Chapter 43 - Entrance Exams(2)

[1st- Elicia Von Risteria- 1 kill (Grade 4 demon)]

[Points: 400]

The moment the blue holographic screen flickered to life, chaos erupted among the students.

"Move!"

"Out of the way!"

"Rin, should we team up?" Yuta asked.

"No."

"Why not?"

Rin grinned. "I want to see which of us performs better."

"….."

'This child'

"Fine—but don't overdo it." Yuta said raising his finger lecturing Rin

"Yeah"

Before Rin ran off, Yuta held him back

"What else, old man?"

"Remember that my name is Liam Roth"

"Yes" Rin said running off

From that moment onward, Yuta and Rin both went their separate ways

The screams of the citizens of Valon grew louder as demons attacked from all corners

Explosions appeared on the scene; the place was mixed with both blood from civilians and demons.

Few humans had died but a lot of demons were not spared either. It was a gruesome sight

The students were extremely active in saving citizens of Valon

Some students fought and killed demons, some those teamed up with others and those who could not team up with the strongest, stole from their peers.

'Another one'

Yuta said as he slew another demon

[CALCULATING]

[100th – Liam Roth — 7 kills]

"My seventh kill, huh…"

"Results"

Yuta spoke calmly as the blue holographic screen came into view

[1st – Elicia Von Risteria — 20 kills]

[2nd – Asterx Fitric — 19 kills]

[3rd – Robert Crawford — 15 kills]

[4th – Arthur Ven Roswell — 14 kills]

[5th – Rin Aiderth — 12 kills]

"Rin has racked up a lot huh"

A faint smile crossed Yuta's face—then vanished just as quickly.

'Your ten o'clock' Luna spoke up

Looking towards that direction, Yuta saw a young boy lying helplessly under a rubble.

'A pity'

Instantly, a surge of mana exploded within Yuta. Memories of his past resurfaced as his anger continued boiling up immensely

"The imbecile"

"Used a whole city as your tool for examination"

Staring at the boy who looked lifeless, Yuta noticed something strange upon closely looking at the boy

'He's breathing'

A sign of life

Yuta calmed his emotions and prepared to go there when he noticed something big in the distance

Its big physique was nothing of remarkable, it held a sword of its own mostly like from a previous battle.

The horns stretched out more than most demons Yuta had encountered.

'Must be the leader'

The demon scrambled through the rubble, throwing the rocks at other buildings.

The demon picked up the boy slowly which made Yuta blood run cold

Yuta tightened his stance, forming a hollow black sphere in his palm.

"Don't dare"

"!"

To Yuta's shock, the demon looked at where Yuta is before throwing a smirk towards Yuta

'A smart one'

The demon and Yuta exchanged eye contact for a little while, both studying and measuring each other up to see who would attack first

The demon slowly looked at the boy, then at Yuta

With new found determination to enrage Yuta, the demon scratched the boy on the face much to Yuta's annoyance

A thin streak of blood ran down the boy's face before the demon licked it carefully

"Want to attack?" Luna asked

"Yeah, I am pretty annoyed right now"

Yuta jumped off the building, diving head first to attack the demon but to Yuta surprise, the demon hurled the boy at his direction

"Wha-?"

Noticing Yuta's demeanor, the demon smiled menacingly

Catching the boy, Yuta slowly moved to another building before putting the boy slowly on the ground

'Luna, heal him'

'Got it'

A green hue enveloped the boy as the boy's face which had become pale from the suddenly slowly dissolved

'All done'

Yuta studied the boy's breathing and to his amazement, the boy was alive

'He won't be waking up anytime soon though'

As Yuta was still watching over the boy, the demon suddenly leapt from its position creating a crack in the concrete ground where it had once stood

Suddenly inches away from Yuta, the demon removed its sword and was prepared to slash Yuta

"Give me a break"

*Whoosh*

Yuta ducked avoiding the attack barely. The slash cut clean through the air, aimed straight for Yuta's torso.

Yuta grabbed the boy and put him in a corner of the building

Another attack came but Yuta holding his sword parried it as a spark of electricity flew by

Yuta leapt back, putting distance between himself and the demon.

"Void"

Yuta shot the black sphere, anything that touched the sphere was swallowed whole as it moved calmly towards the demon

'Over'

The demon opened it mouth wide before shooting a small orb like crystal. The orb floated calmly before making contact with the sphere

As both came in contact with each other, the crystal froze the sphere in space before dissolving into dust

"Hahaha"

Laughs engulfed the whole section. The demon laughed like a maniac as Yuta looked stunned

'He countered it'

*Heh*

"Finally… a worthy opponent." Yuta said as he unsheathed his sword prepared to attack

Meanwhile

"Sir Malix, I come bearing bad news" a reporter came

"What is the matter?"

"Sir, we mistakenly unleashed a grade 6 demon on Valon"

"What?"

"Yes sir, it happened during your bicker with the headmaster, one of you mistakenly pushed the button releasing it"

'Oh god' Malix said rubbing his chin

'Could today get any worse?'
