Chapter 50
“No, I’m fine and I could see better with each fight.” Sensing that the teacher was getting suspicious of him, he spoke out. “Perhaps my limit is sixty minutes just like the person you saw having such a limit.”
Luke was silent as certain thoughts ran through his mind.
“Listen up kid, if you manage to defeat this thirteenth student, you will have to fight me someday. I’ve never seen someone as strong as you are. The thing is the stronger your energy force is, the longer your spiritual eyes skill limit will be.”
As soon as the old elf said this, he faced the other student to give an announcement.
“It seems like our student Kevin here is really strong. His limit is forty minutes presently but it could change soon. The next match will determine what his limit is.”
The thirteenth student had climbed up to the podium, standing opposite Kevin.
‘ I didn’t know we would be finally fighting each other. It seems like it has been fated for both of us. You may be strong but I would defeat you with everything I have.’ Dan smirked to himself.
.....
“No, Dan is finally going to fight Kevin,” Lexa exclaimed.
“Do you think Dan would win? I know my brother is quite strong but Kevin is also strong too and I’m not sure who would win among the two.” Zoe replied.
“I would stop them from fighting even if it requires going up to the arena,” Lexa said to herself.
As usual, the system notified Kevin. He saw the person he was about to fight as an Elf. Elves have a longer limit than fairies. The fairies he fought previously all had 2 minutes skill limit. They were eight in number and each had two minutes skill limit making 16 minutes. While the first elf the fourth had 8 minutes limit and the rest had either a 4, 5, or 7 minutes limit. But none of them were as strong as the first student he fought.
For a few seconds, Kevin paused and re-read what he just saw now. The name Dan is not the Dan he knew, was it? Kevin was curious to know who was in front of him. Was it Dan or not? He kept on reading the notification to see if he’ll find something relating to who Dan is.
So far, Dan’s limit was the longest and his strength was greater than the other students he fought.
But Kevin was worried about Dan. From what he saw, it was certain that Dan was strong which will make it difficult for Kevin to go easy on him and he might end up using all of his strength. But since he’s not just his friend but his roommate, he could talk him out and ask to let him win this once. Even if it requires paying him back with whatever he wants.
While no one was watching, Kevin sneakingly removed the band that was used to blindfold them to take a glance look at the person in front of him and he could see that it was indeed Dan.
He covered his eyes with the band after seeing that it was the Dan he knew. He would proceed with his plan and beg him to let him win the match and in return, he would give him whatever he wants in return. Nothing is more valuable to him than winning the quest and getting stronger. He’s sure Dan could not ask for his system since he didn’t know anything about it.
“Alright, and let the match begin.” Luke finally announced and the two students activated their skills.
Before Kevin dashed in, the A1 system gave him a forespeech.
“Don’t show any sign of mercy to your opponent at all. To become stronger, you must be cruel and wicked because that’s what the world wants. If you’re loving and gentle, the world will think of you as an idiot and foolish person.”
Kevin grunted internally, ignoring the system as he dashed at Dan.
To convince Kevin, the A1 system processed an additional quest reward to draw his attention and make him show no mercy to Dan.
Still, Kevin wasn’t convinced as he planned to talk to Dan first. Then if his talking plan doesn’t work out, he would have no other choice but to defeat him without showing any mercy.
Both students grabbed their hands as each started pushing the other to fall the other to the ground. But both were strong students.
Using the chance he got, Kevin continued with his plan as he started discussing it with Dan.
“Dan, can you please let me win just this once? I promise to give you anything you want. Can you hear me?” Kevin asked but Dan remained silent and didn’t say anything.
They released each other’s arms and throw punches at each other. But Kevin was trying his best not to hurt Dan nor use his whole strength in him. Dan had thought this was all Kevin’s strength after seeing him beg for them to go easy on each other. That made Dan grow large wings and was more than confident that he could defeat Kevin.
‘ I wonder why Lexa fell for you when you’re this weak. I will show her how strong I am and break every bone of your body. Sorry, but I’ll have to embarrass you in front of everyone.’ Dan smiled as he looked toward Lexa. Their eyes locked on each other and Lexa could see the evil smirk on his face signifying that he has an evil agenda.
“I’m not letting you have your way, Dan,” Lexa said as she stood up from where she was sitting.
