Livia POV:
"Huff...hufff....hufff...hufff"
Who? Just who are they? Luckily I seem to be their target as all of them left my teammates and are chasing after me....but facing 4 D rankers and 2 C rankers alone is just way too difficult plus I am already injured.....
"I need help"
Tom is outside the dungeon.... then maybe I can group up with some of the rankers....
' Taking out the device from the academy' I quickly checked the provided map'
[Harold Light] [390m]
".....Harold? That's the second rank right?.....good then.....hmm?
[Arthur Riverblood] [624m]
"Hold on isn't that Arthur?"
Arthur... if I remember correctly he managed to defend against Tom who is a B ranker....he was definitely hiding his power, but do I trust him enough? Urghh! there's no time to think let's just follow him. He is strong for sure..

Sophia POV:
who are they? And how dare they attack the academy? Also WHAT IS THAT OLD JEEZER DOING??!!
"Tsk....hey Sali they seem to target us for some reason"
Staring back at me was Sali Malak who is very famous for her healing and support magic.
" Yes, miss Sophia. They are probably after other rankers"
sigh.... thought so... luckily we sent the other three weak teammates back.
so far only D rankers showed up... hopefully there are no--
"--Two?! I hit the jackpot"
Suddenly, someone appeared from behind where we were. A hooded man that exuded a stronger aura than the others.
"!!"
shit....I can't tell what rank he is... but he is probably a C ranker....
" I am so lucky, I got two in the list specially you"
Why is he pointing at me? We need a plan he is different from the rest...
" Psst.... Sali..you can use healing right?"
"hmm?.....yes....but I think we should escape he is stronger than the others"
" Just listen to me for now.... I got a plan "
after telling Sali my plan she seemed flustered at first but well I think this is the only way we can take him down...
" Finished your last chit chat? Well sorry kids nothing personal... this was an order specifically you mage"
Me?
" That crazy bomber wanted your head so much that she provided a lot of funds to this operation"
bomber?...WAIT?!!!
" WHERE IS THAT BIT@#?!!! WHERE?!!"
" Sheesh almost scared me little girl... anyway just wanted to vent my stress before killing you both"
"WHERE THE F--
"SOPHIA!!"
??
"hmm?"
" Calm down! Don't you see that he has no intent to answer you? Please focus"
"....."
S--she is right... I need to calm down and focus on taking him down. Shouting will do nothing...
" Thanks, Sali... let's do exactly as I told you"
'Nodding In affirmation' me and Sali got ready to fight.

Arthur POV:
Men.... this is too boring....
"Pweas...so..rr.y..."
hmm? Oh that....wait a minute what was his name again? Anyway that thug now looks like a good Halloween costume.
" Seriously, I didn't expect to find ' Wind Blade' in the academy"
Both him and Anna if groomed correctly they could go on par with tha main lead. However, Anna will need that elven artifact to become a cheat. Also, ray already has a good background, but he probably doesn't understand his power yet. Waiting for him to bloom will take a lot of time, and even after that he died naively in the war.
Well enough of that, let's check on the main lead...
' Taking out the device I quickly scanned the main characters'
Looks like Sophia and Sali both are together just like in the novel, so they will do fine together. Loren? She seems fine
Hmm?
"Wait..Wait..Wait"
why is Harold alone? Where in the hell is Livia?!!!
[Livia Roman] [158m]
"Hmm?"
[Livia Roman] [123m]
"W--wait!"
[Livia Roman] [98m]
"Why?W-Why is she g-getting closer?"
[Livia Roman] [54m]
SHE IS COMING HERE!!!
Why? Isn't she supposed to go to Harold and help him and once he kill 10 of the D rankers he can unlock the skill that allowed him to kill the C rankers?!!!!!
"Shit...first I need to calm down"
[ Activating 'Ring of Wisdom' ]
[ Calculating..... The effect will run out in 30 minutes! ]
"Fuuu...."
This ring is amazing .... no matter how many times I think about it. It is a priceless treasure..
[Livia Roman] [14m]
"ARTHUR!!"
" Sighe..yo, Livia "

Livia's POV:
"Huff...Huff! F-finally!"
[Arthur Riverblood ] [ 14m ]
"ARTHUR!!"
Finally!! I can see him!
" Yo, Livia"
"Hff..Hff?"
As expected, even in this situation he is calm. I knew it, he definitely is strong...b..but will he help me in the first plac-
" -Hoo? You aren't running anymore? Did you finally give up? Hmm... who is this? Another kid? Yo is that 4 digits? this little shit is too weak"
" What did you say you bastard?"
Arthur seems annoyed? Shit if he loses his temper we might be killed I need to calm him down...
"Arthu-"
-I said little shit..what you deaf or something? Listen pis#$% I don't care which daddy or mommy you have.. but if you don't get on your knees and start begging.. then I will kill you"
"....."
"Arthur, don't listen to him they are strong. Those two mages are both C ranks--"
"Wait mages?.....Pfft..Hahahahha"
"Arthur?"
why is he laughing? This is a life or death situation and he is treating it like a joke?! Did he lose his mind??
"Hahah.....ha.... this is not even funny..."
" What? You crazy or something brat?"
Again?! He is provoking him!
" First this little halloween guy.. and then you guys..."
???? What in the world is he mumbling?
" Arthu--"
" -step back Livia..."
hmm? N--no way is he going to face them all alone? This is too crazy no matter how strong he is he ca--
" Don't worry.. you see those guys are mages.... and it happens to be that I am their worst match"
"....."
Wait... Tom is B rank yet he couldn't tackle him down... maybe Arthur is B...No wait?! Could he be A? Im-Impossible? A rank at this age is humanly impossible.. then why? Why is it that he is so relaxed in fighting those C rankers? why was he able to defend against Tom?
" .... Pffft.. kid you hit your head or something... anyway....it was fun chatting with you..... now die..
...[ Mana Beam!]
*Pew*
before the mana beam could reach Arthur, the very same void like space appeared right before the beam and ate it like nothing....
*Vwamm*
""?!!""
" It's the same ability that he used before before...."
What is that? I can feel goosebumps rising when I see that empty void... just what is the nature of this magic?
" W--What the hell is that? What are you guys spacing out for?!! Attack you dimwits!!"
""?!! Yessir""
[ Ice Spear!]
[Fire Ball!!]
[ Rock Slingshot!!]
*Vwam*
*Vwam*
*Vwam*
"W---W---What the in the world is that?!!"
" I--I don't know?!"
" KEEP ATTACKING YOU STUPID Fu$%$"
[ Magical Arrow!!]
*Vwam*
It is beautiful...no matter how many attacks they shoot...
[ Poison Mist!!]
*Vwam*
Every time they attack...this space.... is boundless...
" Step aside idiots, paul! come let's attack together!!"
[ Fire Missile!!!] [ Acid Rain!!!]
*Vwam* *Vwam*
Nothing they do works...
'Crack' 'Crack'
" You guys are done? My fists are quite bored"
""?!""
"B--boss what do we do?"
"I---I don't know, Hey! Meat head! go and attack him maybe he is weak in close range!"
"Y..yes boss"
Wait... he is not a mage! I need t-.. .
*Punch*

N--no.. for some reason Arthur is not dodging...I need to summon a spirit to help hi...[ Hear my voice.... spirits o---] "Huh?"
Arthur?....is he smiling?...
"is that it? You call that a punch? "
"...."
"....Your punches are too weak...here... I will give you a free lesson..... this is how you punch"
*PUNCH*
" URGHhH!!!!"
*POUND*
"S--STOP P-"
*PUNCH*
"B--boss Hel--"
" SMACK"
"..Pwea-"
*PUNCH* *PUNCH* *PUNCH* *PUNCH* *PUNCH* *PUNCH* *PUNCH*
"...."
"A--Arthur! I think he is already unconscious"
"What? Really?....anyway wait a sec we need to hurry up and go to Harold after this"
M--monster.. he is not even alarmed. And here I was worried about him... but what did he mean by hurry up?
" You guys attacked and now it is my round to be the one who knocks"
" K--Knocks?..."
"YES SKYLER!!!"
"BOSS HELP, HE IS A MANIAC"
