Absolute Soul
78. Behind The Mask

All the attention of the Blazers in the arena now centers on the host as soon as Jack points to him, while the host himself frowns on his forehead not understanding Jack's words.

"Mask? What mask?" The host put on a wry smile not understanding Jack's intentions regarding the mask.

Jack narrowed his eyes and increased the pressure of his soul energy even more in response to the host's reply, "Don't act dumb."

Jack's words did not sound harsh, but everyone could hear and could feel the soul energy flowing in each of his words. The heavy and intimidating aura that enveloped Jack's body also instead of thinning and disappearing, it was getting stronger and more concentrated.

This made the Blazers who were in the arena frown not understand and feel confused about Jack's words, but at the same time they also judged Jack as a person who could understand the situation. Jack would not do that without a good reason.

In the end they choose to stay silent first while looking at the situation, considering there is no explanation or clue shown by Jack. But judging from the direction of the conversation, Jack suspects that the host is doing something unwanted.

"Jack, what do you mean do that?"

Thanks to the heart card recovery ability that Jack provided, most of Haikal's injuries were successfully healed in an instant. It is not completely but Haikal can stand easily even though his energy does not recover.

"You can just look from there." Jack did not take his eyes off the host when he answered Haikal, he then pulled out a piece of clover-denoted card from the Forbidden Magic Card pile and absorbed his ability, "All will be revealed as soon as possible."

Jack did not stall any longer, he created several magic spears that floated around him and aimed those spears towards the host.

It made the Blazer in the arena raise an eyebrow at the same time, while in the special room of the teacher, the teachers had already stood up and were about to take action to stop Jack, but Veindal got up and forbade them.

"Chief of the School, what do you mean you forbid us to stop it?!"

"Jack is a great Blazer candidate, but the game is over! The target this time was not the tournament participants!"

"Right, if it's not stopped now Jack is no longer the Blazer Academy, but rather the Blazer criminal!"

Veindal understood the meaning of his subordinate's words, but the middle-aged man did not reply and only exerted a blaring soul energy pressure, which was, pressing down on their bodies all forcibly as if the gravity in their place had increased by several folds.

"I agree that this is a normal situation, but you misunderstand it" Veindal said with dignity as the Headmaster of the Skymaze Academy as well as the Cardinal-level Blazer, making the teachers not dare to fight back.

Veindal turned his attention to the arena and flicked his hands before exclaiming, "As the Headmaster, I, Veindal Volksky ordered the Blazer guards to remove the arena barrier right now!"

The announcement from Veindal shocked everyone who heard it. They did not believe Veindal gave such a dangerous order, but did not dare to voice their disapproval blatantly.

"Ke-Head of School, are you seriously doing that?!" The presenter who had been silent since then suddenly argued through the commentator's microphone, could not believe Veindal even intended to release the barrier that limited the arena and the stands so that the attack from the field did not hurt the audience.

Veindal in fact ignored the host, he once again exclaimed loudly at the guard Blazer to remove the barrier, "What are you doing? Quickly remove the barrier!"

Veindal's cry just now made the guard Blazers slightly shudder. Although they disagreed, they could not resist and finally released the barrier according to Veindal's orders.

The host looked a little panicked to see the arena barrier slowly disappearing, his gaze then shifted towards Jack who now had a big smile on the arena field.

"Magic Javelin!" Jack did not waste the opportunity Veindal gave him, he then threw all his spears towards the host at high speed, even faster than the magic he used against Haikal.

Blaarr!!

A big enough explosion was created by Jack's spear attack, almost all of the Blazers who were there berated Jack who was felt to be crazy to really attack the host with such power.

Jack smiled cynically in response to Haikal's reaction, "You still don't understand it either?"

Haikal raised next to his brows not understanding Jack's intentions, but he had not had time to ask Haikal to feel the turbulent soul energy pressure from the host's place. His sight then shifted to that place.

After a few seconds, the figure of the host who seemed fine despite being hit by Jack's attack in a landslide. Looks like a little invisible protective wall surrounding his body.

"Fucking lunatic, I never thought you were the one who exposed my disguise." The host huffed in annoyance, but there was something strange about his appearance. Can be seen the current figure of the host looks like a broken hologram.

The appearance of the broken hologram lasted only a few moments, the host then grabbed the watch he was wearing and threw it away, "Sad, this unlucky thing can't be used anymore."

Now the original figure of the host who had been observing and commenting on the entire final match today was revealed, he was in the form of a man aged around 20 to 30 years with a little beard on his chin. A much different figure from the usual host.

"Well, if it's found out how else." The man sighed softly while scratching the back of his head that did not itch for a moment, then looked at Jack and Haikal who were in the middle of the arena court with a small, cold smile, "I'll accompany you to play."

When the man wanted to kick the floor over to Jack and Haikal in the arena field, a bluish flash struck him from the direction of the teachers' hall, "Like I'm just gonna let you go!"

Right, the one who floated the blue lightning just now was Veindal Volksky, the Principal of Skymaze Academy.

"School Head!" Haikal exclaimed at the arrival of Veindal who was now standing before him, while Jack did not look surprised.

"The two of you have fought quite well, now it's the official Blazer's turn to take care of it." Veindal did not distract her from the original figure of the host while speaking so. He then pointed to one side of the arena, "Take them away from here and hide in a safe place."

Haikal reflexively turned to the place Veindal pointed to, where Salvia and Verna were both issuing Soul Arc each looking towards the arena. It is also known that there are traces of fighting in the environment around them.

Haikal still did not understand why Veindal had asked him to take Salvia and Verna away and hide, when he was about to ask Veindal had already spoken.

"Listen to me, Haikal. Most likely right now all over Adele is going through more or less the same situation," Veindal explained glancing at Haikal, "You guys the finalists of the tournament are probably their goal."

"We?" Haikal raised his eyebrows higher still did not understand the situation, but he had not had time to ask any further to hear the sound of a powerful explosion from outside the academy region that shook the ground so violently.

"It's started." Veindal muttered that little feeling the great shock, he clucked to find that his fear was indeed happening, "It's really terrible."

After muttering this, Veindal turned his gaze to Jack and Haikal who were behind him, "I leave my daughter to you, Haikal."

"Head of School, what ma—" Has not had time to talk further, Jack has pulled Haikal's arm darted quickly to the location of Salvia and Verna are located.

Veindal gave a small smile looking at the mere figure of the princess who looked surprised and did not understand the situation, she said, but he immediately turned his attention to the figure who was the host who now appears unharmed despite being struck by his lightning.

"Have you said goodbye to your daughter, old man?" The man smiled sinisterly looking down on Veindal from above.

Veindal laughed for a moment in response to the man's words, "Pamitan? I just went to work for a while as usual before coming back and spoiling her again."

After saying so Veindal exerted a tremendous amount of terrifying soul energy pressure, so terrible the soul energy pressure that Jack and Haikal had exerted in the previous match was nothing.

"Heh, you borderless fellow." The man behind the host figure smiled cynically before exerting a soul energy pressure that almost matched Veindal, "You will die today, Master Veindal."
