Nuances

"It's not like I skipped yesterday's class because I was bored I really was injured"

Eun-woo was back at class after getting suspended while Lee Hyori had wraps on her arms.

"I only broke your arm and Sowon immediately treated you might as well tell me that you died on the spot, anyways since you took the exam then naturally, I'm sorry student Lee Jun-ho your rank now is back at two, unless you want to dispute the result be my guest"

Lee Hyori then instantly looked at the facial cues and body language of Lee Jun-ho as she wanted to incite a fight again between the two of them.

"I don't have any problems with it, to force someone of your caliber to go all out speaks of his strength and I know I can utmost force you to use at least fifty percent of your power"

"What did you say punk?"

Lee Jun-ho instantly flinched as Lee Hyori used her power to pressure him for a second and instantly retracted it.

"Careful what you wish for Student Lee Jun-ho you might get it and end up regretting it, even if broke my arm right now I wouldn't even need to use half of my original power, just because he made it look easy doesn't mean it actually was I hope you remember that"

Eun-woo looked at Lee Jun-ho in pity he knew he was to blame but at the same time he knew he would get strong by next semester and the following years after that.

"I understand professor"

"While it's good to be confident but don't overestimate in yourselves unless you guys have the cards to do so then be my guest."

Ling Shu then raised her arms as she looked innocent in doing so.

"Should a teacher be saying things like that? If so can I fight you!?"

Ling Shu looked excited as she asked Lee Hyori rolled her eyes and nodded at her.

"But not now, wait until the next examinations, actually any of you can apply to fight a professor to skip their classes if you guys are strong enough but I doubt any of you can beat them since they're all either inactive or retired heroes"

Lee Hyori then looked at Eun-woo who looked like he was contemplating something.

"And no you're banned from fighting them Student Eun-woo unless they're battle class teachers then you're permitted, we wouldn't want you to beat up support class professors out of the blue, anymore questions?"

Lee Hyori looked at the class and nodded as no one asked her anymore, she wanted to get out and finish her report regarding her and Eun-woo's battle a few days ago but as she was about to leave she grabbed an arrow from mid air and saw that a paper was attached to it.

"A love letter for you, I'll be leaving now you guys are free to do what you want with your time today as I don't have any energy yet to teach you guys anything"

Lee Hyori gave it to Eun-woo and left as she didn't bother reading it aside from the fact who it was addressed to.

Eun-woo gave it to Sowon who was curious and was getting nearer than usual, Sowon instantly grabbed it and read it as fast as she could, she then gave it to Ling Shu who had read it and then gave it back to Eun-woo.

"Uhm will you?"

"As much as I'd love to it'd be embarrassing for me to stoop down to his level so I'll pass, why don't you or Yu-na do it"

"Then I'll take the chance"

Ling Shu stood up and went to the arena, Eun-woo and Sowon quickly followed after her leaving Ono Hayami on her own, she eventually decided to follow them.

"Are we going to follow them?"

"Naturally since I know this is Zhao Yi's doing might as well support him"

Lee Jun-ho and Eunha followed after, and just like that everyone from the class were now curious and followed after them as they wondered who and what would happen again.

-

As Lee Jun-ho and Eunha arrived they already saw Zhao Yi getting pummeled by Ling Shu on the ground, they didn't know what to say or do as Ling Shu eye's were different and looked like she had no life in her.

As Ling Shu was about to strike Zhao Yi once more in the face, Eun-woo caught her arm.

"I think that's enough Ling Shu, he got the message already"

Ling Shu's body suddenly jerked and looked at Eun-woo then at Zhao Yi's bloodied face.

"Oh did I overdo it this time?"

Eun-woo nodded and released Ling Shu's arm, Ling Shu stood up and wiped Zhao Yi's blood from her face, as Eun-woo was about to turn his back and return to Sowon and Ono Hayami, Ling Shu suddenly kicked Zhao Yi off the ground sending him up to an upward trajectory.

[ Tiger's Edge! ]

Ling Shu's leg's were suddenly engulfed in a white flame as she hit Zhao Yi's body one last time sending him flying onto Lee Jun-ho and Cha Eunha's side of the arena. Ling Shu deadd and dull eyes returned to their regular crimson colored one as she shook her head and yawned.

"Is It finally done?"

As soon as Ling Shu returned to normal she soon felt a slap on the back side of her head.

"Ouch! What did you do that for Eun-woo?"

Ling Shu saw Zhao Yi was getting healed by Cha Eunha as blood kept spewing from his mouth, she then looked at Eun-woo and shrugged her shoulders.

"He's fine, if he wasn't he would have died then and there"

"This Idiot"

"This Idiot here doesn't know the meaning of restraint! Now where's my prize!"

Eun-woo rolled his eyes and left Ling Shu, Ling Shu immediately followed after him and kept pestering, she looked at Zhao Yi one last time before the group left the arena, she had a small smile before completely leaving.

"Wait for me!"

-

"I already you this would happen and you got the worst possible outcome"

Fan Mei was looking at Zhao Yi who was still grunting as he was being surrounded by Eric, Lee Jun-ho and Cha Eunha.

"It's because he's afraid he would get exposed by me"

"We understand Zhao Yi, yes Eun-woo is afraid of you that's why Ling Shu was the one who fought you instead of him"

The group didn't say anything as they went silent for a minute, Zhao Yi wanted to say something but kept his mouth shut, shortly after they heard the door open to their surprise it was a familiar face.

"Dean Cho?"

Lee Jun-ho immediately spoke as soon as he entered the room.

"I heard you guys are in a tight spot now, and looks like you guys need help"

"We're fine the way we are Dean Cho, it's nothing you should concern yourself about."

"I'm just worried about you guys after all your were supposed to be the number one until yesterday anyway, tell me if there things that you need I'm happy to help"

"We understand and we'll surely tell you if we need help as of now like we said we are doing fine Dean Cho"

Dean Cho smiled and nodded at the group as he quietly left them alone.

"Shouldn't we accept his offer?"

The group looked at Lee Jun-ho who shook his head.

"While it's nice to get benefits from Dean Cho, its better if we rely on ourselves for now if we rely too much on external factors its going to bite us back in the future."

"Basically what he means is that you guys train like mad or like our own Lee Jun-ho or group dunce Zhao Yi"

Fan Mei told them as she grabbed her bow from the side and opened the door as she wanted to leave.

"What about You Fan Mei?"

"Me? I didn't lose because there were gaps between me and Ono Hayami's skill, I'm slightly better than her it's just that she brought an actual gun and a bullet is faster than an arrow especially if it was imbued with mana."

Fan Mei looked at her bow and waved the group goodbye before saying.

"That's why I'm buying a gun today and learn it, isn't that why we're here at the academy?"

Fan Mei left them as Eunha nodded, Eric sighed as he looked at Lee Jun-ho who nodded at him.

"Guess I also need to learn some support abilities myself so I won't be too one dimensional"

Eric then left leaving the three alone.

"I'm going now Jun-ho I think I also want to learn more about my class."

"Then that leaves me and you Zhao Yi."

"I'm fine, go and train I'll stay here"

-

As Everyone left a dark shadow was lurking towards the room where Zhao Yi was, as it was about to enter it suddenly stopped as it was being stomped on.

"So they've begun"

Eun-woo took the dark shadow from the ground as it formed into a dark serpent that hissed in his hands.

"How do you know"

"I just know"

Eun-woo then crushed the snake with his divine aura, out of curiosity he was wondering who the demons would try to attract since Ivan was in his control, as soon as he opened the door it was Zhao Yi who threw his spear towards him.

"Get out coward!"

Eun-woo rolled his eyes as he took the spear at the door and threw it back to Zhao Yi, he then locked the door and melted the knob and overloaded the system essentially locking Zhao Yi inside.

"Before I leave"

Eun-woo casted a divine enchantment to cover Zhao Yi's room as he was now a prime target for those dark serpents he had begun cleaning.

"Ah Damn It I hate that I actually have to work until Lee Jun-ho can do things on his own"

Eun-woo stretched his arms as he looked and sensed minute malicious energy all over the academy and went there to cleanse them.
