9 Undeserved Revenge

"Ah damn," Yaseang realized something as he sat to meditate. He could still make it to the tournament if he rushed "Can I like continue this in an hour?" standing up he inquired.

"You can… Only if you do three times the training we do here today" Ciobara replied without breaking her stance or concentration

Relieved at those words finding his queue he left and rushed towards the Arena where the duel was to be held.

~Yaseang's POV~

Although I was interested in becoming a dual-class berserker. I also did not want to miss the final duel between top students. Especially since one of them was a berserker with the title of the <First Seat>, <The Mad Princess>, and <Seamless Surge Storm>.

I was late, I knew but I thought I could still make it since the duel didn't even start when we passed the arena a few minutes ago.

But I could not be more wrong, as what I saw shocked me to the core when I finally made it to the arena.

The scene in front of me was too unbelievable as the one I never imagined winning was standing with his scythe near the face of the fallen lady Stacia.

He raised it back putting it back into his bag and strode toward her when he got close enough, he kicked her in the stomach making her spew blood but, lady Stacia did not say the words to give up.

It did look like she was trying but each time the words made their way to her mouth he would make her spew blood again.

"How dare you humiliate the great me for 2 whole fucking years YOU BITCH" he shouted as he kicked her again

I was so mad I almost ran to the arena to stop it but a stronger student stopped me. Reminding me how I didn't stand a chance.

But I didn't care I pushed them and ran toward the arena but

[Floral Bind]

Different sorts of vines sprouted from the earth and bound me hard. "Don't be an idiot he would kill you can't you see the madness in his eyes" a third-year mage student who had cast the spell scolded me with a stern expression

"Look teachers would stop the madness, believe in the academy we already asked for stronger teachers" he stated calming me down but I still wanted to go.

"Listen up! I know you're here. O creature of darkness! bless me with your power or my lord shall find you." Renard shouted towards the audience but to no avail. The only reply he got was complete silence.

After waiting for 2 more minutes he continued, "I know you're hiding somewhere in this academy. I will return for you." walking towards Lady Stacia, holding her throat he picked her up, while darkness soon enveloped both of them.

Both of them disappeared from Arena "Damn it, we are late." One of the teachers said as they only caught air when they reached there.

"Everyone returns to your dorms. You will later be called to the teacher's office for inquiry about what happened here" the teacher holding his beard announced while they sealed the arena once everyone was out.

I could still not make sense of anything when I exited the arena so I stopped a student

"Hey, can you tell me what exactly happened? I kind of reached there late. How could lady Stacia lose to an Assassin in close combat"

"Why should I tell you?" the student snickered at him and moved away

"What the hell? Hey! Stop! How about I pay you with a hundred credits" I shouted at him I was too curious to let go

"200 credits" "deal"

'I should have asked for more' the boy thought to himself

"The duel was held a few minutes ago as they appeared…" the student started to explain after taking me to a side alley

~ a few minutes ago, ~

The arena was filled to the brim even before the duel began people were waiting for both the participants to arrive the first one to arrive was Lady Stacia.

Stacia Von Estrada the princess of the Estrada Kingdom was the most beautiful student in the academy.

Her silky blonde hair and her firm confident eyes exuded an irresistible charm. Her ruby lips left no room for reason. She had a frame suiting a 16-year-old girl.

She was a little taller than average height. The silver armor she wore just added to her charm. It was as if a goddess had graced the mortal world with her presence.

A frown could be seen on her face which made her look cuter.

Suddenly a dagger was thrown her way which due to her lightning-fast reflexes she deflected easily while a black figure jumped into the arena standing opposite to her.

"It's not amusing anymore. Ambushing with a dagger to announce your presence, Renard"

The figure in black rogue robes shrugged at the remark and disappeared this was the signal for battle to begin.

Stacia parried every strike as if she could see the invisible figure no matter the angle he jumped in while he also managed to block her every strike the exchange continued for a while

But suddenly Stacia grabbed her sword handle with both her hands while a reddish aura unique to Berserkers enveloped her, she got into a stance as if she was going to do a vertical strike as lightning enveloped her and rotated 360 degrees at a maddening speed.

Her sword which was about three times her size hit Renard like a cricket bat hitting the ball for a sixer and he almost got thrown out of arena bounds managing to stop himself while digging the arena floor with his daggers.

An evil look appeared in his eyes as Renard disappeared once more this time it wasn't the daggers that appeared but ten dark arrows that shot from ten different angles

Stacia managed to doge two and break seven of them but the tenth hit her suddenly the whole arena was covered by darkness no one could see what was going on.

Once it cleared, Renard was seen holding another weapon, a scythe near Stacia's face.

~back to the present and 3rd person POV~

The student finished narrating the whole fight before Yaseang arrived and received his credits while Mr. Saja was left pondering

"So, that's what happened that Renard guy cheated" he hit his palm with a fist as realization dawned upon him.

'I wish I was there and watched the whole fight' leaving toward the rented training room he thought to himself

"I'm back!" Yaseang announced his arrival which was met with silence and the girls were both meditating

"Never mind" sighing he also sat and started to train his control over mana as well

After two more hours, Ciobara concluded her training while Asa had finished earlier and was waiting for her to finish "Let's go" Ciobara said as she got ready to leave "What about him?" Asa asked with concern

"He still needs a few hours of meditation. Let's go also, he's strong don't worry" Ciobara replied with a teasing smile

"Stop it! I KNOW" Asa shouted back blushing at the tease.

On the way back, they separated as Ciobara still wanted to give the library a visit and Asa headed towards the café.

While she was on her way to the library, Ciobara encountered an unfamiliar teacher in the hallway who looked like he was waiting for someone.

When he spotted the young girl coming his way, the teacher immediately approached her and spoke.

"Miss Ciobara! Please come to my office"
