*yaaaawn*
I don't remember the last time I slept that well.
It's a beautiful day outside, the sun is bright but not too bright, the birds singing to the sounds of the wind. Everything is perfect.
"SOMEBODY HELP ME".
Was that Adela's voice I just heard? She's in danger, how could this happen? I had one of my soldiers keep watch of her and report to me if she was in a dire situation. How could I let this happen. I should've let Varen protect her, how could I be so stupid.
Her voice was coming from the kitchen, I won't get there in time.
"Varen I need you to find Adela and bring her to me".
"Yes my king".
It's the royal castle, you couldn't infiltrate the castle even if you tried so how could this happen.
The only person it could be is.
"Good morning Sepsis".
"Lilah"?
Adela is bleeding out, don't tell me she's.
"You were too late, she is DEAD, HAHAHA".
I failed.
I failed again.
I let someone I care about die all because I was too late.
I am an idiot.
A fool.
Useless.
Weak.
"Sepsis wake up".
"Wake up Spesis, we have school".
*huff* *huff*
I had a nightmare, I don't remember the last time I had one. I was maybe 8 or 9 when I had my last nightmare.
Can't believe I had a nightmare about Lilah of all people.
Adela is okay. Thank goodness.
"Never thought I would be so happy to see your face".
"Thanks I guess? Do you want me to teleport you"?
"Yes please, just let me get changed real quick".
"WHY ARE YOU TAKING OFF YOUR SHIRT RIGHT INFRONT OF ME"!
"Oh, sorry".
When did I get a six pack? Has my body changed since I got my powers? Now that I come to think of it I do feel bigger and stronger than before.
"You can look now".
"We should start heading to school Adela, the teacher wouldn't want us being late now would she?".
"Uhm yeah, we should. Grab my hand".
*whoosh*
That ability will always come in handy. I wish I could do something as cool as that. I ain't even asking for teleportation but just something that can help me move around faster.
"Now remember, you were suspended so don't go causing any more trouble, okay".
"Okay".
"Let's head to class".
"Where's zico".
"It's the end of the semester so our power level will be re evaluated, anyone with a power level less than 6000, will go down to the lower class".
"It goes in order of strength from the last evaluation so I will be going next and then you and so on".
Interesting. This way I will be able to see how strong lilah is and therefore determine how much of a problem she is.
*sigh*
Every day I hate walking into this classroom. It's not like I am bullied or anything but it stings a little.
"SEPSIS IS BACK".
"WHO INVITED THIS STREET-URCHIN BACK INTO OUR SCHOOL".
"HOW DARE HE HURT LILAH".
"YEAH, HE SHOULD BE EXECUTED FOR THAT ALONE".
Yep,good to be back.
Huh, guess she didn't move seats. I better sit there so she doesn't know that I am on to her.
What would a normal person do after they 'bullied' someone.
As much as I hate to do this, I have to swallow up my pride.
"Lilah I".
"No you don't have to apologise, I am sorry for giving you the wrong impression. You see, I know you don't grab the attention of someone like you by being basic so I decided to add a little bit extra to my personality".
She's lying straight to my face.
"I know your a demon Lilah so stop trying to hide it. If I am diving into specifics, your a succubus. A demon who eats the mana of the people who are attracted to them and gains strength from it as a result, that would explain the fact that your trying to make me and the rest of the class fall in love with you".
"Are you going to to deny it"?
"I don't know why you're telling me this. If you had any sort of proof you would've already gone to the royal knights, you can't even tell your friends because your worried they might not believe you, which leads me to my next question".
"What are you going to do about it"?
"I'll kill you, that's what".
"Nuh uh uh. You won't be killing me, you will be killing this girl".
"What do you mean"?
"She is nothing but a vessel, a vessel who's only purpose in life is to hold my powers".
"Your evil, forget evil your just downright diabolical".
"Answer my question, cats got your tongue? What are you going to do about it"?
Crap I am stuck. If I kill her, In reality I would just be killing an innocent girl.
Would killing her be so bad? She is a danger to the school and most importantly, she is a danger to Adela and Zico.
"Who says I still won't kill you".
"Well then, that would make you just as evil and just as diabolical as me".
"Adela, it's your turn for the power level re evaluation".
"Coming".
"Maybe I will kill that girl over there, just because I can"
*slam*
"If you so much as even think about killing her or Zico I will kill you, then I will go find your next vessel and kill them, I will do this until you run out of mana. No matter how long it takes, I will kill you".
"Chill I was only joking, jeez you get worked up so easily".
Even if it's a joke, I can't take any chances
Zico has the ability to avoid death so no matter how close he is to it, he will always evade it
Adela on the other hand.
"Varen, protect Adela like your life depends on it. Protect her more than you would protect me".
"You feel it, the shear difference in strength between us so like I said, if you even think about killing Adela, you will die over and over again".
Why is she standing up? Where is she going? Don't tell me.
"Hey Zico, I would like to thank you for helping me the other day".
"No problem, I would do anything for you".
Shit zico don't fall for it.
"I was wondering if you would like to check the beach out, the waves are in full force this time of year".
"YE-YES I WOULD LOVE YOU, I MEAN I WOULD LOVE TO".
Zico couldn't be any more of a perv then he already is.
That's not the problem.
Even if it's just a little bit, she is feeding on Zico's mana.
"Sepsis, it's your turn for the evaluation".
Crap, this is not good. Them 2 being alone,this couldn't be any worse.
You know what, it's fine. I have made my intentions very clear. If she ends up harming anyone ,she will be executed.
"YEAH GET THIS CLOWN OUT MY CLASSROOM".
"I HOPE YOU FAIL SEPSIS".
Did I say it stings a little? I meant it stings a lot.
There's Adela.
"So what did you get".
"I went up to 12000".
12000? That's higher than Zico if I am not mistaken.
"Adela, that's really good".
"Yeah I guess, my father had a power level of 15000 at my age so I wanted to beat him but oh well, maybe I am not good enough".
"Adela listen, you are perfect so don't compare yourself to me, your father or anyone else for that matter. You are strong, the strongest person I have ever met. You saved me at my lowest. You convinced me to go school and yes it sometimes sucks but I love it, I get to see the people I value most in this world every single day and for me, that's more than enough, you are enough and nothing can ever change that".
*sob*
She's crying, did I do something wrong?
"It's okay Adela,I will stay here for as long as you need. I am not going anywhere".
*sniff*
"No .Go do your evaluation, I will be okay. Thank you spesis, for always being there for me.
"Alright".
"Summon daggers, emerge nyrith".
"What do you need my liege".
"I want you to keep a watch over lilah's power level on the evaluation and report to me the number".
I also can't have him making my power level readings go off the chart.
This is different from before, I thought it would be outside but apparently it is in a hall.
*zoom*
It went dark, what is going on.
*flick*
Blue lights, is this some kind of joke?
"Greetings sepsis, this the power level re evaluation exam, I will ask you some questions which will measure the true extent of your powers".
"And you are"?
"Grand Master Hedrick"
Oh yeah, the head master of our school. I did best him in our duel but I doubt that the test would be hand to hand combat
"Question 1, if there was a traitor what would you do"?
That is a good question, what would I do? There technically is a traitor and I haven't done anything yet. What would I normal person do.
"I would make sure that they are a traitor and then I would report it to the higher ups".
"If someone close to you was a devil and we decided to hunt them down, what would you do"?
"It's only natural for us humans to hunt down the race that almost sent us to extinction, so if they are a devil, I will take them down myself but if it turns out that they weren't and it was all a load of shit, then I will simply have to fight the fighters. I am going to protect my family even if it means turning all the fighters of humanity against me".
"Very well then"!
"Last question, if you come across an opponent that outclasses you in every aspect, what would you do"?
"Simple, I would beat them".
"Let's put that to the test".
What's this? I can't move all of a sudden.
What the hell did he just summon. A puppet controlling a human doll. This isn't even arcane anymore, it is just pure dark sorcery.
"The soul of the person you cherish most will be transported into this human doll".
*Varen is Adela ok?*
*she is currently passed out on the floor*
*Varen come here quickly*
*yes my king*
*nyrith fall back, I need you to come here now*
*yes my leige*
He summoned a giant sword, don't tell me.
"What are you planning to do with that sword you sick fuck".
"In 2 minutes, it will come crashing down and stab the puppet so what will you do now that you are outclassed".
"Summon, spider's daggers".
"What is those daggers going to do".
"WARRIORS AUTHORITY".
*clank*
Crap, the sword didn't break. I am not going to lose, not now and not ever
*creak*
"Oh, looks like we have some intruders".
Varen and nyrith! I have never been more happy to see them.
"My liege, we are both here".
Nyrith and Varen, this can work.
"You asked me what I would do if I was outclassed, my answer hasn't changed. I will defeat you.
"Varen, nyrith. Defeat that man but do not kill him".
"Yes my king".
"Arcane technique, sanctity of life".
Thank goodness I done more research before I came here. Sanctity of life, a skill used by Orion to increase his warriors power level by 35% if I am not mistaken.
Even though it is grand master heldrick, the first s rank knight of this country, it doesn't change the fact that he is out of his prime. Which means, 2 A rank level warriors should be able to beat them.
"I didn't think you could control these warriors".
"Why don't you focus on what's infront of you".
*clang*
He simultaneously blocked both of their attacks, such speed.
"Arcane technique black hole".
I can move now, guess he was using a technique to incapacitate me. Black hole huh, probably derived from the dark arcane. That would explain his monstrous strength even at his old age.
Crap I am getting pulled in.
"WARRIORS AUTHORITY".
"oh? So your powers aren't just limited to inanimate objects,. It can also control the movements of humans".
If I am going to get sucked into a black hole, so will he.
What just happened? Did he dispel his own black hole? Why would he do that?
*crack*
The old man is brutal, he just sucker punched me in my face.
*crash*
"Looks like you lost, even after all your surprises you still couldn't win".
"I got one more suprise left in store, look behind you".
*he used my black hole to pull apart the puppet?*
"I won, you lost".
"Varen, nyrith, let's head out".
"Also I know this wasn't just a power level re evaluation, other people probably just put their hands on the crystal ball and called it a day".
"Also if it isn't a hassle, record my power level as 11000".
"Why"?
"It will put me top 3 in the class,high enough that I won't be seen as weak and low enough so I won't stand out".
Also this way, Adela can become the strongest in her class and please her father.
"Yeah sure, sorry for wasting your time".
"No problem, also remove the suspension from my record".
Geez, what a drag.
Can't believe I wasted my time on a pointless test.
Crap, Lilah!
I need to head outside now,
"Congratulations Lilah, you scored 16000. You are the strongest in your class".
If Adela hears about this, she will be crushed.
"Strongest in the class, that has a nice ring to it, looks like I am stronger than you and Adela and Zico".
"You guys are nobody's, just a couple of average fishes on my cutting board".
"Sounds familiar"?
Crap, with all this attention of her being the strongest, loads of guys are going to fawn over her. This isn't good.
"If you excuses me, I have a date to attend to. With your best friend".
