Chapter 338: Chapter 338 Declaration.
"Viana?".
"Right, you go ahead. I will do the rest myself".
"Thank you".
Without any hesitation, Roland opened the office window and jumped off the third-floor building, creating a web crack upon landing.
Roland swiftly moved his feet, and in a matter of seconds, he arrived at the stadium and bounced upward, using his strong legs because, for some reason, he felt eerie from the quiet venue.
Upon landing on the roof, Roland\'s face stiffened as he found Lars one-sidedly destroyed by Soma.
The elite student who just came back from the expedition and is known to be one of the strongest in the Academy is being thrashed by a first-year student.
"What is happening?".
He still had something he wanted to ask, but this was not the time, looking at the situation where Lars was on the brink of death.
However, faster than his feet could bring him to the Arena. A figure of a beautiful woman in a cheongsam outfit rushed to the Arena and shouted.
"Xiao Ma".
Many ears could clearly hear the desperation and worry that came from her mouth, which made the entire venue move to her voice, including Soma, who intended to deliver his finishing blow with his fist raised upward while mounting Lars, whose figure was wrecked.
Using this as a chance, Roland jumped off into the Arena, stood a distance from Soma, and tensed all the muscles around his body.
"Soma?".
For the first time, light began to return to his eyes, and Soma began to see his surroundings better. He glanced at the figure below him and then clicked his tongue, regretting that he hadn\'t finished him earlier.
"You lucky bastard!".
With a rough attitude, even knowing his opponent had devastated wounds all over his body. Soma threw his opponent\'s body and stood up, distancing himself away.
Lars\'s front teeth were gone, his face covered by blood and bloated in blue. The bones all over his body were broken, especially his feet completely shattered. His guts were an utter mess, and he couldn\'t even notice what was actually happening to him.
However, after the violence was over, Lars was hit by a blackened out, and he lost consciousness, not knowing if he could awaken again or not.
Looking at Soma, who didn\'t utter a single glance at his opponent, whose body was half-dead. Roland needed to assess his assumption regarding the boy who slowly walked away from the Arena, approaching the woman who awaited him.
"...Soma".
"What?".
Even his tone alone made Roland, an active S-Rank awakener, falter even for a moment. The look from Soma\'s eyes still radiates a dangerous glint that makes him gulp.
"What actually happened?".
"Xiao Ma!".
Xiao Rui, who couldn\'t bear it anymore, ran past both males and hugged Soma in her tender embrace, soothing the tension that had built up around him.
"Xiao Ma, are you alright?".
A gentle voice resonated in his ear, and the soft caressing in his back calmed his nerves, allowing Soma to regain his usual state.
[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]
Soma separated from his Aunt for a moment and parted his lips, telling her he was okay.
"Aunt, I am okay. Can you please?".
"Yes, of course".
Thinking it must be embarrassing to be hugged by his elder, Xiao Rui was willing to separate from SomaSoma despite that, but that is not the reason he did that.
Roland, who watched their interaction, had a baffled expression, curious, but the case was first.
He took a glanced at Lars body who lay motionless like a corpse whose soul was lost. But, if he takes a close look, he is still breathing, albeit faint.
Soma observed his talking opponent, Roland, as the academy headmaster. Sure, it would be a pain if he decided to antagonize him.
However, the boy that he beat up earlier had insulted his parents. The parents he loved most and missed most in this world, and the boy dared to bring their names so casually.
For the first time in his life, Soma had lost his reason, himself. This was quite different from the past when it was his devil side who suddenly did that, but today, it was genuinely his own emotion that affected him, changing him into a Demon without reason.
He glanced at his surroundings, and sure enough, everyone in the venue stilled; no one dared open their mouth. Slowly, as Soma walked toward the middle of the Arena, he looked at Roland and took a deep breath before a roar escaped his lips.
"Listen All of you!".
His loud rage that accumulated in his heart echoed. It petrified the spectators who heard it.
"That is what will happen when you dare to insult my parents. Look closely at that, and make sure that none of you ever did the same thing as him because if you do I would not hesitate to kill you!".
The stadium gulped to moisten its parched throat and didn\'t dare to look at the miserable fate of the boy who touched the dragon\'s reverse scale.
All eyes were focused on a single boy who stood imposingly, and with his oppressive aura, he got a sentence for the last time.
"I don\'t care what you will do to me, spit me, bury me, mock me, curse me! You can do whatever you want to me, but don\'t you dare touch my family!...". Soma took some breath before he continued with a terrifying murderous intent he leaked out to scare everyone in the venue. "... I don\'t care what kind of person you are.
I will not mercilessly pay you a fate worse than death, even if that person claimed himself as a God".
"Is this enough?" Soma muttered in his heart as he scanned his surroundings and watched the stiffened people. He turned to Roland, who seemed to understand the meaning behind the word he said and then approached his Aunt.
"Aunt, let\'s go?".
"Yeah, are you alright?".
"I am fine".
Looking at the retreating figure of Soma and the woman he called Aunt, Roland stood still in the Arena before his senses informed him about the alert.
"What the hell are you doing, officials!? hurry up and come we have someone critically injured!".
Several teachers began to climb the Arena and frowned when they saw Lars\' condition. One by one, they cast a minor healing magic, and one of them began to sprint for the place and try to ask someone who had more skill in the field.
Unaware of the officials\' chaotic minds, Soma and his Aunt entered the tunnel when Lin Fan stood with a grim expression on his face, looking at Soma.
"Um, you are?".
Xiao Rui, who felt some familiarity with the boy, racked her brain, searching her memory.
"Greetings, people from the Xiao family. I am the current head of the Lin family; my name is Lin Fan."
As someone who stood on top, Lin Fan, knew when to show his appearance, and now was the time when he realized that the woman Soma called his Aunt was from the Xiao family. Stay tuned to mvl
"Oh, Head family Lin. I am sorry for the late introduction. My name is Xiao Rui, It is such a great pleasure to see you".
"No, no, the pleasure is mine, I don\'t think that my next opponent in the final is someone from Xiao family".
"For the record, Lin Fan. I just found out that my only remaining relative is alive and she was under the care of the Xiao family".
Soma, who didn\'t want any misunderstanding between them, stepped up, which made Xiao Rui\'s face pale.
However, contrary to her expectations, Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders and looked at him in a mysterious manner.
Earlier in the match, Lin Fan, whose sense of hearing is above others, catches the warfare between Soma and that white-haired guy. He heard everything they said and the reason Soma snapped and turned into a raging demon.
Lin Fan never thought that the person he assumed was annoying for attempting to approach him when school started. It turns out his passion for the family is beyond what he predicted. But because of that, Lin Fan can sympathize a bit with him, who also held his family above everything.
Also, sometimes, when the two of them talked, Lin Fan felt some kind of attraction. Something inside him is telling Lin Fan to create a good bond with Soma.
Initially, it was faint, but after talking with Soma, the feeling kept getting stronger, and he thus began to enjoy talking with him. "Humph, what the hell am I thinking?". Lin Fan muttered as he cupped his fist, giving the other parties his respect. He then turned around and wanted to enter the waiting room to train when there was still time.
After the fight earlier, Lin Fan realized that he had no chance of winning against Soma. However, despite that, he didn\'t want to give up just because of that. Lin Fan also still had something up his sleeves.
"Lin Fan?".
Soma\'s sudden voice halted Lin Fan\'s step as he glanced back and saw the fiery glint in his eyes.
"See you in a moment, Lin Fan!".
"Yeah, same to you, Soma!".
