Beast Taming? Nah, Dragon Herding is Way Better!-Chapter 110: Popping Like Bubble

'Don't let them show any more disrespect, show them the authority of the Ruler of the Draconic Realm'

[Don't let them show any more disrespect, show them the authority of the Ruler of the Draconic Realm, My emperor]

Seeing the floating gray screen appearing with the very same message as the one that surfaces on his mind, Diluc smiles as he thought that this is just all the more reason for him to see through this decision of his, albeit having some sort of doubts as to why the system will call him like that.

Despite all that though, he decided to deal with the matter at hand, now directing his attention towards the weird, pure white light of an attack that is approaching his direction, his gaze piercing through the amalgamation of magic created by his fellow freshmen, and now that he managed to take a proper look into it, his gaze now holds nothing but sheer fascination towards whatever this phenomenon is, making him wonder just what sort of coincidences happened that created this thing.

'It's almost like it's mana in its pure form…'

In his amazement, the emperor-like young man fails to notice the fact that while he is completely absorbed in observing and possibly even analyzing this bright white light, his competitors can also still observe him as well, and while they thought that the expression that he will display in this moment is the fear of being eliminated too early in the trials for those who wants to enter that class, they never expected that they will see that kind of expression from everyone but him.

Snapping out of his fascinated daze as he feels like the attack is getting too close, Diluc then decided to show them something that will ward them off once and for all, something that might possibly scare even those from spires rising far higher than where he and the ones attacking him currently are.

Raising one of his hands nonchalantly as the attack approaches, fire elemental mana starts dancing around his palm, not in the excited, volatile way that often depicts the natural state of fire, but rather in a graceful, consistent and fiery calm not different to that of a candle light unendingly burning through the fuel in it.

As the surge of mana starts growing more and more, this gentle flame starts burning even brighter than before, engulfing the torrential flow of fire elemental mana, voraciously devouring to feed itself, the flame endlessly growing seemingly without any limits.

With the flame in his hands burning like that, it is only of logic to assume that anything near whatever it is that the emperor-like young man is trying to create, and just as much as they want to see that happening, Diluc himself seems to just exist to defy the logic that they established ever since they are able to utilize mana themselves, almost as if his sole purpose of existence is to mock them of their knowledge, making them hostile, yet all too envious of him.

Meanwhile, the object of envy himself has his sole focus on whatever it is that he is trying to do, completely undisturbed by the fact that just hovering above one of his hands, is a congregation of mana that appears to be even more terrifying than the attack just a couple of meters in front of him, the violent nature of the fire elemental attribute of the mana seemingly burning itself into oblivion as he feels not a single trace of discomfort at all, and all that is left is a comfortable warmth that hits way too close home.

"This should do the trick…"

The emperor-like young man mutters to himself as he nodded in satisfaction to the condensation of fire elemental mana in his hand, all while gently pushing it away and towards the bright ball of white light now just a bit shy in arm's length of him, making everyone watching hanging on tenterhooks.

The suspense is bound to explode in a short time though as the two awe inducing magic starts to collide, and not a single one of them can certainly say that they expect a kind of outcome like the following sequence of events to happen, the only exception to that a particular beauty watching from a specific room, the white hair cascading her ethereal beauty further complimenting the ephemeral smile of utter amazement seen by no one at all, a smile that she just realized she's making after the unfolding of the events that just happened.

In the blink of an eye, the two mass of mana, seemingly rather pure than elemental, collides with each other with such gentleness that everyone wonders whether this is really a fight of something else, some of the people watching having their eyes widen in anticipation for what is about to come next.

There is, however, nothing that comes next to it, as the two spells clearly out of anything ordinary merges into one, and in complete comparison to how amazingly the two of them were conceived, they go out without even a single fizzle to them, not even a short burst of grandiose explosion that anyone will expect from spells of that magnitude as the spell, the moment that they merged with each other, pops out like bubbles and just disappears into thin air, almost as if they were never there to begin with.

"What… the fuck is that?"

"What did just happen?"

"I… I don't think that should happen…"

Watching dumbfoundedly as they try to wrap their head around the thing that just happened, their minds trying to find a plausible reason for the clash between those two spells to happen like that, the older students mutter among themselves as even the greatest of talents among them, whether they are martial artists or mages, just fails to comprehend what just comes to pass as well.

It is to no surprise however, as not even a significant number of the more knowledgeable and experience spectators, the academy staffs along with some of the instructors, are aware of what happened as well, and among the few who have idea as to what just proceeds between the spell created by the emperor-like young man and the amalgamation of mana that seems to be coincidentally created by his competitors, the numbers of the people who completely understands the phenomena can be count by the hands.

If there is anything that made it all the more terrifying to those who are aware of what actually happened however, it is the fact that they can see nothing, not a single trace of a magic circle being conjured by the emperor-like young man in order to create a spell that requires such a high, even borderline absolute degree of control over the surrounding mana.

This makes it so that the sole person who can say that they completely comprehended the thing everyone just witnessed is the strongest person not only within the arena but also the entire Flammenherz Kingdom, and all the other neighboring domains around it.

'That kid… he didn't show that kind of talent when we fought in the last trial…' the principal said with a interest glowing brightly underneath her eyes, making her appear like a child who just saw a new, interesting toy for her to play with.

'But then again, that look on his face when he observed that harmonic complement…' as she recalls the fascinated look on Diluc's face the moment he first really take a look into the white ball of light, Aria made herself pretty sure that this is the first time that the young man saw something like that, as the mixture of curiosity and excitement is the very same one she will often shows whenever she is on her way to discover all sorts of things related to magic, martial arts, and even more so mana itself in general.

Meanwhile, as the observers of the event that just transpires are still dumbfounded, the young man who is singlehandedly responsible for the expression everyone currently has curtly smiles as he looks at the frozen opponents, nodding to himself as he realizes that this might really be the most effective way to make them bend instead of them hanging around him like flies.

'I initially thought that I should probably stop myself from drawing all too much attention for myself this early but…'

Thinking to himself how he should deal with things in the future, he realizes that there is no more sense in being too discrete with his movements now.

'And now that some of my pops and mum's old enemies are aware of my existence now as well… I should probably go as big as I can to get a good support…'

As Diluc thought about that, the first face that appears in his mind is that violent, petite principal who seems to look way too strong for her physique, a choice that he really wouldn't like to choose despite possibly being the best support he can possibly have.
