Chapitre 34: Epic Battle
The sun hung brightly in the air. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement that surpassed that of the previous days. Obviously, this was because of the battle to come. The battle between the first year king and the student representative.
Lenin came to the arena with Brian. They took a seat amongst the audience since they weren't going to participate in any more matches. Currently, Lenin ranked third amongst the first years.
Aina on the other hand had not come with them. By the time Lenin and Brian were ready, Aina was still nowhere to be seen. Lenin and Brian had decided to leave her be so she could cool down. Lenin still could not understand the reason behind Aina's outburst.
After a while, the crowd had settled down. Most of the dignitaries and officials of the country were present. Even some foreign ambassadors were seated at the VIP area.
Immediately a strong prescence descended on the people in the arena. They all looked into the sky where the pressure was from. Princess Swallow-heaven hovered high up in the sky with a domineering demeanor. She spoke lightly but her voice boomed throughout the whole arena.
"I, the principal of the Immortal Institute, will personally oversee this battle. I will not waste your time with any more words, since you are so eager to watch the upcoming battle"
Saying this, she licked her lips.
By this time, the crowd was fully hyped for the upcoming battle. She continued;
"Let the two contestants come forth. The student representative and the first year king!"
The crowd burst into shouts and applause. From the waiting area, a pale beautiful young girl walked forth. Her bearing of a monster who looked down on everything was evident. Even so, she carried the innocence of a young girl.
She went to the stage.
"Student representative, Matyr Dhampir is ready!" She said loudly.
The cheers from the crowd grew louder.
It was left with the first year king. The crowd waited in anticipation.
One minute...
Two minutes.....
Three minutes.....
Ten minutes later.....
Princess Swallow-heaven frowned.
'That boy. He is normally lazy, but this is beyond insulting."
Princess Swallow-heaven was furious.
The crowd begun to murmur.
'What's happening?'
'It has been over twelve minutes. Why is the kid still not here?'
'Maybe something terrible happened to him on the way here?'
'Hah! Could it be that he is afraid of this girl after watching yesterday's battle?'
'Hahahah.... That is probably it!'
Lenin sat in the crowd without saying a thing.
'Who is the first year king? I'm not sure I've seen him before. Does he even have to attend class with talent like that?'
Suddenly a hand held his shoulders tightly and pushed him away.
"I need some space to sit down" a voice said dryly.
Lenin turned to the new comer.
"Aina? I didn't think you would come"
He said cautiously.
"Well you don't think about alot of things. Like how we would feel when you keep things from us!" Aina said without looking at Lenin.
"Wait, what? Keeping things from you? I've told you everything"
Aina finally looked at Lenin. He gaze pierced through Lenin's eyes. It seemed she had become even more irritated.
"I never thought I'd see the day when you'd flat out lie to my face. You didn't even flinch."
Lenin was speechless. He couldn't defend himself.
Seeing that Lenin had nothing else to say, Aina looked back towards the stage.
'How can I be so stupid? I didn't think she would be so angry about something like this! But... I still can't tell her. For her sake!'
With his decision made, Lenin decided not to think about it for now.
An hour passed.....
The crowd was getting irritated. They had already been waiting for an hour, but the contestant had still not arrived. However, they dared not speak out since they could tell that the Principal was already angry.
A pressure like no other begun to slowly creep around in the arena. Molecules in the air begun to disintegrate. It was coming from the VIP area.
Princess Swallow-heaven was fuming in her seat.
'That stupid arrogant kid, I'll teach him a lesson after the battle'
She said with a clenched fist. Master Vacto run towards Princess Swallow-heaven in a hurry.
"Excuse me Principal! Your emotions are leaking out, you might kill someone if you don't control yourself! The barrier isn't strong enough to protect them from your aura!"
"I'll kill him!"
Princess Swallow-heaven said without looking at Master Vacto.
Master Vacto was confused.
"Who?"
"Who? Who? That brat of course! I just spread my divine conscience. That brat is sleeping!"
"What?"
Master Vacto asked stupified, but then he calmed down. He should not be surprised since this was the first year king they were talking about. The adopted brother of Princess Swallow-heaven.
"Strengthen all the barriers."
"Principal! What are you planning to do?"
"Just. Do. It!" She said through gritted teeth.
"Yes principal!"
Master Vacto scrambled to quickly strengthen the barrier. When the Princess was angry, it was never good news.
"It is done"
Master Vacto bowed with respect.
"Cover your ears"
"What?"
"LANVRIS, YOU STUPID BRAT! GET HERE NOW!!!!"
Princess Swallow-heaven's voice boomed throughout the arena, the school and the whole country. Cracks and fissures appeared on the ground as it shook violently.
People in Freedom Country looked into the sky as they heard the voice that pierced their ears. Even so, the people in the arena were neither injured nor did they hear anything. This was due to the strengthening of the barrier.
After two minutes, a youth in a green kimono came from the waiting area. He walked calmly with a smile on his face. His eyes were mostly closed. He gave of the aura of a goofy and friendly person. He had a traditional fan in his right hand.
As he walked towards the stage, he looked towards Princess Swallow-heaven. He slightly opened his eyes.
'He he.. he... You didn't have to call me like that, sis.'
He mentally said to her.
'Don't test my patience boy! I'll give you a good spanking after this!'
His eyes twitched and he almost slipped and fell.
'That old hag!'
He stabilized himself and walked onto the stage.
"I'm impressed. Your level of pride goes higher everytime I meet you. Lanvris Secraf!"
"Ah! I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I hope you didn't wait too long."
"Humph. Let's just get this over with!"
....
The crowd marveled at the boy who stood infront of Matyr. They wondered how powerful he could be.
'Whow... Is that the first year king?'
'I wonder why he's so late!'
'Never mind that, an epic battle is about to start!'
.....
Lenin, who watched the confrontation felt his heart stop.
'What is this? Why is that guy here? Wasn't he a third year? How can a guy like him be a first year? The monster I bumped into when I was on my way to Master Vacto's office!'
Aina felt the change in Lenin's mood. She stole a glance at him to make sure he was alright.
......
Princess Swallow-heaven stood up from her seat.
"Since our contestants are here, let the match begin"
Immediately Princess Swallow-heaven said that, Matyr released her full cultivation of the fifth transformation. With an explosive speed, she arrived infront of Lanvris before he could react.
'He's too dangerous. Giving him time to attack is nothing more than courting death!' Matyr thought.
"Oh?"
Lanvris simply said as Matyr attacked.
She pulled her hand back and attacked with a force that could split mountains.
BOOM!
A wave of air accompanied by an explosion rang out.
"What?" Matyr murmured.
Lanvris still had a smile on his face. With his hand behind his back, he looked at Matyr's fist that was a few inches away from his chest.
Matyr's fist could not move. Her fist was connected to wind pressure that was preventing her from reaching Lanvris.
"Is this all you have, I haven't even lifted a finger"
Lanvris smile changed from a goofy one into a sadistic smile.
