The siblings launched at each other and their elbows clashed. It’s a good thing that Sophia activated her skin hardening, because if she didn’t, her arm will be injured and it will take time to heal. Because unlike Vincent, she has no rapid healing abilities. Vincent on the other hand has his elbow dislocated. The bone shattered and he felt the tingling of pain but he it didn’t faze him. He was wearing his spare glasses but his eyes are all cold. Those cold eyes are looking directly at Sophia,
“Hey, this is just a match, don’t push it too hard.” Says Sophia as she separated herself from Vincent.
The amount of focus Vincent is doing is incredible. But the eyes, it isn’t Vincent. The eyes are too cold like he was literally tired of everything. He is only 17, and yet, those eyes says that he has enough of this shitty life and he wants to die and rest. However, his will to live is what drives him right now. Vincent has a lot of pro
After telling everyone the truth, they all went back to watch this fight unfold. Vincent and Sophia are having a great fight. But the coldness in Vincent’s eyes just throws them off as they aren’t comfortable on seeing him with that kind of expression. However, they also couldn’t bear to see Vincent hide a lot of pain behind his smiles, it was also painful for them. But they were the ones at fault, no one can be blamed for that, except for them. Sophia is trying her best to beat Vincent. She kept on hurting him by hitting him with her club, but he isn’t fazed by it. Vincent blocks the club with his. And he hasn’t landed a hit on Sophia, yet,“Come on, don’t hold back!” yelled Sophia.Vincent then took a deep breath and went on attack mode. He went to launch at Sophia, and Sophia luckily managed to act quick. Vincent’s attacks were fast, and she couldn’t see it with her eyes. She tried sensing it, but it was no
Theodore was the next to fight with his opponent. He was excited, and that excitement drove him to defeating his opponent in just 1 minute. He was invincible. He hasn’t had a match in this Showdown that exceeds a minute. 1 minute is the longest, while 30 seconds is the fastest. He was just dominating. He went back to his locker and rested. It was already 6 in the evening. There will be a 2-hour rest, which will also be a way for the crowd to eat and all. Because the next match is going to make the arena explode. It will be an intense battle. And while everyone was resting and eating, the captains are now having a meeting with their Vices. They already listed down their picks for this year. And Vincent and Theodore are the only ones who’s not in their lists yet. Because they’ll decide once their battle is over. There will only be 10 students who will get invited from 5 Academies and the two are the much-awaited ones to get listed down. Because they’ll decide w
With Theodore’s weakness has been figured out, he has no escape. All Vincent needs to do is to get his timing correctly, as it will be hard to catch up with Theodore if he has lightning speed. Vincent only has superhuman speed, he can’t be a lightning-fast fellow. But he sure will keep with him, not in speed, but he’ll catch him with his incredible reflexes. Vincent might need to go all-out, but not that much since it will be a disaster. He does not want to end up killing someone. He is eating his last stack of grilled cheese when a TV went down from the ceiling. It was a news report. And in the report, the reporter was saying that all social media platforms crashed because of this fight. A lot of people wanted to watch this match. So, in order to watch it without having any troubles, except for a crowded place, people decided to go out to the streets, especially in Empire Square which has a lot of big TV monitors, just to watch this match. The whole world
They are now in the entrance gates. Vincent is with his headmaster, and so did Theodore. Headmasters must accompany their representatives in the final round, because it’s kind of a tradition. Vincent and Theodore haven’t even entered the battleground yet, but the crowd is going nuts. And Vincent feared that he might not be able to use his vibration. However, Jonathan assured him that everything is okay. Because the barriers that the committee built has this system, tat once the battle starts, only the opponents can hear and sense each other. And that is also to protect the audience, because it will not be a soft fight. If they let Vincent and Theodore fight without any barriers to protect the audiences, then everyone will get dragged into the fight. But the problem is, what if the two managed to break the barrier? Because the battle is going to be intense, they might be able to break the barrier. And to at least prevent it from happening, committee members are near the b
The fight went on and it was intense, even if it just started. It was a tough battle as expected. Theodore was enjoying this, as someone is now standing toe to toe against him. Because Vincent is a great match for him. They dodge each other’s attacks, even though they are releasing it at the same time in a close ranged manner. The movements were swift, fast and accurate. Both of them are coordinating their movements to the other, so in that way, getting hit is a low chance. It was working perfectly. They can’t hit each other, but they can somehow release decent and strong attacks. But hitting each other seems to be a challenge. Both have impressive senses, but Vincent’s reflexes tops those of Theodore’s. The reflexes of Theodore is slow compared to Vincent. He can’t react that fast, unlike Vincent who reacts almost instantly. But that isn’t Theodore’s weakness. It was just his imperfection that isn’t really dragging him down. Theodore is superior in terms of senses. His battle sense
Seeing Vincent and Theodore fight, made the crowd just stand up. They might decide to stand up the whole fight, because this is just too intense. Vincent really is the equal of Theodore. The world believes it now. It’s been 10 minutes into the fight, both are exchanging blows nonstop since the first one. They were bleeding, but they are also smiling. Their strength is off the charts. The Central Academy students are now regretting that they mocked and bullied Vincent, because the Vincent they are witnessing is just impossible. This means that, when Vincent was fighting them, Vincent must just be playing with them. It frustrates them. Sophia, who is sitting because her body still hurts is just smiling there. His brother really is a monster, and stronger than her. The strength and unwavering will to win in any battle, Vincent inherited that from their father. And the will to save and protect lives at the cost of his own life is what he inherited from their mother. It was Vincent
Months have passed, and Ursula hasn’t gotten fired yet. She always brings Theodore into their office, which led the other teachers to separate her from them. Hence, Ursula having her own office so that she and Theodore can be alone without those cruel people. No one bullied Theodore ever since, and if someone even tries to, Ursula will come and scare them away. And if they repeat it, she will definitely put a D in their papers. That may be abuse of power, but no, the people who bullies Theodore are mostly delinquents who force Theodore to answer their homework or take money from him. Ursula evaluates it first before handing down Ds to the bullies. Because she is still a teacher, and Theodore isn’t the only responsibility she has. She still have her family, her other students and herself. But for now, she be focusing on Theodore first before herself. Because as far as Ursula can see, she can’t control on whatever is happening in Theodore’s house. As Theodore m
The cops arrived just a few minutes after they’ve apprehended Theodore’s parents. They were beaten up so bad by the locals. Theodore’s father walked past Ursula who was hugging Theodore,“You’ll pay for this, mark my words, I’ll come for your head!” yelled the father.They were put in the police cars with handcuffs. And then, children welfare officials came and approach the two,“Uh, Ma’am. We’re from the Children Welfare of the city of Maryls, and we’ve come to take the child.” Says one of the officials,Ursula then tightened her grip on Theodore, she does not want to let him go,“I’ll take custody of the child; I’ll adopt him and raise him as my own son.” Ursula answered.It’s the only way she can do to protect him at all cost. The officials then looked at each other and then went back to look at Ursula,“Ma’am, it&rsquo
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
