Chereads / The Legend of Zefer / Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 - The Mimic

Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 - The Mimic

Beating Jay was pretty easy. Zefer knew it would be, but this was an experiment. His plan was to make money and become stronger in progress. Other than that, he noticed that he could learn skills during fights. This was why he decided to challenge Luke next.

"Luke Lenard, All-In Battle."

Just like with Jay, a screen popped up in front of him. Luke looked at the screen then towards Zefer. "This motherfucker... he beat Jay, and now he thinks I'm going to fight him!? Fuck no!" Luke thought to himself and was about to hit the no button on the prompt screen; however, his eyes looked towards Karin.

"Wait a second... Everyone knows that Karin is a total fucking slut. She's only going out with Jay because he is cool-looking and strong. Once she gets her fangs in another man, she'll leave him. If I beat this guy that beat Jay, wouldn't that mean she'll come onto me?" Luke thought with his finger still hovering over the [No] selection.

His mind began to fill with all the naughty things he would do with Karin. Get his fill-in before she moved on. He didn't care about love or anything like that. As long as he could get his fill, he was okay if she left him. A smirk curved across his face, and he instantly hit the [yes] button. He completely forgot that this dude just beat the strongest of the four of them.

With his mind occupied with lust, it seemed like he wasn't prepared for the ass-whooping reality he would receive. Just like before, a barrier was created between Luke and Zefer. "Alright, let's do this!" Luke exclaimed and stomped upon the ground, which caused the earth to rise. He touched the earth with his hands and morphed it into a spear only to charge Zefer.

"Is this guy an idiot?" Ina thought since she saw what was going on. Zefer's disinterested face maintained its facade on the outside, while on the inside, he was shaking his head disapprovingly since it was pretty clear what Luke was after. Zefer began analyzing what he was going to do now.

"Let's see... To use elemental type spells. One needs to either use the mana in the atmosphere to formulate their element or use a source. Since the earth is all around us, it should be the easiest to use. Unlike Jay, who used the mana in the atmosphere to formulate water bullets, this boy used the earth as a source. Meaning, he most likely isn't strong enough to create those spears from nothing, but...."

Runic Energy began to formulate around his non-dominate hand; he began to apply the theory of creating an element, which consisted of drawing the mana in the atmosphere to one's body or using a source. Since Zefer didn't have mana and couldn't use the earth, his source came from his Runic Energy, which acted as both. After that, he applied visualization, which they taught students as a means to help them use their Spells.

This was to encourage the students to try and create unique spells on their own but have them capable of using already known spells. Since Zefer never had Marital Talent or any Mana, he did his best anyway because he figured that he could end up in a higher position in the future with the correct knowledge. However, all of that came crumbling down when the incident happened.

Still, he had this knowledge that allowed him to create a spear made entirely of Runic Energy; however, the spear was different from what one would think of a spear. The weapon looked wide near the handle, rather than slim and skinny. It narrowed towards the tip, which looked sharp and lethal, but nothing like a spear.

Ding!

[Skill: Runic Lance Learned!]

"A Lance?" Zefer thought as he looked it over. The lance radiated with power. A destructive and fiery glow, unlike anything anyone would have seen before. Seeing such a potent weapon in Zefer's hands made Luke stop in his tracks.

"What the hell is that!?" Luke exclaimed, but when he saw his opponent just standing there, he tossed the spear in his hand. "Ah, to hell with it! For sex!" Luke shouted internally and threw his spear like some kind of javelin.

Zefer shifted his eyes from the lance towards the spear since he saw something flying towards him. Zefer knocked the spear aside swiftly with his lance, but instead of hitting it aside, he shattered it entirely.

Everyone was left astonished by what had just happened. The spear made of the earth was crushed into tiny pebbles with only one swing of that mighty lance. Zefer, on the other hand, simply looked at his lance before shifting his eyes towards Luke, who at this moment knew he fucked up.

Zefer slowly approached Luke, looking like a menacing villain as he did, considering the glow in his unique eye and the powerful weapon in his left hand. Luke's legs began to shake out of fear as he wondered if there was anything he could do.

That earth spear was indeed all he had. He could create small balls of earth and shoot them like bullets or even create earth walls; however, he firmly believed that none of that would do anything against Zefer. Of course, Luke wasn't the only one shaking.

Karin's legs began to buckle as well. Her stomach began to fill with butterflies as she couldn't take her eyes off Zefer. Something about him triggered her primal instinct and made her want to do things she had never done with Jay or any other guy.

Meanwhile, Doran was left speechless. For whatever reason, something inside of him was telling him to run away, to alert the authorities. It was a feeling he only got whenever he felt like his life was threatened, and at this moment, he was feeling just that even though Zefer's eyes were locked solely on Luke.

Why?

Because he knew that after Zefer beat Luke, he would be next.

Zefer now stood before Luke and pulled the lance back. Luke shifted his eyes from the lance towards Zefer's eyes. Something inside of those eyes said that Zefer would kill him. At first, Luke denied it since this would put Zefer in prison, but when he looked back at the lance and saw how Zefer held no remorse, something told him that he would die.

"Fuck!" Luke exclaimed internally.

"I give up!" Luke shouted. It was just in time since Zefer nearly skewered Luke with the tip of the lance just centimeters from his body. Luke couldn't even move. His entire body had been frozen solid the moment he saw Zefer approaching him. All thoughts of fighting or fleeing had been erased. All he had thought of at the moment was if Zefer was going to kill him. This was why Luke never evaded or moved; he was struck with overwhelming fear.

The gambit was over, with Zefer winning, and once again, the medical team came out. Even though they were all wearing the same hazard suit, they were an entirely different crew. They escorted Luke away, which left him with Doran and Karin.

Just as Doran feared, he was next. He debated declining the battle, but now it was just him and Karin. Unlike Luke, Doran didn't care for Karin or her body. He knew she was just a harlot, like most girls at this academy. The only reason he did not hit no, was simply out of fear.

"What if this guy tries to kill me later? What if he gets upset that I declined, and he ends up hiring someone to kill me? I can simply just accept then give up right after. It seems like he is only after money. If that's the case, then I can do just that." Doran thought to himself. It was all he could think about. So, he hit yes, and he quit right as the battle began.

As such, just as Luke and Jay lost, he lost as well. All three of them gave up as to not get hurt too badly. Well, mainly Luke and Jay since Doran gave up instantly. This left Karin, who didn't know what to do. She saw how strong Zefer was and immediately changed her mind. She no longer saw Zefer as a weakling but someone strong...

...and hot!

She could see that Zefer wanted to fight her, so before he could challenge her, she tried to seduce him.

She slowly and seductively walked up to Zefer, swaying her hips as she did and trying to bounce her breast as much as possible. "Hey, handsome... You are quite strong. Why don't we go somewhere more private, and I can show you a good time." Karin said while pressing herself against Zefer. Using her best alluring voice while winking playfully at him.

The girl was a bit shorter than Zefer, so she ended up pressing her breast against his chest while looking up at him with flattering eyes. Zefer looked down at her, taking in the eye candy in front of him. Cleavage was the first thing he saw, then came her eyes filled with lust.

Zefer was about to decline her offer since he did not want to waste time with some woman. He believed his time could be better spent gaining Coins and getting stronger, but then a voice peered into his mind.

"Why not just go with it? You need to sleep with someone anyways. Besides, why not ask her for some Coins. You can clear two goals with one easy and messy problem." Ina's voice was all Zefer heard.

Zefer thought about it for a moment. His unamused expression never changed as he stared at Karin. The girl was filled with anticipation since Zefer was simply staring at her. The more she stared back, the more she felt like her mind was going to lose it. Then she received an answer...

"Okay, but you will have to pay me. I don't come cheap, Karin."
