294 A Shocking Entrance Test (2)

"G-Girlfriend…" The young man's expression was completely stiff.

He could swear he did not have bad intentions when he tried to hit up the demon girl. It was just the natural instinct of a man after seeing a beautiful girl.

However, he ended offending a B-Rank genius girl and getting humiliated in public.

And to make things worse, after he was beaten by the girl, her boyfriend appeared in front of him.

Just by looking at Bloed's smile, the young man knew Bloed did not have good intentions.

"Bloed is it? S-So you are at B-Rank as well."

"Yes, senior. You should go easy on me."

The young man's expression could not be stiffer.

What did he do to deserve this!?

Bloed, however, was not planning to make things too difficult for him.

Of course, he was still a bit displeased that someone tried to hit up his girlfriend in front of him, so he planned to punish this young man slightly.

"Then, are we going to start the test?" Bloed asked.

The young man nodded. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and took a defensive stance.

After his experience with Liu Ying, he knew that Bloed was probably stronger than him.

Of course, it did not mean he planned to get beaten for nothing. In fact, he planned just to clash two or three times with Bloed and then declare that Bloed passed the test.

He was taken by surprise when he faced Liu Ying, so he was defeated in a blow, but he was confident he could last for a while if he gave his all.

After all, Bloed was just a B-Rank like him. The difference in their strengths should not be too big.

Bloed immediately understood the young man's intentions when he saw his stance.

However, he did not care.

In fact, he thought it was a good opportunity. He could use this battle to test the results of one of the techniques he had been training lately.

As soon as the battle started, the young man released his mana powerfully. He used it to create a film of mana around him and strengthen his defenses as much as he could!

To his surprise, though, Bloed did not attack him immediately as Liu Ying did.

Instead, he smiled.

And took a step forward.

[King's Aura]!

Psychic power surged out of Bloed's body, turning into a power of will that surged towards the young man!

Immediately, the young man turned pale. His eyes opened wide in fear, and his teeth clattered loudly.

"Y-You… W-What…"

In his eyes, Bloed seemed to have turned into an absolute king. A ruler of destruction that could end his life at any time.

He could see how Bloed walked towards him calmly, step after step, as though everything was under his control.

It seemed as though for Bloed he was nothing more than an ant.

'Move!!!' He screamed loudly in his mind, trying to force his frozen body to move, but besides his arm that twitched slightly, his body did not obey him.

The strange state of the young man surprised the observers. They looked at the look of fear and terror in the young man's eyes with confused expressions.

But when they saw Bloed walking calmly towards him, they understood who was the culprit.

"That boy…"

"Another B-Rank…"

"And he did not seem older than the girl just now. Did they come together?"

"It looks like two new geniuses arrived in the city today."

Bloed ignored the gazes directed towards him. He just continued walking towards the young man with a relaxed smile.

Inwardly, though, he was pretty happy with the results of the technique. He had not grasped it completely yet, but it could already show such power.

Of course, part of the reason was that all his will was focused on the young man, but even so, the result was incredible.

Finally, after his seventh step, Bloed arrived in front of the young man.

When he saw the look of terror in the young man's eyes, he felt a bit apologetic.

With a small sigh, he patted the young man's shoulders and stopped his technique.

"You lost." He said.

Instantly, the young man collapsed on his knees.

He started to gasp in fear, with his eyes and his hands shaking and sweat all around his body.

He seemed on the verge of hyperventilating.

Bloed could not help but raise an eyebrow. It seemed like the effects of his new technique were stronger than he thought.

Or perhaps the young man's mental strength was much weaker than he expected.

Still, the young man was a B-Rank practitioner. After gasping for several seconds, his expression returned to normal.

Even so, when he looked at Bloed, his eyes filled with terror.

"You…"

"Did I pass?"

"… Yes…" The young man bit his lips and said, before leaving the stage with a complicated look.

Bloed shrugged and left the stage as well.

In fact, he felt a bit bad for the young man. Just a little bit, though. Not enough to prick his conscience.

When he left the stage, Liu Ying was waiting for him with a wry smile.

"I thought I was already impressive enough, but even I can't compare to you. Defeating him with just a gaze? Really?"

"… To be honest, even I didn't think it would be so effective."

Liu Ying rolled her eyes in exasperation and pinched his arm. "What am I going to do with you? Can't you let your girlfriend have the limelight for an instant?"

Bloed smiled wryly and held her hand affectionally, making Liu Ying pout but effectively calming her down.

While the pair flirted with each other, it was Regina's turn to go up the stage.

Surprisingly, her opponent was the young man again.

Someone had asked the young man if he wanted to leave and rest, but he refused. He probably wanted to keep his last bit of pride remaining.

When the young man saw how beautiful Regina was, his expression stiffened.

"… You will not tell me you are a B-Rank as well, right?"

"Of course not, don't worry," Regina said with a gentle smile.

But just when the young man sighed in relief, Regina continued.

"I'm already at A-Rank. And the young man that just beat you is my lover and master."

… The young man was sure today was the unluckiest day in his life.

....

With a bit of luck, I'll post another chapter late tonight...
