HIDDEN DRAGONS CRUSHING TIGERS

"..."

The principal and the rest of the tutors were surprised to see Miss April Angela advocating for a student. Miss April Angela Angela's words made the tutors delay intervening in the fight. They wanted to see what the little lad was up to.

"Whatchu just said. I didn't get you. Repeat your sentence," the angry king of bully said.

Fuming seriously and walking slowly, step by step, to where Ariel Sebastian stood. The king of bully heavily demanded that Ariel Sebastian repeat her words.

["Shit! Homegirl, why waste your time on these unnecessary scenes? Advance to the head-bashing phase. Break the hell of this idiot skull."]

Ariel Sebastian pretended not to hear the fuming Arvina while she calculated each step the king of bully took. Keeping her guard up was a lesson hammered into her subconsciousness by her combat tutor.

"Huh! Frog gotcha your mouth!" the king of bully roared, spitting saliva while speaking. Thinking he had successfully caused fear to Ariel Sebastian.

Gaining more confidence. He said, "If ya' not gonna hands off the merchandise, ama take em' from ya."

He hastened his pace, walking faster and faster until he reached Ariel Sebastian. He made a fist to punch Ariel Sebastian's face.

'Fhoosh'

He thought he got the face. Although he was pretty fast for someone without martial training, Ariel Sebastian was faster. Activating her Aikido skill, the whole supernatural cell in her body roared to life. She redirected the punch of the king of bully. Knocking him back. She counterattacked with her LINE combat skill as her opponent was close by.

'Bam'

Ariel Sebastian's strike connected. She felt her punches brutally bashing flesh.

That strike garnered stand-up respect from the audience. The baffled principal asked, "What skill is that? She somehow redirected a punch."

It's a pity no one could answer him.

Ariel Sebastian's human body has been retrofitted with two built-in weapons about halfway down her arms. She bent her arm inwards, elbows become sharp daggers that can easily slice and slash at an opponent.

She launched the most common and also one of the fastest attacks.

On the receiving end was the king of bully who saw hell in those attacks. The King of bully was utterly at Ariel Sebastian's mercy.

A downward elbow follows after the first elbow strike. She swung her elbow up and over to hit her opponent cleanly.

In less than a minute, she had her fill of punches of different styles.

Finally, she accompanied those punches with a swift and devastating karate kick. Sending the so-called king of bully flying to a wall at the end of the cafeteria.

'Boom'

The King of Bully crashed and dented the wall of the cafeteria. He fainted before he hit the wall of the cafeteria.

Absolute silent. A pindrop can be heard in the cafeteria. The principal was the first to recover from his shock.

"What the hell just happened? Are my eyes playing tricks? "What were those skills?" The principal was utterly confused.

"..."

The tutors with him were short on words. Ariel Sebastian didn't care for the crowd reactions. She continued with her auction.

"Okay, since we got the nuisance out of the way. Let's continue with the auction," Ariel Sebastian said to the students in the cafeteria, as if all that happened seconds ago was a dream or an illusion. Anika Abby wasn't enjoying the fact that her best friend was trying to skip a potential college news flash.

"Continue my ass! What were those badass skills? Aha! You have been hiding a lot of stuff from your homegirl. Good, round off your auction. We had a lot of discussions," Anika Abby hands-in-akimbo. She stared at Ariel Sebastian to make sure this mystery did not slip past her.

"You all should have understood the logic. A base price of 12, 000 exotic crystals and a raised bid of 1, 000 exotic crystals," Ariel Sebastian calmly went through her previous explanations.

The bids came flooding in.

"13, 000 exotic crystals," a snobby-looking student opens the bid.

"You want to get a treasure with such a paltry amount... 15, 000 exotic crystals."

"I thought you were loaded... 20, 000 exotic crystals," voiced another student.

"30, 000 exotic crystals. Everyone, give me some face. I am Hector Eugene, an heir to the CEO of Spirita."

"50, 000 exotic crystals," the lovely voice of Jin Dae rang in the cafeteria.

"It's our college belle."

"Oh! She can definitely match Hector's family wealth and background."

"Gossip flying around saying that she is the only daughter among the four children of Jin Chenglei, who is the CEO of Celestial Fluid."

"Are you not planning to give me some face?" Hector Eugene looks sternly at Jin Dae as he speaks.

"Pretty boy, what will your face amount to?" Jin Dae playfully said.

'Angry...'

Hector Eugene turned to Ariel Sebastian with a threatening gaze and asked, "Are you sure you won't sell to me? I can be nasty when I am angry."

"80, 000 exotic crystals. Pipe down, pretty boy. Don't threaten my home girl," Anika Abby angrily declared to Hector Eugene.

"Who might you be? "Have I fallen so low that any knockoff human can speak to me? Hector Eugene angrily said while looking at Anika Abby.

"I am surnamed ABBY. Who the hell do you think you are? To dare call me a knockoff human," she said, walking angrily close to Hector Eugene. Almost—just almost—to beat the hell out of Hector Eugene.

Hector Eugene shrank. Closing up his mouth. Knowing fully well, he risked being beaten up. He also remembered the beatings the king of bully suffered at the hands of the auctioneer. He is baffled by the origin of this beauty. Homework needs to be done.

"ABBY... I remember. Wasn't the crazy general of Devil's Smile unit of the military... surnamed ABBY?" One student voiced out to the ears of all students and tutors' presence.

"General Abby, I heard he has one precious daughter. Is she the one?"

"Holy Moly! I have been attending the same college as the precious daughter of the crazy general."

"I can brag non-stop to my friends."

Hector Eugene was sweating and shaking profusely. He realized there were hidden dragons crushing tigers at Starlight College. He knew full well if he laid a hand on the only daughter of the crazy general. The Spirita would be nuked the next day.

"Who is the auctioneer? For her to have ties with these behemoth kids. She can't be any Tom and Dick," a fatty student mixed in the crowd at the cafeteria voiced the thoughts in everyone's head.

"She is a fifth-grader. She has the surname SEBASTIAN." A secret admirer of Ariel Sebastian called out to the crowd in the cafeteria.

He definitely received a glaring stare from Ariel Sebastian. Instead of hiding in his shell. He yells, "OMG! She noticed me. Hahaha, I can die happily."

He gained sympathies from the crowd, which knew he was a lost cause and couldn't be cured. A complete idiot in love.

"I know... I know, SEBASTIAN... Are they not the first human Ascenders? Breaching the limit of our dimension to another dimension! They are one of the deadliest hidden ancient clans." A student exclaimed.

The cafeteria was plugged into utter silence. Hector Eugene was no longer himself. He wished to be swallowed by the ground.

"Eh! My elder brother disclosed news of her brother being in the Leviticus realm. Her brother was known as Mad Berserker. He successfully led his quad to conquer a flying citadel owned by a terror Elite spirit who just ascended," a student happily said, but she doesn't know she has caused chaos with her words in the cafeteria.

The principal and the tutors were totally silent. This feat... They knew very well that it was hard to accomplish. Even though the Ascender flying citadel master has just ascended. No one can accomplish feats of conquest in higher evolutionary realms. His nickname was thoroughly earned: Mad Berserker. Only a madman will think of such an absurd conquest.

'That is my man', the thoughts of Anika Abby and Lisa Maya were in synchronization. Ariel Sebastian was chewing up her finger, thinking how stingy her brother was when he literally owned a flying citadel.

'That miser. Wait till I get home.'

["Hihihi, my big brother is a fat cow. I need to milk him dry."]

In a few minutes, the price of the exotic baby Yali beast mount has broken every known limit paid for an exotic spirit soul. Reaching a record-breaking price of 167, 000 exotic crystals.

The exotic baby Yali spirit soul was finally purchased by her best friend, Anika Abby.

Anika Abby was happy with her intimidating spirit mount, and Ariel Sebastian was smiling for her record-breaking sale. She thought about where the exotic crystals would be invested. She knew her previous Eden crystals were running low. The over twenty million crystals gained from her emotional compensation and sales of the compensation to Miss April Angela were used up. The elite valour crystals worth millions of Federation currency were invested in the upgrades of V01D. Ariel Sebastian and Arvina used up all of the leftover crystals, which were limited to exotic crystals only. Ariel Sebastian burned up 10, 000 exotic crystals to stabilize her soul, while Arvina used up the rest in her weird research.

Now, she has gained a hundred thousand plus crystals again. This is good!
