Chapter 41
"And if you win?" Nelly Kira's voice suddenly rang out, cutting through the hushed commotion of whisperings and murmurings amongst the spectating students. This question of hers immediately raised question marks in their hearts. Judging from Nelly Kira's tone.. She didn't appear to be confident that she could win?! In truth, none of those present at the lobby area truly believed Jedidiah became King Shakespeare through his talents. To them, he was just a lucky country mouse who won by a fluke. Unfortunately the minority of the students who had actually attended the Mystical Arts Fiesta chose to remain quiet, eager to watch the show about to unfold. Although they had all witnessed Jedidiah's talented display and even congratulated him just a couple nights ago, that didn't mean they fully accepted him. In their perspective, Jedidiah was merely an outsider — They were all eager to watch Nelly Kira put him in his place! "If you win, what do I have to do?" Nelly Kira sharply repeated
Chapter 42
To ensure fairness, an Academy Instructor was called over to supervise the duel between Jedidiah and Nelly Kira. From this alone, Jedidiah was starting to understand that it wasn't just the students, even the Academy's Instructors took the title of King Shakespeare very seriously! "If the both of you are ready, you may begin." after warning the other students to distance themselves away from the two participants of the duel, the female Instructor gave the go-ahead. "Good luck." before she retreated along with the other spectating students, Dalia didn't forget to throw in this whisper. "Heh. This is going to be easy." although this was what Jedidiah's lips was saying, the system window screen that had just appeared before him, said otherwise. —[This Action will cost -1 Skill Gems]—[Congratulations, Special Skill; Divine Poet has experienced a level up!] Still not confident he was out of the woods yet, Jedidiah proceeded to level up the Special Skill for a total of five more time
Chapter 43
"One small victory? Don't start jumping into conclusions just yet!" As soon as these remark left Jedidiah's lips, Nelly Kira's expression immediately became focused and sharp — Like a blade that had just been unsheathed. Jedidiah easily comprehending the intent of her poem definitely came as a surprise to her. Now that he apparently had an headstart, any kind of mistake she made at this point will determine either victory or defeat — And defeat, was not an option! "Cold as a blizzard, an heart once broken." Following the first line of the poem, Nelly Kira noticed the scenery around her experience a drastic change. She was now standing at the bank of a lake. Right before Nelly Kira's eyes, she watched as a beautiful chain of snow flakes began gradually spreading about the surface of the lake. Summer came and went. Spring came and went. Autumn and even winter passed. Yet even as the seasons changed, the frost spreading across the surface of the lake remained completely unaffected.

Silver Drake Group. Ever since the introduction of Kaiju Beasts and magic practicioners stopped becoming urban legends and myths, the pharmaceutical industry experienced a sporadic boom and one of the pioneering companies who rode this boom was Silver Drake Group. Formerly known as Green Pharm, the company started out as a small private research institution and a struggling one at that. However everything changed when the company was completely bought over by the formerly up and rising business tycoon; Cecelia Kreese. Not only was Green Pharm lacking in the necessary resources to barely compete in the recently rising pharmaceutical industry, the company struggled to eke out the smallest bit of funding and when news came out that the company had been bought over at a fair market price, a commotion was set off. Whether it was the press, gossip sites or the economy top players, everyone all thought Lady CeCe had gone crazy. However in the short span of a decade, they were all forced

"Sandy? what are you doing here? Are you lost?" Duke Donalds shot the newcomer an unfriendly look. Even the other stakeholders who were present were all spotting frosty looks. What was the leader of Silver Drake's competitor doing in a board meeting? Were the security detail suddenly retarded? Why would they let him in?! "I am of perfectly sound mind and body." giving this calm response, Sandy Vanderwaal directly pulled over one of the empty seats, making himself comfortable in it. "You sure are ballsy!" Duke Donalds could no longer tolerate the other party's audacious actions. Jumping up on his feet, he pointed an accusing finger at Sandy's direction. "Oh? I guess the news haven't reached you yet?" Noticing the sympathetic look Sandy was directing his way, Duke Donalds felt an unsettling feeling taking root in the pit of his stomach. Although he was already starting to grow an inkling as to what Sandy was driving at, he ended up asking either way. Just to satisfy his curiosit

"I think he plays on the Academy's Kaizen Slam team. However as an Honors student like Bekky Kira, he is also in charge of running his own business." "Zach runs his own business?" now that Ayanna mentioned it, Jedidiah finally recalling Nelly Kira blaming her inability to attend the Mystical Arts Fiesta on the business trip she attended. As if already guessing what Jedidiah was about to ask next, Ayanna pursed her lips as she awkwardly added. "I don't know what kind of business he runs. All I know is that he is supposed to make a profit turn up rate of two hundred percent for the extracurricular activity criteria to be met." "T--Two hundred percent?" both Jedidiah and Dalia blurted out in astonishment. Although Jedidiah knew next to nothing about running and managing a business in real life, he had once played a game that simulated the experience. However despite the fact that he had played the game using virtual cash, Jedidiah knew just how difficult it was to make actual tangib

"You see.." roaming his gaze across the terrified faces in the cafe, Viper Teeth let out an evil chortle as he continued. "I cannot return back to my boss because if I do, I will literally get skinned alive. Luckily, you guys are not going to let that happen." removing his boots from off the table, the previously amused expression on Viper Teeth's face suddenly disappeared-- Replaced by a ruthless scowl. "I mentioned I was here to buy lunch didn't I? well you all are going to sponsor my lunch. So drop all your cash and valuables on this table." Viper teeth gestured towards the table before him. When the cafe customers heard this, their expression turned ashen. They were being robbed in broad day light and there was nothing they could do about it! The worse part was that none of them dared muster the courage to step up to their oppressor.- Well, except they had a death wish of course! Shadow Serpents. This was a label the government gave to a class of the worst criminals to ever
Chapter 48
"D--Don't say I didn't warn you!" realizing the other party had no intentions of falling for his bluff, the Cafe owner had no choice but to steel his resolve. Clenching his jaws, his fingers made to pull the trigger while he swiftly closed his eyes in fright. However even after a long time passed, the Cafe owner was puzzled.There was no gunshot? Curiously reopening his eyes, the Cafe owner was stunned to discover that the Durkie Pistol was no longer in his grasp. His heart immediately sank when he realized he had lost his only bargaining chip. "Eh. Although I might not be able to match the speed of a Durkie Pistol, snatching it up before you release the trigger isn't anything major.." playfully fiddling with the Durkie Pistol that was now in his grasp, a mocking sneer appeared across Viper Teeth's lips. "You're going to pay for that!" the smile instantly vanished from his lips. Tossing the Durkie Pistol away like he was discarding trash, Viper Teeth lifted up his right arm, his p

"Father!" an heart broken cry escaped Ayanna's lips as she attempted to rush forward. However a certain someone was fast which to grab her by the wrist, tugging her back. "Calm down." for some reasons, Ayanna indeed felt her nerves suddenly relax when she heard Dalia's voice."This sure is interesting.." standing at the lead, Jedidiah pursed his lips, his eyes roaming towards the direction of the trembling customers at a corner in the cafe, the currently enraged Viper Teeth and Ayanna's father, who turned out to be the cafe owner. From just the little observation he finished concluding, Jedidiah could already more or less understand the current situation. Since Jedidiah had suddenly become a plague in the eyes of the other Academy students, Ayanna had been kind enough to invite him and Dalia, to her father's cafe for lunch. Who would've thought that by the time they arrived, they would end up running into a real life situation of the cafe being robbed! This was definitely a first
Chapter 50
"S--Strong!" from where he was standing, Jedidiah gulped nervously, completely gobamacked at the sequence of events that just played out. In truth by the time he realized what was going on, Dalia was already grabbing Viper Teeth's wrist — He hadn't even been able to keep up with the other party's movement speed. "At the end of the day, my strength is still insufficient." Jedidiah felt depressed just thinking about it. He thought that with the current pace of his progress, dealing with a petty street criminal would be an easy task. Yet he just realized that wasn't the case. If Dalia hadn't tag along with him, Jedidiah suspected he would probably be the one writhing on the floor with nearly all the bones in his body shattered. Weak. I'm still weak! .. "What do you want to do with him.." ignoring Viper Teeth who was currently writhing on the floor as he grabbed his injured wrist while his face was contorted in pain, Dalia threw a questioning gaze at Jedidiah's direction. "Why are
