Bloodline of Gods: The Genius at Olympus Academy!

Chapter 57 57. Daybreak Fist!

Knowing Kain's thoughts, how could Aiden let them succeed?

He just sighed and waved his hand.

"You guys can keep on arguing if you want to, but I'm done. I'm going to grab something to eat."

Hearing this, Oliver took it as a sign to be liberated and quickly chimed in.

"If you're going to grab something, then count me in. I'm kind of hungry as well."

"If you're going, then I'm going too," said Raelia matter-of-factly.

The trio looked at each other. But when everyone had been expecting Kain to tag along and insert himself among them, his next words left them kind of shocked.

"If you're just going there to socialize and talk, then count me out. Beautiful, if you want to fight, then you can call me at any time."

When the rest of them heard this, instead of feeling relieved, they felt even more weirded out.

This guy was so strange. It was as if his whole life was simply based around war and fighting. How was it even possible for a normal person to live like that?

But as he was having these thoughts, Aiden quickly remembered that this was the same person who had already started to master the Millennium Killing Sword at the same age as a high schooler.

For someone to be so adept and familiar with war and killing, it was impossible for him to have been normal from the very start.

They had been looking at this guy through the wrong lens right from the start.

Time passed since the day of the arena examination battle, and Aiden was currently inside a private the training ground, slowly trying to digest the benefits he had gained from reaching the 10th level.

After reaching level 10, Aiden, Raelia, and Kain had been rewarded with a unique currency known as divine credits.

Divine credits were basically the unique currency used to exchange and buy things in Olympus Academy.

After the battle, Aiden had sought to fix his one glaring weakness and chose to pick out a close-combat technique.

Although his Sword Arrow technique could be used as a close-combat technique, in truth, its effectiveness was rather mediocre. It didn't even qualify for the category of divine technique and was, at most, a rather fancy parlor trick.

The only really wonderful close-combat technique he had under his belt was the [Heaven's Arrow] technique that he had just created and still had much more room to develop.

But he still couldn't rely on that as his crutch because the attack was still very situational.

If he wanted to eliminate the weakness of close combat, he needed to learn a powerful divine technique that could be activated at all times.

So that's exactly what he did!

Aiden was currently standing inside an exquisite marble-lined private training room when the ground beneath his feet started to shake violently.

A massive metal puppet thundered toward Aiden, raised a massive battle axe, and swung at him.

The terrifying force behind the swing easily stirred up a miniature hurricane, but as the attack landed on Aiden, it had no effect. No, it would be more accurate to say that it passed straight through him!

Aiden's afterimage shattered into a shower of light as his figure instantly appeared in front of the steel giant.

He stepped forward, clenching his fist as his muscles trembled.

Golden divinity poured out from his blood, wrapping around his fist until it turned bright reddish-gold, like heated metal.

[Daybreak Fist!]

Boom!

A circle of golden fire erupted as Aiden's fist barreled forward, sending the giant iron puppet flying backward with a bright red fist mark planted firmly on its chest.

Aiden took several deep breaths to reconnect and smiled.

Success!

Aiden was extremely pleased with his new technique. If there was any weakness, it would probably be that it was a boxing technique and not a weapon one, but that couldn't be helped.

When it came to divine techniques for the divine descendants of Apollo, the bow dominated by an overwhelming amount. After that came boxing. All other weapon techniques were either for much higher ranks or were completely mediocre.

But if you thought about it, it made a lot of sense.

Divine descendants of Apollo would almost always be archers anyway. For an archer to switch to close combat would often mean that they were fighting through extreme or unexpected circumstances.

Regardless of what happened, the ability to switch to close combat as quickly as possible would be essential.

And despite how quick you thought you were, nothing would be quicker than simply dropping your bow and using your fists!

"End the training session."

With his words, a white light flashed on the floor as a faint magic circle could be seen. Next, the giant puppet lit up in a magical flash of light as its giant body began to squirm around until it had melted into a liquid and seeped into a hole, completely disappearing from his sight.

It was a truly strange sight, and Aiden couldn't even begin to comprehend the strange technologies at play.

The first time he had seen it, he was mesmerized and tried to figure out its inner workings. But after finding out the mountain of books he would have to read just to get a basic start, Aiden quickly gave up. Read chapters at empire

Marveling at the mysteries of the realms of the gods once again, Aiden picked up a nearby towel and used it to wipe off some of his sweat. After taking a drink, he fixed himself up a little and exited the training room.

Leaving the training room, he was greeted by the sight of a familiar silver-haired girl.

Aiden noticed Raelia stepping out of another nearby training room. She was dressed in some breathable training clothes that hugged her athletic figure.

Her silver hair was slightly damp and shimmering with sweat, while her tail swayed lazily behind her. Despite this, her face still had a rather content and confident look on it.
