Chapter 27: Brain vs Brawn: Part Two
I wiped the blood away from my face and rose to my feet. As I did so, I gently touched various parts of my body to ensure that nothing else was broken or damaged.
Once again, I stood face to face with Baron. Every muscle twitched and every vein bulged out beneath his skin.
"That was an impressive tactic," I said, brushing the dust off my clothes with my right hand. "But I don’t think forbidden techniques are allowed in a school tournament."
His eyebrows shot up.
"How did you...?"
He suddenly broke off, letting out a brief laugh instead.
"You’ve realised my trick, Stormborn. Perhaps you’re more intelligent than I thought."
Of course, I’d recognized his trick – I had used it before.
Body Affinity: Blood Manipulation.
In its D-Tier form, Blood Manipulation was used to rupture blood vessels in another person’s body.
Once physical contact was established, the Spellcaster could damage the blood vessels in any part of the human’s body. This would lead to bleeding inside the body, and eventually death.
I had no idea if such a dangerous technique was allowed in a school contest, but Baron seemed determined to take me out regardless.
