596: Unhard.
Bodhi ca to a stop, bending lightly and placing his sword in front of him, after observing Alec’s lackluster attitude and minimal movent, Bodhi suspected that Alec refrained from moving to prevent exacerbating a critical internal injury he had incurred when he faced Omar.
However, his suspicions didn’t end there, as from the mont he had released his Qi-infused slashes, Bodhi had noticed that Alec restricted his movent to the bare minimum, only mobilizing his hands when necessary for spellcasting.
With this observation in mind, Bodhi decided to test his theory that Alec had beco completely ineffective in close combat situations.
This curiosity drove Bodhi to close the distance between himself and Alec, wanting to challenge Alec’s capabilities in close-quarters combat.
As it seed suspicious to Bodhi that soone like Alec, who has now beco known for his proficiency in close combat, suddenly resorted to attacking from a long range.
So in order to put his theory to the test, Bodhi pressed forward.
Alec, noticing Bodhi’s approach, extended his right hand and swatted his fingers, causing smaller rocks to uproot from the ground and hurtle towards Bodhi.
Despite the fast-moving debris, Bodhi deftly maneuvered around them, continuing his advance toward Alec.
However, just before Bodhi entered Alec’s force field area of control, he heard a cautionary voice in his mind.
“Don’t approach him, you would have to test a long-distance spell on him and don’t worry about mana consumption,” the monk’s voice echoed in Bodhi’s mind.
The monk had already discerned Bodhi’s thoughts as he observed the way Bodhi moved towards Alec.
Uncertain of whether Alec was rely putting on a show or genuinely suffering from serious internal injuries, the monk wished to avoid Bodhi making any unnecessary movents that might worsen his situation.
However, the monk was certain that Alec posed imnse danger within a certain range.
As mages who had developed their elental affinity had possessed a domain ability before even being able to evolve their affinity, and that allowed them to effortlessly manifest spells within the range of their domain.
While Alec on the other hand appeared to have developed a force field, and the monk understood that against other Tier 5 mages, there were likely only a few who would stand a chance against him.
Within his force field, it would be challenging to even approach Alec, given that his earth elent manipulation had awakened two sub-control abilities, gravity and sand.
The monk doubted Bodhi would be able to handle these powers at close range, as he believed Bodhi would be overwheld before he could even get near Alec.
Although the plan to test Alec’s ability to move seed acceptable, but the monk was unwilling to make such a sacrifice for a ager victory.
Besides, achieving the sa outco from a distance was possible as long as the attack was sufficiently strong.
Upon hearing the monk’s advice, Bodhi ca to a stop and stomped his feet on the ground, propelling himself backward to create distance.
Alec raised an eyebrow in response to Bodhi’s action.
The monk noticed Alec’s subtle facial expression and decided to further interfere in the course of the match.
Realizing that the referee had not reprimanded him for his ntal interference, the monk concluded that he could continue with his actions.
Sending ssages through ntal communication could only be accomplished by ntally speaking into a person’s mind.
Such feats could be easily achieved once a certain mastery was attained in ntal abilities.
However, the referee was responsible for covering the entire battle ring arena with their own ntal energy, not only to anticipate danger by reading the fighters’ attacks.
But it included cancelling any ntal interference in the match.
But upon noticing that the referee had not reacted to his previous ntal ssage, the monk decided to send another.
“Create a watered ground with your low-tier spell, depriving him of the opportunity to manifest his sand control, then, send a large wave towards him and observe his reaction, if he shows any sign of struggle when he tries moving, it confirms your suspicion of internal injuries,” the monk advised through the ntal connection.
“But if he remains unaffected, it would an he has been pretending all along to lure you closer to him,” the monk continued, only to have his ntal ssage abruptly cut off.
However, he was certain that the referee was not the one interrupting the connection while floating in the air.
There were still important points the monk wanted to convey to Bodhi.
As it seed that none of the mages that faced Alec had been able to outwit him in terms of tactics.
Alec appeared to possess the wisdom of an experienced warrior, a sly fox, that effortlessly outmaneuvering his opponents.
Despite being frustrated by the interruption of his ntal communication, he didn’t let that discourage him, the monk decided to follow the trail of the ntal energy that had severed his connection with Bodhi.
By utilizing his residual ntal energy, he traced the ntal thread, which led him to direct his focus towards the doors from which the referees erged.
To his astonishnt, he saw the red-haired referee who had been presiding over all the matches from the beginning standing there.
“If you have sothing to convey to your student, you should be able to do so openly, the fact that you resorted to hidden ntal ssages implies it’s not sothing you should be sharing in the first place.”
“Don’t interfere with this match in such a way again, or I will sever both your hands in front of your students, bringing you sha.”
The monk’s mind reverberated with the voice of the red-haired referee, his stern warning echoing ominously.
Despite the referee’s outwardly pleasant deanour, the threatening ssage left no room for doubt about his resolve to carry out the threat.
Under his breath, the monk muttered,
“What a terrifying man, but why should I be punished when it’s clearly your colleague who has failed in his duties?”
Attempting to deflect the bla and seek so leniency, the monk addressed the referee, but the red-haired man still responded dismissively,
“You need not worry about such matters, as for the immature relationship referee, he will receive his due punishnt when the ti is right, and do not refer to him as my colleague; he is nothing more than a temporary substitute when I’m not available, a disgrace to our profession, we praise in public and punish in private, so his punishnt is surely coming.”
With that, the referee severed the ntal connection, making it clear that he did not wish to be seen colluding with the monk for the Vajra Academy’s benefit.
Resigned to the situation, the monk redirected his focus to the ongoing battle, hoping that Bodhi would effectively use the information he had provided.
