34

Anon is sitting on the last bench as always, with Eve beside him.

"Where is she?" Anon asked Eve.

"Who?" Eve asked.

"Elena. The girl that I was asking you about," Anon explained.

"Oh, there... Fifth bench from the front. She is sitting at the 3rd position from the left," Eve pointed.

Anon looked at her and noticed a girl with long blue hair sitting at the location Eve was pointing at.

"Mr. Jule will give me the answer to this question," Richard said as he looked at Anon.

"Hmmm.... Same hair as your mother, huh?" Anon said as he observed her and completely ignored Richard.

<Demonic Eyes>

[Name: Elena.]

[Race: Elf]

[Class: Archer]

[Level: 65]

[Description: She wants to focus on studies and become like her mother.]

"Mr. Jule, I am calling you?"

"Hehe... Level 68. Most of my spells will work on her," Anon said, a smile appearing on his face, but he still ignored Richard.

"Okay, that's it. You paid the fees, but that doesn't mean you can ignore me," Richard snapped and threw the chalk towards Anon with all his power.

<Telekinesis >The chalk stopped exactly 5cm away from Anon's face.

"What? The chalk is floating in the air?"

"Look, Mr. Richard's chalk didn't hit him."

"How did he do that?"

The students started talking about this, but Anon immediately looked at the attacker who threw the chalk at him.

Anon stared at Richard with a very serious expression.

"Now you're looking at me, huh?" Richard spoke as he looked at Anon.

Anon immediately threw the chalk back at him with double speed.

Boom

Richard barely dodged the chalk, but when he looked back, he noticed that the chalk had gone into the blackboard.

"What the-? How can he do this?" Richard wondered as he murmured in a low tone.

"Why did you attack me?" Anon asked as he stood up from his place.

"W-What? I-I didn't attack you. I just threw a chalk at you because you weren't paying enough attention in class, and you used magic in class without my permission. You are done for," Richard said as he looked at Anon with a smile.

"No, I was forced to use magic when you ambushed me with your attack. Why did you ambush me?" Anon asked with a serious face.

"Well, he's saying the right thing."

"Yes, the teacher attacked him first."

"I agree, Mr. Richard attacked him first."

The students immediately started discussing this matter.

"Are you saying that it was my mistake that you had to use magic?" Richard questioned.

"Yes..."

"You could've just taken the hit or focused on the lecture in the first place," Richard spoke.

"First of all, I study in the best academy of the elven kingdom, and you think as an honorary student of this academy, I don't even have any reflexes for danger? Obviously, I will use magic in self-defense as the first reflex. You are a teacher and an adult; you should know that," Anon spoke.

"Second, I was paying attention to the lecture. Who says that I'm not paying attention?" Anon asked.

"I say, I saw you laughing while you were looking somewhere else," Richard spoke.

"What proof do you have?" Anon asked immediately.

"Woah, brother is scaring the teacher."

"Mr. Richard got scared of a child?"

"Haha... He knows how to use his words."

Everyone started laughing as they noticed Richard's helpless condition.

"Okay, you want proof, huh?" Richard asked.

"Yes," Anon replied.

"Well, if you were paying attention in the class... What is the topic that we are studying today?" Richard asked.

'Oh, fuck. I wasn't paying attention... Okay, there are so many calculations on the board. Maybe magic math? No, I don't think that's even a subject.

Shit! It's me vs. him.' Anon thought as he tried to figure out what Richard was teaching.

[Multiple Casting of opposite affinity spells, master.] Link spoke up.

'How do you know?' Anon asked.

[I have been studying everything in this class... I know that this will help you pass the exam, but everything he taught until now is old knowledge to me. I don't think he has something new to teach.] Link explained.

'Nice one, Link.'

"You're teaching Multiple Casting of opposite affinity spells," Anon replied.

Suddenly Richard's jaw dropped. He looked at the board and tried to find out if he had written today's topic anywhere on it.

"T-That's correct," Richard spoke in a very low voice.

"Can I sit now?" Anon asked.

"No, tell me the answer to this equation right here," Richard asked as he pointed to a half-solved equation.

'Link?'

[That would be 20 seconds, master.]

"The answer is 20 seconds," Anon answered.

"Hahaha... Got you. This equation has never been solved until now... Even the best magicians couldn't solve it from here.

It proves that you're not paying attention to the question," Richard spoke as he laughed at Anon.

'Link, are you sure that's the answer?'

[I am 100% sure, master. One of my intelligent friends in the past showed me the same problem. We solved it for the next 200 years, and only then we found its answer: it was 20 seconds.] Link spoke with confidence.

'If you're confident, then this fucker is gone now.'

"The answer is 20," Anon repeated.

"Huh? Did you not hear me? No one was able to-"

"I did, and the answer is 20 seconds," Anon cut him off.

Everyone fell silent and just looked at Anon and Mr. Richard.

"C-Can you prove it?" Richard asked.

'Link, can you?'

[I can, master.] Link replied.

"I can," Anon replied.

"Then do it." Richard called Anon as he summoned another chalk in his hands.

Anon walked up to the front and took the chalk from him, starting to write something on the board.

In just 1 minute, Anon solved an equation that no one had been able to solve for decades.

Richard was speechless... The whole class was speechless.

"This is impossible... This can't be happening right now." Richard spoke as he looked at the board.

"H-How did you prove it?" Richard asked with a surprised expression.

"That's for you to find out," Anon said as he turned around and started walking back to his seat.

As he turned back, the first person he saw was Elena. Her body was medium-sized, and her face was beautiful, just like her mother's.

She had a cold demeanor and sharp eyes.

Elena also looked at Anon, and both of their eyes met each other. Anon didn't miss the opportunity; he immediately winked at her and gave her a small smile.

After that, he went back to his seat and sat down.

"Hmm...? Was he winking at me?" Elena said as she started looking toward the board.

"Very well... Today's lecture is over. I will meet you guys after the hunt festival now. Have a good holiday... Bye," Richard said as he exited the class.

"Uhmmm... Can I sit here...?" A girl asked Anon as she came back to the last bench.

She had red hair, red eyes, a good body build, and short pointy ears.

"Hmm...? Who are you?" Anon asked.

"I am a big fan of yours, my name is Deris. I see you every day; you're like the bad boy of the class, and I thought if I could sit with you?" She asked.

"Oi Deris, sitting with him won't change your reality," a guy shouted from the front.

"Yeah, a half-breed like you will always remain a half-breed."

"Ahaha... Don't listen to them. My mother had some genetic problems, that's why I was born this way. I am not a half-breed," she spoke.

"You are lying," Anon spoke up.

"Huh?"

"Your eyes are moving too much. It means you are lying to me. If you want to lie and make it sound like the truth... You have to say it while looking directly into my eyes," Anon spoke with a smile.

"So, that means you will not let me sit here, right?" Deris asked.

"You can—"

"You don't even deserve to be in this class... Half-breed." Before Anon could finish his sentence, another guy shouted and threw a thick wooden ruler toward Deris.

<Telekinesis >The ruler stopped just a bit before hitting her.

Anon threw back the ruler with double speed at the same guy who threw it.

Bonk

"Ouch!"

"You can sit," Anon spoke as he slid a bit to the right.

"That was cool," Deris said as she laughed at the guy.

"Oi, Jule. You can't use magic like that in the class," a guy with a very big body build stood up and spoke. This guy was none other than Oxmaul himself.

The big bully of the class... Oxmaul the dark elf. His father has many companies in this kingdom, and he is one of the richest nobles around.

No one tries to mess with him because everyone is afraid that his father will destroy their family, except one guy.

"Oh, what are you going to do about it? Go back home and cry about it to your mother?" Anon spoke up.

"Hahahhahahhaha..."

"Hehehe... He destroyed Oxmaul for the second time."

"Brother knows how to mess with people with his talk alone."

All the dark elves in the class started laughing at Oxmaul.

"A-Are you making fun of me?" Oxmaul asked with an angry expression.

"If you can't understand that... Then you're stupid, simple as that," Anon replied calmly.

"Oiiii, don't challenge me." Oxmaul jumped out of his bench and walked toward Anon.

Anon also stood up and walked toward him.

Both of them stood in front of each other, their faces very close to each other.

While Oxmaul was filled with anger, a very big smile was sticking on Anon's face.

"Don't you know who my father is?" Oxmaul asked.

"Why are you getting angry? It's not my fault that your mother never told you who your father is," Anon spoke as the smile widened.

Everyone started laughing even more loudly at Oxmaul.

Oxmaul's face turned red in anger. He took off his left hand's glove and threw it at Anon.

"I, Oxmaul Paradise, challenge you to a Duel in the Immortal Ring." Oxmaul spoke.

"Whoa... An Immortal Ring challenge?"

"What the hell? Did he just challenge him to an Immortal Ring match?"

"Jule, I think that's enough for today. We should go back and sit down." Eve spoke as she grabbed Anon's left hand.

"Yeah, Madam Eve is right. We should let it go. He is Oxmaul." Deris spoke as she grabbed his right hand.

"No, no..." Anon said as he removed his shoes and took off his socks.

He threw the sock at Oxmaul's face and spoke, "Challenge accepted."

Everyone inside the class fell silent as they observed what Anon just did.

"Did he just throw his sock at Oxmaul's face?"

"Why would he do that?"

"I don't know."

"Uhmmm.... Why would you throw your sock at him, Jule?" Eve asked.

"Well, I accepted the duel. So I have to throw a piece of my cloth at him as well, right?" Anon asked as he looked at Eve.

"No, you idiot. If you want to accept the duel, you have to give your glove to the opponent," Deris explained.

"Oh... But I don't have any gloves?" Anon spoke.

"Here... Take mine." Eve said as she gave him her glove.

"I accept," Anon said as he threw the glove too.

"Very well... Come to the Immortal Ground in one hour. I will meet you there," Oxmaul said as he immediately left the room after that.

"Yeah, I'll be there, Mr. Ox," Anon said as he saw him leave the room.

Suddenly, a teacher entered the room. He had green hair and green eyes.

"Are you Jule?" He asked as he directly looked at Jule.

"Yes," Anon replied.

"Good. Here, you have to sign this before fighting in the Immortal Ground." The green-haired teacher spoke as he gave Anon a form.

There were words written at the top of the form. Anon read them out loud, "No Life Guarantee Form."

Eve, Deris, and Anon... The three of them are sitting on the last bench of the class.

Eve and Deris are talking about something really important while Anon is casually sleeping while the teacher is still teaching.

"Jule, wake up," Eve said as she touched Anon.

"Hmm...? What? Which girl is getting naked? Oh, Eve. What happened?" Anon said as he woke up from his sleep.

"You are sleeping? How can you even sleep after Oxmaul just challenged you to an Immortal Ground Duel? Don't you have any questions about it?" Eve asked.

"Yeah, I do have one question," Anon spoke.

"What? Ask me... I will answer it," Eve spoke as she looked at Anon.

"What is an Immortal Ground Duel?" Anon asked, and both of them just looked at him with a still expression.

"Y-You are kidding, right?" Deris asked.

"No, I am really asking. What is that?" Anon asked.

"If you don't know what an Immortal Ground Duel is, then why would you say yes to Oxmaul's proposal?" Eve asked with a confused expression.

"Well, he threw his glove at my face. That's one reason, and the other reason is... No, there is no other reason," Anon spoke as he looked at Eve.

"Fuck...." Eve said as she grabbed her head with both of her hands.

"Wait, we have to tell him," Deris said.

"Okay, in an Immortal Ground Duel. You are allowed to do anything, literally anything. You can use anything you want inside the Immortal arena.

You can't die inside that arena... Every injury you sustain will be healed almost instantly.

So, to win this match, you either throw your opponent out of the arena or beat him down to shit until he accepts defeat himself.

The duel Challenger and the duel Accepter both will be given choices according to the duel.

They will put 12 cards in front of you guys.

There will be 6 blank cards on each side... You will be given the opportunity to flip a card when it's your turn.

If your card is not a blank card, then you can choose one condition for the match.

After the conditions of the match are settled... You guys will fight.

The first one to lose will have to follow one wish of the winner. That wish can be anything unless it's dangerous to the Loser's life.

You can ask anything you want from him, and he can also ask anything from you." Eve explained.

"So, I have some data that I want to share with you. Oxmaul has done over 12 Immortal arena matches in the past year, and he won every single one of them because of his one condition," Deris spoke.

"What is that?" Anon asked.

"Artifacts... He always chooses to use artifacts in the arena. That's the only condition he needs to win the match. His father is crazy rich, he buys expensive artifacts to defeat opponents in the ring, and after winning, he also gives them tasks that are impossible to complete.

Like, killing a 5-year-old slave or asking for the Loser's sister in return." Deris explained.

"Oh my, he is one psycho bastard, huh?" Anon said as he pretended to be surprised.

"He is the real psychopath, Jule. Why don't you just ask a teacher to cancel it? You will be saved," Eve suggested.

"Nope, I am going to fight him. If you admit defeat without even fighting, then that's just foolishness." Anon said as he went back to sleeping again.

"For one moment, I thought he was serious." Eve said as she grabbed her head and looked at Deris.

"You are a noble... Don't you have some artifacts that he can use?" Deris asked Eve.

"No, My house is very far from here. Even if I tried to go and get an artifact for him, it will be too late." Eve said as she looked at Deris.

"Bet, Bet, Bet... Who will win the Immortal Ground? Jule Or Oxmaul. Bet now and get 1.8x of your bet."

"Me... Me."

"Me too."

"Hey, I bet on Oxmaul."

"I will bet on Jule."

"Mine on Oxmaul."

Students started betting on their match.

Principal's room...

"Hmm...? What's all this noise in the classes?" She asked her assistant.

"Ma'am, the Oxmaul kid challenged another kid to duel him in the Immortal grounds." The assistant replied.

"That bastard... If only his father wasn't an upper noble." The principal said as she punched her table.

"Who did he challenge this time?" Principal asked.

"It's someone named Jule. His fees were due for the last three years until 5 days ago. He submitted a platinum coin as his advance fees." The assistant informed.

"Oh, how did a commoner guy like him get his hands on a platinum coin? Search for him deeper and arrange my chair near the arena; I will observe the match personally." The principal replied.

"Yes, ma'am." The assistant answered as she exited the room at once.

"Hmmm... Jule, huh? Let's see what kind of fool you are." The principal said as she also exited the room.

45 minutes later...

"Jule, it's time for the fight. Let's go," Eve woke up Anon.

"Hmmm.....? Yawn I feel refreshed. Let's go and beat the shit out of some dark elves." Anon murmured as he yawned loudly.

All three of them left the classroom and started walking toward the Immortal arena.

The Immortal arena was in the back of the academy.

As soon as they reached behind the academy... They noticed a very big crowd standing all around the ring and appreciating Oxmaul, who was dancing here and there inside the arena.

"Oi, Jule is here."

"Haha... My boy is here."

"Jule! Jule."

All of them started cheering for Anon.

"Calm down, everyone. The principal is coming..." Suddenly a teacher's voice came.

Everyone fell silent immediately as the principal approached the scene and took a seat near the ring.

"Why is the principal here?"

"I don't know. She never came to these things. What is special today?"

Students started chatting among themselves. 

Anon and Oxmaul are standing inside the arena, facing each other... Where Oxmaul looks confident and angry, Anon looks calm and collected.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we have gathered here to witness the great duel between the two young men of our academy.

The rules are simple: Anything goes inside the field, but the one to step out of it first will be declared the loser.

On the right side of the Arena, we have a 12-time winning champion... Who has never faced defeat in this arena: Oxmaul Paradise.

This guy just crushes everything in front of him... He doesn't care if it's a thing or a human.

On the left side of the academy, we have a student known as Jule. This guy has accepted Oxmaul's challenge of a duel. What do you think, can he defeat him in this battlefield? Because I don't think so.

But we never know where lady luck shines. Let's start this competition without any further ado.

The special guest of today's match is the Principal of the Academy itself, and I would like Principal Madam to say the word," the announcer announced loudly.

"May the god of winning bless you. Start," the principal announced.

Oxmaul immediately summoned a claw-type artifact in his hands and started running towards Anon with his full speed.

[Claws Of Phantom Tiger]

[Rank- A+]

[These claws are made from the bones of the phantom tiger. They are very sharp. They can cut through the strongest armors. Once worn, they also boost the host's Agility and Strength by 20%] [Mana: 50/Second]

As soon as he reached near Anon... He swung his hand at his face with full force, but before the claws could've reached his face, Anon disappeared from his position and appeared behind Oxmaul.

Without any wait, Anon summoned his sickles of death and pierced them right through Oxmaul's nape, killing him instantly.

"Oh no, as all of you can see... Anon scored the first point by killing Oxmaul." The announcer announced.

As soon as his body fell down on the floor... The barriers around the arena started shining and Oxmaul's body did too.

He got recovered and stood up again.

"You motherfucker..." Oxmaul spoke as he looked at Anon.

"Na... I didn't fuck your mother yet, or did I?" Anon spoke as he laughed at him.

"Die..." Oxmaul shouted as he ran towards him again, but this time he summoned a sword in his other hand.

"Oh, new weapon, huh...?" Anon spoke as a smile appeared on his face.

'This kid has potential... Why did I not see him until now? Stars like him always outshine the others. Where was he until now?' The principal thought as she observed Anon more closely.

Oxmaul's speed increased as he reached Anon even faster this time.

Anon noticed this but decided to ignore it.

As soon as Oxmaul reached near him, Anon disappeared again and reappeared behind him once more, but this time he didn't kill him with the sickles.

This time Anon grabbed his neck and turned it around 360°.

Crack

At this view, everyone closed their eyes for a second before looking at the arena again.

"Ohhh... That's evil. Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see... Anon has no mercy for his opponents. He just broke Oxmaul's neck without giving him a second to react." The commentator announced.

Thud

Oxmaul's body fell down on the ground and the barriers once again started shining, and so did his body.

He recovered again, but this time... As he was about to stand up.

Anon summoned his sickles and cut his neck down again.

"Huh?"

"Huh...?"

"What?"

"The hell?"

"Did he just?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, Anon didn't even let Oxmaul stand up this time. He just cut his neck down before he could even stand up." The announcer announced.

"Now I understand what that saying means: 'The best defense is the offense.'"

The barriers shined again, and Oxmaul recovered again, but before he could've done anything, Anon cut down his neck this time too.

For the next 30 minutes, the same process repeated over and over again...

Oxmaul tried to stand up, but Anon was waiting for him right there... With his sickles. He would cut off his neck whenever he recovered.

"H-Hey, he is not even giving him the chance to protect himself."

"This guy is a menace."

"What the fuck is wrong with him?"

"H-Hey... That's cheating."

Everyone started talking about this scene where Anon was just being a menace and cutting Oxmaul's neck like a chicken every time it grew back.

"T-This is making me sick bwaaaahhhh" a girl puked as she saw this scene again and again, but there was one guy who was enjoying this, and this guy was none other than Anon himself.

'Hahaha... What a fun game to play. I can do this all day. The more I kill, the more fun it becomes.'

'What a psychopath...?' The principal thought as a smile appeared on her face, and she decided to step in now.

This time when Oxmaul recovered from his injuries... The principal used a spell.

<Hexa Barrier>

Suddenly, a hexagonal barrier covered Oxmaul's body and prevented Anon's sickles from killing him this time.

"Hmm...?" Anon immediately found out who was using this magic and looked at the principal.

'What? How did he find out that it was me?' The principal's eyes widened in surprise, and this time Oxmaul stood up.

But he was not the same Oxmaul as before... There was fear in his eyes.

He had seen death so many times that his soul was now crushed. He had no will to fight now. He had no intention of looking at Anon.

He was so scared that he just threw his artifacts on the ground and rushed towards the closest boundary of the Arena.

"I-I-I can't... He... A monster... Run." Oxmaul said as he ran towards the boundary with a very scared face.

He just wanted to quit and return back to his father and mother, but before he could've exited the boundary, a hand grabbed him from behind.

"Where are you going, princess? The fun is about to begin." Anon asked with a psychopathic smile.

-x-X-x-

"Where are you going, Princess ? The fun is about to begin." Anon asked with a psychopathic smile.

As soon as These words fell into Oxmaul's ears... He felt the real fear.

The true fear. Everyone was around him but no one can save him from Anon.

"J-Jule, i am sorry. I was wrong. Please spare me... Please let me quit. I will give you money or girls or any other thing that you want.

Just let me quit please." Oxmaul spoke.

"Oh, i am not letting you leave me." Anon whispered in his ears.

"Leave me you psychopathic bastard." Oxmaul shouted as he Summoned a sword and stabbed Anon in his intestine but unlike Oxmaul Anon gave no response.

He just stood there like a man and staired at Oxmaul.

Oxmaul looked at this view and started stabbing him again and again but Anon was getting immediately healed by the troll locket.

"Leave me you monster... Leave me." Oxmaul spoke as he continuously stabbed anon and tried to free his left hand from his hand.

After stabbing Anon continuously for ten minutes Oxmaul got tired.

"That's it ?" Anon asked with a menacing smile as he grabbed the sword with two fingers and broke in into three pieces.

"Woah... He broke the sword with just two fingers."

"Is that even possible for a mage ?"

"What the fuck ? He is a mage ?"

"That's what the record says."

'He is too strong, even as a mage. He hasn't used even a single spell in the whole fight. This Oxmaul bastard has choosen the wrong guy this time.' The principal thought as she smiled at the view.

"Please... Let me.... go." Oxmaul spoke his face fully covered in sweat.

"It's my turn." Anon said as he throwed him in the air and used his first spell.

<Thunder Javelin>

Anon throwed the javelin at Oxmaul's body that was still in the air. Oxmaul had no option other than taking it.

*Zzzz*

*Chk*

The thunder javelin pierced through his brain... Resulting in killing him instantly.

"Ooooohhh shit... Anon has gone merciless... He is throwing Oxmaul's body here and there and using him as a dart board.

Why is Anon making him suffer like that ?" The announcer announced.

The barriers shined and Oxmaul recovered again.

Oxmaul stood up as he saw that Anon is far away from him and the boundary is very near.

He started to run for it but as he was about to reach the boundary a sound came from behind.

<Fire Bullet>

Anon used another spell.

Suddenly thousands of bullets engulfed in fire appeared in front of Oxmaul.

"N-No.... Plea-" before he could've completed his sentence... The Bullets pierced through his whole body making him lifeless once again.

"Well, that was good."

<Telekinesis >

Oxmaul's body started floating... Anon brought it back to the middle of the ring and waited in one corner for him to recover.

This was not a duel anymore... This was a game of mouse and cat... The cat would put the mouse in the middle of the house and let it run away but when she saw that the rat is about to escape the house, she would immediately run and catch him.

After catching it she would put it back in the middle of the house.

Oxmaul's body recovered as he stood up and saw that he was in the middle of the arena.

Anon wasn't attacking him anymore. He was just sitting in one corner of the arena.

Oxmaul looked at his right and observed that the boundary to jump outside of the arena was the nearest from there.

Oxmaul immediately ran towards the boundary without looking or thinking anything.

He just wanted to escape this arena at any cost now.

As he was about to escape the arena... Another voice came from his behind.

<Frost Spikes>

Suddenly thousands of frozen crystals tore his body apart and opened millions of holes into it, killing him again.

<Telekinesis >

His body floated again and reached at the same spot that he started running from, Middle of the Arena.

Oxmaul recovered again and started running towards the boundary again.

<Fire ball>

This time a fire ball hitted his body and he died again.

This thing continued for the next 1 hour....

Anon killed Oxmaul everytime he would try to go to any of the boundaries.

Everyone started pitying Oxmaul... The bully of the class was getting pity from those that he used to bully.

Even the teachers started feeling fear at this point... At this point Anon looked like a psychopathic killer to everyone.

At one point... Oxmaul got so scared of moving that he decided to stay at the centre of the Arena and not move from there.

He sat down and covered his face with both of his hands and started murmuring things like a mentally unstable person.

"N-No... Boundary He kills... N-No Running....He Kills." Oxmaul repeated again and again.

The commentator fell silent at this view... Many of the girls started to fall unconscious after watching him die so many times.

The principal stood up from her chair and went to the Announcer... She whispered something in his ears.

"Y-Yes, ma'am."

"Oxmaul... If you can hear me. The rules have been changed a bit... Now if you just say 'I quit.' You can quit the competition." He announced.

"What the hell ? You are ruining all of my fun." Anon spoke.

As soon as these words fell into Oxmaul's ears... He immediately opened his mouth to speak the words that can save his life but before he could've said anything.

Anon appeared behind him and covered his mouth with his hand.

<Body Modification>

As soon as Anon removed his hand from his face... Everyone noticed that Anon has removed Oxmaul's mouth from his face.

At this view, even the boys started fainting.

Oxmaul looked at Anon and tried to shout but he had no mouth. He stood up from the place and started running again but Anon didn't let him escape.

<Thunder Javelin>

*Zzzz*

*Booom*

The spear pierced through Oxmaul's body and killed him again.

When Oxmaul opened his eyes again... He observed that he was in the Middle of the arena once more.

Now his mind was similar to that of a circus lion, he was sitting on the table but if he dared to step down of it... Anon would whip him and he would whip him hard.

He knew that if tried to escape only death awaits him, so he decided to stay there, his mental conditions became unstable and Anon became a demon in his brain.

He only knew one thing, Anon wouldn't do anything to him unless he stays in the middle of the Arena.

As soon as Anon observed that Oxmaul has finally lost it... He stood up and exited the Arena.

"Hah... You are no fun now. You won... I lose." Anon said with a smile.

Blacksmith classes...

Anon is sitting at the back of the class with Eve and Deris, but there is one odd thing: no one is sitting on the next bench or the bench next to it.

The dwarf teacher is teaching the class, but no one is at ease... Everyone looks back at Anon once in a while.

"Hmmm...? Why is everyone looking at me as if I am a psychopathic killer?" Anon asked with a neutral expression.

"What? Are you kidding me? After the things you did to Oxmaul, you think anyone would want to talk to you?"

"Yeah, everyone present in this class thinks you are just a psychopathic killer after what you just did to Oxmaul," Deris spoke.

"Hmmm.... That's odd though. I don't think I did any psychopathic things with him. I barely played with him," Anon spoke with a confused expression.

"You are kidding, right? Because right now you really are talking like a psychopath," Eve asked.

"Yeah, I'm just messing with you, but there is one good thing... No one will disturb me or you two. Isn't that good?" Anon asked with a smile.

"Yeah, because now everyone thinks that we are psychopaths too," Eve spoke.

"Well, for me... It's true. Everyone really stopped making fun of me," Deris spoke as she looked at Eve.

"See... At least someone is happy," Anon spoke as he smiled at Deris.

"No, Jule... That guy is not your everyday normal person... He's the son of an upper noble, and his father is very rich. He will make your and your family's life hell.

If I remember correctly, last time a senior kid punched Oxmaul when he was still a freshman.... That kid is now begging on the streets, and you just turned his mind to shit.

He sat inside that arena for 50 minutes after you left. Do you know why?" Eve asked.

"I don't know... Maybe he was scared that I would come and hit him again if he moved," Anon spoke.

"Yes... That's correct, and you are sitting so calmly even after knowing that. You should be running back to your house... And packing your stuff... Oxmaul's father will not let you live in this kingdom anymore," Eve explained.

"Hmm... You know what? Your talk is interesting, I will get back to you after a short nap," Anon said as he put his head on the table and fell asleep.

"Did he...?" Eve murmured as she pointed at Anon and looked at Deris with a surprised expression.

"Yep... I saw it," Deris spoke.

Knock-knock-knock

Suddenly, a knock was heard on the classroom door.

Everyone immediately looked at the door and noticed that the person who was knocking on the door was none other than the principal herself.

"What is the principal doing here?"

"I guarantee you, it's about that kid Jule."

"Yeah, I think Oxmaul's father is here."

"Jule is done for."

Everyone started talking about the principal's sudden visit.

"Everyone, keep silent," the dwarf teacher spoke as he bowed to the principal.

"I am looking for the kid named Jule. Is he here?" the principal asked with a smile.

The whole class turned their necks towards him.

"Jule, wake up. The principal is here... Jule... JULE," Eve said as she pinched Anon tightly.

"Hmmm...? Who the heck-, Oh Eve... What happened?" Anon asked as he woke up.

"The principal is asking for Jule," Eve spoke.

"Hmm...?" Anon looked at the gate and noticed that the principal is also looking at him and the whole class too.

"Come with me," the principal spoke.

Jule stood up from the bench and walked up to the front of the class.

Both of them left the class together.

"You knew who he was, right?" the principal asked as they walked through the corridor.

"Who?" Anon asked.

"Don't play dumb with me, I am talking about the kid named Oxmaul," the principal spoke.

"Oh yeah... Upper noble kid. His father's big, fat, rich, and he will make my life hell... Yeah, I heard that speech just now from one of my girls," Anon spoke.

The principal stopped and looked at Anon with a smirk.

"How can you be so tension-free after messing with that kid's mind? His father can really make your life a living hell, no doubts about that," the principal spoke.

"You said 'He can,' it means you have a way of protecting me. That's why you came here. If you had no way, you wouldn't have approached me in the first place, and we wouldn't be having this conversation right now," Anon spoke with a smile.

"You are one smart-ass kid, huh....? Well, you are right. I can save you from the Paradise family, but I can't save your family, and I can only save you from his father until you are inside this academy... Outside the academy... You are their prey.

So, I suggest you get your stuff back to the dorms and tell your family to go to the Human kingdom," the principal spoke.

"Yeah, can't do that," Anon declined immediately.

"What? I think you are confused... Let me explain it again. You will get killed immediately after you exit this academy, and your family will face several issues too," the principal spoke.

"Well, you will not help me for free... What is it that you need?" Anon asked the principal.

"Good question... I want you to become a teacher for this same academy after you graduate.

You will only need to work here for 30 years with no salary; your food and room will be arranged by me. 30 years is not that long for an elf, right? And your only job will be to teach the kids as a teacher. It's a very respectful job." The principal spoke as she smiled at Anon.

"No, I am sorry. Was that it, or should I go back?" Anon asked.

"You really have a big attitude, you know, kid. I don't think you have the power to handle that kind of attitude. You can go, but if something happens, don't come running back to me," the principal spoke.

"See you soon, ma'am," Anon spoke as he left after that.

'I will make the whole kingdom mine in 3 months, and you are talking about 30 years. What a foolish girl?' Anon thought as he laughed a bit.

After attending the classes, Anon left the academy. As soon as he exited the academy gates, he sensed many eyes staring at him from a distance.

"Oh... Seems like we have guests, huh?" Anon said as he looked at the distant houses they were using for cover.

Demonic Eyes...

[Name: Jurist]

[Level: 54]

[Name: Van]

[Level: 48]

[Name: Merper]

[Level: 56]

....

Their names and levels appeared in front of Anon.

'12 guys, huh? All below level 60 too. Well, I guess they chose the wrong guys to kill me, huh?'

Anon looked around and started walking exactly in the opposite direction of his house.

He headed towards the forest behind the academy.

This forest is known as Eversong Woods. It used to be the home of elves before they established this kingdom. Now, only dangerous beasts live there.

As Anon walked towards the forest, he sensed each of them constantly following him.

"He is heading towards his own grave."

"Yeah, I can see that."

"Just stay focused. If we get him to enter the main core of the forest, we won't have to soil our hands with his filthy blood."

The assassins following Anon discussed among themselves.

'Good, good. Follow me to your graves, you idiots,' Anon thought as he continued walking inside.

After 10 minutes of walking, Anon finally entered the forest.

"He's inside."

"What should we do?"

"Just wait and see where he's going."

"I already told you the plan. We'll scare him and make him run towards the center of the forest. The beasts there will take care of him after that," their leader spoke.

"Yes, ma'am," they all replied.

As Anon walked further towards the center of the forest, he realized something was amiss.

'Why aren't these guys coming out to attack me? Are they scared? No, this can't be. What are they planning to do?'

Suddenly, Anon started running...

"He's running..."

"He sensed our presence..."

"But why is he running towards the center?"

Anon heard the last guy and only one question arose in his mind...

'They want me to go to the center of the forest, but why? Are there more dangerous beasts there?' Anon thought as he used his skill.

<Illusion >

Suddenly, a black cloud covered Anon's body and he disappeared.

"What the heck?"

"He just disappeared?"

"How did he do that?"

They all got confused as they saw Anon vanish like a ghost while he was running.

"Hold your positions," the leader commanded, and they all stopped on the trees they were perched on.

'I'm getting a sense of déjà vu.' Anon thought as he appeared behind one of the female assassins.

"Hello, love," Anon whispered in her ear.

She immediately withdrew her daggers and moved her hands incredibly fast towards Anon's neck.

But before the dagger could reach Anon's neck, he stopped her hand.

"He-" Before she could shout for help, Anon grabbed her mouth very tightly.

"Search for him, everyone," the leader ordered.

Mnnnhhhh

She tried to shout, but Anon's grip on her mouth was too tight. She even tried to bite his hand, but nothing happened.

"Look into my eyes, love," Anon said as he used his skill.

<Hypnosis >

Suddenly, her eyes glowed purple.

[Hypnosis wear-off time: 10 minutes 59 seconds.]

'Being an elf gives her the benefit of having a shorter Hypnosis wear-off time, huh? I have to hurry up...' Anon thought as he removed his hand from her mouth.

"Start killing your partners for me, love," Anon commanded.

"Yes, master," she replied as she withdrew her other dagger and leapt onto another tree.

'Now, the next one,' Anon thought as he located the next assassin and quietly jumped onto his tree.

"What's up with you, son?" Anon whispered into his ear.

As soon as he turned around, Anon pierced his throat with his sickle.

"I wouldn't waste my mana to hypnotize someone like you," Anon spoke as he pulled his dagger out.

The assassin he had hypnotized was also killing her subordinates.

Eight minutes later.

"Did anyone find him?" the boss asked.

No reply came.

"I asked you guys something. Did you find him or not?" She asked again in a very low voice, but no reply came this time either.

Suddenly, she realized that something was wrong.

"Hello, love." Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

She immediately turned back and summoned her swords.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"Well, who do you think I am?" Anon asked.

"I don't know, but you're not the guy we received the contract for. We were told he was weak and had a very low level. I ask again, who are you?" She asked.

Anon noticed her face was covered by a black mask.

"Before you die, don't you want to show me your face?"

"The only one who's going to die here is you. Everyone, I found him... Come here," she shouted.

"Oh, are you searching for these guys...?" Anon asked as he kicked the tree next to him.

Thud

Thud

Thud

....

Suddenly, the corpses of her subordinates started falling from the tree. The last corpse to fall from the tree belonged to the girl Anon had hypnotized at the start.

"This..." Suddenly, a very grim expression covered her face as she looked at Anon.

"So, what were you saying again, love?" Anon asked as a smile appeared on his face.

"Curse you, you bastard. Just die," she said as she ran towards him at full speed.

<Chain Binding>

Suddenly, hundreds of chains burst from the ground and tightly gripped Anon's body from every side.

The grip of the chains was extremely tight.

"Wow... That's a good trick you used, huh...?" Anon said, smiling at her.

"DIEEEEE, FUCKERRRRR...." She shouted.

"Yeah, no." As soon as she entered Anon's attacking range, he used a little force and immediately broke the chains.

Without any delay, Anon stabbed the girl with the death sickles, killing her instantly.

"Hah... Seems like a good girl but i have to send gifts to their contractor." Anon spoke as he cuts her head From her body.

Paradise Family...

Four family members of the Paradise family are sitting together in the dining hall across the dining table.

They are eating dinner, but one of them is playing with the dinner, and the other three are staring at him in anger.

The one who is playing with his dinner is none other than Oxmaul himself.

Oxmaul looks like a mentally unstable person right now; he is playing with his food like a child would do.

He is dipping the spoon in his soup and throwing the soup here and there on the ground.

"He did this to my son, and you are just staring at him. Don't you have feelings for him?" An elf woman with burgundy hair and an ugly face spoke with an angry expression.

"I have sent my boys to kill him; they must be returning anytime now..." A fat man with orange-colored hair, sitting in front of her, spoke.

This man is Oxmaul's father, Peter Paradise.

This man owns every single food factory and shop in the Kingdom.

He is one of the most powerful nobles in the elf kingdom. His food supply network is very big; some of his shops and factories are in other kingdoms as well, like human and dwarf kingdoms.

This guy can destroy anyone who has a lower status than him. He has an attitude bigger than a mountain, and at this point in his life, he thinks he is a god to everyone lower than him.

"Father, if you had sent me with them, I would've killed him in that goddamn academy. How dare he touch my brother?" A boy with orange hair spoke in an angry tone; he was sitting in front of Oxmaul.

This guy is known as Ares Paradise.

He is a bully, just like his younger brother was. He used to rule the academy when he was studying.

He killed anyone standing in his way. He showed no mercy to anyone, whether it's a kid or an adult.

Those who dared to challenge him either got killed under mysterious circumstances or disappeared with their families from the Kingdom.

He is very hot-blooded and knows no limit when it comes to killing.

"No, if you had been seen by someone, it would've been a big problem. You have already killed many students from the academy. If you were to be suspected of another murder, I would not be able to save you from the Queen's judgment this time," Peter spoke.

Ting

Suddenly the main door's bell rang.

"They are back... Let's go and look at the motherfucker who did this to my son," Peter spoke as he stood up from his chair and started walking towards the front door of the house.

His wife and Ares followed behind.

A butler was already present at the main gate... He was waiting for Peter's orders to open the door.

"Butler, open the door. I can't wait to see the bastard who messed with my son," Peter ordered.

"As you say, sir," the butler said as he bowed and opened the gate slowly.

The gate opened, and the view that greeted Peter was very different from what he had expected.

There were 16 heads in front of him; 12 heads belonged to the guys he had sent to kill Anon, and the other 4 heads belonged to the guards who were protecting the mansion.

"This... What is this, Father?" Ares asked with a surprised expression as he stared at the severed heads in front of him.

"Look at them. If you don't do something about this bastard now, our son's head will be there soon," Peter's wife spoke with an angry expression as she shouted at Peter.

"That bastard is stronger than we think... I have to hire more professional killers to eliminate him," Peter murmured as anger consumed him.

'This bastard thinks he is making fun of me by doing this... But he is just increasing the pain he will feel upon his death. I will not spare the life of someone who messed with my son's mind.

You are dead, Jule,' Peter thought as his eyes turned red with anger.

'Father is useless... I have to finish this job myself. No one lives after messing with my brother. I will show him what Ares Paradise can do.

First, I will kill his mother, then his father, and after that, his sister and brothers... Hahaha... You are going to die a painful death, Jule,' Ares thought as he stood up and started walking toward his room.

"Tell me, are you going to do something about it or not?" Peter's wife shouted in his face.

Slap

"Shut up, bitch. I am thinking right now... He is my son too. I know how to avenge my own son. Don't ask me stupid questions. Go eat and sleep," Peter shouted as he kicked one of the heads.

"Y-Yes..." She said as she went back to Oxmaul.

"Yes... That guy," Peter murmured as his ring shined, and he summoned a crystal ball from his inventory.

"I need you... Where are you?" Peter asked.

"Tell me the task and money. No useless talk." A very heavy and cold voice spoke from the other side of the crystal.

"I want a guy killed; his name is Jule. You will get the information from my assistant. Money won't be a problem; I will give you double the usual rate," Peter spoke with a serious expression on his face.

"Time?" He asked.

"Before tomorrow's sunrise. For every family member you kill, I will double your payment," Peter spoke.

"How many does he have?"

"Three."

"Consider them dead."

"When are you coming to collect the information-"

Ting

Before Peter could say anything else, he heard the doorbell ringing.

Peter looked up and noticed a man wearing fully green clothes standing in front of him.

His body was fully covered in that cloth, his face was also masked; only one of his eyes was visible.

"Where is the information?" He asked.

"Haha... This is what I expect from a professional killer. Here," Peter said as he gave him Jule's file.

In that file, everything related to Jule was written.

"Consider it done; he is just a child."

"That child did this," Peter spoke as he pointed toward the heads on the floor.
