Chapter 46: Heruk’s Viciousness

After Aizu’s battle, there was a really quick match.

The winner was a dual practitioner girl who was also quite famous as she was Heruk’s main lover.

She had managed to beat her opponent in seconds.

Her name was Lor, and she had almost no talent on neither of the paths, she had barely managed to enter the academy.

She was the second oldest in the tournament, being only younger than Heruk by a week.

However, she was slow because her own lack of talent, Lor needed to rely mainly on the resources she got from Heruk to reach the 3-star mortal realm in both paths.

Furthermore, she also liked to abuse Heruk’s status and exploit others.

She was a pretty girl, even if she was only twelve she appeared to be a bit older, and a lot of guys got seduced by her, the other girls disliked her due to that.

Her personality matched well with Heruk, and they were the most disliked couple of the academy. Both also had other lovers and liked to cheat the opposite gender, they were known as the shameless duo.

The next one to battle was George.

His opponent was very skilled with the spear and was at the peak of the 3-star mortal realm, George needed to use his Combined Skill at the max power since the start of the battle to be able to win against him.

Fortunately, the heavy weight of George’s enormous greatsword managed to break the spear and sent the opponent outside the stage.

However, he won merely because the opponent was overconfident and dared to block his attack head-on.

The opponent went out of the stage due to the impact but he wasn’t injured, he lost due to underestimating George’s attack.

After seeing that battle, Yale felt that George would lose his next battle unless he had another trump card.

Yale knew that George had already shown his best skill to win the match, his opponent was very strong.

In fact, Aizu also showed all her power in the previous battle, being at a disadvantage of one stage they needed to go all out to win the matches.

Yale had more luck with his opponents than them, even if he had battled two times.

The first opponent was careless, while the second was the type of opponent Yale countered the best.

Thus, even if Yale had battled two times, he still didn’t need to use all the skills he had publicly shown before.

The next battle was a long one but was finally won by a girl who used a combination of rod and spells, her opponent’s power was similar to her own and was a difficult fight.

It was followed by another rather long fight that was won by a spear user focused on speed. His opponent was a muscular boy who had very good defensive skills, but in the end, he was tossed out the stage even if he wasn’t injured.

Being only at defense in a battle like that wasn’t a good solution, but without enough speed, he couldn’t counterattack the spear user.

Finally, the last battle of the round was Zack versus Heruk.

Yale expected to see a good battle, but that didn’t happen.

The reason was that when the match just started Heruk had already caught Zack by his neck. He had used some type of skill to increase his speed until Zack wasn’t even able to see him before getting caught.

However, Heruk didn’t toss Zack outside the stage after catching Zack as it should happen in a typical match.

Furthermore, Zack couldn’t speak due to being gripped by his neck. Thus, he couldn’t give up.

“A loser archer, that path doesn’t have any future, how do you dare to battle with the exalted me with such weapon like a bow? I should kill for your insolence, but that would be too troublesome to deal later, so I will merely let you suffer a destiny worse than death. I’m magnanimous right?”

Heruk disliked archers, and anyone who used a bow was trash in his eyes, and he liked to destroy the trash that appears in front of him.

He didn’t know Zack before, but Heruk, as he was relying on his background, didn’t fear any consequences as long as he didn’t kill Zack.

Heruk didn’t like that restriction, in his clan, he killed anyone who he didn’t like even if they were stronger than him, someone else will kill them for him, but he didn’t dare to disobey his ancestor by killing someone openly in the academy.

However, Heruk had devised other means to enjoy the suffering of his targets, he tortured them and left them in a state that after the battle would suffer more than being dead.

Heruk smiled as he slowly ripped off Zack’s limbs and dispersed all the Inner Qi and Magic inside Zack’s body.

He crippled him completely and left him half-dead before tossing him out of the stage.

While he was doing that, he wore a broad smile on his face, like a kid enjoying his new toy.

What Heruk did wasn’t against the rules of the tournament, but if anyone dared to do that would be despised by anyone and the teachers would be angry.

However, the students feared his background and the teachers didn’t want to start a war for protecting a kid unrelated to them.

Thus, no one acted against him.

“I order some healer to use natural healing on him; he shouldn’t die.”

Those words could be interpreted as that even Heruk didn’t dare to kill inside the academy.

However, anyone who had studied a bit about the nature of healing magic from the library books would know that asking to use just natural healing was even more vicious.

Because natural healing wouldn’t regrow his limbs and would cut any possibility of using any other healing magic to heal them.

Even the archery teacher who had some liking to Zack didn’t dare to do anything as Heruk’s clan could turn his life into a hell.

Heruk intention was to cripple Zack forever; he did the same a lot of times before, so the opponents who know it avoided battling with him.

However, as no one dare to spread the news for fear of becoming his target, the newcomers and those who never met him before didn’t know anything about him.

Fortunately for Zack, Ange was the quickest on arriving at his crippled body and then she used all her power to cast enough Time Healing to restore Zack’s body to his previous state. The Time Healing even restored Zack’s dispersed Inner Qi and Magic.

She had been paying attention since Heruk said his arrogant words, she never heard of Heruk as Ange didn’t go to see any tournament before, but as a healer, she could only dislike people who enjoyed harming others.

On the other hand, Yale looked calm and inexpressive, but he was utterly enraged inside. Even if sometimes Yale felt that Zack was a bit annoying when he entered his chatterbox mode, Zack was still his friend and couldn’t forgive what Heruk did.

George and Aizu couldn’t hide their emotions like Yale, and they were about to jump to attack Heruk. Even if they weren’t that close to Zack, Heruk’s acts against him were enough to enrage them.

“Cool yourselves, attacking him right now would only give him a reason to hurt you in self-defense, even if you ended worse than Zack the academy would do nothing.”

Fortunately for them, Yale stopped their reckless actions. If they dared to sneak attack Heruk, they would be giving him an excellent excuse to accidentally killing them in self-defense.

Heruk looked at Ange with hate as she completely healed Zack.

He wanted to leave Zack crippled for his whole life, so he was displeased with anyone who disturbed his plans.

“Why did you completely heal him? Didn’t I tell that he should be healed with natural healing? The sequels of the battle would remind him who is superior. If you erase all of them what meaning it has?”

“You don’t have any authority to order me how I should heal.”

Ange was unusually angry, as a healer she couldn’t tolerate Heruk’s actions and words.

“Of course I have. Do you know who my ancestor is? Even the chairman didn’t dare to offend him. Even if you are stronger than me, you can’t be so disrespectful to the esteemed myself.”

Heruk was confident that his ancestor power would scare anyone no matter who was.

“As an apology to me, you are my little slave starting now; I will teach you that there are people who you should never offend.”

Heruk didn’t fear Ange as he didn’t know anything about her, he was a narcissistic boy who only cared about himself.

If Heruk wanted a healer slave, he was sure that his ancestor would ensure he had the one he liked the most.

After seeing Ange’s healing skills, Heruk decided that he should be the only one who to benefit from them.

However, Ange wasn’t a random girl in the academy, Heruk’s words managed to trigger Sainac’s anger.

“If you dare to touch a single hair of her. Or if you dare to say any more blasphemy against her, I will stop worrying about who your ancestor is. I will kill you.”
