[Welcome, lord Jason. I was very eager to meet you.] Theo came near Jason. As he was coming closer Jason could feel his intimidating pressure. But even if he was feeling it he wasn’t affected like when he was weak.

{I can tell just by looking at him, why Adriel told me to be careful. he is indeed scary… he started testing me the moment I entered the room.. let me check him.}

{I am not even surprised after seeing these monstrous stats. I already saw Adriel’s power levels so this is not at all surprising….although he have some new skills like Berserk and Paralyze. So, I need to be careful of those.} Jason thought to himself.

[Thank you very much, Director sir] Jason said.

[I’ll come straight to the point, lord Jason. I am one of those angels who were against the idea of Supreme Lord giving his powers to a mere human. So I am not even interested in testing you…but I have been ordered by Supreme lord so I have to do it.]

Theo came right to the point.

{man…he is very straight forward.}

[I know,...... I know that some of you doubt me…and I don’t even know what am I supposed to do with this power that I got. Even I get confused sometimes that am I worthy of this power or not.. But God himself entrusted me with this power so he must have some goal for me….Adriel also trusted me and taught me how to use this amazing power. So, I am not going to let them down…. No matter what!!] Jason replied with conviction. Jason didn’t know his role in all of this but he was not going to back down now.

Theo could see conviction in his eyes. He was startled after looking into Jason’s eyes.

[then let’s see if what you are saying is true..] Theo said and went near the wall and opened different space just like the one in Jason basement. He invited Jason in that space.

{this is completely different from where I train with Adriel.} Jason thought when he entered that space. It was a very plain ground….it looked like a ground where duels took place.

[there no better way to test you than directly fighting you…So, If you manage to land a blow on me just once I’ll consider you a winner and I won’t ever doubt you again. In that 30 minutes I will not use any of my divine arts. Does that sound ok?] Theo said.

{no that is just not fair, even if he is not going to use his arts he is still too powerful….it’s like he is deliberately trying to fail me….but I don’t have a choice other than accepting this duel} Jason thought.

[yes, that is Ok] Jason replied.

[alright then, let us start. Attack me] Theo folded his hand and stood in front of Jason.

{alright here we go, it is going to be very hard…but I can do this..I have a enough of fighting experience with Adriel.} Jason thought and increased his divinity circulation.

He gathered some divinity in his hands and legs and dashed towards Theo. He was aiming for Theo’s chest

[too slow…]

Jason suddenly felt intense pain in his abdomen. Even before he could understand he was kicked in the stomach by Theo. After receiving that blow Jason was thrown away for a very long distance.

[arghhh….]

[don’t tell me that is enough to take you down…..] Even before Theo could finish his sentence he was attacked again by Jason. This time he was aiming for his face but Theo already saw though that attack and dodged that punch…but it seemed this time Jason was also prepared even though Jason was in the air he threw a kick at Theo’s face.

[husshh.. that was close, it looks like Adriel trained you very well.] he replied charged towards Jason who just landed.

{urghh where is he??...he disappeared …nope he is behind me….shit I won’t be able to dodge it..}Jason thought when he saw a punch coming towards him. Jason increased his divinity in his head just so he could minimize the damage.

Bamm!! Jason took direct blow on his face…even after increasing divinity circulation in his face area…his nose was broken. He almost fainted by just one punch.

{urghhh….he is definitely trying to kill me..} Jason was again thrown away.

{this way I am not going lost for long…I need to increase the amount of circulation even if my body has the risk of exploding. I have to win this duel….I can't let God and Adriel down..i'll just increase it just for a moment} Jason thought and closed his eyes. He started gradually increasing his divinity.

[Lord Jason, do you have a death wish….your frail body will not survive that kind of power…] Theo saw that Jason was increasing his divinity, he was surprised to see Jason’s determination.

{he is persistent….he knows he can’t defeat me but he still trying, he is not even afraid of what will happen to his body…..I can’t let hi….}

Woosh!!..Jason suddenly disappeared.

[where did he go?? Is he using flash steps..but when I saw his stats earlier he didnt have that art...don't tell me he just learned that just by looking at me..…Bam!!] while Theo was talking he was sudden blow landed on his face…. he was thrown away a long distance.

{urrgh…..it think I increased it too much.}

[Arrrgghhhh…] Jason increased too much divinity….his body also couldn’t handle it. Due to sudden energy overload his skin started to peel off. Even the bones of hand with which he hit Theo also shattered. Jason fell down…he couldn’t handle the pain. He felt like his whole body was burning

Theo got up. He was still in shock of that blow.

{looks like he won, I know now that he was the right choice..}

[I….won..] Jason who was still on the floor said in groaning voice and he fainted.

Theo got up and went near Jason. He picked him up and went back in his office.

{you did well my lord, please forgive me for doubting you but I had no other choice but to test you like this….. because the upcoming battles that you have to fight are going to be way harder than this.} Theo put Jason in the couch in his office. His skin was already getting healed.

[his healing abilities are really good. All the small bruises are already healed…looks like he just needs some rest.] Theo said and sat on his chair.

{looks like choosing him was the right choice afterall…}

After 15 hours,

[aree…..where am I? did I faint again…? Oh right I was fighting theo..] Jason opened his eyes.

[My lord, you are awake….please forgive me for my shameful behavior earlier, my lord] Jason saw Theo kneeling down before him

[That’s right, you should kneel down and beg for his forgiveness after what you did, you old geezer.] Adriel who was just standing beside Theo said.

[I am doing it, you demons and who are you calling old geezer…!!] Theo was annoyed.

[oye, who are you calling Demon huh…] suddenly Jason could feel killing intent from Adriel.

{obviously he is calling you a demon….} Jason thought.

[It’s ok, director] Jason said.

After hearing Jason’s voice both of them calmed down.
