A tall youth with a very overweight physique and yellow hair was currently standing still amidst dozens of other youths who were fiercely engaged in combat.

  A couple of meters in front of him lay a youth with a height of a little bit below the average height for males of 175cm in the continent of Akash,he had a very lean body which gave him a somewhat undead like appearance,he was also standing still.

  Both of them were analyzing the opposition,

  'this guy... I'm combining my Ausstrahlung with my inheritance to increase my physical prowess as well as casting different spells to hinder his movements yet he is still managing to fight me in equal footing...His physical prowess is abnormally high and he is predicting my movements...My clan is one that specializes in hand to hand combat,I have been training ever since I was 5.

  How can the disparity between our skills be so high?...,and that weapon, it's very troublesome to deal with..., I'm not certain but it should be a soul bind...How exactly does he have one?,as far as I know,only prodigents from the most powerful clans could maybe have a soul bind.

  I myself don't even have one...

  Hehe,this will be fun...'

  Deciding to go all out, Yoggot summoned his Avatar, being able to summon an Avatar despite not even having formed his Origin is one of the reasons Yoggot is considered to be the greatest prodigy the Harrow Clan has produced over the last a hundred years.

  Fated could summon up to 6 different Avatars,this is possible due to the Soldner bloodline.

  All human fated except for those who absorbed a soul to gain their abilities had the bloodline "Wehrmacht von Salbei",which translates to Soldier of the Sage in the common language.

  This bloodline was the result of a fusion between the souls of the sages and the souls of the Soldner, therefore,it would give those who inherited it both the abilities of the sages and the Soldner.

  The spells, traits and the ability to manifest soul Mundus into the physical realm came from the sages while the Ausstrahlung,the armor that gives fated their enhanced physical prowess came from the Soldner,

  The Avatars also came from them,they would take a form similar to the summoner,they were invisible in the physical realm and could only be sensed through the use of spiritual sense.

  Avatars could be used to combat enemies or they could be used as sacrifices to receive a Blessing,a Blessing is what allows fated to use their inheritance in combat.

  Although certain inheritance abilities could be used without the need of a sacrifice,like Yoggot's physical prowess enhancement.

  The stronger the avatar,the stronger the blessing would be and therefore the stronger the inheritance ability used.

  The ability to absorb Avatars would depend on someone's Origin,if one had a 1st origin,they would be able to absorb stronger Avatars than those with 2nd,3rd and 4th origins.

  It was also possible to sacrifice the Avatars of others if one managed to purge them.

  A long time ago,it was possible to sacrifice the souls of humans to receive blessings, although this would only be possible if one had an inheritance from a Diabolos or their descendants, The remnant souls of Hemitheos did not accept human souls.

  However, Honored One,Amethaya,The Human Emperor, through the use of unknown means, changed how sacrifices work and banned the use of human souls completely.

  This happened around 96 thousand years ago during the Era of Lost Souls...

  To use an Avatar,one generally needed exceptional multitasking skills,they would need to simultaneously control their own body and the avatar.

  A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  This is one of the reasons why it's very rare for someone of Yoggot's age to be able to not only summon but also properly use one in battle.

  After summoning his Avatar, Yoggot proceeded to request his "Die Hand".

  "Die Hand",is something that was added to the fate system by the God of Gambling,Visseos, Visseos was the most powerful amongst all the Seekers of the World, considered by most to be The only one among them that could rival the two strongest Honored ones, Akerveyn and Achyeldonn.

  Visseos, wasn't a fated or a changeling, instead,he was an abomination, however,he was a very unique abomination since he wasn't inherently extremely malicious like all other abominations.

  Abominations all have something called Authority,this would give them authority over certain ideas,most of them have authority over "annihilation",Vessios however,had 5 different Authorities unrelated to "annihilation".

  Light of judgement,Sage Instinct,sin of Knowledge,Rest and Rest of the blessed one.

  Right before he disappeared forever,Vessios had imparted his Authorities into the Schicksal.

  Authorities and the Black rest Curse would be given at random in each "Die Hand".

  The ones given are called Karten.

  Both parties would receive three different Karten,they would have to predict the opponent's Karten to increase their probability of winning.

  Yoggot received sage instinct,rest and Black rest.

  'what an amazing Hand...'

  With sage instinct,yoggot would be able to let the avatar fight for itself without needing to control it,with rest he would be able to put his opponent to sleep and with Black rest he would be able to "consume their soul", although in this trial ,the soul would not actually be affected, instead,the principal's ability would simulate the effect of when the soul is consumed.

  "Well then friend,show me all you've got..."

  ...

  A large figure ran through the snow at extreme speed,upon coming near the target,the figure swung it's fists in direction of a robust jaw, simultaneously, Ziehen was cast,the purpose being to increase the damage dealt to the opponent.

  When someone is coming forwards towards you,the damage you can deal to them is higher than if they were still.

  A long sword found itself in front of the fist, ready to slice through it,an open palm replaced the closed fist and grabbed the blade in a tight grip,a small cut was left but otherwise,no damage was brought to Yoggot's hand.

  A high kick flew upwards in direction of VanKcrow's jaw,VanKcrow let go of "Arsenal" and raised his left arm to meet the kick, after blocking the attack with his elbow, VanKcrow summoned "Arsenal" again in the form of a katana and swung it forwards with his right hand.

  Before the katana could do proper damage however...It was caught between sharp and black colored teeth.

  VanKcrow tried to swing it forwards in a attempt to cut Yoggot's head but he could not budge even a single bit.

  Yoggot brought his leg down and tried to kick VanKcrow's ribs but was Blocked by A hard shin,VanKcrow proceeded to change "Arsenal" into a short sword and threw it forwards towards Yoggot's neck,Yoggot barely managed to catch it with his hands but right after "Arsenal" changed into a longsword yet again,Yoggot could not react and his throat was pierced.

  Yoggot let go of the blade completely and dropped his hands down, despite all this, VanKcrow did not let his guard down.

  A wise choice since immediately after...A massive feeling of dizziness manifested itself in his mind,if VanKcrow had relaxed,he would have immediately falled asleep.

  This was the effect of Rest, Yoggot had waited until the time he thought VanKcrow would let his guard down to use Rest.

  His plan was to make VanKcrow fall asleep and defeat him with Black Rest.

  However, despite feeling extremely dizzy, VanKcrow managed to not fall asleep.

  This was due to a very particular ability of changelings to resist mental attacks,the AndroGennan,an enhanced version of the androgen receptor status would resist any type of force attempting to manipulate the mind of a changeling, however,if one was in a relaxed state,this effect would lessen considerably.

  'he resisted it?'

  Yoggot was currently quite shocked,he hadn't expected VanKcrow to resist the effect of Rest.

  'well then,I guess it's time I use my Avatar...'

  Previously,Yoggot hadn't used his Avatar since he sent it to go kill other students that where nearby,he had been quite confident in being able to defeat VanKcrow without it,but now that confidence waned a bit...
