Hey Guys!!, I'm back!
First of all thanks for waiting for me to return and second of all I have already said this before, I started this novel to get away from the stress of my school's study, I didn't expect it to gain recognition, so I thoughts to continue writing.
>the reason I couldn't write this while was because I had my main exams going on, it had just finished, so I plan to write again
So thanks for your patience and enjoy!!

'ohhh, finally i got some breathing space'
looking at the batch of monsters falling into the wide gap created be {worlds crack} i can say that i would have few seconds to rest
if these were normal monsters with mana then i could only run but the one's in front of me have no intelligence, they could only move like mindless beasts
with my current strength fighting them might be cumbersome but it could earn me more amount of affection points from Eleanor, turning around i could see Eleanor watching everything from the back
her calm eyes displaying worry for me, i just waved my hands at her, telling her not to worry, after that i ran straight into the group of monsters
"Austin!!"
i could hear Eleanor screaming from behind me but i just avoided, i knew that she had understood my purpose, while i do have the strength to fight this tide i could not do it protecting Eleanor
i am not that strong yet, the only other way is to make sure that the focus of these monsters where on me and Eleanor knew that
without any hesitation i applied mana to my leg and jumped high, flying towards the center of these monsters, i placed 3 arrows on my bow and fired it
each of them flew with a shining blue light and exploded creating a gap for me to land on and just as i did thousands of those monsters started to run and surround me
"{firey thunder}"
i quickly cast a tier 5 spell causing a thunder bolt to come from the ground creating a hell of fire to surround me, hundreds of monsters burned and turned to ash
and those who survived still started to run towards the fire reducing its size, at the same time i continued to fire several arrows taking the life of those who tried to surround me
time started to slip by as more and more monsters began to die as those with weaker power level fell stronger ones began to take their place
from all my directions monsters still continued to rampage, monsters which fell with one arrows now required 3 or more, some started to dig to the ground and attack from below the ground
at several instances i was just a bit away from getting a severe injuries, my mana started to run low and i had scratches and blood at several places of my body but there was no end to these monsters
i could fell the pain and the blood that flowed from my finger tips, even at this time i could see the distressed look on Eleanor's face and the laughter of that demon
my mental strength too started to take a hit, i started to miss some arrows that i fired, i looked towards the time above 45 minutes left until this hell finished
taking a deep breath I placed my arrows back and cast the spell {sonic distortion}, the ground started to shake and the monsters which was close to me were all shredded
gaining a few seconds i took out the potions from my space ring and drank it, after that my mana and injuries recovered but my eyes was bloodshot, even if the mana recovered my head still hurt
to fight like this continuously and to remain alret all the times taking a toll on my body, the rest i got finished within seconds as the monsters continue to attack
this time i took the sword from my back to fight, there's something that i learned about the 'perfect body' a few years ago, each humans bodies are built to match a certain limit
your muscle arrangements decides on which weapon suits you, hence they decide if you are 'talented' in that weapon or not
but for me i noticed that it was a bit different, due to the 'perfect body' my body is fit to use any weapons, it means that i am 'talented' in any weapons i use
smirking with bloodshot eyes, i held the sword in my hands, my body instinctively moved to hold the weapon at the perfect position, i may not be a sword master or it may not compare to my bow
but i can use the sword to survive, i am sure without any hesitation i swinged the sword in my hands and monsters began to be split
"come on!!"
i roared as i began to fight, i moved from my passive defense to an aggressive assault, my mana may drain faster but i will survive
without any hesitation i kept swinging the sword in my hand, the monsters which attacked me from all sides started to fall, each of their death turning them into sand
i started to fight without minding my defense, i could see the faces of each monster i kill, wounds quickly started to appear on my body again
one of the monster aimed its claws to my head, and i dodged it as other three claws aimed at my heart, throat and lungs, clutching to my sword tighter i swung it in a full circle, deflecting them all
i quickly applied a spell creating several orbs around me the strikes which i could nor defend were taken in by them, quickly i gained a ground to fight, blood started to sweep from my body
yet i still continued to battle, as the time decrease so did the aggression of the monsters increase, their eye's turned red as they continue to come at me without a stop
all the orbs around me had been destroyed, there was only a few seconds left, i was barely fighting on, my arms and legs were stiff and my mana almost dry
'there's only one thing i can do!'
taking in all the mana i had i quickly casted the one special move i learned for the sword, the mana quickly surrounded me as i casted {sword orbit}
i moved the sword around me in orbits, it looked like a barrier of small silver like stars were protecting, all those monsters which attacked me started to disappear, just as i moved the sword for thr last time the bell rang
time was up and i survived, i let out a sigh as i fell to the ground, my body ached all over and i was barely conscious, i took out a bottle from my space ring
opening the bottle a sweet scent came, i quickly gulped it, the sweet taste of nectar passed through my mouth to my stomach, after drinking it my mind started to clear up
the injuries started to heal and my bloodshot eyes started to return to normal, in return, my stomach growled in hunger
CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
it's at this time i heard a clapping sound looking up i could see the demon clapping with an impressed look
"i am impressed, it pains me to say this but you are one of the top most talents i have ever seen, it's a pity that your would die in the next round"
"as a recognition of your strength i shall give you 5 minutes to prepare, consider this an honor"
after saying that the bastard dissapeared
'finally that bastards gone!'
seeing that i have a few minutes of rest i laid on the floor for about a minute before i got back up again, even if my injuries are all healed my body still needs to rest
standing up i headed towards Eleanor who was currently sitting in the barrier i created, i had to place her correctly so that she could see my battle
even now she's unable to move her body, that's what so disgusting about the poison rectal needle, its paralysis would last for about a week and there's no antidote to it too
you have to wait naturally for about a week before your okay, the only thing that's not worrying is the fact that the poison only works on origin level 5 or below, if Eleanor had her original power then this wouldn't have happened
walking closer towards her i could see her looking at me, her eyes looking me up and down, trying to search for any injuries, i could only smile and wave at her, when i reached her i got rid of the barrier, before i could speak Eleanor did
"i'm sorry"
as she said that tears started to fall from her eye's, i have never i mean NEVER seen her shed any tears and now she did, before I could even ask the answer she already started answering
"becau-beacuse of m-me you had to drain yo-your potential, bec-because of m-m-meee"
the more I heard her talk the more confused i became, it took me a moment before i understood what happened and when did, i was speechless, it seems that she misunderstood my burst in strength as a forbidden technique
she taught that i had used a technique to draw in my potential to earn more power, hence reducing my potential, i was about to refute her when it hit me
'wait?'
'why should I remove the misunderstanding?, i could used this to my own advantage'
putting on a 'bitter' smile, as if trying to hide my pain but I couldn't, i knelt in front of Eleanor, i took her hand and came face to face with her, using my other hand i washed away her tears
"why are you crying teacher?, how could my great master whom i respect and admire with my whole heart cry?"
"why?"
this time Eleanor responded, she couldn't understand, why?, why is he going this far, to her who worked alone to have such support, she couldn't hold in the guilt, she the teacher caused her disciples potential
"Why did you not run away, you could have survived more easily.....why. didn't I tell you to run"
i 'smiled' to her words holding her face, I looked directly into it
"Why?"
"it's quite simple actually it's because i love you Eleanor"
my words were soft but in this silent world it was thunder that rang into Eleanor's ears, for a moment she couldn't respond, she was totally floored
"you mean as a teacher ri-right?"
this was the first time that I had called Eleanor her directly instead of teacher or master, this was the first time that something like this happened, she as a reputed imperial had many suitors that chased after her
when she had become famous and her beauty had spread, there were several men that wanted to take her hand in marriage, but she had not paid any attention to them
she who had gotten to her position alone, due to the issues she faced to grow, she had huge distrust to others especially men, no matter how much sincerity the others had showed her she still stood silent
as such time had passed by and she was still single, she could have never bring herself to trust anybody, she knew that this was a problem but she couldn't solve it, even among other imperials she was not lax
time passed by and the feeling of loneliness set into her life, that's when she thought of taking a disciple to fill that void, that's when she had met Austin, a boy who kept claiming that he would be like her
it's from then that she found out an outlet to supply her 'love', he had filled up the hole left in her life, so she had sweared to protect him no matter what, to her, her disciple is always right
she had seen him just as a child but right now right here when that child had unhesitatingly fought to save her life, when he did not hesitate to sacrifice his potential for her, even after he had won, the first think he did was check upon her
And right now all bloodied up he knelt in front of her and confessed, for a moment her heart started beating faster and her body heated up, it was the first time this had happened so she didn't know what to do
seeing the flustered appearance of Eleanor i really wanted to laugh but i held it in, putting on a playful smile I shook my head, then i held one of her hands and put on the most serious expression i could
"the first time i saw you Eleanor was when i was a child and i was in awe of you, i had always admired you and I had always loved the bow"
"then by a stroke of luck..."
'which i manipulated'
"you became my master, you don't know how happy i was back then, i couldn't sleep for day's"
'because I wanted to get stronger'
"slowly but surely the more i spend my time with you the more I was infatuated with you, at first I thaught it was bad and wanted to supress it but when i had spend the time away from you there wasn't a moment i didn't think of you"
"so i decide no matter what happens in the future i would make you mine"
