"Now, stand up you all, we will start with the basics of martial techniques", The instructor shouted out loud,
Snapping everyone out of their daze. Listening to these words, everyone's eyes pooped out of their sockets as they looked at the instructor as if they were looking at the warden of hell itself.
"You all better pop your eyes back in before I start to myself", the instructor spoke in a chilling voice.
Listening to these words, a weak-willed student fainted out of fear.
"Hmph, such weak-willed brats nowadays, take them away",
The instructor snorted before giving a command, and as soon as he said his words. The wall near them morphed and turned into a small golem.
The golem looked toward the fainted student, walked forward, and then grabbing the student by the leg, it dragged the student towards the infirmary.
The instructor looks around the class and shouted once more,
"That student wouldn't be studying in elite class anymore, heck not even in the academy. He is expelled from the academy. Such whims are not required in the Academy",
Listening to these words, everyone's expression morphed into that of pure reluctance. The students willed their bodies to move and with great difficulty stood up.
"Good, now that's more like it. Let us get started with the session".
The instructor nodded and looked very pleased with the expression everyone had on their faces. It felt that the instructor was someone who gained great pleasure from such actions.
Ray looked at the instructor with a calm expression but internally, he was disgusted, disgusted at how the instructor took pleasure from other students' suffering.
However, Ray didn't suffer. He was quite happy as his body felt freer than ever as if some chains that bound his body had been lifted.
Ray knew the reason why he felt like that and that was simple. The exercise they had been doing before had opened many blocked channels within their body while also letting blood flow more smoothly than before.
And as Aurora had told him, doing the exercise as a warm-up for a long time would result in the enlargement of his energy channels and also the strengthening of his blood vessels.
One didn't need to be a genius to know how beneficial enlarged energy channels and strengthened blood vessels are while cultivating.
Putting all the thoughts in the back of his head, Ray started copying the instructor's actions, imitating the technique that the instructor performed.
In front of Ray stood a wooden dummy that Ray was required to perform the technique on,
As Ray imitated the technique, he felt his body act strange. He felt faint energy burning within his lower abdomen, concentrating on the lower abdomen he felt within him, Ray saw a small flame flickering there. The flame looked extremely small and feeble looking as if it would extinguish any moment.
As Ray observed more intently, he could feel the flame providing Ray with energy.
The energy from the flame started to flow as Ray imitated the technique. His body followed with the motion of the technique, his hands moved the same way a petal would on water, graceful yet delicate.
As his body performed the movements, the energy spread throughout his body and started to gather in his hands.
The energy started building up more and more while Ray got the illusion that his hands could smash a hole through a mountain.
But Ray did not release the energy in his hands, he controlled and contained the energy more and more. The energy started to gather while his hands started inflating like a balloon.
Knowing that he can't continue it any longer, Ray pushed his hands forward and with the momentum built up from his actions,
His hands turned into a blur, and his body leaned forwards towards the puppet. His left leg lifted up and with all of his strength, he stomped on the ground and punched at the puppet,
"Booom!",
A large boom sounded as the space dilated and tears spread around the puppet.
And then,
"Crack!",
The puppet blasted into smithereens as the tears spread out, finishing the puppet from the inside out.
A few seconds later, nothing was left of the puppet as the tears turned the puppet into dust.
Ray stared at the puppet or what was left of it in astonishment. His punch had torn the space around it to shreds.
Many would have thought that Ray had simply punched too hard, causing such damage to the puppet. But Ray, with his exceptional perception and agility, had seen what his punch did.
His punch had caused small tears in the space around the puppet. Which then tore the puppet into shreds.
As astonished as Ray was, he was equally confused too. Proceeding to ask Aurora,
He asked,
"Aurora wasn't that some sort of effect on space due to the energy in my body, now I need to ask you since when did I have an affinity to the legendary space element or was it the technique",
However, he received no reply. Only a static sound could be heard from their connection. Ray didn't panic as he understood that Aurora was also confused and currently looking into the matter.
He thought of looking at what others were doing but, just as he turned around to look, a feeling of dizziness enveloped him while his step staggered.
He could feel the world spinning, holding his head with his hands, Ray had a big headache while his consciousness started to slip away. Trying his best to keep himself conscious, Ray bit his lower lip until he drew blood while his hands were clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white.
Still, Ray wasn't able to hold off to himself before his vision darkened, and then,
"Thudd!!",
With a thud, he fell to the ground, unconscious while blood oozed off his eyes and ears.
On the other hand, the instructor kept his eyes on Ray as he could feel that Ray was a very talented student and along with his diligence, the instructor was sure that Ray could easily reach the celestial realm if given enough time and resources.
Due to this, the instructor had kept his eyes trained on him from the moment Ray started practicing the technique and seeing Ray perfectly imitate the technique, the instructor was satisfied but when he saw Ray blast the puppet to smithereens, he was baffled.
Not because of the power Ray displayed, but rather because Ray had caused tears to appear in the space around the puppet because of his punch.
Another reason for his bafflement was the amount of energy Ray had stored in his hands, this amount of energy was enough for someone's hands to burst open into a bloody mush due to the load from the energy, but seeing Ray's hands all fine and intact left the instructor surprised.
However, the instructor was brought out of his tumor when he saw Ray holding his head in his hands and bleeding from his eyes and ears before falling unconscious.
He quickly ran towards Ray and checked his body condition. Seeing that Ray had fainted because of consuming too much, he was a bit relieved as it was not much of a serious problem.
A good meal and a nice sleep would fix the issue. Therefore, he sent Ray to the infirmary for further checkups as he didn't want to take any chances with the health of such talent.
On the other hand, all the other students thought nothing of Ray fainting as a result of using too much energy as they knew of such people who were too weak and had no strength to speak of and fell unconscious from even small usages of energy.
However, some people had strange looks on their faces, these were those who knew of Ray's strength and also knew Ray's identity as the class monitor of the current elite class.
But only a few had a look of astonishment as they had observed what Ray did to the puppet. These people knew that a new heavenly genius had been born today, a genius who had control over the legendary space element.
Amongst these students, a blonde-haired student had a smirk on his face while a glint flashed in his eyes as he observed Ray being carried to the infirmary.
