Chapter 142: Grand Wizard

Happy Reading~

===========

In fact, Eris, she knows I am the most important person to the Emperor.

If I was killed, she didn’t know whether Eric could leave this place or not.

At worst, Eric, he couldn’t help but be expelled from the empire.

In the end, the fact that I was much stronger than Eric wasn’t a lie.

With that alone, it is enough to prove that I am much more worthy of being in this place.

In fact, in Eris’ mind, she thought that one day I could join the hero.

Even so, there was no way I intended to get back together with my former childhood friend again.

In the end, I had decided I didn’t want to be by their side anymore.

No matter what, the fact that they care more about themselves is a reality.

If not, why should they be willing to leave their hometown?

Whatever it is, for me the past is the past.

If they really intended to offer me to join the hero’s group, there was no way I would accept their offer.

"Do it now..."

"What?"

"Do it if you can! Point your sword at me! What’s wrong? Are you scared!?"

*Thus!-*

Unexpectedly, Eris, she suddenly started stabbing Eric in the stomach.

Just look, I couldn’t even stop myself from showing my surprised reaction.

Even Ian, he seemed to react the same as me.

"Aren’t they friends? Why are they attacking each other?" Ian asked, trying not to think too much about what happened.

In Ian’s point of view, he thought it was impossible for the hero’s group to kill each other.

But apparently, he didn’t expect the woman behind Eric to be so brave as to stick her sword right into his friend’s stomach.

Actually, deep inside my heart, I felt very satisfied watching Eric get stabbed in the back.

It’s just that, for some reason, I can’t stop myself from thinking back to my past.

I felt, like I was remembering the situation where I beat Eric.

And sure enough, what I feared happened.

"Eris! What are you doing?!"

For a moment, my gaze couldn’t help but fall on a man.

It’s true, that man, he is none other than Ash.

"..."

Don’t know why, but when I turned to Eris, she remained silent from where she was.

At first, I thought Eris was really scared.

But apparently, Eris, she continued to express as if nothing had happened.

Deep inside Eris’ heart, she had intended to stab Eric in the back for a long time.

"Wait! Ash! Don’t get caught in your anger! I’m sure, Eris, she is now being controlled by Wrath. This incident is exactly like 3 years ago."

"But Alicia...! The fact that she dared to stab her own comrade cannot be denied! Moreover, she doesn’t show the slightest hesitation on her face!"

’He started again. Do you still feel guilty towards this man? Hah... I have to calm Ash down as quickly as possible.’ having no choice, Alicia, she decided to hold the top of Ash’s head.

I think, Alicia guessed, she originally intended to knock Ash unconscious.

But apparently, Alicia, she started stroking Ash’s head.

’Their relationship hasn’t changed since childhood...’ I thought, admitting that Ash and Alicia’s relationship was that of childhood friends.

Since long ago, when I first got to know Ash and Alicia, they were the two closest couples.

However, the fact that Alicia was Ash’s first friend was real.

"You have to calm down. Forget what happened in the past. What happened in the past cannot possibly be changed again. You have to remember."

"Ugh... I understand. Alicia, go and help heal Eric. Regarding what happened..." without realizing it, Ash’s gaze, couldn’t help but fall on me.

Don’t know why, but Ash, he thought he felt very familiar with the current situation.

If he remembered, this scene looked exactly like when I beat Eric.

Maybe because of that, Ash, he couldn’t suppress the anger inside him.

For Ash, Eric’s death was the most painful thing.

Until now, Ash, he still feels very traumatized by my actions in the past.

Without further ado, Ash, he started walking towards me.

"I don’t know what happened. But if you feel guilty, I hope you understand. Can you explain? What happened?"

"Explain? What do you want to hear from my mouth? I know, Hero, you have realized what your friend has done."

"...You’re right. He deserves the blame for daring to attack your friend. However, do you think I can just let this matter go?"

Don’t know why, but Ash, he without hesitation drew his sword from its sheath.

Just look, the moment when Ash had drawn the sword from his waist.

Ash, he purposely attacked me right in front of me.

Luckily, I consciously moved away from Ash’s attack.

’Very fast! What attack was that?’ I asked myself, realizing that Ash’s attack was a deadly attack.

If I get hit by an attack from Ash, I can’t help but lose one of my organs.

But fortunately, what I was worried about was unlikely to happen.

Not long after, I decided to launch my attack against Ash.

Of course, the attack I launched was a full power attack.

I know, knowing Ash, he is the strongest among the students.

However, the fact that Ash is the chosen hero is real.

With him being a hero, it is not impossible for Ash to succeed in defeating the Warrior and Mage stage experts.

*Phang!-*

’As expected of a hero... He’s very strong. He didn’t even budge from where he was.’ I thought, continuing to make a face of disbelief.

Supposedly, the attack I launched this time could blow away an ordinary Warrior expert.

But apparently, Ash, he was able to continue standing from where he was.

With that alone, I knew Ash’s strength was much stronger than mine.

[Warning! Master’s life is in danger! Initiating full-scale forced upgrade!]

"One Slash That Scorches Everything."

For a moment, when Ash had said this sentence.

A slash tens of meters in size hit me, as if it wanted to split me into two parts.

Still, it doesn’t matter whether I managed to block the attack from Ash or not.

In fact, I couldn’t help but be injured all over my body.

With this alone, I knew there was no way I could withstand attacks from Ash.

Luckily, the system, he decided to raise my physique to its limits.

Of course, I shouldn’t have too much trouble fighting Ash.

’Be over... As I thought. This man, he was no different from any other human. He’s weak.’ Ash thought, thinking I had been defeated in one attack.

Just look, the moment when Ash’s attack hit me.

My body, inevitably, began to be thrown backwards.

With that alone, he knew it was absolutely impossible for me to continue standing from where I was.

Unfortunately, Ash, he didn’t know I was preparing to launch my attack from behind.

"Don’t daydream. Hero, you are very strong. I admit that. But, do you think I intend to continue staying where I am?"

"..." without realizing it, Ash’s expression, once again couldn’t help but turn into shock.

Don’t know why, but Ash, he didn’t expect me to be able to continue standing from where I was.

Usually, when Ash has launched his sword attack.

Of course, there was a possibility that experts at the Warrior and Mage level and below could not help but faint from their places.

But why? Why can I continue to stand from my place?

With that alone, Ash, he knows I’m not an ordinary guy.

In Ash’s point of view, he thought I was much different from a first year student.

In less than a moment, a small smirk formed on Ash’s lips.

Don’t know why, but Ash, he thinks I’m worth beating.

’Really... To think that there are other first year students besides me who are much stronger than the average Warrior level.’

*Plang!-*


Suddenly, there was a loud crashing sound around where we were.

In fact, this loud impact was enough to cause people within several tens of meters to hear the impact of our attack.

Luckily, they didn’t care much about what happened.

To them, they thought that these clashing sounds were the result of a fight between seniors.

If not for that, how could the impact of this attack reach their ears?

Therefore, it was not strange if they thought that this clash was the result of a top class senior battle.

"What the hell? It’s different from when Noah fought against that guy. This attack is much scarier." Ian commented, unable to help but continue to cover half of his face.

Ian had to admit, he couldn’t help but believe what he was seeing.

Just look, the area where he is, has been completely destroyed due to attacks from me and Ash.

Whatever it was, it didn’t matter whether Ash managed to block my attack or not.

In fact, I couldn’t help but be pushed back a bit.

"Cough!-. Very dangerous... The hero’s physique is truly extraordinary." I muttered to myself, endlessly admitting that Ash’s physique was much better than mine.

If I fight Ash at close range, I’m afraid there’s no way I’ll be able to touch this guy.

And worst of all, I couldn’t help but fall from where I was.

’Eh? What’s that?’ for a moment, I saw a little golden light appear all over Ash’s body.

Don’t know why, but I feel like this golden light is a scary light.

I felt, as if I could be destroyed by this light.

But well, I knew there was no way I could be defeated in one attack from Ash.

*Knock!-*

In a split second, there was a knocking sound from behind where I was.

"Can you stop? You have violated academy regulations. I hope that with both of you punished, you will be more aware of your mistakes."

"You are... the Grand Wizard?! Sorry for my impudence!" unexpectedly, Ian, he suddenly started lowering his head.
