Chapter 84 - Distant Blood (1/2)
”Name?”
”Simonifirac Crypts. I am looking for my brother, Jazukal Crypts.” Simon urgently spoke to the front desk attendant.
”Yes...yes... your brother has reported to a private sparring match with Ornell Valk just a minute ago.” The front desk attendant replied after sifting through a mountain of records in a crystal.
”Where may that duel be taking place?” Simon asked again.
”Duel Hall B.”
”Thank you very much.” Simon smiled as he ran out from the room and headed for the Duelling Hall.
”You are welcome.”
Simon quickly ran through the corridors and made his way to the Hall. Within the span of half a minute, he managed to arrive at Hall B and opened the door quickly. In the hall were a group of roughly 10 students watching two other students duel on the main duelling platform. Without a doubt, one of the duellists was Jazukal.
Casting a flurry of lightly powered fireballs, Jazukal seemed to be in his prime. With the vigour of youth, Jazukal fended off his opponent's blows and struck back with his own fire powers. Just a couple of months ago, Simon had bearded witness to Jazukal's cold corpse, and now Simon is seeing his twin brother alive and well. It seemed surreal.
Jazukal was fighting well against his opponent. But the opponent was none other than a 4th rank devil, which one would consider a genius at this age. Simon did not understand why his brother would be fighting him when he just arrived at the academy.
”Stop.” Simon calmly spoke.
CLANG
”Stop.”
CLANG
SHHHHIII
BANG
Simon got fed up.
”[Crashing Thunder].”
Simon pointes his right index finger at the centre of the stage and summoned forth a huge bolt of lightning that impacted the platform and sent layers of stone flying in all directions, followed by the cracking of thunder. With this, Simon had their attention.
”WHAT THE F**K!!? DON'T YOU SEE WE ARE DUELLING?!! I NEARLY BEAT THIS GUY TO A PULP!!” The other duellist yelled at the top of his lungs.
”Brother?” Jazukal turned and saw his brother looking at him, plain-faced.
”WHO THE F.U.C.K ARE YOU?!! I AM GOING TO BEAT YOU UNTIL YOU WISH YOU'RE DEAD!!”
ZZAAAP
A small bolt of lightning entered the duellist's body and rendered him unconscious as he fell to the ground, twitching violently.
”Distasteful. Having a duel with a student that has not even spent a week here. Your mouth is also appalling.” Simon remarked.
”Hello Jaz. How do you do?” Simon greeted his brother.
”Uh...brother, I was going to find you soon, but Ornell told me to duel Creshnik. I promise that I thought through my options.” Jazukal explained.
”You are dead, no?” Simon questioned.
”No I'm not. I am alive!”
