BXBX NOVEL Chapter 34 It Was Too Much For Me
I was standing at the empty area, separated from rest of the students and was waiting instructor to speak.
Instructor is a woman in her late twenties and around 185cm or so. She has long brown hair that reaces to her back and arrogant green eyes. Her name is Eliza Silver, who was companion of the Hywel in the novel. She is genius mage that reached high 7th circle before her 30th birthday.
"Hey pretty boy come here!" Instructor Eliza called out but no answered to her call.
"I said come here!" Instructor Eliza said and pointed at me.
I went to her side and looked at her coldly.
"What?" I said.
Eliza looked at me with grin and pressured me with her aura.
"Why didn\'t you come, when i called first time?" She asked calmly.
It seemed to me that her personality is the same as the novel\'s Eliza. I didn\'t like her in my past life because in the novel she was arrogant bitch with inferiority complex. She is one of the most talented person in this kingdom but she can\'t stand to someone with more beauty or talent and trample them one way or another.
Although she gets character development later, it is nothing to do with me. Right now she is the arrogant bitch that makes trouble to me.
I won\'t even try to make her my slave because it is less worth with her troublesome personality that won\'t be change minumum 10 years.
Well i can\'t do anything to her right now though. So i inspected her aura. Her aura was larger and denser than mine. Her aura characteristics were sharp, cold, lively and dark. Probably because of her metal affinity, great will to live and negative karma.
"Because you didn\'t specially call me." I said coldly and released my resistance to her aura.
I didn\'t have any pride or honor, so there weren\'t any need to resist to her aura and get injury.
My knees hit the floor because of her aura but i didn\'t have any time to worry about my knees. Lucy was furious because of my humiliation, so i quickly moved my eyes to give signal her to don\'t do anything stupid.
Fortunately she understood my intention and stopped herself. Though she was still furious.
"Aren\'t you pathetic one to satisfy your ugly desires from someone at age of 14? You should get over your inferiority complex, it makes you more pitiful. My pride won\'t break against to high 7th circle mage, while i am just high 4th circle." I said cold but quiet voice.
I purposely stood up separately from other students because i knew that bithcy instructor Eliza would do something to me if she clearly sees my beauty and talent. She did what i predicted, so i hit her with my words to her inferiority complex and said something like \'i wouldn\'t be ashamed to lose against to high rank mage.\' because i thought that if i say something like this she would force me to a spar or duel against to someone around of my strength that counters my affinities with theirs and that is what i was aiming for.
There is a mage that her power is closer to mine and her affinities completely counters my Ice affinity. She is Alicia Ashtorn, the future power house and Hywel Ashtorn\'s step-sister.
"What are you talking about?" Instructor Eliza said with little bit trembling voice and released her aura.
I am in the academy\'s barrier, so she can only humiliate me with aura, nothing more. Thus she was little bit scared and anxious about that someone found out her weakness. If i wasn\'t in the academy, she would kill me without even thinking about it.
"Don\'t get me wrong. I just said what i saw." I said calmly, got up and shook the dusts from my knees.
"What did you see that, you dare to say something like this to me?" Instructor Eliza said calmly, as if what i said was nonsense. But i could easily tell that she was curious and anxious about when i said that i really knew her inferiority complex.
"You are just pitiful being that doesn\'t likes who are more talented and beautiful than you." I said quiet enough for only instructor Eliza hear.
"But don\'t worry, i am not judging you and won\'t tell anyone about it. Even gods aren\'t perfect and you are just a pitiful human." I whispered with smile.
Instructor Eliza\'s scowled at me and speak harshly.
"You think you know me. Go back to your place you little shit!"
I turned back and began to walk.
"I changed my mind. Come back pretty boy." Instructor Eliza called out.
I went back to her side calmly.
"Asthorn brat come here!"
Instructor Eliza call out again and Alicia Ashtorn came to other side of instructor Eliza.
\'Yup. I knew that she would do this. I will beat this Ashtorn girl quickly and get close to her slowly.\'
\'We are like magnets of opposite sides. She is energetic and fiery and my image right now is cold and calm but opposite sites of magnet attracts each other. Thus i knew that she will probably come to me after this encounter.\'
"You will fight against this little shit and humiliate him. If you do that you will get something you want. Do you understand Alicia?" Instructor Eliza said quiet enough for only Alicia to hear but i heard it too because of my improved body.
After hearing Instructor Eliza\'s words, Alicia nodded excitedly. She wasn\'t excited that instructor Eliza would owe her a favor, she was excited to fight.
"You will spar with this girl. Do you have any question?" Instructor Eliza asked and looked at me.
"Why will i have to spar with someone? This is magic practice class, not sparring or dueling class." I said flatly.
"This is practice too. Won\'t two of you use use magic while sparring?" Instructor Eliza said and smirked.
"What you said is true instructor but i don\'t want to beat a student because of some instructor\'s petty grudge." I said quietly.
"Hey! Watch your words. Who will beat who?" Alicia said to me with grin.
Well, she has destructive tendencies, so it is normal to be competitive or battle maniac. But even so, it is impossible for her to be more experienced in fighting than me.
I looked at Alicia coldly and turned my gaze to instructor Eliza.
"If someone wants to beaten, even i can\'t do anything about it. Tell the rules and start this pointless spar."
"Rules arent complicated. Make clear critical strike or fight until one of you lose consciousness. You won\'t die, go all out." Instructor Eliza said and started to count down.
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Start!"
When i heard Instructor Eliza\'s shout, i chanted and ice spear appeared went towards to Alicia at average speed.
Alicia blocked my ice spear with wall of molten magma and sent me a classic spell fireball.
I let fireball hit me.
Why? Because i thought that if my shirt burn and my body reveal itself, it would be easier to attract Alicia\'s attention to me.
After fireball hit me, i chanted and ice armor appeared on top of me and prevented fire to burn me.
Alicia took advantage of my long chant and casted fire pillar right below me. Fire pillar engulfed me fully but i didn\'t received much damage.
\'Is Alicia weak? or is she holding back? Or am i too strong for her?\'
i concluded that Alicia was too weak.
It was kind of strange. I knew that the Alicia front of me was inexperienced kid that didn\'t fight to much but i didn\'t think that she was this weak. Her mana quality and quantity was high but she didn\'t know how to use her mana effectively and efficiently.
I stepped back and get out of the fire pillar and dissolved my ice armor. I thought that if i appeared with my armor fully intact, it would be attract too much attention.
After dissolving my armor, my beautifully shaped muscular body exposed itself to world. I showed myself a little bit more than 5 seconds and continued to fight.
Afterwards we fighted like this for a 15 minutes or so. She would attack me, i would defend myself while i was chanting attack spell.
I held back a lot. I intentionally didn\'t prevented some spells that came to me and didn\'t attacked her with my full capabilities. Or else she could lost the spar in a second.
But after fighting like this for 15 minutes, i got immensely bored. Fighting like this was more boring than \'history of magic development\' class.
Although i got resistance to boredom for a degree because of my experience for the years of boredom, but it was too much for me to endure this any longer.
So, I casted blink spell without chant and appeared behind of Alicia with ice sword in my hand, which was touching her neck and my other hand were pulling her hair back to expose her throat to ice sword.
"You lost." I said coldly and dropped her down like rag.
