It only took minutes for Vincent and Sophia to arrive at the Academy. And just like before, it was so crowded and they are escorted by a lot of police vehicles. The other nobles are also behind them. They parked in front of the school gate and everyone just gave way for the nobles to walk in. Reporters and photographers are also-ran there to feature the return of the nobles who went into training. But their eyes were targeting Vincent Miles. He is the most controversial person today. People always talk about him and saying that he’s a real prodigy. There hasn’t been an information about him for a month since he was at the isolated country, Sasaki. But there’s n doubt in the reporters’ minds that Vincent has gained new strength and is about to get picked in the Showdown. Mac exited the vehicle and opened the door for his masters. Sophia, who still has a painful headache stepped out of the car and cameras started to
After announcing the participants, the cameras are only pointing at Vincent and Theodore. They are obviously the ones who the people want to fight. The most anticipated fight this year is the Theodore versus Vincent fight. But that fight would have to wait, as there’s a process that needs to be done in order for the two to have a battle. However, those who are besides these 2 are having this feeling that they shouldn’t be next to them. Even Sophia’s hangover disappeared just by stand with these two powerhouses. Champ, who is obviously the weakest among this group of participants is now getting really, really nervous. But he stood his ground and remained composed. Vincent was trying to talk to him, but he isn’t paying attention. He made a promise that he will not talk to Vincent until he shows him what he’s capable of. Champ wants Vincent to see, that he will not remain in Vincent’s shadows. Champ also knows that the real rivals o
Sophia entered and the crowd went wild. This is the first fight, this will set up the mood for the next one, “The rules are simple. No weapons can be used against your opponent, if it maims that person. No maiming, fight a fair fight. To win, you must pin your opponent for at least 3 seconds. Okay?” says the referee. Eddie and Sophia nodded and shook hands. They then distanced themselves and stretched their limbs to not get injured. Well, they will still get injured since this is no joke. The clock ticks, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2…1. And the fight started. Sophia then tossed five steel objects and controlled it with her magnetism. The other steel follow and a steel club was made out of that. Eddie attacked Sophia and went behind her. He used his stealth ability to go undetected while aiming from behind. But since Sophia have battle senses, she just avoided it as she slides to her left. Eddie was about to punch Sophia hard when
The fight between John and Champ erupted. And just 5 minutes in the fight, Champ is already down for the third consecutive time. He was heated up and is full of blood. He can feel his ribs snap as the attacks of John are just overwhelmingly strong. It’s to be expected to the friend of Theodore. He’s fast, agile and smart in battle. John is now confused on why Champ is selected to participate when he can’t even land a solid hit. Champ’s form is all over the place. His balance while shooting powerful wind bullets is not that good either. He’s persistent, John has got to give him that. But he’s also annoying. He just keeps on getting back up despite being knocked out a couple of times. It was a one-sided match, and the crowd isn’t that excited about this. Faye couldn’t bare to even cheer Champ as she couldn’t even look at his condition right now. It was horrible. This is the first time she is seeing her boyfriend like this. She reme
The next one to fight is Theodore and a guy named Samuel from the Eastern Academy. It’s pretty much obvious what the outcome would be. But you never know. Unless the winner has been declared, the match isn’t over. The fight started and Theodore just set a new world record. People were left astonished by the fantastic finish. It was so close to impossible, that no one has ever tried to do it. The whole world is watching and they have witnessed the greatness of Theodore. He ended the fight before it even started. His opponent hasn’t even moved a single bit, and he’s already on the ground unconscious. Theodore dominated this match. He defeated his opponent in just 30 seconds. And he did that with only 4 solid attacks. Theodore walked out of the battleground and head to their locker. It’s now Vincent’s turn. He is up against a girl. But it wouldn’t let it drag him down in this battle. He put his sword at the bench since weapons that can kill ins
The match started with silence. No one was cheering nor talking. Everyone is just watching at the current match as it’ll be a massacre. Theodore and Vincent are without a doubt the strongest among all of the participants. They are the rivals in this year’s Showdown. And an injured like Champ is like a pebble that is meant to be stepped on. He’ll definitely get destroyed. But Champ, stood there with a serious and focused face. Since there was no much talking and cheering, Vincent can sense Faye. She was crying. Not that hard crying, but yes, she’s crying. She didn’t expect anything to end up like this” “Hey, Champ. We can-” “Shut up! Just fight me with all you’ve got!” Champ snapped. Vincent isn’t pitying him; he is just disappointed for some reason. He doesn’t understand what is happening, but he wants to put an end to Champ’s journey in this Showdown, because he doesn’t want to see him suffer like this anymore. Ch
Sophia is up against Michelle from the northern Academy. A girl-on-girl battle is enough to excite the audience. Everyone just cheered as the two participants entered the battleground. The winner of this match will be the one to face Vincent in the 3rd round. The fight started and crowd busted into cheers. Vincent was in the locker and was being treated by no one since he has advanced healing. He just washed his face that is covered in blood and changed his shirt. The bruises and wounds are still visible as Vincent prioritized some of his broken bones because it was the most painful part of healing his body. The bones getting fixed is just so painful that tears literally fall down his face. And the snapping sound it makes is just disgusting. After healing his bones, Vincent walked out of the room and went to the clinic. He wanted to see Champ and ask if he’s okay. He reached the clinic in just a few minutes. He opened the door and there sitting besides Champ who was
With Sophia winning the 2nd round, she just secured her and Vincent’s fight. It will be a bomb. Siblings fighting each other will amaze the audience. And this is the first time that two from the Miles Household are going to fight in the school Showdown. It has never happened before. There’s a lot of history making this year and Sophia glad to be part of it. She may not be the strongest in this event, but she is sure to be part of the books when it comes. Sophia will up against her brother and this is the first time that they’ll be squaring up. They fight and argue, yes, but fighting is one of the things they don’t do. It’s like they don’t want to hurt each other for some reason. But that doesn’t mean Sophia will go easy on him. She just hopes that Vincent wouldn’t hold back because they’re siblings. And for some idiotic reason, Sophia wants Vincent to do what he did to Angela back then. The rage, the all-out feeling, everything. She just wanted to fight Vincent in his ful
After putting Vincent down, he was struggling to catch his breath as his throat was nearly crushed by the strong grip of Ben. Victor, Violet and Diana went on to confront the other siblings especially Ben, but Alberto stopped them at once as he threatened them that the other nobles might hear them and take notice and that’ll be another controversy. Vincent and Jameson were spitting out blood. Vincent’s throat healed fast, but the pain was obviously still there. He sat up straight. And as sit, his chest throbbed and it was like his eyes pounded as his chest went to emit immense pain. It was the scars. But unlike any other pain experiences, this right now is the most painful Vincent has felt when his scars are throbbing. He clutched his chest and started to breathe heavily,“I- I didn’t kill her.” Gasped Vincent.Alberto sighed as that will trigger another conflict,“What did you just say?” Ben asked.Vince
Plague rose to his feet and then spat out blood as his wound on his chest started to smoke and heal,“That bastard. He covered his hostility so well that I didn’t even feel it until the last second. We have been had! Shit! Know where that bastard is going!” Plague yelled as the atmosphere in the area starts to intensify.Plague then went to his brother’s assistance as his right arm has been cut, and Plague then healed it, but unfortunately, he can’t regenerate it. It is because the attack was different, it has the intensity of a devil and the holiness of an angel. That is something that has never happened before. Both worlds colliding to create a powerful attack like that is not some kind of joke and this is the first time everyone has seen it. Which makes this upcoming battle more exciting. They have all seen a man wielding hundreds of blades before, but he himself holds a single type of blade. But not this guy,“Kendrick Griffin. You have carved your name in my mind. I promise to ki
Kendrick is now awake, and he is now preparing for another night in this vast and dangerous place. As he rose to his feet, the presence of vicious demons around them was the first thing he felt. It was an unpleasant feeling as he just woke up after a long fight last night, and now, it seems that nothing is over yet and nothing is sure as long as they stay in this place.“You guys, what have you—oh my! What the fuck happened?!” Kendrick snapped.He then looked around, as he made another mistake. Erika, Johnny, and Janella are now gone, and he doesn’t know where they went. He then tried to grab on the string that he attached to each and every one of them, but it was no use, the string has been severed, and he is the only attached to it.“Fuck!” Kendrick cursed as he thrashed around the camp in frustration.He blamed himself for what is happening, as if he didn’t sleep, the three might still be here. Kendrick felt lost and confused and frustrated. He sat on the ground just sighing hard a
After the decimation of the demons all over the city, except for the mutants, Kendrick and Johnny just stood there in disbelief. Kendrick and Tsukuyomi were still shaking for some reason,“There is no time to doze off! I’ll handle the mutants, Johnny, please go to Erika!” Kendrick ordered as he then ran towards the charging mutants.Johnny doesn’t want to get ordered by an 18-year-old kid, but since Kendrick has a point and the one who will help him get back to his village, he will let everything slide for now as he then went to run to Erika who is now collapsed on the store’s floor.“Hey! You, okay?!” Johnny rushed towards her and just laid her nicely so she can relax.“Y-Yeah. Just a bit *cough* exhausted. I have never released that much energy before, so, yeah, I am just fine.” Erika replied as she breathes heavily and then coughs.After a few minutes, Kendrick arrived with green goo dripping down his holy sword. He entered the store and immediately told them to get ready to go as
Johnny continued his story, and then eventually told Kendrick and Erika that he needs to go back to his village, but he does not have the ability to do so as he is not strong enough to defend himself from hordes of demons that are much stronger than him, and another is that he is definitely outnumbered. Kendrick, who was listening put the fire out after cooking their dinner as the whole store is being filled with some and it will get hard to breathe if they continue this fire. As they ate, Kendrick asked him,“Why do you want to go back anyway?” Kendrick asked as he sipped on his corn and crab soup.“I have something to recover. Something the village elder told us to get once the village is annihilated, and I think that thing is important if the elder insisted to us like that.” Johnny replied as he then continued to eat.Erika was just wolfing down her food and was never butting in in the conversation as she has got nothing to say in this.“So, I am here to ask for help—”“No!” Kendri

The battle, which was already intense earlier, got much more nerve-racking. The clash between the two was faster than earlier, and it was just incredible and terrifying at the same. Because the fact that a student is doing these kinds of things and having a full form of an angel is not something to see every day. Normally, swordsmen and women would have to take at least decades to perfect their forms. And not everyone can activate this kind of form as it only works for the chosen ones. The swords community is now watching the battle from afar. Since a lot of them have injuries and won’t make it in time to reach the camp, they decided to stay in this position for a while and tend to the wounded. And they are also here to make sure that Kendrick will have reinforcements once he asks for it. As they watch, one of the swordsmen then approached Jason and the commander,“Sir, Ma’am. I got something.” The man says.He then took out his camera that is connected to every public screen througho
Not wanting to hurt his family even though they are fake, has left Kendrick crawling around the church’s floor, begging his family to stop. He has every ability and strength to defeat all of them, especially the demon that are controlling them. However, he is not to use that power against his family. It has been a month and a half since this one-sided fight started, and Kendrick can feel that he would die in this. He can’t handle it. Amaterasu was right, this is the most brutal and gruesome stage of the entire 100 years of training. The pain, the agony and grief cannot be described in this. Kendrick is even wondering that how can they call this a training when it is meant to leave physical and mental trauma to those who undergoes it.“What is the matter, Ken? Don’t you rather join us, than to avenge us?” all of them said at once.Kendrick stood up and faced them,“I do want to join you guys. Because without vengeance, I would serve no purpose. But I refuse to die in the hands of some
5 more years have passed, and Kendrick’s skin is starting to turn gray as the water is starting to become little blades. Kendrick, who can now project a physically able umbrella made from energy. Amaterasu knows that it won’t be long until Kendrick forms a fully and complete one. Kendrick on the other hand is now feeling the pain, the chills and exhaustion. He never knew that he would hold out this long, but he is long before completing this first stage of his training. His beard grew more, and he doesn’t even know how long he has been sitting here and was meditating. As far as he knows, he has been here much longer than he is expecting. However, even though he has fortified his mind and is not letting doubts, hesitations and fears get in him, his body, his human flesh, is weak. His mind is not giving up, but his body is worn out and is wanting to quit this suffering and just die. But his determination and sheer willpower alone is not letting him. Because in his mind, no matter what a
