Chapter 38 School Examination (Part III)

[Third Person POV]

Reina then walked up to the stage. From the looks in her eyes, she had expected that she would win.

Arriving at the stage for her battle, Reina prepared to fight. Reina's opponent was a giant bat. The bat had two razor-sharp teeth capable of draining the blood of anyone it sank its teeth into.

Without any hesitation, Reina started to fight. Reina's weapon of choice is a rapier, one fitting of a noblewoman.

Calm as water, Reina waited for the bat to attack. Creating a high-frequency screech, the shockwave around Reina pushed her back for a few steps.

After the screech, the bat then attacked, flying toward her. The speed of the bat would catch most people off guard. But Reina had expected it.

With her predictability, she had dodged it with ease. Not only did Reina dodge the attack coming from the bat, but she made a counterattack.

Her rapier had stabbed and made a hole in one for the bat's wing. Losing some of its flight ability, the movement of the bat became shaky.

Even so, Reina didn't charge in. From how she fights, she would mostly do a counterattack as her primary strategy.

Having the advantage, Reina didn't let it get to her head. She marked her target, waiting for every opportunity to strike.

The bat used another screech attack to regain its standing, trying to get Reina off guard. But even so, Reina stood still.

Seeing that its attack didn't do much, this time, the bat went a little quicker, trying to take a bite out of Reina.

And for the final attack, making a hole into the bat's forehead, it died without much struggle. Reina quickly finished the fight and relaxed.

"It was easier than I expected."

"This fight didn't pose much of a threat. How do people even lose."

To the people who heard what she said, the losers of each fight couldn't help but be pissed. While people that had nearly cleared it would only give a weary smile.

Anyways what Reina had said had given a lot of reactions to the crowd.

[Charles POV]

"Nice, you made the fight look easy."

"It was easy. I don't know how some of these people are even losing. They shouldn't be here if they can't beat a challenge like this."

Woah, ruthless. But what she said is correct. This academy is for the best of the best. We can't have talentless people take up space.

"Anyways, let's leave. Watching for hours made me tired."

"Master~! What will we do next?"

Nene, who was behind me, hugged me around my waist. For her to do this in public is something bold.

"Let's get lunch. We haven't had a burger in a while. Reina, Montogmery want to join?"

With Reina's previous bland personality, I doubt she had ever eaten a burger. So why not use the chance to do it now?

"A sandwich?"

"No, a burger. The burger tastes better. Have you seriously never tried one before?"

I was joking when I said she never ate something like a hamburger. Even in my shitty old life, I had eaten it at least once. But to think a wealthy person like her has never tried it.

"Nene... Don't you think it's sad?"

"Master... To think small tits, never eat a hamburger..."

"Don't pity me. And you stupid cat, don't call me that!"

"To think Young Miss would've such lovely friends. I'm so proud."

After leaving the school building, we walked around to find good fast food to eat. On our way, a man blocked my path.

"Charles, is that you?"

"Who the fuck are you?"

The way he talked pissed me off for some reason. He acted pretty condescending and acted as if he knew me. But looking at him, I didn't know him.

"Don't you remember me? Well, it has been four years. I'm Luis. Your friend from middle school."

It took me a while to remember who he was. His wild look changed into someone pretty stylish. There was a significant difference from his previous look.

I always knew that he was an idiot, but for him to be cocky facing me. Giving him a greeting, I punched him in the face making him fly backward.

And after punching him, I gave him one percent of my curse. This fucker thinks he could show up before me and act like that.

"Master, is that alright~?"

"Don't worry. This is how we greeted one another during school."

Nene somewhat knew about my past. Knowing what I meant, she looked amused at the man's face planted to the ground.

"You didn't kill him, right?"

"He twitched a bit, so I doubt he's dead."

I didn't care whether he died or not. But since he had the nerve to show up, I got to take the chance to beat him up.

"What was that for?"

He groaned in pain, wondering why I did that. I couldn't help but twitch my eyes hearing him say that.

This mother fucker, was one of the people that picked on me during my days as a child. Of course, I was going to beat the shit out of him.

"Isn't this our greeting? Besides, what do you want? My companions and I are getting lunch."

Now that I see this piece of shit, my mood couldn't be worse. To think that a bully of mine would be crushed just like an ant.

There were cases of people bullying one another before one turn at eighteen. And once they have aged for the system to count. The cases of a victim killing the bully are pretty standard. That's why bullying is rare in this day in age.

Cause no one wants the target to get revenge on them just in case the victim has a higher talent than them.

The shit stain in front of me is lucky that I didn't outright kill him. Maybe not, since I had cursed him. But I couldn't help but wonder what his life would be like in the next few days.
