A person who died and was back alive again, either as a transmigrator, reincarnator, or regressor, will always have a chaotic soul. Their fate will always be twisted. If two people with chaotic souls exist at the same time because of their twisted fates, they will definitely encounter each other. No matter how much they try to avoid it, fate will definitely make them encounter each other.
For that reason, up until now, I have never tried to look for the other transmigrator. I knew I would have to encounter him, even if I didn't want to.
When I saw rank 4999, I saw the soul of an adult. He looked like he was in his late twenties. Coincidentally, he also had a dark circle under his eyes. What kind of habit does he have?
I got inside the crowd and started to observe Rank 4999. His opponent was three and a half thousand ranks higher than him. The countdown just began, and people started betting. This is the most fun part of a duel. Anyone can bet and earn points. The betting ratio is 1:20.
'Of course it would be. His opponent is 3500 ranks higher than him. So what kind of idiot will bet on the second weakest person on the Academy when he looks like a vampire has sucked up 90% of his blood and he still somehow survived?'
Me.
After winning the previous duel, my point became 137. Most of the bets were on the charm user. Maybe because no one bet on me, I somehow got a whopping 50 points.
{You have bet 100 points on rank 4999.}
'You better win; you sucked up a grape.'
When the countdown was over, the betting list was updated.
Many of the crowd were surprised to see me betting so much on someone from the opposite class. But it was normal for some daredevil to gamble 100 points like this when the winning ratio was 1:20.
100 points are actually a lot. The Academy gives away two free points every day. So normally, it takes 50 days to collect 100 points. Currently, I have less than 50 left. So I am betting most of my points on him. Many kids here haven't even seen more than two digits on their watches.
After my previous fight and suddenly spending so many points, many people started approaching me. I already know nobody means anything good.
My mood was already irked by the humiliation I received at the ring. I still remember how people laughed at me.
I was just trying to focus on the battle for rank 4999. But these people just won't leave me alone. And there is this system.
[Unbelievable Achievement]
[Your howl made hundreds of people crumble.]
[Your achievement has been spread all over the academy.]
[The title 'The Human Screamer that Put Even Giants Roar into Shame has been upgraded to uncommon rank.]
[The title name has been changed to 'Soul Obliterating Bawler'. ]
[Title: Soul-Obliterating Bawler]
[Rank: Uncommon]
[Effect::Your roar has a high chance of putting your opponent in a state of fear and stun.]
'A debuff effect. At least the stupid name was changed. Now this actually feels like a real title.'
[The fear state may cause the opponent to temporarily lose up to 10% of their stats, depending on the power deference.]
[Stun may cause an opponent to temporarily knock out . The effect time will be different from person to person. Stunned opponents will have their movement speed reduced temporarily.]
'What the fuck? This is pure cheating. Are you sure you are giving this to me? Is this not a prank? This alone can be more powerful than an A-rank ability.'
[Cool down: 24 hours.]
'Bruh.'
[....]
The system didn't reply. But this is pure absurdity. With my soul puking—I mean, the howling that is technically just a waste—it can be an awesome ability with the help of this. I can't just imagine how powerful it will be when I grow stronger. But still I could use it as a trump card for now.
{ The duel is over.}
{Winner : Rank 4999}
The crowd began shouting.
"What the..?"
"What the hell happened?"
"This is a scam. Just how did he win so fast?
"I want my money back."
"You piece of shit. Just how did you lose to the second-weakest in the academy? Shame on you for being ranked inside the 1500."
Some people started making a scene. So many people bet on Rank 4999 losing. So while some yelled, calling it a scam, others badmouthed the rank of 1447 for losing.
The fight was replayed on the big screen above.
From class A-1, Rank 4999 was standing with a wand in his hand. His hands looked like they had almost no muscles. On the other side was a tall and healthy kid. He was ranked 1447 in class B-1. He was holding a long spear. Unlit, the count was over, and none of them spoke. And when the countdown was over, neither of them rushed to attack the other.
Rank 1447: You look so thin. Can you even fight?
Rank 4999: Worry about your own.
Rank 1447: I said it for your own good, you know. My rank is more than three thousand higher than yours. Surely I am stronger than you. And you look so thin; it looks like you still need to go drink your mama's milk.
Rank 4999 raised his wand. Rank 1447 did the same and raised his spear. He dashed forward, not willing to give Rank 4999 enough time to cast any spell. But suddenly he started coughing. He started coughing so violently that he suddenly started vomiting. But what he vomited was blood. His eyes became blood red, and blood dripped from his nostrils. After painting the floor red, he fainted. The battle was over.
Rank 4999 left, without a single word spoken.
The crowd was just completely speechless. This was the fastest and bloodiest duel today. And it was, most importantly, very creepy. No one even realised what the attack was. The skinny kid didn't chant any spells; he didn't make any gestures. All he did was raise his wand.
Rank 1447 was quickly taken away for medical treatment. A robot came and cleaned the floor within seconds. And very soon, the next battle started as if it were the most normal thing to do.
