A canvas of smoke had risen up, as space distorted in a way that looked like the reality they were staring in front of was a false one. One to be malleable and manipulated by the hands of a certain sorcerer standing in the middle of it.

It had happened in an instant, a few words being spoken with his right arm pointed forward at the white Lupo who charged at him, and then the next a beam(?) of red energy had shot out, exploding and painting the entire room in a low crimson color.

The operators had acted fast, although the force of the attack was not strong enough to injure anybody watching from the stands, the one particularly skilled with shielding damage and acting as tanks had moved forward to shield the spectators in the back from the incoming shockwave.

After space had bent itself back to its original position in the world, medical operators started rushing to the scene, and trying to find any signs of life in the dust clearing. Mostima regarded them with a look, as she swung her hand lightly, not needing to draw one of her staves. To their benefit, the clearing of dust had been blown away in an instant with a swift 'whoosh' echoing in the air.

The medical operators quickly sent her a grateful look, as she casually shrugged in response. When the scene made itself clear, what caught everybody's attention was the absolute mess that the arena was, debris littering the ground as the ground looked like an earthquake had just passed through and lifted portions of the ground up.

Terra had stronger materials compared to Earth, as Gojo had analyzed their structures using his SIx Eyes before. How else would the residential buildings withstand the force of a person swinging with the force to collapse multiple buildings? They needed to evolve in terms of structure and make-up.

The Rhodes Island training grounds in particular had some of the best materials made for it, to satisfy the needs of the Elite Operators' strength, so color the spectators surprised as Gojo casually stood in the utter destruction he had caused.

'It is most likely going to come out of his paycheck,' those thoughts echoed in the minds of nearly everybody present.

The battered form of Lappland was picked up, as the medics laid her on a stretcher. She had multiple burn marks on her skin, her face had been shield last second and was the least damaged out of them all. But it still bled from the scalp, leaving her ears drooped down.

Schwarz glanced at Ceylon, who was behind her; she had taken the initiative to shield her as her bodyguard.

Ceylon glanced back, as a look of recognition flashed across their faces. He was a very, very powerful person. Theories came up in their minds about his background, the Gojo clan, cursed energy, and the like; flooded their minds far more intensely than before.

Seeing him stand there, watching the Lupo being pulled away with such a dead look on his face contrasted with his always casual and cheery attitude, causing an air of authority to surround his already cursed aura.

Exuisai came up to Mostima, who was still staring dead on at The Strongest Sorcerer. "Is this why you're so interested in this new guy?" A question came out of her mouth as her light wings lightly fluttered.

"Hmm~? What? Are you jealous~?"

"T-that's besides the point!" Exuisai sported a flustered look as she waved her arms, "sure, he's stupidly handsome, but-..." The red haired Sankta girl paused, "...You're playing me aren't you?" She looked like a splashed cat when staring at Mostima.

"Mhm~," Mostima let out a chuckle at her actions, "besides, it's better if you didn't know."

"It's related to the Church, isn't it?" Exuisai held a more stern expression, staring at Gojo as Mostima simply shrugged beside her.
