Uzan's eyes widened at the sight of Julian's crimson eyes.
"Enough games," Uzan growled, slamming his foot down with tremendous force.
The arena floor fractured beneath him as three massive earth pillars erupted from the ground, each one as thick as a tree trunk.
With a roar, Uzan kicked them in rapid succession, sending the stone columns hurtling toward Julian like battering rams.
"Let's see how serious you can be!" Uzan shouted, his voice echoing throughout the arena.
Julian didn't flinch. With his enhanced perception, the flying pillars appeared to move in slow motion.
He analyzed their trajectory, mass, and velocity in an instant, his mind calculating the precise force needed to counter them.
-Is he not planning on dodging them?!
-That first years insane.
-There's no way he's doing that…
The crowd gasped as Julian rushed directly toward the incoming projectiles instead of dodging.
BOOM!
He met the first pillar head-on, his fist connecting with the solid stone.
