The Survival of the Third-rate Villain-Chapter 71 - - Skill Showcasing [1]

Raye and Jerusha immediately headed into the Northern Forest.

To where they usually hold their private lessons on spirit magic.

-Meep!

-Hmm...

Pyro and Zephyrus were with them, of course.

-There’s a lot of spirits here, huh?

Zephyrus said, looking around.

Then, astonished...

"Yeah, there are."

Raye replied to him.

He could see them all now!

All the spirits!

"You can see them?!"

Jerusha asked, hearing his words.

And, excitedly...

"Yeah, I can."

Raye responded with a smile.

-Ohhh, you can see us now!

-Hello again, Raye!

-You got a lot stronger, huh!

The spirits talked to Raye.

They were all gathering around him.

Right now, Raye looked like a princess from an animated movie!

’I guess I did get a lot stronger.’

Raye thought to himself.

And with a small smile on his face...

"Hello there."

He started interacting with the spirits.

-Meep!

Pyro started playing with the younger ones.

-Pleasure to meet you.

And Zephyrus socialized with the older ones.

And happily...

"Hehe."

Jerusha joined them.

*****

After a while...

Raye and Jerusha continued on to the main reason they were in the Northern Forest in the first place.

The spirits were now watching Raye from the sidelines, curious.

Anyway, moving on...

"What’s the first skill you’ll show me?"

Jerusha asked Raye.

Then, Raye, after thinking for a bit...

"The Flash Step."

He answered.

"Hmm, what is it?"

"It’s a mobility skill, inspired by your wind-flying thingy skill."

Then he explained.

"Ohhh, so it’s a skill you made with Zephyrus?"

Jerusha asked.

"Hm."

And Raye just nodded his head in response.

"I wanna see it!"

Jerusha exclaimed.

And after that...

"Sure thing."

Raye responded.

Tap- tap- tap—

Then he started walking away from Jerusha.

And when there was about 15 meters of distance between them...

Tap—

He stopped and looked at her.

"You ready?"

Raye asked.

"Yep."

Jerusha replied, nodding her head.

Fwip-

And then Raye crouched down, ready to take off.

’I wonder what he would do.’

Jerusha wondered.

And as soon as she did...

"[Flash]"

She heard Raye’s voice.

And the next thing she knew...

Bam—

"?!"

"Sup."

Raye was standing in front of her!

"..."

Jerusha was speechless, looking at Raye with widened eyes!

And seeing her reaction...

"Heh."

A twisted smirk appeared on Raye’s face!

He didn’t say anything, though.

Jerusha was really shocked. She knew she hadn’t been paying proper attention earlier...

But she’s still a sophomore who participates in combat classes!

Meaning that she wouldn’t normally miss things that get near her, unless they were super fast!

That just showed how fast Raye was!

Anyway, after breaking out of her stupor...

"Do it again, I didn’t catch it!"

Jerusha exclaimed.

And casually...

"Sure."

Raye responded.

He didn’t walk away this time.

Instead, he turned his back to Jerusha...

Fwip-

And after crouching down...

Swoosh—

Gusts of wind covered his legs!

Jerusha saw that and was immediately amazed.

And after that...

"[Flash]"

Bam—

Raye disappeared from his spot!

Fwish-

And he reappeared meters away from Jerusha!

"..."

Jerusha was silent again.

Though this time...

’I saw it.’

She saw how Raye’s skill worked!

’He’s really amazing.’

Jerusha thought, looking at Raye.

’He creates absurd skills that don’t use a lot of mana.’

She added.

And with a frown on her face...

"He would’ve been super strong if he had a big mana pool."

Jerusha mumbled that under her breath.

*****

After showing off his Flash Step...

Raye was planning to show Jerusha the Blaze next.

Though...

"I forgot my sword."

He hadn’t brought any weapon with him.

"Do we go back to the cabin and get it?"

Your adventure continues at empire

Jerusha asked.

And immediately...

"No, I’ll figure it out."

Raye responded.

He was too lazy to go back and forth from here to the cabin.

And so...

"..."

He looked around, curious.

And after a while of searching...

"This could work."

Raye found a stick, it was as long as Ivan’s sword that he used now.

Swish- swoosh—

He swung it a few times.

And seeing that it didn’t break...

"Yep, this would work."

Raye said that.

"Ohh, so you’re using that?"

Jerusha butted in and asked him.

"Yeah."

Raye simply replied, looking at her.

And without asking her any further...

"[Blaze]"

Raye muttered!

SWAAAAAAA—

Then a violent, raging fire came out of his hand and swallowed the stick he was holding like a sword in his right hand!

Watching this...

"..."

Jerusha frowned in surprise, she was silent again!

Though, while she was like that...

"Can you like, provide a target for me?"

Raye asked her.

"Oh..."

Jerusha was surprised, but after that...

"[Rock Pillar]"

She used one of her skills!

GRRRR—

The ground shook!

"?!"

Raye’s eyes widened.

And only a few seconds later...

FWISH—

A five-meter-tall pillar rose from the ground in front of Raye!

’She’s really amazing.’

Raye thought.

SWOOSH—

And then he proceeded to slash his flaming stick horizontally!

SLASH—

Cutting the pillar straight in half!

THUD—

Watching the pillar she made fall...

"..."

Jerusha didn’t say anything.

Then, turning his attention to Raye...

’He’s really amazing.’

She thought of that.

*****

"Just how do you create skills like these?"

Jerusha asked, approaching Raye and observing his flaming sword.

Though, as she was doing so...

Psh-

The stick Raye was holding crumbled into dust.

"Oh..."

Raye mumbled.

"Hmm, so it consumes your weapon’s durability, huh."

Jerusha said, noticing what happened.

"Yeah, that’s the downside of the skill."

Raye responded.

Looking at him...

"..."

Jerusha squinted her eyes.

"With this, you have three skills with Pyro and one skill with Zephyrus."

Then she said.

Though...

"I actually have two skills with Zephyrus, I just couldn’t use the other one very well at the moment."

Raye corrected her.

And hearing him...

"Huh?"

Jerusha was in disbelief.

Then, curiously...

"What’s the other one?"

She asked.

"I don’t know what to call it, so I just named it Tear."

Raye casually responded.

"Can you show me?"

Jerusha requested to see it.

And with a smirk on his face...

"That’s why we’re here in the first place, right?"

Raye responded.
