84 Test End! (1/2)

---

”Poor guy.” Paul whispered, ”Of all the people to provoke, you chose him. Now you're just asking for a beating.”

”Come to think of it, Avi must've pitied the guy, if not then he wouldn't have gotten away with just a single punch.”

”I agree, he would end up with multiple bones broken if that's the case.”

Their discussion was hushed so it wasn't heard by the crowd. If their words were heard by the crowd, then who knows what their reaction would be.

”I-The winner of this match, Vendrick Valorheart!” Carl stammered in his announcement. It was then followed by a massive applause and cheers from the crowd.

”Holy shit! Tell me I wasn't the only one who saw that!”

”You're not! I saw it too! He stopped the blade using his fingertips! How was that possible!”

”Not only that! He also ended the match using a single punch!”

”He said that he named the move 'A Casual Punch'! How domineering was that!?”

”I know right!? He's too badass!”

Raven couldn't be bothered by the cheers of the crowd, he turned around and made his way down to the arena. However, before he could come down from where he was, he heard a malicious roar...

”Damn you!!!”

The masked man roared with indignation, the crowd was dumbstruck and their breaths stagnated. Luis abruptly stood up, but before he could do anything he saw that the masked man was already charging towards his son. He cursed as he was too far away from where he was, he glanced at his son but couldn't see any traces of panic on his face, unknowingly he relaxed.

The masked man picked up his blade and ran towards Raven, he wanted to skin him alive to free him of this humiliation, he no longer cared about his seniority nor his superiors, what's more important for him, is to kill this brat for ruthless stomping on his pride as a man.

”Tch, what a nuisance.” Raven sneered, he abruptly turned around a blurred into motion.

Under dumbstruck gazes of the crowd, he appeared beneath the charging man with elbows sticking out. His attack wedge deep onto the stomach of the masked man causing him to vomit some gastric acids.

Once again, Raven's silhouette disappeared and reappeared behind the masked man. He jumped and kicked the back of his head causing his face to be embedded deeply onto the tiled floor.

The crowd flinched under impact of his attacks. It had to be known that none of the fights earlier managed to crack the floors of the arena, yet just a single kick from him cause the masked man's head to be buried there. Aside from a few fractures on his skull, this man would be lucky if he didn't suffer from hemorrhage.

”I won't be blamed for this right?” Raven faced the speechless Carl and asked.

Carl hurriedly shook his head and said: ”No. Of course not young friend, you merely defended yourself. On behalf of the Institute, I would like to express my sincerest apology for this man's unsightly behavior, please do excuse us.”

Raven smiled and said: ”No worries there, this isn't the first time I've dealt with people like this.” He then bowed towards him and made his way down.

”The matches are over, we await the judges to finish the deliberation and after that, we will announce the results. For now...”

”Capture this fool! Lock him up and make sure he realizes the severity of his actions!” After nodding back to Raven, Carl's face went extremely cold as he gave out the order to imprison this foolish man.

Back to the Headmasters Room.

Ian's face was incredibly ugly, the Crown Prince similarly had an unpleasant expression as well as Leon.

”Pardon us from this Lil' Mu. I didn't know what this idiots are thinking, hiring some random thug for this kind of event.” Ian made the initiative to apologize to Balmung after the unsightly display.

”It's not your fault Headmaster, I'm displeased at the person not the management. I'm sure that they didn't see this coming too.” Balmung smiled and comforted Ian.

Leon didn't say anything, instead he just silently observed the situation below. He was just making sure that the crowd won't fall into too much disorder after what happened.

”Anyway.” Balmung interjected, ”Let's not make the brats wait and finish the deliberation. I'd say they are truly fit to be included in the Genius Class. How about you two?”
