Rhur’s delight greith each passing second “Tsk, tsk Don’t faint yet We are just getting started”

He proceeded to kick hi the ground again, knocking the air out of his lungs

Then his body proceeded to roll, and then suddenly, his back hit so soft

The sensation startled Kiel into opening his eyes

He looked through the hair falling over his face only to see that he had hit Deora’s lying form

He had been pushed back so ht!

Before he could think of it any further, another lightning bolt fell on his body, zapping both hiht Kiel considerable surprise, for just as it started, he had heard a peculiar noise His eyes widened, and he stared at Deora du off?

Apparently, there was nothing like a good electrocution to pull back someone from the death’s door, for the previously unresponsive Deora, let out a groan His dark red eyelashes started fluttering, and his face scrunched up like a squeezed sponge

Clearly, he wasn’t a ently” he had been woken up, Kiel would be surprised if he was in a goodout of Deora’s body, a seely insane idea materialized inside his head

He atteht, but only when Rhur slightly paused with the lightning did he finally e mouthful of blood

Before he could close his ain

When the next zap paused, Kiel htning hit again

And then it paused

“…you…”

Zap

Pause

“…darn…”

Zap

Pause

“…firecracker…!”

If so his last hopes into so so ridiculous, Kiel would think the person to be ic word, Deora’s eyelids snapped open revealing his bloodshot gaze

His eyes were a bit glazed, there was a brief flash of remembrance inside of them, before it was replaced with fury

At that ht he could alive you a frigging firecracker…!”

A lightning zapped Kiel once again, followed by a kick from Rhur who had just reached the away from Deora by his kick, did Rhur have a clear view of Deora However, by that tiaze locked on Kiel’s miserable form, so he didn’t notice that his eyes were open

Rhur was just about to zap Kiel again when, abruptly, Deora’s aura flared up, surprising Rhur into ju back in shock

The surprise made Rhur break out of his zap and pause routine, involuntarily er pause between zaps

Kiel seized that shortof opportunity to stuff a hand inside his pocket, grabbing Elaru’s

No sooner had he heard the click of the , than the whole world turned white

Kiel was sure that what folloould have been the loudest booed to block the sound, or he had gone deaf before his ister the sound

Either way, the world went silent for the longest 20 seconds of Kiel’s life The only sound he could hear was the buzzing inside his head that alround beneath his feet

Kiel closed his eyes, trying to sn his nausea and return his labored breathing to normal His stiffdown

It took Kiel the longest time to finally recover froh to process as going on

“Will explode if called ‘firecracker’”

Kiel couldn’t help but recall the tip on dealing with Deora Wait… that tip was actually not a figure of speech? He will literally explode?! He didn’t knohat he was expecting when he chose to call Deora a firecracker, but surely it wasn’t this

How short tempered would someone need to be to choose to self-destruct and obliterate the entire stadiuht it to be a failed attes he had read, it turned to be the most useful tip of them all

It was ironic, really, yet not as ironic as Rhur’s fate

Kiel opened his eyes, only to bethe entire arena The circular stadiu only a s that was the furthest from the center of the explosion

Besides the two small islands that had been protected by Kiel’s and Zor’s barriers, nothing else ren of Rhur, Deora or any other participant Not even blood stains remained

Who could have predicted that Rhur’s hate for Kiel coupled with his sadistic nature would, in the end, cause hi, but his storetted not being able to see Rhur’s facial expression as he was blown up to sht

Kiel’s mouth twitched into an involuntary sriround next to hilass which coincidentally happened to be in the part of the wall that avoided the catastrophe There were still several lass, the VIP lodge, where the exa, was blasted off the map However, it seemed like the examiners had escaped with their lives, for when Kiel concentrated on his hearing he could hear the in the distance
