He disappeared and then reappeared in a burst of shadowy energy right behind Cyrus.
Both Cyrus and the buffer’s shoulders jumped at Max’s sudden disappearance and reappearance.
“It’s over Cyrus! Eat my fist!”
SMASH!
Max threw a mana-imbued fist right into Cyrus Archer’s jaw.
The arrogant boy’s entire head exploded, brain matter shooting everywhere.
It was as Max had suspected. Normally, he could only copy one ability at a time, but because Cyrus’ bind ability had been infused with the buffer’s passive enhancing abilities, his mimic picked up both traits at once.
If the buffer then doubled Max’s power and then Max’s trait doubled on top of that, that meant he was sending out a mana-infused fist at quadruple his normal power.
So much power that his fist destroyed Cyrus in one hit.
“Impossible,” shouted the buffer with fear.
Even if the Archer family’s plan succeeded, Cyrus, the psychopathic heir to the Archer dynasty would not get to reap any of the benefits.
Max turned to the buffer.
The echoes of screams and pandemonium reverberated across the arena once more.
Now that Cyrus had fallen, the bind trait was no longer holding any of the audience in place.
Max turned back to stop the buffer and find out more details of this evil plan of the Archer’s, but the climber had disappeared.
Chaos and pandemonium filled the arena. Monstrous screams and wails from the city echoed all around him.
This was turning out to be one heck of a final exam.

Sakura shuddered and turned around to face Samuel.
“What have you done?” said the climber president turning to the man as well, his face full of anger.
Sakura thought back to when she first met Max. The high-ranked minotaur that had made it to the walls of the tower-zone. That had been an experiment. Samuel had been behind that creature’s movement. He’d been working on this insane plan for months, maybe even longer.
“I don’t need to listen to either of you any more,” said Samuel snidely. “All these rules in place. What good do they do any of us? And why should those of us multiple times more powerful than normal citizens have to abide by rules that protect them? What about us? Don’t we deserve more for rising so far above the ranks of humans?”
“You’ve gone completely mad, Samuel” said the climber president. “Have you forgotten already why such rules are in place?”
BOOM!
Another reverberation from an attack trembled through the room.
They needed to stop wasting time in here, thought Sakura. They needed to put a stop to this. They had to go protect the citizens from the incoming monster wave.
