nEvan wasn't expecting such a move from Zak, so he missed the punch and flew back a few meters.

nSigh. Sigh. Sigh.

nEvan was covered in dust and breathing heavily. Zak`s blow was monstrously strong. He was in great pain and spit out a clot of blood. He could have easily endured it, but his weak body couldn`t. His organs were nearly crushed, and the bleeding didn`t stop.

n

"Mr. Zak, it`s too much. Mr. Evan's body is not yet capable of withstanding such a force.

"

nMargaret rose from her seat, opened the basket, and took out a small, round pill. The girl walked over to Evan and said slowly:

"Mr. Evan, it`ll cure your wounds in a few minutes.

"

nThe young man didn't hear her at all. His head was buzzing and his eyes were blurry. He took the green pill from Margaret's hands with the last of his strength and swallowed it quickly.

nZak was standing calmly and looking at Evan, who was almost dying. He was not worried about anything, because he had been prepared for this from the start. This was also the reason why Margaret was there with all the different pills.

nYou could get such drugs only if you had a lot of money and necessarily connections. Without all these, you could never get something like that at least not in the Mossy Vulture.

nHonestly, Zak was one hundred percent sure Evan would win the sparring match in a month. He had seen with his own eyes Evan's mana condensation rate in

"Void Liquid

". And he had it much faster than the average magician with the purple

"Warp

".

nZak didn't really need to load Evan with such physical activity because of the battle that was coming up in a month. However, Zak had his own purpose that he hadn't told Evan about yet. His plan had to do with the Academy of Magic, but it was too early to tell Evan about it.

nZak was going to squeeze all the juice out that lad. He wanted Evan to get as strong as he could in those two months.

n...

n

nTen minutes later, Evan's wounds were almost completely healed, there was no trace of them.

nEvan was shocked at the effectiveness of one small, green pill. As soon as he swallowed it, he felt more pain, which came from the emergency healing of his wounds.

nAfter about seven minutes, however, he relaxed. The pain was over and only a pleasant feeling remained.

nEvan quickly rose from the ground, shook off the dust and said:

"Shall we continue?

"

nZak smirked and extended his right hand forward, moving his palm back and forth. Evan understood him, and in one sharp jerk, he got to the commander.

nWhoosh.

nEvan decided that he wouldn't make such a stupid mistake again, and for once, he could strike and damage Zak. The young man attacked with his sword from bottom to top, aiming at his opponent's chest.

nZak reacted instantly, and dodged back two steps to his right. He kicked Evan in the stomach. However, the young man merely repeated Zak's movements and took two steps to avoid the blow.

nWhoosh.

nBut just when Evan thought he had succeeded in outsmarting Zak he saw the sword blade hurtling straight at his head. He had almost no time left to save his life. He mechanically crouched down and barely avoided the razor-sharp sword that flew right over his head.

nEvan counted himself lucky, for this attack really could have killed him.

nBam.

nSuddenly he felt a terrible pain in his stomach area.

nAs Evan dodged the sword thrown at him, Zack quickly rushed to the young man and kicked Evan in the stomach with force. Such a powerful attack sent Evan flying into the air, but that wasn't enough for Zak.

nWhoosh.

nHe grabbed Evan's leg and threw him sideways with a U-turn, dooming him to get multiple bruises all over his body.

n

"Fuck!

" Evan had already run out of his strength, and it wasn't because of the horrible pain he felt. It was because of Zak, as he had a counterweight for every Evan`s move. At first, Evan had thought he could dodge and get used to Zak's moves, but finally, he had been beaten like the last weakling.

nIn his past life he had been the strongest dark magician. Now he was simply overwhelmed by physical strength and skills. A lot of feelings raged inside Evan, but after a while he calmed down.

n

nEvan was full of fighting spirit, and, at some point, it appeared thanks to Zak's unprincipled rigidity.

nHe didn't spare Evan at all and it paid off.

nWith difficulty, Evan stood up to see Margaret beside him. She was standing near him, holding another pill.

nThe young man quickly shoved it into his mouth and attacked Zak.

nPunch. Punch. Punch.

nEvan attacked Zak many times, but each his lunge was calculated. He made only accurate and necessary strikes, without forgetting to defend himself.

n

"You're a fast learner.

" Zak commented it, and then punched Evan in the side for the third time.

n Evan had been ready for it.

nSo instead of doing a roll like last time, he took a step back and jumped up, avoiding Zak's fist and the leg kick he'd used last time.

n

"Not bad.

" Zak said dryly, then instantly stepped forward and tried to hit Evan with his forehead.

nWhoosh.

nZak's eyes went wide at what he saw. He stared at Evan's cold and hard gaze. At that moment, Zak realized that the young man was ready even for such a crazy development.

nEvan's amethyst eyes stared at Zak coldly, and there was a clear murderous intent coming from the young man himself.

nWhoosh.

nEvan's palm was headed for Zak`s throat, intent on piercing him like a sharp blade. It almost reached his neck, a half breath later, his throat would have been pierced and Zak would have died.

nBut, suddenly, Zak was a blur, and his legs were covered in crimson flames.

nWhoosh.

nWith incredible speed, Zak dodged Evan's blow, and after making a three hundred and sixty-degree turn, struck Evan with a lightning strike.

nIt may have seemed like a long time, but in fact, not even a second passed after Evan jumped.

nFrom such a crushing blow, Evan flew backwards like a bullet.

nWhoosh.

nZak quickly rushed after him. He overtook the flying Evan and caught him carefully.

nWhen Margaret reached them, she saw a frightening sight. Evan's entire chest was bruised, and there was a huge, lacerated wound in the middle of his stomach. The young man was unconscious and barely breathing.

n

"Now I`ve really overdone, but what kind of a crazy guy he is! He could really kill me right now.

"

nWhile Zak was muttering something, Margaret quickly opened the basket and pulled out a blood-red pill.

n

"Mr. Zak.

" The girl held him out the medicine.

n

"Are you really sure?

" He asked seriously and looked at her.

nMargaret only nodded slightly in response.
