BXBX NOVEL Chapter 147 Do You Want To Die?
Damien admired that at least the headmaster didn\'t seem corrupt on the outside anyway, as he even didn\'t hesitate to offend the Clive Family just to admit him into the Elite Batch.
He wondered if his talent seemed very astonishing to the point that the headmaster wanted to take him in as a student or whether it was because of Valentina.
The assessment resumed just as Leon Xeton left and the proctors were reading out the results.
Valentina obviously made it into the Elite batch, but her eyes were darting towards Damien time and time again. She knew Damien had Star Soothing Pills in his hand and saw him taking one.
But she still wanted to check up on him and make sure his injuries were not hurting.
The assessment soon ended, and only a small fraction of the remaining candidates passed.
The young ethereal practitioners who passed were naturally jumping with joy. Some even got emotional as they started wailing like kids while covering their faces.
Damien chuckled seeing the scene around him, and he could feel some gazes of envy and admiration on him while some even started to revere him for getting into the Elite Batch.
They knew now that he got into the Elite Batch, he would become a well-known figure or powerhouse in the future. Possibly he could even become one of the supreme existences of the empire and can cause waves across the continent.
Most of the girls\' eye\'s twinkled as they gazed at Damien\'s lethally charming face, and even some of the disciples approached him while fending off the girls who had recently passed.
As they got closer, they even pushed away Fynn, who had his mouth agape seeing the senior girls approaching Damien.
A girl approached him while few girls followed behind her, stealing glances at Damien, "Hello there, Junior brother Damien. This Senior sister\'s name is Susy. I am a second-year Gold disciple. Even though you have got into the Elite Batch, you could face some difficulties as you are new to everything. So, if you ever need any help, you know where to look."
Damien knew that all the batches had four years of study in total. Once they finish four years of studies, they would graduate from the Xeton Ethereal Foundation.
"Susy, you dare to lay your eyes upon someone who our Senior sister Denissa already has eyes on?" A girl around nineteen years old and with a haughty expression walked in from the side with few girls behind her.
"Rosi, what the hell are you doing here? He is mine! I got to him first." Susy said as she glared at Rosi.
\'Sigh, some things never change.\' Damien didn\'t know whether to cry or laugh, wondering when he even became hers.
"Really? Even if you got a final year senior from the Gold batch backing you, do you have the guts to go against our Senior sister Denissa from the Elite batch?" Rosi grinned contemptuously.
Susy gritted her teeth as if the name Denissa made her hesitant. But as she again looked at Damien\'s devilishly charming face and thinking about the halo of an Elite disciple around him, she became more determined and shouted back at Rosi, "Fuck off, Rosi. I am not backing down this time. You always snatch the ones I want."
Damien stood there like a bystander seeing the catfight going on in front of him.
"Hmph, you don\'t really—" Rosi\'s mouth froze as she felt intense bloodlust targeting her, sending chills through her blood.
Susy\'s expression also froze as she felt the same as Rosi. The two girls slowly turned their heads towards the side and saw a pair of blood-red ruby eyes murderously glaring at them.
"M-Miss Valentina!" The girls were terror-stricken, wondering why the super genius was looking at them with killing intent!
"Get...lost!" Valentina slowly said in a dark tone.
"B-But—" Rosi tried to let out some words, but she felt as if her neck was clutched tight by illusory claws.
Valentina moved her face closer to Rosi\'s and whispered in Rosi\'s ears, "Do you want to die?"
Rosi\'s features trembled, and her face paled as she heard Valentina\'s threatening words. She didn\'t feel as if Valentina was joking but serious about her words.
She shuddered back and stumbled on Susy, who already retreated the moment Valentina told them to scram.
Damien sighed, realizing that he can\'t stop Valentina from displaying her possessiveness before everyone else.
"I don\'t want to see any one of you coming near him ever again. If you do, then…" An eerie smile emerged for a brief moment on her hypnotic face before returning to her stone-cold expression.
The girl\'s gulped as their hearts quaked in fear and trepidation.
They never expected that someone like Valentina would be so into Damien from just the first day. Damien was not even coming from a wealthy family nor an illustrious prince. So, how could someone like Valentina show such interest in him?
The gang of girls quickly scuttered off despite the fact that Valentina was their junior. They felt as if their lives would be at risk if they lingered any longer. But when they thought about their senior sister, who was known to be quite vicious and cruel, they comforted themselves that Valentina was going to face the consequences for laying her hands on their senior sister\'s \'property\'.
But they had no idea that in terms of brutality, compared to Valentina, their senior sister would seem like a buddha.
Damien was standing behind Valentina and wryly chuckled, seeing her scare off those girls.
"Fairy Valentina, you just scared away your senior sisters. Trouble might come and find you." Damien said softly.
Valentina turned back and looked at Damien with a beautiful smile, "I don\'t care."
"I suppose I should thank you for saving me from them." Damien came closer and looked at her shimmering ruby red eyes and said with a devilish grin, "But why the interest in a humble person like me? I am quite the trouble magnet. Are you willing to stick close to a dangerous man like me?"
Valentina\'s cheeks flushed red as his face got closer to hers. The smell of his blood wafted through her senses and made her body feel hot. She couldn\'t understand why she was having these kinds of reactions lately only when she was near Damien.
Fynn stared at the two flirting in the open wide-eyed. He couldn\'t believe how Damien got the courage to talk like that with someone like Valentina. He wondered if it was because Damien also got into the Elite batch along with Valentina.
He admired that Damien was able to make Valentina get interested in him. He was hundred percent sure that if he was in Damien\'s shoes, he wouldn\'t even be able to make eye contact with her, let alone talk.
Valentina also stepped closer as her eyes almost met his eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered as she said, "No amount of trouble can keep me away from you."
\'This girl…\' Damien was surprised that Valentina seemed to get even bolder. He simply wanted to irk the men around him and get amused seeing their reactions.
But he didn\'t expect Valentina to take advantage of his intentions.
Fynn was surprised that Valentina was being so direct and wondered if it was love at first sight. He wondered if a girl would fall for him as well if he fought against her and proved his strength.
The men gnashed their teeth, seeing Damien so close with their goddess as it seemed as if the two were going to kiss any moment. They couldn\'t hear what they were talking about but seeing the expression on Damien and Valentina\'s faces, they could guess.
Some lackeys felt frustrated that all the third and final year seniors were preoccupied with some assessment. Otherwise, they speculated that Damien wouldn\'t be so brazen with Valentina openly.
The crowd soon dispersed as the proctors summoned the qualified candidates to collect their identity tokens and uniforms. The Bronze and Gold batch can wear copper and silver colored robes, respectively, while the Elite batch can wear an azure colored robe.
The uniforms were not mandatory, but they had to wear an armband having the same color as their uniforms.
For Damien, he would have to wear an exquisite azure-colored armband on his arm.
Everyone dispersed to their homes as the qualified candidates were instructed to come for the opening ceremony two days later, and other details about their studies would be discussed then.
Damien and Valentina went separately but reached their villa almost at the same time. Valentina immediately hurried towards him and said with a guilt-ridden expression as her eyes became moist, "Big Brother, I am sorry for hurting you. Does it still hurt?"
