Vie for Dignity

"What are you doing unto my friend huh? Kaz Retro."

Rein said while blocking Kaz Retro lightning sword. He gazed at Retro's eyes fearlessly—like a beast looking down unto its prey. Kaz Retro replied nonchalantly,

"Oh, So it's your friend?, 'that's how he's too weak like you."

Kaz Retro pushed rein away by applying some shocked force unto his sword.

Rein then carries out a step-back to avoid his shockwave.

As rein gazed at his surroundings, all the people around were all looking at him.

He gazed at his friend vishan who was at his back, but stopped in a few seconds because of Kaz Retro sudden interference.

Kaz Retro then did a stance. He's muttering something on his mouth with his two eyes closed.

In a few moments.

"Electro Boost."

Kaz Retro two silvered-armored boots were curling around with electricity, and as he opened his two eyes—its color changed. Instead of Rose-like red it changes into a blueish sky.

Rein then stared at the Kaz Retro rare figure instantly.

He grasped his sword much tighter than before. Much tighter when he had fought the Demon Boar.

Rein knew that this is no game to play. Kaz Retro powers were really strong, probably much stronger than the three Demon boars combined.

As he gazed at Kaz Retro evolved figure….

"He disappeared?"

Kaz Retro instantly disappeared and reappeared at Rein's line of sight. He was now at his front just a few five meters at him.

Bluffing about his strength Kaz then spoke, "You aren't just the one who knew how to disappear. I too."

After a round of bluffing. Kaz Retro then swung his lighting sword towards rein. It was fast, but not as fast that rein couldn't avoid.

Rein then started to counter-attack by using his augmarium sword.

—The colliding of their two swords keep spewing a clunking sound of iron, along with a few sparkles of fire which disappear in a few split of seconds….

Rein black shirt started to get scratched by the lighting sword that Kaz Retro used. He knew that he was losing in terms of speed, yet he is still not trying to stop the fight. Instead he was fighting back.

"Hahaha! You are dying bitch! Say bye bye to the world!!"

Kaz Retro widened smile could all be seen on his face. He was not really holding back.

He was really trying to kill rein; and in just a few moments, rein will really die if he won't do something about his intense situation.

Rein can't stand to hold back anymore. He then inhaled and breathe deeply.

The air started to get heavier when rein closed his two eyes while blocking Kaz Retro's rapid attacks.

"How are you not dying! You are just a lowly pest!!"

Kaz Retro started to get annoyed when rein blocked his attacks just by closing his eyes.

As Kaz Retro didn't imagine it. He was dripping on sweat. The air started to get heavier, along when he attacked.

Kaz increased his speed unto his further limits that his body could give, but it was useless.

Rein counter-attacks started to go galloping in speed. His silver armor were all pierced and broken into pieces, as he could not block any of it….

"Damn you!! I am much more gifted than you! You are just an failure—nothing more like a lowly pest!!"

"...."

"Grahhh!!!"

Kaz tried to fight back with his silver armor broken in halves. He swung his lighting sword towards rein.

As a counter to Kaz attack. Rein then also swung his augmarium sword.

The two swords collide and prove to themselves who is stronger upon them.

It was then when Kaz was exhausted. He dropped his broken lighting sword unto the ground.

And as he stared at rein. He's eyes were now widely open.

"....!!"

An eye without emotion or fear to kill a human—That's what Kaz Retro saw upon rein two dull-dark eyes.

"ahhh!!… ahh!! monster!!! Bring— bring it away!!"

Kaz Retro were crying in fear as he stared at rein two dark eyes. It wasn't rein, but more like a horrendous being.

Retro's large self-esteem could no longer be seen upon his handsome velvet complexion, it was now replaced by nervousness and fear to be killed.

He pissed unto his pants not knowing that he did.

But Rein didn't stop gazing at him, his face was really dark with rage. He then grasped his sword tight and did a stance.

A stance that could execute a swift-step.

Troubled, the crowd was brought in uneasiness and disbelief, even General Cecil was just grabbing kim arms and gazing at the situation where his proud student will get killed.

She didn't try to stop rein, she was really trying to pluck out any information about him, by using her appraisal skill that she got from her father.

In a few further moments, rein dashed, not giving Kaz Retro a chance to regain his composure—he tried to cut his neck.

"Wait rein! Stop!!"

"OH my God!!"

"No, rein!!"

"Rein!!!"

Sudden loud words coming from Kim and Rein friends started echoing around the room, but rein could not hear any of it. He was really on fire.

He was really desperate to kill a useless being, Which is not needed by the world.

Kaz bawled his eyes in fear when he saw rein approaching him wildly like a bullet on fire.

He could only muttered an "stop!" word when rein dashed in front of him while pointing his sword.

It was then when rein blinked his dark eyes. He was shocked when his sword stopped. It was nearly hitting Kaz Retro's neck, but it was stopped by two fingers.

He gazed at the one who stopped his attack and woke up from his dark ferocious state,

"Gen—General Gavin?"

General Gavin then grinned and replied, "What a nice fight you had there brat! But let's end it on the critical part before someone gets killed, are you okay with that?"

Rein then nodded his head calmly. He put down his augmarium sword away from Kaz neck, and immediately returned it unto his back sheathed.

"Good!"

An expression where rein didn't imagine that General Gavin would give— rein then asked for forgiveness for what he did.

"You didn't do wrong kid. So don't ask for forgiveness."

Rein then lowered his head. He doesn't know what to answer about general Gavin replies. He just stood their silently without doing anything.

In a few seconds General Gavin then averted his gaze from rein. He fixed his blue mask before talking to the frightened Kaz,

"You lost miserably."

General Gavin said monotonously, like a dragon speaking unto a cat.

"It was an underhanded tricks!! That—that black haired guy is cheating! He was cheating!! There's no way he could have won, I'm a fencing champion in our country! I'm a fencing champion in our country!!! " Kaz was roaring in the room blabbering about how Rein faked his win.

But General Gavin didn't give much attention to it. He instantly poked Kaz neck which made him fall asleep.

"What—what are you doing unto my student Gavin!!?" General Cecil roared to the room.

"Your student?" General Gavin replied, "Oh, So that's how he's a vicious being like you."

General Gavin replies made General Cecil face pale-darkened. As she tried to pull-out her two large swords at her back. General Gavin spoke,

"Oh, you wanted to fight me? Sure, sure you can fight me. But I suggest you postpone it until the party's over."

General Gavin then walked away from the room with Rein and Vishan on his side.

Rein gazed at his surroundings while leaving the room. He gazed at Kim and she was emitting a dark expression that he couldn't tell. He then averted his gaze and looked at his friends, but they were all shocked and their mouths were all agape.

"...."

—General Cecil was full of rage and anger, but she just tried to hold it back because in just a few minutes the king and General Vrekerd will be arrive for the party to get started.

Like nothing had happened, General Gavin headed off to the room with the two students on his side.

After he reached the large red door—heading outside. General Cecil shouted,

"Gavin!! You don't know who you are accompanying with!! Even I don't have any vague idea of what he is!! I can't appraise him like a normal person that I could. He's an existence where I don't know and you don't know of. He's a mysterious and dangerous being!!!"

General Gavin then stopped after hearing General Cecil warning words. He stopped, fixed his mask— then he replied tersely,

"I know."

"What!! You are endangering the lives of the thousands of people here!!"

"I told ya I know, for those are my instincts been always telling me. So shut up, you're annoying. I am leaving now. See ya sister Cecil."
