My Triling System

Chapter 119: A promise

The items that were said to be the reward for the match were too attractive to ignore. Everyone knew about the importance of having such an expensive, high-quality flying broomstick, and wand and also becoming the school prefect.

All student wizards are required to buy the flying broomstick and magic wand once they reach the third year which is now called class C.

Even not all of the wizard teachers have something as expensive as these. It would make a teacher kill his friends just to have it. And that was what Sophia was hoping for.

She knew her son had always wanted to have something like this for his new spell lesson since he dabbles a lot in his magic.

And she knew Max would do anything to have it. He won't care about the person in front of him. He had done something similar to this before and Sophia did not doubt that he would do the same.

Since he killed his closest friend because of his ex-girlfriend, who is now late, she knew that his son was capable of doing something like that again.

But what Sophia didn't realize was that her son didn't kill his best friend who was Graham, he fooled her by cutting off the head of another person since she didn't recognize Graham. He wasn't heartless like his mother, Sophia. Although she wasn't like this before, she only became crueler after leaving the city of light and wanted nothing but revenge on Pretta and all light creatures.

On the day Max was supposed to kill his best friend for murdering his girlfriend, her mother promised to award him with different things only if he have his revenge on Graham and bring forth his head.

Max wanted that reward so badly but he couldn't cut off the head of his best friend. So he came up with a plan of slaughtering someone similar to Graham. In the end, Sophia didn't Suspect that her son fooled her, even to this moment.

But that case is far different from the one in front of Max presently.

He can't fool his mother or anyone and he had to fight this girl no matter what.

'Shit! I hate my mother!' Max cursed within himself as he glared at Azura who was keen and ready to clash with Max at any time. She wasn't concerned by anything since she knew she could defeat him with the combination of her multiple magics.

But Kevin was concerned for Azura not to reveal her identity or she might be killed if caught to be a beast. Kevin needed to do something fast to stop Azura from fighting at all. But what can he do?

Sophia had a sinister smile on her face as she noticed the sad and worried look on her son's face. She had him trapped with two options, it's time for him to choose the one he wishes.

"Sophia, I've been thinking, what if the girl didn't cheat and defeated Max, will you give her those expensive items?" Pretta asked Sophia.

"What kind of question is that, Pretta? Of course, I will give her, as long as she's able to defeat my son, then I'll believe that she didn't cheat when she fought Jeri." Sophia replied, Loud and clear for everyone to hear. That was when those who didn't know that Max was Sophia's son realized that they were blood-related.

"Then this is a promise from Sophia and me. I will award five additional spell books to whosoever wins the match. If any among the two of us, fails to fulfill this promise, they shall be met with the wrath of the death bat." Pretta said swearing in front of everyone.

She knew what Sophia could and could not do. She may not fulfill her promise and end up giving different excuses which would be hard to argue against. It is not the first or third time Sophia would do something like this. She didn't give any reward even to this hour.

"Why do you have to swear a promise oath in front of the students?" Sophia grinned at her.

"I may be silent since morning but that doesn't mean I can't talk when I'm supposed to, or act when I'm supposed to act. Pretta started speaking. "I understand that you hate me for what I did, but you should understand that it wasn't my fault, it was meant to be that way just as my daughter saw in the vision. So I'm not guilty of anything whatsoever. I will train these students and among them will a hero arise and retrieve the bloodstone for us. Until then, you can hate me as much as you like. I don't care."

Pretta voiced out and everyone including Kevin could hear her words clearly. But this question keeps on lurking inside everyone's mind, does Pretta has something to do with the bloodstone that was stolen by the Vampires?

"Then have it your way then," Sophia replied before turning to face the students and the two contestants. "Now that you've heard Dean Pretta, both of us will be awarding the winners of this match and I'm very sure the dark school will win. Am I right Max?" She tossed the question to her son, who fidgeted with fear as he heard his name called by someone.

"Y-yes." He replied shakingly. There's nothing to do with this, he must win against Azura at all costs if he wants to stay as Sophia's son. A defeat from Azura might result in his mother killing him.

"And let the fight begin!" She announced.

"No! Not yet!" Kevin shouted as he approached Azura and Max.

He had come up with a brilliant idea on how to stop Azura from fighting Max.

"Who is that guy?" Several students started murmuring but they soon recalled that he was the guy who came late to the hall and claimed that Azura was his maid.

"What do you mean not yet?" Sophia asked.
