Chapter 38: A day out (2)

-I'll handle the 2 with light blue cores, you guys should be able to handle the rest, I'll help when I finish with them- Damon said before charging in

-Diana, take my amulet and record it from the sky while providing us support- I gave my amulet to her, she took it with her beak and flew up

I got out a bow and nocked a light arrow and shot one right in the head before charging in with Dream Eater. Ace was shooting out wind blades and fireballs as he was charging in, he is coated in wind and lightning magic, he used his claws to clawed the thugs.

Siege was biting people's throat out while supporting Ace with water magic to help the lightning of Ace.

I slashed my way to the noble. Despite being a purple core, he trying to run away. I stopped his movements with spiked vines around his legs.

"Don't run away, we are not done yet"

He cursed and tried to fire his magic at me point blank. But I used my sword to cut of his arm. He was screaming in pain, then I kicked him in his crown jewels too hurt him even more, since I don't have a core, and magic flowed throughout my body, each of my physical hits would be as if they were backed with magic and mix in with my enhance strength I got after the bond with Damon, I can tell that the pain he's feeling right now is unimaginable.

He was whimpering on the ground and using his remaining arm to cover his groin. The others were finished with the thugs and came towards me, Diana stopped recording and handed me my amulet, which I put back in my spatial storage

"If this isn't the consequences of one's own action" I sneered

-Are we going to kill him or leave him be?- Siege asked

-Kill him of course, if we let him be, he'll come for us with even more danger the next time we see him-

I was about to cut his head off before a voice shouted

"STOP! STAY YOUR HAND"

It was Professor Craig Steel, he was accompanied by his sister, Eleanor and Balor. Professor Emma Steel rushed to the bastard's side and checked his conditions. I put my sword away as it disappeared into its own spatial pocket.

"He tried to kill me, please expel him" The bastard begged

I wanted to really finish him off but then Professor Craig Steel stopped me from approaching further.

"Sis, take him to our nurse, as for you 2" He pointed at me and Eleanor "You're coming with me"

*****

We got to school and walked past the disciplinary office

"Usually I would handle things there, but this time that organization is involved so, we'll head to the headmaster's office"

We then head to the headmaster's office

"Well, is there something you need professor Steel?" he asked

He then explained that he was on a stroll with his sister, before he saw a tensed Eleanor rushing to him saying that I needed help, he then rushed back to the academy assuming that's where I was headed, he then sensed a high amount mana being used somewhere.

He followed it and saw me surrounded by members of the red sword and me almost killing the noble. As he finished, professor Emma Steel, the bastard with an old man who probably his father, an fat dude with the same dark green hair and a monocle walked in.

"That's the bastard that almost killed my son, ARREST HIM" the guy shouted

"Wait, sir Noblesse, we have to listen to his side of the story first" the headmaster then turned to me "Say your piece"

I told my side of the story and took out the poison knife I got earlier, with my recording. The 2 professors and the headmaster, clearly knows what's going on.

"You worked with such a despicable organization so that you can kill a fellow student! This is treason!" The headmaster scolded "You did that all for what?! Jealousy! Envy!"

"There's no way a commoner, 12 years old at that would beat a chosen being like me" the bastard argued and his dad helped

"Yes, clearly he is right, that young boy can't beat my son who is a purple core, my son even demanded a rematch which he refused, clearly he doesn't want to expose his vile tricks" he pointed at me

-Man what a narcissistic view- I facepalmed

Eleanor and Balor, who also doesn't really like me, also seem to think the same as me, there were both cringing and shaking their heads in disbelief.

-Makes me want to kill them- Ace replied

-Not just you but all of us- Siege agreed

-He might just have some bad upbringing- Diana said -But they are infuriating-

"It seems like you know about your son's involvement with the red swords, I should get my private investigation team to investigate you" Professor Steel said

"You have no authority to be able to do that" the marquis mocked

"I do, I'm a royal" the headmaster smiled "I'll be in charge of the investigation, as for your son, since you are so adamant on young Perseus' talent, in the fighting tournament, we'll let you 2 have a rematch, if you win, you'll be removed of all your charges, is that fine with you, Perseus?"

"What about equipments and the rules?" I asked

"The only rules is no killing, as for the equipments, since your reputation is the one being challenged, you get to make it"

"Then, anything goes, I want to fight with my full strength"

<Hmm, we all want to see that, if he does a really great job, it can help push him towards the captain position> the headmaster thought <Since he isn't really a citizen of Artia, it would be great to tie him down as one of our own>

"Well young Reynolds, do you accept the challenge?"

"I accept" he then glared at me before leaving with his father

-I'll make him wish for death-

I was about to leave but then the headmaster stopped me

"Wait a second young man, I still have more I have to say to you"
