33 Servan (1/2)

When Arnin pointed at the house, the girls couldn't help but get a little shocked. Although they knew Arnin was saying that he would get them a house, they never expected that it would be such a large one.

”Arnin, we won't be able to protect a house like this. Plus, we aren't Moth students, so we can't have one.” Elidia couldn't help but remind Arnin of the circumstances they were in.

”Don't worry about those minor things. This house will be under my jurisdiction, and you guys are just using it as my people. If others want it, they have to duel me, not you.” Arnin spoke nonchalantly, however this caused Elidia to be annoyed.

'Who is your person? I am nobody's person.' She couldn't help but curse in her mind. Just as she was about to continue complaining, she saw Arnin go up the house and knock on the door.

A young man walked out the house. He looked to be a little younger than the girl Arin beat up previously. His realm was also at Orb Birth - Heaven, but it looked as though it was a recent breakthrough.

The young man had a set of snow hair and midnight eyes. His sharp jaw that still had some baby fat outlined what would become a dashing look in the future. His hair was tied in a bun, while his clothes were tight fitting. Although he didn't have muscles like an adult, he was much better than other children his age.

”What do you want?” The boy didn't exude an aura of coldness like the girl and didn't show hostility like Revi, however he was really domineering.

”I want this house. Leave!” Arnin smiled as he looked up at the young man. Arnin didn't care who the other person was, he would get what he wanted, even if he had to cripple the other party.

The boy showed a surprised face before his expression darkened. However, instead of attacking Arnin right away, the boy took a deep breath before showing a very shiny white teeth.

”You want my house? Sure, but as the rules go, beat me a duel.” The boy was somewhat angered but it didn't seem like he was going to lash out.

”Sure.” Arnin agreed readily. It was much simpler to negotiate with people who would go straight to the point. Since the boy understood that he wasn't able to deny the duel, he went ahead and brought it up.

Both parties walked away from the house and stood on opposite ends. They faced each other without any hostility emitting from them. Arnin was still frustrated after his meeting with the senior who threw him out of the higher tier houses, but he had calmed down significantly after beating the girl up.

Arnin looked at the boy as his eyes slightly glimmered with a thought. ”Before we start, why don't we make a bet?” Arnin proposed. He could see that the boy he was facing was talented, he most likely had a higher talent than Revi.

”A bet? Little kid, aren't you worried that this bet would be more beneficial to me?” The boy was shocked at first, but he laughed slightly. Arnin was much smaller than him in height and most likely strength as well. He didn't think that Arnin would be able to win the duel, let alone a bet.

”Don't worry about me, and let me just explain the bet. Just agree or disagree.” Arnin looked at the boy seriously.

”If a little kid like you is so confident, why should I back out? Go ahead, explain your bet.” The white haired boy smiled before signaling Arnin to continue.

”If I win, you have to give me the house and you will become my servant.” Arnins words were extremely arrogant and the boy couldn't help but widen his eyes before his face showed a hint of displeasure.

”What happens if I win?” The boy showed annoyance after learning what would happen if he possibly lost, which he believed was not going to happen.

”If I lose, the house will stay as yours and I will become your servant. Is that a deal?” The boy thought for a moment before he nodded his head. Although he didn't need a servant, it didn't hurt to have one. Plus, Arnin was also a Moth student, which showed that he was talented. If he could have a talented servant, then he would be able to get better resources and more respect in the Moth group.

”Alright, it is a deal. Remember not to go back on your wo-” Suddenly a sheet was thrown towards him. The boy grabbed it and glared at Arnin for his sudden assault., however the latter only pointed towards the sheet. The boy harrumphed before looked at what the paper held.

It was a contract that stated the things they just discussed. The boy was shocked that Arnin was able to create something like a contract without him even realizing it.

”Sign the contract with your blood, I already did. After that, this bet will be final and neither of us will be able to go back on our words.” Arnin smirked as he watched the boy drop his blood onto the contract.

The boy was somewhat hesitant, but he resolved himself and then dropped his blood onto the contract. Suddenly, it vanished into thin air, which made him a little shocked about Arnin's skills.

'This kid was able to make a contract like that so easily, he might be tougher than he looks.' The boy didn't look at Arnin like he did before. Just the contract was a product of high essence control, which only talented or strong people had. If Arnin could do it, that meant that he wasn't weak.

”Let's begin th-” The boy was just about to finish his sentence before he saw that Arnin was gone from his previous location. The boy was surprised in the beginning before he jumped forward and twisted his body around.

Arnin appeared from behind and couldn't help but slightly widen his eyes. The boy had really good reflexes, which showed that his control over his body and his mind were very stable. Arnin couldn't help but smile wickedly. He didn't use his speed to get behind the boy this time, rather he landed, and pushed off the ground towards the boy.

The boy scoffed, before also jumping towards Arnin. Although both of them were different ages, the boy didn't care about that. He felt that Arnin was strong enough to be fought seriously, which even frightened him somewhat.

Both of the boys used their fists to face the other. The fists collided against one another, causing the two to take a couple steps back. Arnin's fist, which at first seemed normal, was anything but. When both of the fists collided, he inserted some threads into the other's body, causing the boy's fist to become numb.

The boy shook his hand in the air, but he felt it losing feeling. There was a small bruise on his fist, but he felt that his loss of feeling was the greatest surprise. He also knew about the numbing effect of the threads, however he wasn't proficient at using the skill. Seeing that Arnin was able to use the numbing effect caused him great surprise. He lifted his head and looked at the approaching Arnin. He felt a dreadful aura being released from Arnin, causing his body to tremble, albeit slightly.

”Since we did a small exchange, let's get on with the real thing.” Arnin spoke quietly as a small tinge of red appeared in his eyes.

'Small exchange? Little kid, that was more than just a small exchange. You basically messed up my hand. How is that a small exchange?' The boy cursed in his head before also releasing his aura. He tried to counter the one Arnin was releasing, however he still couldn't overcome the dread that resulted from the sinister aura. He took another deep breath and his aura began to decrease in size.

Arnin saw the change in the boy's aura. Although it wasn't as large as before, he felt that it was much sharper. 'He condensed it? This boy is much more talented than I thought.' Arnin couldn't help but praise the boy's feat. He condensed his aura into a much stronger form, rather the continuously increasing its pressure. Arnin watch carefully before trying to attempt the same thing. He had past experience with this, but never tried it with the essence aura.

*ROAR*

Suddenly, a beastly howl was released from the aura around Arnin. The sinister feeling from before increased by a significant amount. Not only that, but the aura began to squirm slightly, making beastly noises that induced fear into everyone that was watching.
