happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I...actually beat Kyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I did it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight was so fast that he didn't realize he beat Kyle at all...and also something else which disturbed his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....why am I friends with those two idiots?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex lowered his head when he thought of what just happened, and then his embarrassment reached new levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on top of it, he had joined in on the bickering later and was now also in detention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked himself multiple times why he had done so...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then he concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those two fucking idiots know how to drag someone else into their vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe it was just him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hey, there's still one good piece of news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is now the rank 6 student, replacing Kyle, who is now rank 7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nice, it must be for him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>IF ONLY THE DAMN BICKERING DIDNT HAPPEN BETWEEN THE THREE OF THEM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas stood in front of his opponent, a student who wished to dethrone him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his fight with Alan Peccator, he would have to fight off the idiots that wanted to take his spot as rank 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His opponent, student rank 13, was a handsome young man with golden hair and eyes, reminiscent of Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name was Frederick Volta, and his name really fitted his affinity and appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor began the fight, and Lucas was now facing dozens of lightning arrows fired by Frederick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Lucas wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this guy a fucking idiot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of lightning attribute awakened challenges an earth attribute awakened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Lucas thought maybe he had a trump card, but no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man thought he could beat Lucas even though he was at an elemental disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas simply conjured an armor of Earth around his body, a peculiar. type of armor that covered his entire body, encasing him in the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one wondered how he could move, his feet were sticking to the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he needed to do was slide by controlling the Earth to make him move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he did just that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved his body like a ram and made his way towards Frederick whilst being encased in the armor of earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning arrows and all other lightning skills Frederick had were useless against his armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, Lucas Rammed into the poor boy, making the area between his legs spikier than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after that, all that was heard were Fredericks's blood-curdling screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the battles had ended similarly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most students who challenged the top 10 had been destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only exception was Alexander, who destroyed Kyle instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the only one who made the feat of beating a top-ten student possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were defeated using the most humiliating ways possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Elaine, she bombarded her challengers with flashbangs and then hit them with swords of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Olivia used pure skill with her rapier to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serena put them in an illusion where they thought they were fighting her but then went out of bounds unknowingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sabrina just fried the living heck out of her opponents with Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas beat the shit out of them, whilst targeting a specific area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry ended his fights pretty quickly by firing strong arrows of wind that chased his opponents until they hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah, although he still beat the guys that challenged him, didnt humiliate them like the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan on the other hand, still had his fights remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And currently, he was fighting one opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas Arden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan didnt want to admit it, but he wanted to fight Elijah instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Problem was, he misread Arden as Ardor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so he was stuck in this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll show them all your nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh and to mention, his opponent was also a blabbermouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke shit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be fearful of these Muscles!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, and his body began to Enlarge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was using a skill called Body Modification, which used mana to build temporary muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear he was a melee fighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, the instructor began the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas Arden rushed towards him, and raised his hands high up in the air, clasped them, and brought them down and intending to crush Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a giant currently and honestly it looked like he could crush his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his opponent wasn't Alan Peccator that is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan simply raised one hand and then grabbed those two large hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas gasped in shock, before screaming at the top of his lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Crack!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fake muscles made by mana couldn't compete with Alan's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they were made by the power of the Phoenix, they were still much denser and stronger than those made by a skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Alan showed that they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He completely shattered his opponent's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I SURRENDER!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his fight ended like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then came time for his second one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With someone random he picked\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily Smith is a girl who used the element of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped up on the stage, whilst her orange hair made her the attention of many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only Sabrina wasn't around that is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still attracted everyone's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily was beautiful but didnt hold a candle to Sabrina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped on the stage with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be ranked 1 from today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed rather far too confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor began the fight, and people soon found the reason for her confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have a taste of a C-rank skill!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Flame Tigress has been activated.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant tiger made of flame materialized and ran toward Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people were shocked at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she planning to kill herself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't handle the aftereffects that were for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sure enough, she was coughing up blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she still held a smile even though it was bloody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*BOOM!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger of flame had jumped on Alan and exploded into a large explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily waited for the instructor to announce her win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why isn't he announcing my win?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm dying over here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, horror filled her eyes as she saw her opponent who was supposed to be burnt to a crisp, despite being C rank, walk out of the flames nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible...even C ranks cant survive that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a reason the skill was renowned, and why its drawback was so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A B rank would have a hard time surviving it, not to mention a C rank?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, she wouldn't know how Alan survived it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She passed out soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Alan won by default\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why use a skill you can't handle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And definitely more so against me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is she stupid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or did she wholeheartedly believe that she could last until I was knocked out by the skill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't even hurt me that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh well, at least I didnt have to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas is the only one left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I have to give him a good beating if I want to get tutored by the smartest student in Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is my only hope of passing the exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I am actually looking forward to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe becoming a student of the sword saint changed him, but he improved as a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't bother Sabrina anymore, made my job easier, and didn't act like a pervert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was also the one that worked the hardest, even including me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will be a fun fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fight between the two students of the sword saint who trained the hardest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This will be a very fun fight!\u003C\u002Fp>",1269,"2026-06-02T11:57:26.352Z",1,"novelbin.me","6c4170a78546e1cc53e8d795d94de3f2a522b44e83a8f6e9677447ef2c20df93","the-villain-s-story-chapter-164","the-villain-s-story-chapter-162",910,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-villain-s-story-cover.jpg"]
