Chapter 13 - Chapter 2, Part 5: Unexpected Battle

Satou was enjoying himself torturing the cute girl. He felt pleasant and a smile carved on his lips when he heard her scream in agony and pain. He had used a mediocre spell that was at his disposal and the girl was not even able to defend herself from the hit.

This is why weaklings like her are fit to be Master Valkyrie's slave.

He thought.

His face lit up when he thought about all the nasty things his Master would let him do to her if he managed to break her now.

His Master was fond of beautiful cute girls and being the first son of the powerful Valkyrie Family, Satou believed that it was his Master's right to get any beauty he wishes to lay his hands on.

In Satou's eyes, any girl should feel honored that she is even getting his Master's attention. And this filthy commoner dared to go against his wishes.

How dare she?

So, Satou had made up his mind to punish the pink-headed girl to his heart's content until she begged him to stop and take her.

But just as he shot another spell, a young blue-haired boy came forward and dispelled his attack.

The pink-haired girl who was able to maintain her stance till now looked up to see who had come to save her.

The boy was wearing a white uniform which suggested that he was from a noble family.

'You dare to come in my way,'

Satou threatened.

'As if a threat from a freaking douche bag would be enough to harm me,'

The boy satirically replied.

Satou's eyebrows raised, this was the first time anyone had defied him.

'You dare to call me a douchebag?'

Satou screamed.

Nobody dared to call him names since he was the right hand of Ronan Valkyrie. Insulting him was equivalent to insulting his Master and that was the one thing that he could not tolerate.

'Die!'

[Dark Nebula]

Satou fired a spell from his baton. A black fire came out of its tip in the boy's direction at an unprecedented speed. The black fire was 100 times more intense than a normal yellow fire. The spell uses sawdust and novadust element in 3:7 ratio so, to be able to cast this spell, a caster has to carefully measure and control the amount of mana to feed on his cargon. The spell was the strongest spell that Satou could cast and he was sure that it would destroy the boy who dared to go against him and insult his master.

Die bitch!

Satou sneered.

[Devour]

Satou heard the boy cast a spell from what looked like a thin tapering stick. In an instant, Satou's black fire was devoured by a circular dimensional rift that appeared from the tip of the weird-looking stick. And just like that his black fire vanished leaving no trace behind.

'What the-'

Satou could not suppress his surprise.

The most powerful spell in his vicinity and it vanished like air with a single spell. Satou regained his thoughts and started searching for a weakness.

Who is this guy?

He questioned.

As much as Satou boasted his power in front of everybody but a person who could dispel his powerful spell in just a single shot was not someone he could make light of.

'Look Satou, I don't want to fight, I am willing to leave you in peace if you just apologized to the little missy here, standing behind me,'

The boy casually said as if he wasn't even bothered by the previous attack.

How dare he underestimate me?

Satou's eyes glistened with rage.

'Apologize to that weakling,'

Satou sneered.

'Why should I, it's her fault that she is weak and she dared go against my master's wish,'

'Well, I tried giving you an out but seems like you don't wanna take it,'

The boy calmly said.

He was starting to get on Satou's nerves now. But Satou could do nothing; he had used his trump card way too soon and he had no tricks up his sleeves whereas the boy's true strength was unknown.

'Stop bullshitting me,'

Satou screamed and fired a [Black Smoke] spell.

This spell allowed him to release a poisonous mist like black smoke. It was an area attack spell, which meant he was targetting the onlookers too.

[Devour]

'You know for someone, who was boasting about his power while torturing a helpless girl, no less, and now trying to endanger other students too, you're a real scum,'

The boy's expression changed drastically in that last part. His eyes narrowed and now he glared intensely towards Satou.

For Satou who had never bowed down to someone and never lost a fight, this unexpected duel was a blow to his pride.

I'll kill that damn bastard!

He made up his mind. But in his current situation he was very helpless.

Before Satou could make his move the boy who was in front of him this whole time suddenly vanished from sight in just a blink of an eye, suddenly he felt a presence behind his back and just as he was about to turn to defend from the boy's attack, he felt an intense pain radiating from his face to his chest.

The boy's movement was so fast that it was practically impossible to percept his speed through naked eyes. He was faster than light. Everybody gasped at the climax of this intense battle. Nobody had even thought that Satou Fause, right-hand man of Ronan Valkyrie would be defeated so easily. In fact, nobody had any idea how and what had happened. In their eyes, the new boy just vanished, and a second later, Satou was struck down and the boy was standing where Satou stood.

But the boy was not satisfied with just one kick to Satou's face. He walked towards him, grabbed him by his hair, and dragged his body towards the pink-haired girl.

'You messed up when you did not accept my proposal, now you will pay for your actions with your screams,'

The boy said in a serious tone as a smile broke across his face.

'Listen up, you mother-fucking maggots, you people were watching and smiling when this girl was tortured by this piece of shit. I will show you what happens to douchebag like Satou,'

He declared.

Then what happened could only be said a brutal payback punishment. The boy kept his hands on the pink girl's head and pointing his fancy stick at now nearly unconscious Satou, a spherical barrier began to form around Satou and it covered his entire body. Then whatever spells Satou had used on the girl, all those spells began to fire inside the spherical barrier targetting him. And with every damage that he received, the girl's condition began to improve, her wounds began to heal. But the screams of the agonized Satou scared all present onlookers out of their very soul.

No one was sure what kind of spell the boy used that had such an effect. And the confusing part was he did not even chant the spell, it just activated on its own.

Who is he?

My god, he is the devil!

Isn't that going too far?

The boy did not even flinch and he kept on going without mercy. After the girl was fully restored, he terminated the effects of the spell. Satou's body looked like a charred and burned flesh but he was still breathing only he was unconscious.

With that, the boy made his way towards The Round Table Building and the girl followed behind him.

From the top of the Round Table Building, a boy wearing a rectangular spectacle had a shocked expression on his face. He was greatly observing the match that just occurred between Ronan Valkyrie's right hand Satou and an unknown boy. The boy was wearing a white uniform and his origins were unknown. Even the Carborator had no information on him.

But nonetheless, he was without a doubt too powerful to be in this academy. He easily overpowered one of the strongest first-year students and he did not even have to shred a sweat to defeat Satou.

'Mark, get me all the information you can get on this boy, anything, ASAP,'

The spectacled boy said, fixing his spectacles and arranging his thoughts.

On the other hand among the onlookers was a tall red-haired girl of exceptional beauty in a white uniform. A shiny red badge shone on her coat that displayed an image of a fire dragon and was surrounded by strong-looking boys. She too happened to watch the match and was shocked at how easily the unknown boy defeated Satou and whats more the spells that he used had an exceptionally overwhelming effect. She too wanted to know more about this skilled boy who had piqued her interest.

'Guy, I want to have all detailed information on that boy and arrange someone to keep an eye on him,'

She ordered a short-haired muscular guy who was standing attentively beside her. On his coat, a black badge shone displaying an image of a serpent.

'As you wish, milady'

Guy bowed and left to complete his task.

Seems like this year would be interesting!

The red-haired girl thought and started to make her way towards the building.
