Chapter 49 - A Bet (1/2)

I started to roam the halls of the dormitory asking the other students where Sebastion was staying at. Thankfully Sebastion was quite the unpopular person around here, similar to me, so it wasn't long until someone gave me directions.

While walking towards Sebastian's room I had to think about how I would get him to agree to the rank match. People didn't know my current rank that I had obtained, so I was unknown to them for my fighting skills. There was no gain for Sebastion to fight a low rank like me.

At the same time, I didn't want to tell him that I was the one who had obtained the 9th rank in fear that it would scare him off. I thought hard for a while and came up with something that would be hard for him to reject.

I was told that Sebastion had come from Silvertown, meaning he would be in that section of the building. When I had just approached the outside of the building I was surprised to see a group of five people waiting.

A tall good looking man with silver hair came forward from the group.

”I heard that someone was looking for me, I assume it's you?”

Sebastian was a tall person for his age. As he was stood in front of me he was at least two heads taller than me. but I wasn't afraid, I had faced beast that were bigger and more intimidating than him right now.

”How did you know?” I asked.

”Information travels fast, I heard someone was looking for me, as soon as I saw that black sash on you I could guess straight away why you came here. You want to get a little revenge for your friend, don't you?”

It took all my strength to hold back the anger inside me, If I could, I would slice off his head right here and now, but with the power I had it would be impossible to escape from Avrion Academy.”

”Let's have a ranked match, me and you.”

Sebastion started to laugh.

”And what would I have to gain from doing that, I already beat the best of you black sashes had to offer, and Gary, let's just say he's special, but you? you're nothing but a curse who ruins everything they touch, even your so-called friends.”

”If you win, you can have these.”

I opened my hand to reveal two intermediate beast Crystals.

”How did someone like you get that?”

Intermediate crystals had high value for new students at avrion academy. Students weren't allowed to use their gear in training but once basic training was complete, we would be able to hunt outside.

Having a couple of intermediate crystals instead of the basic tier crystals would allow you to make higher class equipment, giving you a big head start.

”My father was an adventure, he gifted them to me before leaving but I haven't had the money to find a smithy to turn these into anything yet. If you beat me you can have both of them.”

I had thought about how to intice him and came up with this. My only hope was that Sebastion would be arrogant enough to think there was no possible way he could lose.

”Deal, but I want the match to be in front of everyone at the training grounds. After all, I don't want anyone thinking I forced myself to take these from you.”

”Fine by me.”

We walked our separate ways and I started to head back towards my room for tomorrow. On the way back to my dorm I ran into Kyle.

”Ray, I just heard you're going to fight with Sebastion are you Crazy! He'll kill you, you didn't see what he did to Monk.”
