In front of the hotel that's used to accommodate the Hunters in Russia, the S-Ranks and National Level Hunters are gathering around Thomas and Yuri Orloff.
They are getting ready to watch the show. Thomas has asked Yuri to show his Barrier Magic so it can be tested.
Of course, Thomas won't say it nicely. He provoked Yuri by saying that they can't trust a barrier made by a 'mere' S-Rank as it might break instantly when the monsters pour out of the dungeon.
Yuri gets provoked easily because of his arrogance and overconfidence of his barrier. Though he also sets up a condition. He needs to use a lot of magic crystals to supply his barrier's energy.
His barrier magic will get stronger by absorbing the magic power from its surroundings. That's why he is very confident that when the S-Rank Gaye breaks, his barrier will become very powerful from the magic power that pours out of the Gate.
It just makes Thomas look down on his barrier even more because Indra's barrier never needs to borrow energy from outside. His barrier's power is purely from his magic power.
Still, Thomas doesn't want Yuri to make any excuses later, so he allows Yuri to use as much magic power as he wants.
The Russian Government has prepared tons of magic crystals because they know how Yuri's Barrier Magic works.
So they allow him to use a lot of them to demonstrate his Barrier Magic's power. After all, they know they can't provoke the National Level Hunters who seem to doubt Yuri's barrier.
It's also a good chance for them to see if Yuri's barrier will be strong enough to hold off the S-Rank monsters because the National Level Hunters surely will know if it's strong enough or not with their experience clearing an S-Rank Gate.
Yuri sets up the barrier after dumping tons of Magic Crystals around him. He doesn't make it too big. It's diameter is just 3 meters, but it's big enough as a punching target.
Of course, a smaller barrier will use less magic power to make. But he uses his full power and the small barrier even absorbs the magic power from the magic crystals around it, making it much sturdier.
"Is it ready now?"
"You can go anytime."
Both of them are confident in their own power, so they smirk arrogantly. Other Hunters think both of them are just the same. But they are anticipating the result of this quarrel.
Thomas stands in front of the barrier and powers up his body with his magic power. Then he sends a very powerful punch that creates a very powerful shockwave.
Everyone can feel the vibration from the punch. The ground where Thomas stands even dents and cracks. Even the glass windows on the surrounding buildings are shattered because of the impact.
Thomas and the National Level Hunters are surprised to see the barrier is fine. It really is a good barrier as it can withstand Thomas's punch without any damage.
