As a small shockwave erupted, Vincent and Emanuel’s fight began. Tenth-class students were watching even though they’re scared to go out. Vincent’s classmates are now watching him fight the despicable noble. And as for the watchers, their fight is tremendous and to them, this time this fight is going to be called a fight now as they are both evenly matched. Vincent keeps on punching the body of Emanuel but it was no use since he is turning his body into steel. Emanuel has the advantage, but winning against Vincent has proved to be a challenge. Vincent is too fast and is a much better fighter than Emanuel, but that didn’t stop him on being overly determined that he can defeat Vincent. Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall that the tenth-class students have created.

“Shouldn’t we stop them?” asked one student.

Champ smirked “Stop 2 nobles that are fighting? Hilarious! And besides, who can stop Vincent?” says Champ.

All of them knows why Vincent fought Emanuel and let them hide. It is not because the tenth-class can’t take the first-class, it is just that Vincent knows the consequences on fighting and injuring a noble. Once you’ve fought a noble or hit them, their Household will be immediately alerted and it will definitely get you kicked out of this Academy and the worst case scenario is you’ll be imprisoned. And Vincent knows those consequences, since he is a noble himself, he can fight Emanuel without any worries. Since battle among nobles are not considered as a crime, it is more like a battle of supremacy, it is to show who is stronger. This battle only happened thrice in the noble history and this fight right now is the fourth. Vincent then punched Emanuel in his left rib and it did not leave any effect at all. Emanuel then punched Vincent who immediately blocked but was eventually launched on a wall. Vincent then looked at his left and saw something flashing in a classroom door, but he did not bother to know what it is since he already got his hands full. He did not expect Emanuel to have this power. Vincent thought that since he has steel powers, it will be too heavy for him to swing his arms fast and because of that speed, the force of the attack increases which is bad since Vincent is already exhausted and he will collapse any time now. Vincent stood up and attacked Emanuel repeatedly without any results, he tried his best to at least put damage on the body of Emanuel by punching him at full force, but it was all useless.

“Do you now see the differences in our strengths?! I’m invincible, impossible to beat. Especially by the likes of you!” yelled Emanuel and launched an attack on Vincent.

It pushed Vincent to the defensive side and it’s unfortunate because Vincent can’t defend properly with his hardening and body weakening.

“How can I penetrate his tough steel body?” Vincent asked himself as he continued to defend himself from the strong attacks of Emanuel.

Vincent tried to figure something out but all of his plans are useless. He tried to initiate every plan that comes up but was immediately fended by Emanuel. And just like Vincent has thought earlier, this fight isn’t going to be easy and he will most likely be defeated. With all his attacks being useless and laughable, but  Vincent continues to think of something that will penetrate Emanuel’s strong defense. He already has the possible outcome of that attack but he still needs to come up with a solid attack. Vincent’s plan is to wound Emanuel while his body is covered in steel. He wants to make him bleed especially now that Emanuel has all the confidence and determination needed, so the outcome should be possible. Vincent’s planned outcome is to make Emanuel panic. But how can he wound Emanuel first? No attacks are working and he is just becoming more and more exhausted and weak. He tried to charge Emanuel head on with a strong punch, but it was once again countered by a punch. And as their fist collided once more, just like Vincent expected, Vincent’s arm which is hardened snapped. Vincent bellowed in pain. Vincent hopped back and clutched his arm. In just seconds, his arm healed and just left excruciating pain. He was panting and staring at his enemy who is laughing at him. Their level really is not on par and although Vincent hates to admit it, but Emanuel has the upper hand in this battle. Vincent slightly smirked as he haven’t done anything right yet, he was always involved in fights and out of all of those fights, he only won once. Vincent once again punched Emanuel on his chest but it was also futile, Emanuel then punched Vincent on his chest and Vincent was launched up and hit the ceiling. Vincent landed on the floor on his knees, and in this position, he looks like he is bowing down to Emanuel and showing that he is inferior.

Emanuel laughed. “That looks good! A noble bowing down to another! You really are pathetic!” he mocked Vincent as he stood up and their fight continued.

Sophia, Mr. Brown and other students are not aware on what’s happening right now. The rumbles and shaking must be enough to be noticed by the students, but no, no one heard or felt anything which is bad since this fight isn’t going to end well.

“HAHAHAHA! There’s no way you’re going to beat me!” confidently said by Emanuel.

Vincent then reached out to his left waist then noticed something. He didn’t bring his sword, and that’s the only chance he got.

“Come on! Vincent, think, think, think of a way to wound him or make him bleed even just a little.” Says Vincent to himself.

And then an idea has come up and he isn’t sure if it’ll work or not, but since he got no other choice, he says to himself that it’s worth a shot. He then charged at Emanuel and tried to match his speed and attack power. Crashing and clanging of steel can be heard.

“What should we do?” asked a tenth-class student who is peeking out their door.

“What should we do? Are you crazy?! That battle is a battle of beasts, how can we possibly do something?” says another student.

The first student who spoke didn’t reply since his classmate has a point.

“In any case, you are still recording, right?” asked the other student.

“Yes.” Answered the one peeking at the door.

And as Vincent punched Emanuel on every part of his body without any effect, and that’s on Vincent’s own perspective. Because Emanuel can’t admit it. He doesn’t want to lose face. He doesn’t want to be defeated. But he is now feeling pain. Emanuel now can’t see Vincent properly as he moves so fast and swiftly, and the power of his attacks are just unbearably strong now. Vincent is really desperate to win.

“This trash is pushing me to my limits? Impossible!” Emanuel thought to himself.

As Vincent continues to attack him everywhere, he is repeatedly whispering “An opening. An opening. An opening.”

He is desperate to find an opening, his body can’t hold out anymore. His vision is blurring, and it’s not because of his glasses because it is already shattered, Vincent is now seeing 2 Emanuels and that’s not good.

“My consciousness is slipping. Shit, I have to finish him quickly.” Vincent whispered to himself.

But the thing is, he can’t find any openings. And to his annoyance, Emanuel screamed and swatted Vincent and he hit the wall. Blood now trickling off Vincent’s face. Then, as Vincent landed on the floor, his legs are now shaking and it’s obvious that his body can’t take it any longer. He was breathing heavily and his body hurts so bad that it started to be numb. With no choice, Vincent stood up and straightened his fingers on his right hand and hardened them. Emanuel then screamed on the top of his lungs and launched at Vincent with his fist ready to hit him. It may be his life flashing before his eyes, but Vincent remembered what his grandfather said.

“A swordsman isn’t a swordsman just because he has his sword. He is a swordsman because he keeps his sword inside his heart. Pointless for me to say that and mine is different, since I’m no swordsman.” And this is what Vincent remembered.

The raging fist of Emanuel is now inches away from him and when it was about to hit him. Vincent crouched down and the fist hit the wall and created a hole and trapped his arm there. That’s when Vincent made his move, as he quickly stood up, he slashed the chest of Emanuel with all the strength he has left with his hardened fingers. And it might be impossible, but he literally cuts through the tough steel defense of Emanuel and slashed him from his waist unto his shoulder. Vincent stepped away from Emanuel and observed. Emanuel’s face started twitching and as he took out his hand from the wall, he quickly looked at his chest and touched it. Blood flowing out of a long wound. He started to breathe heavily and his heart beats faster than normal. And now, the goal of Vincent has been accomplished he just needs to wait a little bit longer.

Emanuel kept on repeating the word “Impossible” inside his head.

“How can he cut me? How did he wound me? How? Why?! I’m invincible!” muttered Emanuel.

He then looked at Vincent who is also breathing heavily and clutching his left rib.

“Weakling? He’s a weakling, right? Someone must’ve cut me and not him, because I can’t be wounded by a weakling, a disgrace, an embarrassment. I’m correct, right?” says Emanuel as he talked to himself.

Then another word has come to his mind, it is “Kill”. He then screamed and his scream has shattered the windows. Emanuel then launched an attack on Vincent.

“That’s my chance.” Says Vincent under his breath and clashed fist with Emanuel again.

But this time, Emanuel felt the pain and he immediately panicked and attacked Vincent consecutively without any target. Emanuel can’t see anything nor hear anything. But since Vincent needs to end this quickly, he hardened his fist and punched Emanuel in the gut and Emanuel wailed in pain. Vincent then landed several more attacks on him and it all worked. His plan has succeeded and what he needs to do now is to knock this guy out of conscious. Vincent continued his repeated attack and Emanuel who can’t see, feel nor hear anything just received all of it. Then as Vincent hit the face of him, Emanuel regained his consciousness and began to retaliate. The fierce battle of the 2 started again, each side has no intention on being defeated nor bowing down. Feeling exhausted, Vincent backed away from Emanuel a little to take a bit of rest.

Emanuel gritted his teeth. “Let’s finish this, you disgrace!” yelled Emanuel as he can’t contain his anger anymore and just wants to beat Vincent right away.

Vincent smirked. “This time, I agree on what you said. Show me what the surname Gold really stands for,” taunted Vincent and both of them launched at each other and as they ran towards each other Vincent yelled “Come on!” and jumped high in the air and hardened his fist.

Emanuel stopped and launched his fist on Vincent. Their fists clashed once more, but this time is different. As their fist collides, Emanuel’s arm snapped and Vincent’s fist went straight to his chest and that put Emanuel on the ground. But that didn’t end there, because of the strong impact of Emanuel’s fall, the floor collapsed and both Vincent and Emanuel fell. They landed on the 4^th floor with clouds of dust everywhere. That’s when everyone knew what is happening. Students and teachers from the 4^th floor all went outside to check, Mr. Brown is among those who went outside. And those from the upper floors looked down at the hole. A teacher then ordered a student to blow wind through the clouds of dust and the student followed. As the dust was removed, it revealed a boy laying on the ground, all bloodied up and unconscious while another boy is standing and his right foot is on the chest of the boy laying on the ground. The one who is standing is also bloody and it’s clear that they’ve been into a fight. And that’s when all of them noticed who those boys were.

“Vincent?!” lashed out by Sophia.

She then looked at the boy laying down and recognized that it was Emanuel Gold. She is now having mixed emotions; she doesn’t know what reaction she would let out. Every student seems to stop themselves from throwing their hands up and cheer. All of them wanted to fight Emanuel but they can’t since he’s a noble and now that they saw him laying on the ground and the one who obviously defeated him is Vincent who is a rebel in this school, they couldn’t help but feel glad.

“I’m….. Exhausted.” Muttered Vincent as he fell face first across the body of Emanuel.

Mr. Brown rushed to the aid of his student and whispered. “Great job, Mr. Miles. But I’m afraid that you’re in big, big trouble.”

Mr. Brown then ordered someone to help him carry the students to the clinic. And as someone helped, they rushed the 2 into the clinic.

The fight between nobles has ended, and the consequences of this battle is still unknown.
