“Huh?” Art raised an eyebrow when seeing the change in the woman’s expression, or better put, he could feel it. ‘What is she planning?’ Immediately after, he felt himself lose control of 5 earth bullets, which was when what she had in mind dawned on him. “ I see. What a bothersome woman. “ Because of the number of earth bullets, his control was spread thin enough for her to take control over a few. Before Art was able to regain control to stop her, the five bullets shot towards the red demon-faced masked man. As it reached the normal range, the shockwaves were released, rippling all five bullets while progressing further to Art. All the earth bullets moved behind him, towards the direction of the incoming attacks, merging together to form a shield. The shockwaves slammed, cracking the shield while the resulting force spread across the arena. “Is it just me or do those shockwaves seem stronger?” One of the contestants left standing muttered. Art had a slight frown on his face w
Art’s eyes darted towards the arena entrance as a figure walked towards them. This person was covered with a black cloak, wearing a white and purple wolf mask. Yes, this was the same girl he met during the contest registration.Something was very unsetting about her, especially with the kind of smile her lips were curved into.She arrived beside the kneeling Art with her smile growing even brighter, and before he could react, her hand was on his lips cleaning the little blood left.‘She’s fast!’ He hit her hand away from his face using his before stepping back.He didn’t know if he was imagining things but she seemed saddened by this.“Who are you?” He couldn’t help but ask. Her smile returned as she voiced out, “Quite disappointing, but you’d be finding out soon enough. Why don’t we take care of him first.” Hearing her voice caused his headache to be triggered once more as memories came flooding in. He groaned in pain with his eyes widening as he realized who this person was. “Tr
“Great to see you Kia-ri. If you had said that any louder someone might’ve heard you,” Art face palmed.He was currently without a mask walking with his sister who kept pouting while getting scolded at by her brother. Due to the damages done to the arena, the contest was cancelled.He didn’t mind because he achieved most of what he participated in the contest for.Right in front of him was a display from his relis showing the amount of APs he had present.// 27,530 //All this was gotten from betting which was smoothly handled by Blake and was his true reason for joining the contest.If he had just managed to eliminate the other three, he would’ve made double of what he had now.Such a shame.But he had a big smile internally nevertheless.Wait! He was more glad about seeing his little sister right?You could say the former body owner had a lovely relationship with his little sister Freda.Only two people in his life showered him with love without a care about his disabilities and th
“Lady Freda, where are you?” The holographic man’s image voiced out. “Why ask me that? I’m sure you already know where I am. Aren’t I being tracked?” She replied, obviously dissatisfied by this.“Well, that’s true, but what reason caused you to leave the school like that and come here.” He looked towards Art who wore a blank expression. “I guess there’s no need for me to ask that either. All this just to come see your failure of a brother?”Of course, he knew the infamous Art Von Silver and Art knew him as well.The man in the hologram went by the name Kurt Von Silver. He heard that this man was put in charge of his sister which was something the Silvers usually do for students who show promise in their third year, as part of the final act of preparations for the outside world.The atmosphere changed instantly, matching the frown on his sister’s face. “What was that you said about my brother?”Art was expecting this.The easiest way to piss her off was to speak badly about him right
With his full name getting called like that, he was without a doubt the person being spoken to.Turning behind, he saw a female figure dressed in an emerald and gold sleeveless robe, accompanied with green elbow length evening gloves. Her brown and green hair was tied into a beautiful bun, endorsed with a very expensive looking golden hair pin.The mask covering her face had the same emerald and gold colour as her dress robe.She screamed elegance and easily stood out from everyone else. The aura she gave off was something unique.So even with the mask on, quite a number of people could tell who this was.And Art was one of them.“Princess Elora?... What are you doing here?”He expected someone with her status to possibly not even be within the school premises, and even if she was, then it would be in a special place.But now, not only was she here, she also seemed to have been searching for him, whatever the reason was.“Even with my mask why does so many people recognize me?” she s
Once again Art found himself seated in class. The first lecture for the day was scheduled to commence in the next few minutes.Art slowly glanced around before letting out a sigh.It was quite evident from some of their facial and body language that they had a lot of ‘fun’ last night.It was a different way than his former world, but the fact still remained that if you want to become successful you have to strive for it from an early age.Not everyone had the luxury and luck of becoming successful later on in life without earlier investments or struggle. Or at least that’s what he believed. He was still learning things from this world.Not that he cared about them tho.Just shortly after, Professor Prisca walked in. She seemed a little bit exhausted if paid close attention to.Standing in front of the class, she looked around letting out a sigh before proceeding to speak.“I’m sure you all had lots of fun yesterday. Well I have more good news for you.”The words she uttered lifted th
A young man about 23 years old could be seen standing in the middle of several people who lay lifeless in a pool of blood. It was deep in the night and such a sight would be both terrible and frightening to a normal person, but this was a desolate area so there was no one to notice what had happened here.He was also covered in blood belonging to both him and the people on the ground as he used the remaining consciousness he had left to stare at the woman who he had fallen in love with and even wanted to marry.She had betrayed him by handing him over to the people who sought after his life the most. His family was very wealthy and influential, striking fear in almost anyone who heard of them, but what most people didn't know was that there was an internal war going on between his father and his uncle. He wasn’t interested in all this but always stayed on his toes because he was the first son of his father making him the heir.But today he had gone on a date with his fiancé, ending
His eyes flickered for some time before finally opening. His vision was blurry at first but it took only a few seconds to get clear.‘Where am I?’ he said internally while slowly gazing around the luxurious room where he lay. The bed he was lying on was so comfortable that he felt like going back to sleep but when he remembered his death along with the strange voice and screen, his eyes widened as he immediately sat up. He observed the room in more detail. The style and design were like that of an 18th-century royalty but the materials used were something the 21st century could only wish for.The windows were wide open and he could hear some clanging sounds coming from outside.The air he was breathing was much purer than his former world.Before he could dwell further in his thoughts, the golden screen which had appeared after his death, materialized once more in front of him.He moved slightly backward due to shock before reading what was written.[Congratulations!
