Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

Chapter 246  2 vs 10

246  2 vs 10

Few minutes ago, when everyone  inside was talking about the absurd combination of students that appeared for the final test, the professors outside were equally surprised too. They turned towards the woman who was responsible for this and couldn't help but ask for confirmation.

"It's not fair to pit him against all of them like this, you know?" Professor Harkin said.

"If he wins, it'll break everyone else's confidence. And if he loses, he won't participate in the second stage. That's just not fair, right." Professor Freya also chimed in.

"The students of Zenith aren't so weak minded to be stumped by just these little setbacks, Professor Osborn. You're underestimating them." Professor Mythila said, as she was also curious about the result.

"What's the point of even arguing, it's just a normal evaluation test. We already saw how everyone else was trying hard past two matches, while this guy's just been breezing through everyone. With this combination we can just evaluate him better." Professor Arabella said, after getting the confirmation from Loki that she did good.

"And he's not alone, I gave him another ranker, didn't I? With this set up, we should actually see some fights instead of just a one shot kill." Arabella said, with a charming smile, as her enchanting eyes swiped at the projection screen.

 'Show me a good show, Hela's chosen' she thought, looking at Rio.

"What's the barrier output this time?" Professor Freya asked, changing the topic. Anyway, the match already started so what's the point of pointing fingers now. She'll just have to keep a better eye on this trickster next time.

"About B rank. Even if he attacks with full power now, it should last a while this time." Jorvik said, after adjusting the power levels for everyone.

In the test arena

"This is gonna be fun." Rio said as he just walked out of his base, but found Amelia, Rebecca, Pshinta, Alaric, Leon and Nicole standing there, already waiting for him.

"Four of them are not here. Do you think they're defending their base or_ " Katherine asked while looking back at their own base, to see if someone attacked there. She pulled the second sword out from her waist, and readied her stance.

"Who cares." Rio replied, as he directly charged forward. In the middle of the way before he reached the opposite team, his figure disappeared in thin air, confusing everyone. Until they heard a loud sound of metal clashing from their side.

"Defeat the ones who know your methods first." Amelia said as she pulled back her sword and stepped back. "It won't work. Change your tricks, brother."

"I already did." Rio said, as his figure disappeared again and appeared beside Nicole, the girl who was in his team for the last match.

"Look out" Rebecca shouted as she sent an arc of water towards her, while Pshinta started flying towards him like an arrow. But before both of them could reach him, Rio slashed his sword at Nicole's neck. A red light glowed near her, and then her figure disappeared in tiny particles.

"Five to go." Rio said, as he jumped up to a tree, when Pshinta controlled his element to shoot tree wines to bind him.

Rio looked below and noticed Katherine fighting with Alaric and Rebecca. Both of them were tough opponents and she was having a hard time, but he was sure she could hold them off for a while.

So he ignored them.

He looked at Leon who was preparing a big spell, as a golden fireball was floating above his head.

'So he taught you this huh' Rio said to himself as he remembered about the spell.

Dawn's blessing, a spell used by Apollo's followers. Which can reduce damage to allies and boost their skills for a limited duration. While creating a radiant light in the area which has an extra effect to suppress dark magic or dark elementals.

Rio charged his sword with aura and sent an arc to cut the golden sun in two. But before it could hit Leon's spell, a crack appeared in space and the attack was pulled in.

Rio jumped away from his position instantly, and just the next moment the tree he was standing on was chopped in two.

 "You should change your tricks too Ames." Rio said and waved his hand, as roots shot out from the ground, binding Leon, interrupting his chant.

But the moment the roots tightened around Leon, his figure disappeared and water splashed everywhere.

'She's getting better' Rio thought, as he saw Rebecca smirking from the side.

His attack failed and only ended up hitting a mirage she created beforehand.

"You shouldn't look away in a fight." Katherine said, as she moved at high speed, slashing her sword at Rebecca's neck, but Rebecca managed to dodge.

But not entirely, as a shallow cut was there on her shoulders, and red light was shining there.

Rio looked upwards where the golden sun was still getting bigger and bigger slowly and was about to take complete form.

"You're gonna lose, brother." Amelia said, as she made a few invisible daggers floating behind him. Ready to escape their portals and attack him at her signal.

While Rio moved towards the golden sun to disrupt Leon's spell, Amelia appeared in front of him, stopping him.

While Rio was dealing with her, Pshinta came from the side. His speed was hard to notice, as his feet made no sound in the forest. Yet before their attacks could land, Rio's figure melted in his shadow, and he disappeared from the area.

Chains made of darkness rose from the ground and started moving towards the golden son. Binding it from all sides.

The cracking sizzling sound was echoing in the vicinity, but there was no sign of Rio.

Until suddenly with a loud boom a figure crashed into the ground, creating a big crater and sending dust and debris everywhere.

-cough cough -

Leon coughed and stood up from the ground and looked at his spell, which was finished. But instead of happiness, his brows furrowed in confusion, as he saw the golden sun was fully covered in black chains and soon all the light of it was surrounded by darkness.

 It was like the shining sun lost all its luster and was now turned into the dark moon.

"Give you back your spell." Rio said, as his figure appeared in the sky holding a chain attached with that dark moon. And with a pull he swung it down with a force. Smashing it over the figure of Leon.

Amelia created a small crack in the space behind him and was about to pull Leon away, when Rio appeared behind her and kicked her back. Disrupting her focus and the spatial crack.

Pshinta created lots of tree wines which rose from the ground and covered Leon, but the black moon smashed onto them, breaking everything.

Pshinta spat a mouthful of blood as he was injured slightly, but before he could notice, Rio's figure appeared behind him and kicked him in the back, sending him crashing into a tree.

"fuck" He cursed and used his last of mana to control flowers and leaves, so he wouldn't get hurt.

But sadly, before he could hit his cushion, a few icicles appeared behind him and pierced his back.

The red glow enveloped him and he disappeared from the match too.

 Katherine gave a nod to Rio, as she jumped high into the air, while turning the entire field near her into ice.

Leon's figure walked out from the crater, dusting his clothes. Looking around, two of their teammates were out. And it has just been 2 minutes yet. He took a deep breath and moved towards Katherine, hoping to defeat her first. His fire magic was the weakness for her ice magic, after all.

But he had just taken two steps out, when Rio's figure appeared in front of him and hit him in the head with the sword's hilt.

Amelia appeared behind her brother and kicked him. Sending his figure crashing forward into Leon.

But turning surprise into success, Rio turned his face mid air and kicked at Leon, while sending an arc of wind towards Amelia, which throwed the daggers she sent his way off course.

Leon felt his arms getting numb after blocking the hit on his chest. He turned to look at Rio, who ignored Amelia and directly went to the opposite side where Katherine was getting cornered.

Alaric, the vampire wolf hybrid, had just slashed at Katherine. Leaving a big injury on her hands. Rebecca took this chance and shot several water bullets to hit her. But when they were just about to hit Katherine, the shadow rose behind Katherine and pushed her away. Taking all the hits in her place.

"That's not how you do it Becca." Rio said and his figure appeared behind her and a sword slash came near her neck. At the last moment she used the last of her mana to push herself backward and create a water bubble around her. Which absorbed the attack.

She just gave him a proud smiling expression, that she survived his attack, when he pointed towards the side, where she saw Katherine slicing the head of Alaric, who was bound by chains made of darkness.

'Idiot. Can't he just hold on for a few seconds more.' Rebecca cursed Alaric as she stomped her feet in anger.

Rio and Katherine looked forward and saw Amelia, Rebecca and Leon standing opposite them. From the original 6 vs 2 to 3 vs 2 - this difference was too big. Every one of them was sweating and feeling tired, as they all used up most of their mana in this fight here alone. And didn't hold back at all.

Leon, who was covered in dust, wiped the blood marks near his face and looked at Rio, who was just looking at him with a smile, as if taunting him.

"Don't stare at my shadow too much" A voice suddenly sounded behind Leon, as the Rio's figure he was looking at disappeared in a puff of smoke. And before Leon could turn back, a kick landed on his back, throwing him forward. Where Katherine appeared with a sword in her hand, ready to slice his head off.
