Third Person POV ~
Unknowingly to Ares who was now unconscious, the whole Academy was in an uproar including the Academy's faculty as it was the first time in the academy's history that someone not only ranked #1 in entrance examination but also in written examination and with flying colors at that with the whooping 67 points, He dominated the whole examination by beating most of the candidates one-sided not even allowing them to know what hit them, he not only used his power but also used his brain throughout the examination, his cunningness and calculative behavior made even the Vice Dean and other guests speechless,
Ares's name will be written down in the academy's history for future generations to know about his unprecedented Achievement of getting the Highest individual score a candidate could get, as this record doesn't seem to break anytime soon.
Rumors and gossip between students along with professors about Ares's Achievement reached even outside the academy campus and all around the continent like a wildfire in just a matter of time,
As many media companies came rushing towards the academy for knowing the authenticity of the rumors...
**********
Somewhere in the continent, a black hair, black-eyed beauty wearing a black formal shirtless suit with two katanas hanging around her waist spoke while checking the news on her phone,
"Ahhh, I knew my disciple would achieve something great, I already want to go back and give him a big hug !" she said with an exciting smile,
Then she looked forward with a furious expression and muttered.
"Bastards, because of you guys I can't be with my disciple to celebrate his accomplishments"
The people in front of her were confused by her reaction and someone who seems to be their boss spoke seeing her furious expression,
"I thought we are here for negotiating, do you want to break the end of your deal?" he spoke while glaring at her,
"FUCK YOU AND YOUR NEGOTIATIONS, I REALLY DON'T CARE ANYMORE," she said with a wrathful expression and took out both of her katanas that were hanging around her waist and placed one in each hand and was ready to attack,
The boss was confused by her words and actions so he shouted in desperation, while the people behind him were shocked in fear, and their faces turned pale as they saw the woman taking out her katana from its scabbards...
"W-Wait! l-lets ta-talk ok, yeah w-we can ne-negotiate more" the boss spoke stutteringly in a desperate voice as he was getting an ominous feeling of death from this woman in front of him,
But the woman seems to ignore his pleading and sent her attack while making a cross sign with her sword which was now covered in fire towards them,
As soon as she attacked, the fire burned all of them into ashes not even allowing them to scream, and soon the whole building that they were using as their base was now engulfed in the fire leaving nothing and no one behind...
Even after causing such a scene, the woman doesn't seem to be affected as she saw the whole building burning around her as if she was used to it, she then turned around and walked out of the burning building while talking to someone on her phone,
"Yeah the mission failed, they didn't want to negotiate so I took care of them,... don't worry I didn't cause much damage," she said
".... I see" someone replied from the other side of the phone with a certain pause,
Beep* she hung up and muttered to herself...
"Just wait for a little while my disciple, your master will visit you soon"
Of course, She was MIKA AMAMI.....

Somewhere in the Escratia Kingdom, a man who seems to be in his mid-twenties with black hair and black eyes and a good-looking face which has some similarities to Ares spoke in an enraged voice while standing in the middle of a half-destroyed room with broken vases and furniture could be seen all around the room,
"That mana-less bastard, how can he achieve such a thing," he said in an enraged voice,
As in the Escratia Kingdom, the Achievement of the fourth prince 'Ares Von Rothstaylor' is a hot topic between nobles as well as commoners...
"This won't do, at this rate, my position will be threatened" he spoke with a distorted expression and called someone's name,
"My lord" someone arrived out of nowhere and answered his call and after hearing his request he responded,
"I understand" and left the same way he arrived.,
"Just you wait, you mana less bastard" the black-haired, black-eyed man spoke with an evil smile on his face...
***************
Somewhere across the continent in a damp room, a middle-aged woman with black hair and red eyes spoke in an amused voice,
"Ah~, isn't he the same person we were trying to recruit, I heard he decapitated more than 50 students mercilessly in the Academy's Entrance examination",
"Isn't he more suitable for our organization?" she said while licking her lips and mischievous smile,
And everyone around her nodded their head in agreement....except one person whose face seemed to be distorted hearing that woman's words,
The black haired red-eyed woman spoke again while clapping her hand,
"Should we just kidn-" But even before she can complete her words someone appeared in front of her in a blink of an eye and choked her against the wall leaving the web like cracks on the wall due to the impact,
"If you touch even a single strand of his hair, I will cut you into pieces and turn you into a meat paste," The silver-haired woman said with her eyes shining ferociously,
Everyone in the room was shocked seeing her abnormal reaction but soon someone shouted in a huge and authoritative voice to get everyone's attention,
"STOP!!"
Hearing his voice the silver-haired woman clicked her tongue and released the woman from her choke,
"Ahkk seems like you found yourself an interesting toy HELENA!" the black-haired woman spoke while gasping for breath...
Helena Parker just glared at her ferociously as if seeing a dead woman...

Seeing his updated status screen Ares smiled satisfyingly, he was also satisfied with his new skill as it will help him in dealing with many problems that will come in the future,
Ares had thought that he got this ability too easily as it was one of the important blessings Lucas got in the Novel, as it also has many other uses than just communicating with other races,
A huge grin came on Ares's mouth just thinking about the other hidden possibilities his new skill has...
