The Villain's Story

Chapter 163 [163]The Two Who Worked The Hardest.

"..."

Alex sat down on the bench as he processed what had happened.

I...actually beat Kyle.

I did it.

The fight was so fast that he didn't realize he beat Kyle at all...and also something else which disturbed his thoughts.

....why am I friends with those two idiots?

...

...

...

Alex lowered his head when he thought of what just happened, and then his embarrassment reached new levels.

And on top of it, he had joined in on the bickering later and was now also in detention.

He asked himself multiple times why he had done so...

And then he concluded.

Those two fucking idiots know how to drag someone else into their vibe.

Or maybe it was just him.

But hey, there's still one good piece of news.

He is now the rank 6 student, replacing Kyle, who is now rank 7.

Nice, it must be for him...

IF ONLY THE DAMN BICKERING DIDNT HAPPEN BETWEEN THE THREE OF THEM.

****

Lucas stood in front of his opponent, a student who wished to dethrone him.

Before his fight with Alan Peccator, he would have to fight off the idiots that wanted to take his spot as rank 4.

His opponent, student rank 13, was a handsome young man with golden hair and eyes, reminiscent of Lightning.

His name was Frederick Volta, and his name really fitted his affinity and appearance.

"Begin."

The instructor began the fight, and Lucas was now facing dozens of lightning arrows fired by Frederick.

"Take this!"

At first, Lucas wondered.

Is this guy a fucking idiot?

What kind of lightning attribute awakened challenges an earth attribute awakened?

At first, Lucas thought maybe he had a trump card, but no.

The man thought he could beat Lucas even though he was at an elemental disadvantage.

Lucas simply conjured an armor of Earth around his body, a peculiar. type of armor that covered his entire body, encasing him in the earth.

If one wondered how he could move, his feet were sticking to the earth.

All he needed to do was slide by controlling the Earth to make him move.

And he did just that.

He moved his body like a ram and made his way towards Frederick whilst being encased in the armor of earth.

The lightning arrows and all other lightning skills Frederick had were useless against his armor.

And then, Lucas Rammed into the poor boy, making the area between his legs spikier than usual.

And after that, all that was heard were Fredericks's blood-curdling screams.

****

Most of the battles had ended similarly.

Most students who challenged the top 10 had been destroyed.

The only exception was Alexander, who destroyed Kyle instead.

He was the only one who made the feat of beating a top-ten student possible.

The others were defeated using the most humiliating ways possible.

For Elaine, she bombarded her challengers with flashbangs and then hit them with swords of light.

Olivia used pure skill with her rapier to do it.

Serena put them in an illusion where they thought they were fighting her but then went out of bounds unknowingly.

Sabrina just fried the living heck out of her opponents with Lightning.

Lucas beat the shit out of them, whilst targeting a specific area.

Henry ended his fights pretty quickly by firing strong arrows of wind that chased his opponents until they hit.

Elijah, although he still beat the guys that challenged him, didnt humiliate them like the others.

Alan on the other hand, still had his fights remaining.

And currently, he was fighting one opponent.

Thomas Arden.

Alan didnt want to admit it, but he wanted to fight Elijah instead.

Problem was, he misread Arden as Ardor.

And so he was stuck in this situation.

"I'll show them all your nothing!"

Oh and to mention, his opponent was also a blabbermouth.

He spoke shit.

"Be fearful of these Muscles!"

He said, and his body began to Enlarge.

He was using a skill called Body Modification, which used mana to build temporary muscles.

It was clear he was a melee fighter.

And then, the instructor began the fight.

Thomas Arden rushed towards him, and raised his hands high up in the air, clasped them, and brought them down and intending to crush Alan.

He was a giant currently and honestly it looked like he could crush his opponent.

If his opponent wasn't Alan Peccator that is.

Alan simply raised one hand and then grabbed those two large hands.

"What?!"

Thomas gasped in shock, before screaming at the top of his lungs.

*Crack!*

"AHHH!"

Fake muscles made by mana couldn't compete with Alan's.

Even though they were made by the power of the Phoenix, they were still much denser and stronger than those made by a skill.

And Alan showed that they were.

He completely shattered his opponent's hands.

"I SURRENDER!"

And his fight ended like that.

And then came time for his second one.

With someone random he picked

Emily Smith is a girl who used the element of fire.

She stepped up on the stage, whilst her orange hair made her the attention of many.

If only Sabrina wasn't around that is.

She still attracted everyone's attention.

Emily was beautiful but didnt hold a candle to Sabrina.

She stepped on the stage with confidence.

"I'll be ranked 1 from today."

She seemed rather far too confident.

The instructor began the fight, and people soon found the reason for her confidence.

"Have a taste of a C-rank skill!"

[Flame Tigress has been activated.]

A giant tiger made of flame materialized and ran toward Alan.

The people were shocked at the sight.

Was she planning to kill herself?

She couldn't handle the aftereffects that were for sure.

And sure enough, she was coughing up blood.

But she still held a smile even though it was bloody.

*BOOM!*

The tiger of flame had jumped on Alan and exploded into a large explosion.

Emily waited for the instructor to announce her win.

...

...

...

Why isn't he announcing my win?!

I'm dying over here!

But unfortunately, horror filled her eyes as she saw her opponent who was supposed to be burnt to a crisp, despite being C rank, walk out of the flames nonchalantly.

Impossible...even C ranks cant survive that...

There was a reason the skill was renowned, and why its drawback was so much.

A B rank would have a hard time surviving it, not to mention a C rank?!

But unfortunately, she wouldn't know how Alan survived it.

She passed out soon after.

And Alan won by default

***

...

...

...

Seriously?

Why use a skill you can't handle?

And definitely more so against me?

Is she stupid?

Or did she wholeheartedly believe that she could last until I was knocked out by the skill?

It didn't even hurt me that much.

Oh well, at least I didnt have to do anything.

Lucas is the only one left.

And I have to give him a good beating if I want to get tutored by the smartest student in Shield.

That is my only hope of passing the exams.

And I am actually looking forward to this.

Maybe becoming a student of the sword saint changed him, but he improved as a person.

He didn't bother Sabrina anymore, made my job easier, and didn't act like a pervert.

And he was also the one that worked the hardest, even including me.

This will be a fun fight.

A fight between the two students of the sword saint who trained the hardest.

This will be a very fun fight!
