Chapter 160 A huge pressure
"My name is Athena Schwarzkopf, and I'll be your teacher from now on," she announced, making it clear that there was no room for doubt or insubordination in her class, and with those words, the pressure on us increased even more.
"We're off to a good start to the academic year," Anthony cursed inwardly.
The pressure in the room gradually increased, initially bearable for everyone present. However, as minutes passed, it became increasingly unbearable. Those wielding weapons covered their bodies with a protective aura, while the mages invoked their mana to defend themselves. Despite their efforts, the pressure continued to intensify, surpassing the resistance limits of many.
Over time, some students couldn't bear it anymore and fell unconscious, overwhelmed by the crushing force filling the room. The smile on Professor Athena's face was charming, but to the students, it seemed like the smile of the devil, heralding their inevitable defeat against the overwhelming pressure.
Then, in a decisive moment, Professor Athena snapped her fingers, and the unconscious students were transported behind her. As soon as they arrived there, they instantly woke up, finding themselves free from the suffocating pressure that had overwhelmed their bodies.
Behind the professor, there was no trace of the oppression that had been weighing them down moments before, leaving them amazed and bewildered by her ability to control the situation with such mastery.
The expressions of the students changed drastically as they saw their classmates in front of them, struggling with furrowed brows as they attempted to shield themselves from the overwhelming pressure falling on their shoulders. With each passing minute, more and more students fell unconscious on their desks, unable to withstand the relentless burden weighing upon them.

Observing the deranged yet triumphant expression of the professor, Anthony understood that she was evaluating her students, determining who were the most fit to face the challenges that awaited them. Depending on the result, she would act accordingly, adapting to the information she had gathered throughout this endurance test.
Anthony noticed that Edward and Ezequiel were the only ones left beside him, facing the pressure with determination. At that moment, he realized that this was a battle of wills, a struggle to prove who was the strongest and who had the strength necessary to triumph.
As the minutes went by, the burden on Anthony's shoulders shifted from feeling like a mountain to feeling like the weight of the entire world. His bones creaked under the immense pressure, but gritting his teeth, he refused to yield to the pain. With a superhuman effort, he released his aura, enveloping his body in a protective energy.
Almost simultaneously, Edward and Ezequiel also released their auras, forming a triad of power that fought to resist the oppression imposed by Professor Athena. Edward's aura glowed with a dark orange hue, while Ezequiel's radiated a golden glow. The professor's smile widened even more, and her eyes sparkled with an intensity that seemed to emulate small stars in the darkness.
Suddenly, in an instant, the pressure increased abruptly, as if multiplying a thousandfold in the blink of an eye. Anthony felt his bones dislocating in his shoulders, and a scream of pain threatened to escape his lips. However, in the midst of his agony, he held fast to his determination, refusing to give in to the relentless pressure enveloping him.
With a superhuman effort, he increased even more the amount of aura emanating from his body. Black flames emerged from his being, shining brightly in the darkness like a beacon of resistance. The part of the room where Anthony was standing became as dark as the night, shrouded in a mantle of power that defied the oppression surrounding them.
Edward and Ezequiel followed his example, infusing their auras with dark orange and golden colors, the two colors contrasting with Anthony's dark aura. The three auras intertwined in a dance of strength, fighting against the pressure exerted by Professor Atena. Her silver aura shimmered with a dazzling intensity.
As the minutes passed, Anthony spat a mouthful of blood from his mouth, which was black in color. The three students were at their limit, the pressure increasing to the level of a Maximum-Fallen rank creature. Anthony's bones were breaking under the immense pressure, his eyes were bloodshot. Just when he felt he couldn't take it anymore, the enormous pressure disappeared from his shoulders.
