7 The Most Powerful Novice! (2/2)
”HUUUUH?! FIRST YEAR?!” Victoria bursts outs. ”No wonder...Do you even know your element?” Victoria asks me. ”Everyone in my class does except me.” I reply. ”Wow, no wonder Guru defeated you. You got guts kid...I must say that but...Unfortunately for you, I and Guru are ex-knight. Not just students but actual knights.” Victoria says to me. ”You were an ex-knight?” I am surprise to hear that for sure. ”We might have been in different squads but we can relate...Relate to people being afraid of us.” Victoria says to me.
Suddenly, Victoria vanishes from front of my eyes and turns up in front of me. ”And again unfortunately for you, you have a lot of potential...And if you were capable of keeping a hold against Guru...You are an even bigger threat for the future...” Victoria holds my neck and begins choking me. ”I must incapacitate you somehow...” Her eyes...They are still like a doll but very cold...Losing...Consciousness....Damn it...If only I had no broken bones. ”Still no fear in your eyes.”
”Leave...HIM ALONE!!!!”
*SWING*
A huge wind blows by and everyone who were fighting their fights top. Victoria leaves me and I begin to cough. Damn, that was close. Victoria begins to sweat along with everyone in the room. What's happening here? I look to my left and look at Ilora arrive from the door. Her eyes glowing blue. Is it some kind of ice magic that she uses? She slowly walks towards me. ”Eye of mana...But how...? Isn't she a Novice knight too?” Victoria looks confused. ”She has arrived huh...? This will soon be over now.” Ashley says with a smile.
Everyone looks to be exhausted...Huh?! Erica has taken down Kite already? When did this happen?! ”This is bad...Her mana is so...Strong...” Victoria who had cold eyes just a moment ago...She is completely bamboozled by Ilora's appearance ”I was hoping we could fight more...But this fight is over.” Jacob says to Guru with a smile. ”You never and I mean it when I say you never piss off Ilora.” Jacob continues. Guru smiles. ”I never intended to fight friends of that Marshal in the first place. You were the one who attacked me....Lion.” Guru says to Jacob and sits on the ground with a smile.
”Are you alright?” What's this? Is Ilora asking me if I am alright? ”Just a few broken bones that's all.” I say. ”I wasn't asking you.” Ilora says to me. ”I was asking Ashley.” Ilora continues. Who is more injured? Me or Ashley? Well, whatever the case...Why has everyone in this room stopped fighting? ”I have come too far to give up against you!” Victoria says and pounces at Ilora.
*Catch*
Ilora catches Victoria's hand which is covered with Smog. Victoria smiles. ”You are an idiot to catch my poisonous hand.” Ilora breathes out small icy smoke from her mouth. ”Ice magic: Freezing point.” Freezing point? What is she planning? ”This is the point where everything in my body freezes. That means even your poison will freeze within my body itself.” Ilora says. ”Your nuts...You will die if you continue doing this.” Victoria says. ”Well...You are also freezing with me. So, let's see, who dies first.” Ilora says giving Victoria her cold eyes. Her cold eyes are still glowing. Victoria pulls her hand back and falls onto the ground. ”WHAT ARE YOU?! YOU ARE NO HUMAN! YOU ARE A MONSTER!” Victoria looks scared as she speaks. ”That's what you get when you go up against someone who can use the eye of mana.” Erica sighs.
After Ilora had defeated Victoria with no efforts whatsoever, Erica defeated Kite and Guru didn't feel like fighting our fight was pretty much over. The knights arrived on our contact. As Janis was scared of me for some weird reason. She kept calling me monster as the knights took her into their vehicle. She couldn't do anything in this fight and the other criminal Travis was found frozen inside the factory. I think so I already know what happened to that guy.
Guru was going along with the knights too. I walk towards him. ”Hey, once your free, let's fight again. Our match is still not over remember that.” I say to him. ”Of course. Anytime, Marshal.” Guru smiles. ”Next time...I will defeat you with my own power.” I say. ”I will remember your words.” Guru says to me.
”Another thing, I wanted to ask you something...If you don't mind that is...?” I ask Guru. ”What is it?” Guru asks me. ”Back then, that doll girl said something that caught my attention. If you were knights...Why would you give up such an honourable position?” I ask Guru. Guru smiles. ”Your still young, Marshal. You haven't seen enough world yet. The world hates people like me and Victoria...It's just people hated us for who we were. I mean...Who would look at me and not fear me? People were afraid of me, hated me and sometimes they even said bad things about me. I ignored them as much as possible but...Everything has a limit boy...Nothing can be contained...Remember that. Same goes for Victoria. The face she has now is because of a surgery before this...She had a burnt face...People called her 'The Wicked Witch' because of the way she looked. It wasn't her mistake that she was caught in a fire accident when she was a kid...People like us...We can't be knights...We are fit to be just criminals.” That's what Guru said. He left with a smile. I felt sad for him...But as always...I can't express my feelings.
This makes me question...Do knights really protect people? I mean if the knights themselves turn into criminals, then isn't that like...Turning against your own people in a world where there are species other then us...Whatever the case be. Our mission as the sub squad of Rizing, ended.
