As soon as the fight had started, the five people closest to him dashed towards him. Jake had a feeling that some contestants were watching him and he was right. They had planned to attack him together not wanting to take any chances.No?v(el)B\\jnn

    As the first man swung his sword towards Jake''s stomach, Jake quickly pivoted sideways and then kicked him in the shin very hard, not even withdrawing his strength a little bit. Then the second man was already behind Jake and he swung his sword on Jake''s back that landed successfully.

    Immediately the hit landed, the number on Jake''s bracelet changed and displayed 90HP. Although the hit didn''t hurt Jake, the system still counted it as a hit.

    Jake then quickly turned around to the other person that had hit him with the sword then he used his sword''s butt to whack him across the face so hard that he went flying towards his allies.

    The crowd of spectators were now on edge, they were watching the fight between Jake and the five people. Although some of them thought that Jake was being brutal in his strikes, they couldn''t deny that he was quite strong.

    Even Jim was now watching all the fights happening intently. ''If that Kid with the orb is really in the academy, he should be here fighting. So I just have to identify him quickly before he gets away.''

    Now almost everybody''s attention was on Jake wondering if he could pull through this obvious ambush.

    The third person was now upon Jake with an axe kick coming from above. Jake quickly rolled over then he swept the person off his feet therefore causing to fall off balance. Then he did his own axe kick that landed on the man''s stomach knocking out the air from his stomach.

    On the display screen, they could see that the man''s bracelet was now displaying 0. Immediately it did, the man was teleported away then Jake went back a bit confused why five people were attacking him.

    Squinting closer, Jake could finally recognize them. "Sebastian." Jake said under his breath. The men attacking Jake were Sebastian and his friends.

    "Yes." General Paul replied. "His name is Jake Lucas, he came into the academy as a low level. His strength was around number 20, the lowest number a student could have, therefore he earned the power level 1 and the rank 200 in the combat training rankings."

    Gunther leaned forward. "And what''s his current ranking?"

    "He''s currently the rank 4 of the second years." Paul replied to him.

    "How''s this possible?" Rowan almost shouted. "He grew so strong over the year. Even if he was very dedicated or determined to grow stronger, it should have taken years to do that. So how come he managed to grow strong in just a year?"

    "Was he on our radar?" Humfree asked.

    "Negative." Paul said. "Those that had potential are the current number 1 to 3 of the second years. They were the ones we were told to keep an eye for."

    "Well the kid is certainly good." Gunther said. "Let''s just see what else he can show."

    Currently in the arena, there were three people remaining including Sebastian that were now surrounding Jake looking for an opening for an attack.

    "I can see you have grown stronger over the past year." Sebastian said, still circling around Jake. "And so have I."

    Sebastian dashed towards Jake with full speed along with his two remaining friends for an attack while Jake readied himself to defend from the attack with his eyes scanning and watching their movements while Jake''s brain was coming up with counter attacks.

    And then in less than a few seconds, they were now upon Jake. Will they defeat Jake or will Jake manage to pull through this ambush.
