Chapter 75 - Challenge part 2

Nozick eil Nouvieur Teractemir, the fourth prince of the great Tera kingdom, having three elder brothers, to compete with for the throne, Nozick was competition-oriented. His father believed in the right to the throne obtained through power, only that way will people be able to truly succumb to authority.

He was the least with a chance of becoming the crown prince but he was favoured, his pure white hair was a treasure among the royal family. He was called God-sent, the people loved him, he was a symbol that their gods had not left them. But the King was persistent in his beliefs, though he gave Nozick ample opportunities, he never made him cheat his way. One of the ample opportunities he was giving was coming to the academy. It was the last favour his father was going to do him. Nozick had learnt something important from his father and that was the use of human resource management. The reason why the prestigious Tera kingdom stood as the greatest pillar of the north was not that his father was overwhelmingly strong, it was because of those strong men that stood by his side as so-called the King's guard. He had been opportune to see one of them in action. By the sword of one man, a tribe of over 300 warriors was left to nothing. Since that time Nozick was concerned about his growth of course, but he was obsessed with gaining loyal men that are willing to serve him as their supreme king.

But even the strong Nozick had a flaw; which was to think that every man would crawl at his feet so far he showed them how strong he is, he was strong no doubt but that's the only thing he could boast about. Nozick wasn't the type to think before acting, he acted on pure instincts which made his character that of a wild animal.

"Eh... who are you?"

"Wait. . . don't tell me, you don't know me?"

'what's it with this one. . .'

Rein stared at him dumbfounded

'it looks like he doesn't know me, for real.'

Nozick could not believe it, he had his heart shattered for the first time, he bested in everything the Academy did yet there exist a soul in this school that does not know him. He was surprised and much more intrigued.

'this one is interesting'

He stretched forth his bare hands.

"Come, I'll take on you with one hand"

'What the hell is this. . .?'

Rein walked past him like he was not even there. Nozick's heart shattered a second time.

'I don't understand. . . what's going on?... I asked him to fight me didn't I, or perhaps he did not understand me. Shall I say it to him again'

Nozick propelled to his front.

Rein halted, even though he was surprised at the speed he didn't show it, he had seen someone faster. But he just kept realising that there were many strong people around him.

Nozick let out his silver aura, Rein expression changed for the first time since they met, Nozick smiled.

'He's finally understanding my language uh'

'This guy. . . even though he's not as strong as the thief, he's strong. . . I cannot beat him, but I'm curious; can he block sword of the moon. . . no no I'm not using the sword of the moon for a while, I plan to let it be my signature skill, besides it's still incomplete, whosoever created that sword skill is magnificent, I should probably look into it later. . .'

Nozick watched as the guy he thought he was finally going to fight was lost in thoughts.

'is he ignoring me. . . I don't think he would after seeing my aura, or does he think he can beat me, is he underestimating me?..'

Just then,

"If you'll excuse me I have to leave real quick, I'm getting late for my training session"

Rein bowed and ran on ahead. Nozick who's heart was now shattered for the third time by the same person was dumbfounded, he was trying so much to use his head, but he could not process a thing.

"argh! damnit I'll just talk to Russ about it, it's his fault anyways"

disappointed with his failure to have a splendid fight with Rein, he hauled himself away and to wherever.

Rein on reaching the Academy training facility turned back and smiled devilishly.

"thanks to paying attention to my insight stat, I've been knowing how to deal with complicated situations.

He headed inside.
