Several hours later, in the training hall, Yuta and Jiya were fighting among themselves
Swords were clashing fiercely in the middle of the arena, causing the ground to crack from the intensity of their strength. However, Yuta was superior in the confrontation, unlike Jia, who was defending most of the time. At the end of the game, there was a huge difference in ranks, although he could use 3% of his strength, but it was enough to defeat her.
Yuta took several steps back from her because he wanted to leave her room to see what she would do. He did not offer a confrontation to show himself stronger, knowing the amount of strength that Jiya has reached now. He is aware that he is stronger and does not need to show his strength every time if there is no need for that.
He spoke in a tone filled with admiration while easily repelling her attack, causing Jia to grit her teeth angrily, "Jia, you have become stronger than you were when facing us."
"last"
Jiya's eyes sparkled as she listened to Yuuta's words, which she considered extremely annoying, so she pointed her sword at his neck. However, he managed to repel him easily and spoke in a tone filled with sarcasm, "There is a very strange smell for a human, but it is so light that it is difficult to perceive it. Ha-ha-ha-ha-oh, I knew it was the smell of your failure."
Jiya gritted her teeth forcefully, increasing the frequency of her attacks, anger evident on his face, making Yuta's smile increase every second.
"You are too arrogant, Yuta Caseral. However, I will surpass and defeat you one day, and your head will be my prize." Jia's tone of voice was full of a threat to defeat and kill him.
Yuta threw her sword several meters away from her while pointing his sword towards his face while speaking with confidence mixed with sarcasm, "I doubt you will do anything then. Moreover, training for the day is over."
Yuta pushed her across her forehead using his finger and she fell directly to the ground due to the intensity of fatigue that was gathering inside her because she had not rested much and had exhausted herself many times over the past 20 days.
He looked at him out of the corner of his eye while the recovery potion absorbed energy. He spoke in a calm tone while looking at his phone, "I'm going to a restaurant. Will you come with me?"
Jia looked at him for several seconds in annoyance while drinking the recovery potion with energy and then got up immediately, "First I will take a shower, then I will think about something okay."
Yuta didn't say a word, just shaking his head in agreement, because he had no intention of eating the other person's food, which Jia realized in turn.
She headed towards the women's bathroom without saying another word. Yuta continued to look at him maliciously, then directed his gaze to the ceiling to find a spy watching their actions. However, he decided to let him do what he wanted, provided that he did not exceed his limits.
However, it seemed that a spy wanted death so badly that Yuta headed towards him at a speed that the spy could not comprehend
He grabbed him by the neck, which made the spy very shocked, as he wanted to follow Jeb to do his job completely
"How are you, this man? I think you are an impolite person. Watching underage girls while they are bathing is an inappropriate act. Isn't that so, this man?"
"......." Spy could not utter a single word because Yuta was putting pressure on his throat, especially where his vocal cords were located.
He smiled a frightening smile, showing a row of sharp teeth while he looked at that spy, and he spoke in a terrifying tone, like that person, "You know something, I have not tried the flesh of entities, this is a novel, so it would be wonderful to know that."
That person's facial expressions turned completely black, and Yuta ate his head in one bite to relieve his desire to eat the inhabitants of this world, which had been plaguing him for several days.
His head turned into the head of a completely black dragon, exuding an aura of death, and he devoured the body of that spy in one bite before descending to the ground the other time, after wiping the blood and its smell from his mouth and clothes.
Several minutes passed before Jia came out of the women's bathroom and looked at Yuta suspiciously because she no longer felt the presence of that idiot whom she was going to kill herself for trying to watch her while she was showering.
She decided to ignore the whole matter and spoke in a tone that was not interested in what happened in her absence, "Let's go, it will be food at your expense, Mr. Yuta Caseral."
Yuta looked at him with slight annoyance for several seconds before they headed to the academy restaurant
While they were walking around, Jia was talking to herself in a calm tone while looking at Yuta from time to time, "There is one day left and I will head with Yuta to the city of Barhais, a summer festival that will be the event that I have always been waiting for."
A sigh of bewilderment escaped her mouth as she recalled her encounter with him on Jigua Island after the Scorpion organization's attack
Flashback
Both Jia and Yuta were sitting on the corpses of the Scorpion Organization's followers and monsters while looking at the sky with cold expressions.
A slight smile appeared on Yuta's face as he looked at Jiya, who was staring into space without any clear goal
"You remember what I said when I said that I would kill the Magic Emperor Aster Gilford on that day?"
Jiya directed her gaze towards Yuta as she got up after the bodies she was sitting on disappeared, and the same applies to the rest of the bodies.
To answer his question while returning her blood-filled sword to its sheath, "Yes, I remember what you said, but why you want to kill him is something I have not yet understood. Is there animosity between you and my father by adopting Aster Guilford?"
Jia's eyes were sharp as she looked at Yuta, focusing on every step and every move he would make
A slight smile appeared on the tip of Yuta's lips as he looked at Jiya, who was looking at him with an analytical look
"As I said, your father adopted you, but more importantly, when he adopted you, he wanted to know your origins, your real family, your father, your mother, your sisters, what happened to them when you were an orphan."
"Why did Aster Guilford decide to take care of you personally and prevent you from using your abilities? Your blood is a hybrid that clearly emanates from your body. You are a hybrid like me."
"As for the reason I killed Aster, he wanted to kill me in turn and use me as a tool to increase his power, and you are not the exception to that."
"I know you won't understand at the moment, but if you want to know the truth completely, why don't you come with me to the celebration that will be held in the city of Barhais during the end of the year?"
"Consider it a break from the stress of being the daughter of one of the Grand Duchesses, Duke Aster Guildford, and at the same time the daughter of the Magic Emperor."
She remainedJia looked at Yuuta without saying anything, as she did not understand why he was so close to her even though he did not love her or care that she was the daughter of Duke Aster Guildford, who is considered one of the most powerful figures in the Central Continent and one of the most famous figures in the human sphere as a whole.
But he wants to kill him, and he tells her that directly. Because he is so confident, Jia can inform Aster of Yuta's plan to overthrow him. This will lead to his execution on charges of conspiring against a senior official in the empire.
Humans may be considered to have betrayed the Empire, as Aster Guilford is one of the pillars that protects the Empire from falling
At the same time, she ultimately benefits from the fact that Uta Caseral is a dangerous competitor with a fickle mind. She does not bow to anyone and does not give loyalty to anyone who may be her ally or her enemy.
However, you wouldn't be able to trust him at all unless he wanted to die. Trusting a demon is foolish in and of itself, and Yuta had surpassed the demons with his actions, killing, betraying, and blackmailing some students at times for benefits.
She had been watching Yuta Talit for the past months and discovered that he was not the type of person who would give up on achieving goals, regardless of the means to achieve them.
"From what I understand from what you said, you know my family from them and the real reason why Aster Gilford adopted me, nonetheless."
"What is actually a real reason? Because you want to kill him is not a real reason. My father is currently considered a fighter of the highest rank of Holy Ruler."
"And you are stronger. You were able to fight me without exerting any effort when you used the Ruler's Blessing, which raised my strength at that time to the rank of Master Ruler."
"This is why you are technically stronger than Aster Guilford who is still at a higher Sacred Ruler rank, yet you speak as if he is stronger than the level he is rumored to have reached," Jia said in a questioning tone as a transparent violet aura swirled around his body.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha what a fool you are. Do you think that what is happening around us or what we currently know is the truth and a logical explanation for everything that has happened or is happening at the present time?" Yuta laughed loudly as he looked at Jiya.
He decided to continue his speech after in a calm tone with some slight sarcasm, "In this world, or any world, regardless of its type, there will still be one law, and it is the strongest, writing the rules of the game."
"He who writes events as he likes has lost his strength. Do you really think that Alastair Guilford is still in the rank of a higher holy ruler? How pathetic you are."
"But if you go with me during the vacation at the end of the year, you will know the answers to all the questions that Belhati thought of that you had never thought about in the first place."
Although Gia seems to know all the things that happen in the world, this is not considered a condition that she knows everything. In the end, she is like any person in this world.
She knows only what she should know and nothing else, but as for the things she should not know, it is not easy to know
The world will not tell you everything. Some things must remain unknown because they have the potential to completely shake the world and change the way people view those in power.
At the same time, they will not allow the general public to know about something like this at all, because it threatens their personal interests only
We return from flashback
To clear his mind while looking at the gate of the academy restaurant, which was only 24 steps away from her, she directed her gaze towards Yuta, whose gaze was full of confidence.
It made her feel uncomfortable with the reason she was staying with him was to increase her strength strangely and to talk to him about what was happening on vacation, which was only a few hours away.
He entered a restaurant and headed towards the place where orders were taken. Yuta spoke in a calm tone, "I want two plates of grilled venison, dragon fruit juice, a salad plate, and a tropical fruit jelly pie."
The ordering officer looked at him for several seconds before heading to the kitchen
Jia spoke in a calm tone while looking at Yuta, "Where is that cook who treated you so kindly and prepared food before you even asked?"
Yuta looked at him for several seconds with a slight smile before heading towards a seat, "I don't really know, but your question about it surprised me. I think you're becoming sane little by little."
Jia did not comment on Yuta's words, but went to the table where he was sitting while looking at him with somewhat incomprehensible looks.
She said dutifully as soon as she sat down, which made Yuta look at him with a surprised look, "So what are you planning to do during your vacation? I doubt you won't head towards Parhis City directly, right?"
Yuta's gaze was calm as he listened to her words, realizing that trying to go back and forth with her will never succeed. Moreover, she will know his destination because she will be with him in the end, and lying will only complicate matters.
"You are right. We will succeed in the city of Yohrspeak. Be careful. It is a city full of gangs who have internal power barriers. However, I doubt that it will work on you. In the end, you are able to defeat the Goblin ruler Cavlior and draw with the Orc ruler."
"Then we will head to the Mystery Market. There are things I want to buy, and it is better for you to take advantage of them. The Mystery Market is an opportunity of a lifetime. Then directly to the city of Barhais. When we arrive, I will decide what I will do until the beginning of the Summer Festival."
Jia did not say anything, but continued to listen to Yuta's words very carefully. There was an upcoming festival that would completely change the way she viewed the world if Yuta was sincere in what he said.
As a waitress serves food, Jia is prevented from saying a word because she does not know who is working with whom and who is working against whom. However, she is confident that Yuta works with everyone at the same time and does not work with anyone.
Which made her want to laugh. She is watching Yuta, and Yuta is watching her, and her father is watching Aster, who is watching her, and her powder is watching him. She also realizes that everyone is watching everyone, and for everyone with everyone at the same time, everyone against everyone.
She directs her gaze to the food with a calm look and begins eating the steak without saying a single word, and the same applies to Yuta in turn.
Several minutes passed before Yuta spoke while eating a tropical fruit jelly pie, "Today there will be students who are taking a final exam, isn't it?"
"Likewise"
Jia looked at him in astonishment for several seconds, trying to understand his real intention so she decided to go along with it. "Of course, tomorrow is the last day, and the principal will give his last speech before the academy doors close. They will send you away for the next 5 months so that they can prepare for our trip to the Heavenly Immortals Academy."
T changeYuta's face looked serious as he looked at him, and Jiba's facial expressions changed in turn as she looked at him, knowing that what she was about to hear would be important, "When we reach the world of 3525336 DF, beware of those called Yao Changji. He will be a very dangerous enemy for the next 10 months."
Jia didn't say anything, but put Yao Changjie's name in the deepest part of her mind, drinking dragon fruit juice while collecting her thoughts.
To speak while placing a glass on the table, "However, are you confident that you will be able to carry out what you want?"
It was not difficult for Yuuta to understand the true intent of Jiya's words, which she meant by Magic Emperor Aster Guilford. However, he did not see Aster as an opponent worth thinking much about. He was still in 02-FI and was unable to obtain his own main wing without even having a sub-wing as he was the adopted son of the Guilford family.
"Certainly, I will be able to achieve my goal in the end. Perhaps what people think is a pawn is the boss of the game itself, not just a player." Yuta's tone of voice was full of confidence and malice as he took a piece of fruit jelly, ignoring Jiya's gaze, who was looking at him suspiciously.
She got up immediately while looking at him with looks that carried a great deal of mistrust, "It seems that our discussion has come to an end, Mr. Uta Caseral."
Yuta looked at him for several seconds before speaking, "You won't call me that after the end of the summer festival in Parahais City."
"...."
Jia did not comment on Yuta's words and left the academy restaurant directly because she heard what she wanted to hear and there was no reason to continue a conversation with him, especially with an unreliable person like him.
However, Yuta did not stop him because he was aware that days create enemies and allies and comrades. Today they are almost enemies and tomorrow they will be allies.
Time and a suitable place determine what relationships will be like. However, they will still be based on the two pillars of exploitation and mutual interest and nothing else. In the end, all relationships in this vast world are built on this idea.
