QT: Against My Will

Chapter 422

422 7.46 – School’s Rankings Before Bing Shi Did The Ordeal – War Of The Wickeds

The arena for the ordeal was built underground the school – based on a randomly generated land, its terrain would be changed twice a year, constructed from the information gathered outside of the walls.

This world was home to an endless variety of deadly beasts and plants. The most powerful of them were the mysterious mythical beasts, which could mimic the surrounding vegetation and invoke a special kind of horror. They would never show up unless provoked or hungry.

Those with a pure god’s soul like Bing Shi and Stinky Bun had gone extinct in this world due to being those mythical beast’s favourite source of nutrients (it was also one of the reasons why Bing Shi’s godhood was being suppressed by Xuan Mu).

To preserve, the gods had to adapt; a protective wall was built and a special species came into existence – a mixture of humans, beasts, and gods with otherworldly beauty and powers: the alphas and omegas.

Due to safety reasons, only low and basic rank beasts would be captured by the LAD and brought back to the arena.

Reaching the underground tunnel, Bing Shi had been binge-watching this tournament whenever she had the time for it, and she could understand why it was so popular. The previous ordeals were available for the students as learning material. She turned on her phone to go through the school site to check the current rankings. Someone from the A-class had already taken over Silvia’s 23rd place.

|”Aren’t you tired? Shall I try to suppress my godhood too?”|

|I barely use any powers as long as you don’t show up in your true form.|

Following behind Bing Shi, Ziek accompanied her to the waiting area. Arranged omegas were considered as bed warmers, not regular students. She said she would persuade her team of random students into accepting him without protest – without him needing to kick anyone’s ass and he wanted to witness it personally. For whatever reasons, she decided to save his energy as much as possible.

Everyone kept their silence as their eyes assessed everyone around. From watching the ordeals and going through some themselves, they knew which things to pursue and which to avoid. Carrying ambitious hearts, most sought glory and fame.

Though Silvia was considered the highest rank in their group, they couldn’t imagine her in a leading position. She was a support that needed others’ protection, not someone that could give out commands. Their eyes didn’t even stop by Ezikiel, and automatically landed on Liam.

Words couldn’t describe the sudden surge of joy that burst through Liam when he spotted Silvia. Her abilities were a great asset to the team, “Babe, what are you doing here?”

Ziek cracked his fingers as if possessed by an urge to drill a hole in someone’s head. Babe? Did that pig cunt just call his wife ‘Babe’?

Before Liam could be all touchy with Bing Shi, she threw her walking crane into the air and grabbed the shaft, pressing the handle against Liam’s chest with a pumped-up smile, “I’m here to boost everyone’s ranks. Listen, I just came up with a few funny ideas, let me know which one you like the most.”

The students gave Silvia keen eyes and levelled stares, challenging but willing to hear her out.

Tilting his head down, Ziek ground his teeth and balled his fists. She had the most contagious laugh you would ever have a pleasure to hear; one of the most attractive personalities you would ever come across, and eyes that could playfully convince you that whatever she was saying was written in stone.

It was a great ‘power’, and she ‘always’ wielded it with great responsibility. If she called them up right now and told them that they were robbing a bank or burning down the school, people would start to cut in line to take over the position of the second in command. It wouldn’t be because they had suddenly lost their minds, but because she’d probably tell it to them with that jolly laugh of hers that could make everything sound like a million bucks.

Liam’s heart skipped and dryness formed in his throat, having a hard time breathing when soft muttering broke out among the students. Their phones received a video of Silvia trying to seduce Damon like a cheap slut by a road, and how embarrassed she ended up from the brutal rejection.

“Does Liam really like that whore?” Whispering to themselves, their accepting glances suddenly turned hostile and the initial instincts that told them to follow her evaporated. How could they act blindly against so much evidence that spoke about her sins? They saw Silvia’s innocent yet alluring beauty as every alpha’s weakness and other people’s nightmare: A man-eater; a man destroyer (man as in all genders).

Her husband’s actions suddenly left Bing Shi intimidated and slightly frightened. She abruptly felt no hate nor disgust from the surrounding souls, only a massive flow of love. Looking at her right then at her left, she could feel his intense stare from more than one person – he took control over everyone’s bodies as if saying: I’ve got your back.

|”This is my forte. Didn’t I tell you to save your powers for when they will be truly needed?|

|I just thought of saying ‘I love you’ in a very wasteful way. Blame me however much you want, but I regret nothing.|

Bing Shi harshly brushed her knuckles against her eyes, stopping herself from giggling like a little girl. His provocatively seductive move made her want to waste lots of her energy on a new way of saying ‘I love you’ too.

The comfort Liam promised to give Silvia was forgotten the moment everyone began to accuse her of being a whore who would spread her legs for every powerful man. He took a step away from the girl before him, lifting his phone, “What do you have to say about this?”

Bing Shi rubbed the handle against Liam’s chest a few times as if saying she was sorry, tempting him with the non-contact touch, “I’m glad men like sir Carnifex still exist in this world. His love for my little brother seems genuine. I’m no longer worried about him staying by Riley’s side.”

Silvia didn’t bury her face in Liam’s chest with tears in her ears, begging him to trust her innocence, which could always trigger his protective instincts. She remained coldly focused like a cobra.

How benevolent of Silvia to risk her image for the sake of her brother! People started to wonder if the culprit behind the camera, who would always slander Silvia LeClére, was the one and the same person.

Bing Shi could take advantage of Liam’s guilt of doubting her and pretend to walk away and let him chase her to add some drama, but she turned her body in Ezikiel’s direction instead, “I hereby declare that Ezikiel Macmoriss, is officially, no longer Damon Carnifex’s arranged omega! Ezikiel will participate in this ordeal like a regular student, and whoever doesn’t want this key to glorious success in our team, step forward!”
