about to make a counter, however, I was faster. My fist powered by my mana landed on my opponent\'s face who just adjusted his head from looking up. With the accumulated power I released Ren was sent flying out of the fighting arena.

"I hope he doesn\'t get up"

[If you want him not to get up,why didn\'t you just cast a sleeping spell on him, he won\'t be able to wake up even after a day has passed]

"Because Jeremiah that would ruin the fun"
