Everyone was stunned by the sight. The guy might've been arrogant and foolish, but he was still an intermediate mage.
The other nine students from Florencia University adopted cautious battle stances.
Ben grinned and started bouncing like a boxer, waiting for their attacks.
One guy rushed at Ben, throwing two punches in quick succession. Ben swayed left and right, dodging the blows with ease.
He countered with a kick that sent the guy flying. He thought it'd knock him out of the arena, but a wall of earth shot up behind the kid, blocking his exit.
A fierce gust of wind suddenly lifted Ben off the ground, hoisting him several meters into the air.
A spear of fire followed, striking him mid-flight. Ben gritted his teeth as he felt the heat and cursed himself for realizing he couldn't pull off the same stunts as the Dragon Raider.
He spun through the air and landed on the ground with relative calm. Part of his chest was scorched, but it healed quickly, leaving his skin untouched.
