Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System-Novel

Back at the platform, seeing that his enemy wasn't doing anything, Wade got angrier, to make up for the difference in height most of the males from the snow eagle clan become knights, so mentioning that was rubbing salt on the wound.

Still knowing the specialty of the illusory wilk worm clan, he didn't rush, instead of that, he punched the air making waves of his battle aura fly towards Caleb.

Caleb coldly snorted and under the surprised eyes of Wade, he blocked the waves of battle aura with his bare hands, it would be more accurate to say that the battle aura simply bounced back without affecting him at all.

"What!", Wade couldn't help but exclaim, a physically weak race like the illusory silk worm which is a mage actually blocked his attacks without using any spell, it was ridiculous.

But then he remembered how Arianna overpowered a knight while being a mage too, and he gritted his teeth.

"Spoiled idiots… anyone can become strong with a half emperor training it", he mumbled.

While Caleb was technically the son of the supreme elder, the father of his older twin is a half emperor, so it wouldn't be surprising that he got some high leveled training.

Inside the skybox of the elite class, Daimon shook his head, the scene in his infinity eyes was completely different to what others were seeing.

There was only one thing on the arena… a huge cocoon made out of lavender colored silk, the thing covered the whole platform and while others could only the cocoon from outside, Daimon could see what was happening inside.

"This match is over", he openly said.

While Wade was insulting Caleb, the latter was spreading his silk throughout the area, and after Wade activated his battle aura, Caleb casted his spell.

As a knight Wade is less perceptive towards mana, unless he actively uses mana sense, which he for some reason didn't, probably because he was too busy getting angry due to the people on the grades laughing at him.

Yvonne nodded at Daimon's declaration, races which are talented in mind and illusory type spells are rare, even in her night sparrow clan, only the best of the best can use them, among which her parents and her are included.

"Spells that affect the mind are hard to fend off, besides those who are skilled on them by innate, the only way to resist is either having a lot of real combat experience, not training but situations where you could die… or using a magic treasure which keeps your mind clear".

Daimon's eyes glowed, mind or illusion wasn't considered an element and yet it was rare for someone to be skilled in them, knights were especially susceptible to that kind of attack too, and an agitated mind only made Wade be easier to trick, to top it off this tournament banned personalized magic treasures, on other words from the very beginning, the guy from the Risha family was fighting against his natural predator.

"What a shame I can't see the illusion", he thought, although the infinity eyes allowed him to see through the cocoon, the only thing he saw was Wade using the martial art "aura fist" to hit the ground like an idiot, while Caleb calmly walked sidewards towards his enemy.

It was also interesting, how the illusory silk worm race could create illusions using their silk as a "green screen".

Then Daimon saw Caleb using the spell "Earth hands", but before they reached Wade, lavender colored silk covered the hands and only then the attack was directed at Wade.

…

Inside the cocoon Wade was starting to panic, no matter how much he attacked Caleb simply dispelled his aura using his left hand, it never crossed his mind that he was under an illusion.

Not everything was his fault though, just like how the guy from the Arkuoda family, Caleb and his brother have been reserving some of their strongest spells for the tournament.

He stole a gaze at the direction in which the bench for the other participants was and coldly snorted.

"From the seventh ranked and below everyone has proper experience, so tricking them would not be that easy and with this I have taken away a powerful spell from your repertory… right my "dear" older brother".

As he spoke his face twisted in hatred, just because he was born a few seconds after his brother he was treated as a shadow of him, no matter how much he trained, his older brother easily surpassed him.

There was a time where he admired his brother… but then he became arrogant to the point that he was treated as a servant; with time he started hating his own reflect on a mirror as it remembered the person, he hated the most.

His "father" also explained his theory of why he couldn't surpass his brother no matter how much he tried, somehow the father of his brother made him lose part of his affinity and passed it to his older brother, otherwise it wouldn't make sense that two exactly similar people could be so different in potential terms.

Once he had made about one hundred earth hands, he inwardly grinned.

"Silk World!", he mumbled.

With that last thought, in Wade eyes countless of earth spikes came from above so he pointed at the sky and swayed his sword towards it, although his attacks flew and clashed against the roof of the cocoon thus breaking it, by the time he realized, the hundred earth hands which he couldn't see since they were concealed with Caleb's silk, all clashed against him.

While one hand only weighted about ten kilograms, one hundred of them at the same time amounted to an impacting force of one ton, and an eight-star ranked knight can produce about eight hundred kilograms, so when the hands clashed against him… he vomited blood.

"Aghhhh!!", a miserable scream filled the arena, in the eyes of the spectators, that weird cocoon split apart and the battered figure of Wade flew out of it before landing at the border of the platform.

The cocoon disappeared as Caleb walked out of it.

"I can't go past the eight ranked, but now your "Silk World" won't surprise your opponent, with this your chances to get he first place have lessened my dear older brother", he thought as he waved his hand towards Wade.

Wade was unconscious after having being taken with the guard down, then a whip made out of silk hit his body making him fall from the platform.

While the referees were confused about what was happening, their duty was to only make sure the rules were followed so after making sure that Wade wasn't attacked by anything that broke the rules nor suffered permanent wounds, Caleb was declared the winner.

"The winner, Caleb Allier!".

The spectators didn't know what happened inside the cocoon, but since the winner was already decided they had no choice but to accept the result, some of the girls actually cheered him, a win is a win after all.

Without saying anything else, Caleb left the platform and after stealing a gaze at his older brother which was frowning, he inwardly laughed before laving the arena to the resting area.

Calant Allier gritted his teeh as he cursed his younger brother who was leaving the arena.

"That useless fool, using Silk World to deal with a nobody out of the top ten… whatever I guess that's what that inferior imitation had to do in order to win".

Just like Trevor told to Caleb, his older brother didn't think he revealed one of the two most powerful spells available for star rank mages in the Allier family on purpose, instead he believed that due to his natural lower battle prowess he had to do it in order to win, although his opponent used to be only one position below him in the ranks.

Back at the row of honorable seats, where most of the half emperors and those with similar status like the magus kings and queen are, a tall man with a slim complex, long lavender hair a refined face and a small crown, frowned.

And his expression became even darker when he heard a hoarse but ridiculing voice, coming from the person sitting at his left side, where a two-meter tall, bull-headed man with a long spiky mane was sitting cross legged without any chair.

"Hahaha, what's wrong Sawyer, are you angry because that son/nephew of yours had to use his triumph card against a member of a family which doesn't have the support of a half emperor?".

Apparently the Faresh and Allier families have a terrible relationship at all levels, the ancestor of the Allier family called Sawyer, simply shrugged as he pointed at the two members of the Faresh family which were still sitting on the bench.

"You sure talk big for someone whose both younger sons aren't even in the top five, despite having your guidance, did you perhaps got cheated on by that old cow woman of yours… Kirdun Faresh?".

The bull-headed man immediately stopped laughing, his whole body trembled and a second later his figure grew taller until he was about three meters height.

"Are you perhaps feeling itchy Sawyer, if you want to, I don't mind teaching a lesson to your sissy ass".

The atmosphere became tense when the mana of two half emperors started leaking from their bodies, more accurately mana and battle aura, luckily their powers were still being suppressed by the sealing formation of the academy, so at most they could excel the power of an early-stage Arch ranked, which wasn't enough to destroy the stands nor the training grounds.

Also, the field marshal was actively creating a barrier with his mana around the area just in case, after letting their mana and battle aura clash for about one minute, none of them got a noticeable advantage over the other, and after snorting both calmed down, not by their own will, but because they noticed Aura glaring at them, as the principal she had the authority to ignore the suppression of the sealing formation, so if they took things too far, they couldn't blame her for beating them up.
