"Are you serious? You think I'm the one who did that?" Letti asked, her voice filled with defiance.
"Yes, I believe you're the one responsible, and I have proof. What do you have to defend yourself?" Seti replied confidently.
"Oh, so you want proof, huh?" Letti retorted, a sly smile on her face as she reached into her handbag and retrieved a glass ball, infusing it with mana.
As the mana circulated within the crystal ball, images began to form inside it.
"You idiots, don't release them now," Seti exclaimed.
"But ma'am, we've already released them, and we can't retrieve them now."
"Useless idiots."
Seti's secret conversation echoed through the crystal ball, and everyone watched in surprise.
"You bitch, break that crystal now, or..." Seti started threatening Letti, but before she could finish, Letti interrupted her.
"One copy of this crystal ball has already been sent to Director Kale's office," Letti declared with a wide grin.
"A teacher or a cheater?" a commoner student chimed in.
"That's why they say, 'You need a mind to even cheat,'" another student added.
"Hahaha!"
"Hehehe, what a foolish teacher."
Laughter erupted among the commoner students.
"If you can't support us, at least try not to slow us down, idiot." a noble student remarked.
"What kind of teacher uses this sort of trick on their own student?"
"A foolish one."
"Why does she have to be so cunning? Now we'll lose just because of her."
The noble students began to voice their frustrations about Seti and started criticizing her.
"Seti, come to my office now!" Kale's voice boomed from his office.
"Fuck, I'll get you for this," Seti muttered, pointing at Letti.
"I think he'll get you first," Letti mocked, laughing.
Seti made her way to Kale's office with an annoyed look on her face.
'She thinks she's the only smart one. I didn't doubt her the first time, but going to the same empty room a second time seemed suspicious. That's when I followed her and obtained this solid proof,' Letti thought, a satisfied smile on her face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, nearly 30 to 40 golden frogs have surrounded Luna, and their next move will come soon. What will Luna do?" Seraphina announced.
"I think she'll stop her skill now and try to kill them, what do you think brother ?" Samantha suggested as she asked jake about it.
"No, she's running low on mana, and if she uses another spell, she'll go unconscious due to mana fatigue," Jake replied.
"She's doomed. This is where she dies, the first death of the 'Kingdom's Night Run,'" Frank commented from behind with a neutral expression on his face.
Both Jake and Samantha glanced at Frank momentarily, then turned their attention back to the screen.
"Screw this, I have to stop or I'm going to die at this rate. This is my best chance to counterattack," Luna declared as she canceled the Lightning Sprint.
As soon as she stopped, numerous golden frogs leaped onto her from all sides.
Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit
"Aura Blast!" Luna unleashed her most powerful area of effect skill.
[Aura Blast] [S-Rank] [Martial Artist Exclusive Skill]
[Prepare to witness the sheer might of the martial artist as they tap into their inner energy. With unparalleled focus and intensity, they channel the very essence of their surroundings, drawing forth an extraordinary surge of ki. The atmosphere crackles with anticipation as this raw power converges at a single point, swirling and coalescing around the martial artist's body.
And then, in a spectacular display of controlled chaos, the martial artist unleashes the devastating technique known as 'Aura Blast.' With a thunderous roar that resonates through the air, the accumulated energy detonates, erupting outward in a cataclysmic wave of sheer force.
Within a five-meter radius surrounding the martial artist, the world seems to bend and yield beneath the unstoppable torrent of ki. The ground trembles, cracks spiderweb outwards, and the very air quivers with its might. Anyone unfortunate enough to stand within this battleground of unleashed energy finds themselves at the mercy of this explosive assault.]
[Mana: Consumes 5000 mana per use]
[Warning: The side effects of this skill can be very dangerous. If the body isn't immediately repaired with the help of ki after its use, the user may suffer from bone fractures, torn muscles, unconsciousness, and in worst cases, death.]
Suddenly, the air around Luna turned into a vacuum as her body absorbed everything within 0.5 seconds.
Boom
She unleashed a deadly wave of aura from her body, obliterating the golden frogs into countless pieces of golden meat.
"Ahhh..." Luna's head immediately started throbbing as she fell to her knees.
The golden frogs began regenerating, and this time, thousands of them swarmed towards Luna, intent on devouring her.
Seventh Ring, Martial House...
"Luna has exhausted her stamina and ki," an old werewolf sitting on a chair remarked. Despite his age, his body remained young, boasting eight-pack abs and gray fur all over.
"Sir, may I go and save her?" a butler standing nearby asked.
"No, our house has never cheated in any battle. If she dies today, it would mean she was weak," the man replied firmly as he formed a stop gesture with his right hand, towards the butler.
"Dear husband, please don't do this. Please save our child. She's our only child," a woman direwolf with black fur, Huge Boobs, ultra huge ass, and a cute face pleaded, stepping out from a corner of the room.
"I said 'NO.' Do you plan to go against my orders, woman?" the man shouted, his voice so loud that the woman immediately cowered and retreated to the same corner she had come from.
"Y-Yes, a-as you say, my dear h-husband," she said, her tone filled with fear as tears streamed down her face.
"My husband is doing the right thing. You should be proud that your daughter fought to survive until her last breath," another woman with white fur, red eyes, medium sized breasts, and a flat ass spoke up from another corner of the room.
"Shut up, seri, or you'll be next," the man warned the other woman.
"As you command, my husband," she replied, her tone dripping with flattery as she fell silent.
"You can't do a single thing, and you call yourself my right hand? You fucking imbecile," Kale sneered, his fingers tapping impatiently on the table, a show of his growing frustration.
"Sir, it was meant for Anon, not Luna—" Seti began, her voice trembling with fear.
"Oh, my apologies, Mrs. Seti. I must have mistaken it for Luna, given that she's the one about to meet her untimely demise on that damn screen," Kale retorted sarcastically, his tone dripping with disdain.
"Sir, I'm deeply sorry. Please grant me an opportunity to rectify my mistake," Seti pleaded, her voice filled with desperation.
"No, this cannot be corrected. Today, the leader of the Martial House will witness his beloved daughter's tragic end right before his very eyes. He'll uncover your deceitful little trick, and tomorrow, we'll all be doomed. And the worst part? The Martial House has the unwavering support of the Denver House of Justice..." Kale's voice grew eerily low, carrying a foreboding sense of dread.
Tension gripped Seti's face as her expression transformed from remorse to one of sheer desperation, silently begging for a chance at redemption.
"But sir, we can still utilize the teleportation portal to reach there and save her," Seti suggested, her voice filled with a glimmer of hope.
"No, the portal takes at least ten precious minutes to activate. Do you think we have enough skilled teachers at our disposal to combat that formidable army of fully-grown, double-mutated golden frogs?" Kale replied firmly, his voice laced with a hint of resignation.
"Sir, please save me. I've done something terribly wrong. I beg of you, save me," Seti pleaded, her grip tightening on Kale's legs as she dropped all pretense of dignity.
"I can't. Tomorrow, the leader of the Martial House will summon me to their family court session. His eldest son will be present, and he will demand to know who orchestrated such a cruel fate for his cherished daughter. I'll have no choice but to hand you over to them. If I were to lie, they would inevitably discover the truth within a day or two. No matter where you hide, they'll eventually find you, for they possess the means to unearth you from the very depths of hell itself. And then, not only would they realize that I deceived them, but they would deliver upon me a fate far worse than death. No, I cannot take that risk. Tomorrow morning, at the crack of dawn, you shall be handed over to the Martial House," Luke explained, his voice laden with an air of finality.
Listening to all this, Seti's face turned ashen, a cold shiver running down her spine as the gravity of her situation engulfed her entirely.
"Sir, I've always been an obedient servant, faithfully executing your every command. Please, I implore you, save me this one time. Each time you desired me to get naked for you and bend down in front of you, I complied without hesitation or inquiry. Are you truly prepared to abandon me now?" Seti pleaded, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and betrayal.
"I'm sorry, Seti, but there's only one person who can save you now," Kale replied, his voice tinged with a hint of sorrow.
"W-Who?" Seti asked, a flicker of hope igniting within her eyes.
'Who possesses more authority than Director Kale himself?' Seti's mind raced, seeking an answer.
"Anon Agreil," Kale declared, his voice firm and resolute.
"What?" Seti exclaimed, her surprise evident.
"Yes, in approximately forty seconds, those frogs will regenerate fully and commence devouring Luna's unconscious body. But Anon has the power to save her, as well as you. If he can reach her within the next thirty-five seconds, carrying her weight while running for at least ten minutes, only then can we establish a teleportation portal between this very spot and the Draven Forest, thus granting us a chance to rescue her," Kale explained, his voice brimming with urgency.
"But why would he help her?" Seti asked, her voice a mix of curiosity and skepticism.
"Every student is provided with a one-time-use communication crystal to forfeit a match if they desire. Anon must have obtained one from Letti. Now, go and grab Luna's legs if you wish to see the sun rise tomorrow. Hurry!" Kale commanded.
"Yes," Seti acknowledged, her determination renewed.
With thirty-two seconds left, Seti hurriedly made her way towards Letti.
"Letti, please give me the communication crystal connected to the one you gave Anon," Seti requested, a forced smile gracing her face.
"Well, guess what? It seems I've lost it, bitch," Letti responded, her voice dripping with venom.
"Shit! Ms. Letti has really nailed it!" a second-year common girl chimed in from the crowd.
"She always strikes when the iron is hot," another voice added.
"A freshly ruined reputation, served to Mrs. Seti."
Laughter erupted from the commoners as they wasted no time mocking Seti's misfortune.
"You! You can't talk to me like that! You're nothing but a common—"
"Mind your words, bitch. The fate of what unfolds on that screen now depends on the next words that escape your lips," Letti interrupted, exuding confidence. She had calculated every move, anticipated this precise moment, and now held the upper hand against Seti.
Suddenly, a look of dread washed over Seti's face as Kale's earlier warning echoed in her mind.
With twenty seconds remaining...
"Haha, my dear friend Letti, you've always been a loyal companion. Surely, you can find it in your heart to forgive me for any transgressions. Please, grant me the crystal. I beg of you," Seti's tone changed dramatically, adopting the utmost politeness.
"Nope," Letti replied curtly, enjoying the sudden reversal of power.
"What do you want, then?" Seti inquired, her voice resolute once more.
"Hmm... I'm having difficulty hearing you clearly. I think it's due to the change in your tone," Letti taunted, relishing the moment.
"Haha, what do you desire, my dear friend Letti? Name it, and I, your senior, shall make it happen. Gold, magic crystals, academy points—just say the word," Seti offered, desperately seeking a way out.
"Alright, I want a blank mana contract," Letti declared, a glint of mischief in her eyes.
A blank contract, akin to a blank check, except writing an amount greater than the giver's capacity would cause the check to bounce. A mana contract, however, bound the promise-maker to fulfill any request, no matter how immoral or illegal, under the penalty of instant death should they break their word, irrespective of their strength or authority.
"What nonsense? Why would I give you a blank—"
"Forget it, then. I believe there are about fourteen seconds left before the frogs feast upon Luna," Letti interrupted, her voice oozing with certainty.
"Fuck it, I'll give it to you right here!" Seti conjured a paper with an intricate magic circle imprinted upon it.
Chk
Seti bit her finger, drawing blood, and allowed a drop to fall onto the agreement.
The paper glowed, and the once-black magic circle transformed into a vibrant blue.
"Now, hand it over," seti demanded.
Reluctantly, letti retrieved a crystal ball from her bag and extended it toward seti. But, just as Seti reached for it, the crystal ball slipped from Letti's grasp and crashed to the ground.
The countdown continued, and time slipped away...
"W-What? W-Why would you do that?" Seti asked, her tone trembling with fear as she beheld her impending death before her.
"Oops," Letti mocked, a wicked smile playing on her lips.
Seti stared at Letti, instantly realizing that it was done intentionally.
'I am dead now.' The thought reverberated in Seti's mind, accepting the dire reality that awaited her.
"Anon is coming, look!" a student shouted from the behind of the Commoner's section.
All eyes turned toward the screen, anticipation hanging in the air.
"Everyone, as you can see, Anon has arrived at the scene. Let's see what happens next," Landon announced, his voice tinged with excitement.
"Please save her," Seti murmured under her breath, a desperate plea to the fates.
Anon sprinted at full speed in Luna's direction, his focus unwavering.
"Hmm...? Is that Luna?" Anon questioned himself, spotting the unconscious body of the werewolf girl amidst a sea of golden frogs.
'Why is she unconscious here?' Anon wondered, his mind racing to comprehend the situation.
"Sickles of Death..." Two sickles materialized in Anon's hands, their appearance accompanied by flames that engulfed Anon's body.
"Wait, Anon has summoned his weapons. What are those? A pair of sickles covered in flames ? Is he going to fight for Luna? Why would a competitor fight for another competitor?" Seraphina voiced her confusion, her face contorting into a mixture of amusement and bewilderment.
'A Commoner would never help a noble, even if he can. Why would he help luna ?' Seraphina thought in her mind.
"What are those sickles, they are emitting a mysterious aura ?" Samantha asked in confusion.
"They are no ordinary weapons; they possess a special grade. Crafted by a masterful blacksmith," Frank revealed, his knowledge surpassing the average observer because he has seen them before.
"What? A special grade weapon? I understand that he had a special grade mana potion earlier, but to possess a special grade weapon as well... Isn't that a bit peculiar?" Jake pondered, his mind swirling with questions.
"Haha, what's odd about having a special grade weapon? My family owns hundreds of them," Frank interjected hastily, attempting to divert attention from the topic, unwilling to reveal that he had divulged Anon's secret.
"No, we are from the seven noble houses. Having hundreds of them is no extraordinary matter for us. However, for a commoner like him, how?" Jake queried, his curiosity piqued.
"Look, brother, he's about to charge in. But how can he fight with sickles? I just can't comprehend this," Samantha expressed her confusion, her brows furrowed.
"Why can't he fight with sickles?" Frank challenged, seeking understanding.
"These golden frogs are double-mutated. Once injured, they release a dangerous acid, and to eliminate them, hunters must maintain a safe distance. However, with sickles, that distance becomes significantly shorter," Jake elucidated, shedding light on the precarious nature of the situation.
The trio redirected their gaze to the screen, eager to witness Anon's next move.
"No, you idiot! Don't fight them; just pick up the girl and leave!" Seti shouted at the screen, her voice laced with desperation.
Everyone looked at her in confusion.
*Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit*
Thousands of frogs regenerated their bodies completely and swarmed Luna's motionless form, poised to devour her.
However, before they could reach her, a blazing sickle sliced through the horde, effortlessly cleaving them like a knife through butter.
Ten frogs fell to the ground, their bodies irreparably damaged. The sickles of death absorbed the green blood that spilled forth, resulting in the instant demise of the golden frogs.
"What? The golden frogs have ceased regenerating? Is that even possible, Seraphina?" Landon inquired, astonishment evident in his voice.
"I, too, am witnessing this phenomenon for the first time in my life, Landon," Seraphina confessed, her eyes widening in disbelief.
n𝗼𝑣𝗲(𝓁𝓫-1n
'I cannot waste any more time. There are too many of these frogs, yet I cannot abandon her. I want this girl in my collection, and no one but me shall touch the girl I desire,' Anon resolved, returning the sickles of death to his inventory.
'I didn't intend to resort to this, but there is no other choice now.'
[50% Mana Remaining]
"Fuck off!" Anon's voice thundered across the desert, his eyes shimmering a vibrant purple as his voice grew more commanding than ever.
Suddenly, all the golden frogs in Anon's vicinity froze momentarily before obediently walking away, as if compelled by his command.
"What? How in the hell is that possible? The frogs are departing, as if following Anon's every whim," Landon exclaimed, bewildered by the extraordinary display.
"Who is this boy, Landon?" Seraphina questioned, her gaze fixated on the screen before her, searching for answers.
Anon continued his sprint, cradling Luna in his arms, his determination unyielding to let go of her.
'Her fur is so soft.' Anon thought as a perverted smile appeared on his face and he slided his hand underneath luna's ass to feel the real softness.
Thud
Seti collapsed to her knees, her hands instinctively covering her mouth.
"She's safe," Seti uttered, tears of joy streaming down her face.
'Anon, you cunning bastard. I knew you would seize the opportunity to gain favor with the Martial House by rescuing their daughter. And I, too, secured a blank mana contract. It's a win-win for both of us.' Letti contemplated, a subtle smile playing on her lips as she observed Anon's actions.
"Phew, she's safe," Kale breathed a sigh of relief, the weight on his shoulders lifting.
"How did your brother do that, Gia?" a girl inquired, turning to Gia for answers.
"Yeah, does he possess the skill of monster taming?" another chimed in, their curiosity piqued.
"It's as if he hypnotized the frogs into obeying his commands. Do you know anything about it, Gia?" Yumi probed, seeking answers from Anon's sister.
"Nope, my brother never shares details about his skills. I know nothing about them," Gia responded with a neutral expression. However, beneath her composed facade, a surge of desire coursed through her at the memory of Anon's piercing purple eyes, recalling the intense moments they had shared intimately.
Her face flushed crimson, a single thought consuming her mind.
'Brother, dominate me once more. I want to be enslaved by those captivating purple eyes once more. Ravish me like a savage.'
Kia's mind drifted to equally carnal thoughts.
"Damn it, those eyes... Why are my panties becoming wet ? I just put them on today," she fretted, unconsciously rubbing her clit through her pink panda patterned panties.
"System, scan her body." Anon commanded, his heart pounding as he ran with Luna cradled in his arms.
[Scanning...]
[New DNA has been found.]
[DNA has been registered inside the 'Book Of Wisdom'.]
"Show me."
[Opening Book Of Wisdom]
[Werewolf (Female)] [Condition: Critical]
[14 bone fractures have been found.
117 muscle tissues have been torn apart.
10 brain tissues have been damaged.]
[Conclusion: Must be healed within the next 10 minutes or death will be the result.]
"Fuck, her body is in a critical situation. Can you repair it?" Anon asked, desperation seeping into his voice.
[25% mana will be consumed from the Host's body.]
"Fuck, take it," Anon granted permission to the system, his voice tinged with determination.
[Starting to repair the werewolf body]
[Injecting mana]
[Finding path to reach the tissues]
[Estimated time for repair: 8 minutes.]
[Warning: Separating the werewolf from the host's body now will result in instant death for the werewolf.]
Numerous windows popped up in front of Anon, a testament to the gravity of the situation.
Inside the portal room of the academy...
"Is the portal ready ?" Seti demanded, her voice laced with urgency.
"Ma'am, you just arrived a minute ago, and the portal will take at least 15 minutes to activate," the worker explained, his hands frantically manipulating a large metal ring in the center of the room.
"I don't have 15 minutes. I need to get to the location now," Seti snapped, her impatience palpable.
"Shit," the worker muttered under his breath.
"What happened?" Seti inquired, her eyes narrowing.
"The magic crystal that operates the portal is missing," the worker confessed, anxiety etched on his face.
"What? Where did it go?" Seti asked, surprise mingling with frustration.
"I don't know, ma'am. I just entered this room. It has been locked for many years because no one used this portal," the worker explained, his head constantly looking down in fear.
"Fuck, find it in the storage room. Here is the key," Seti commanded, tossing a bunch of keys towards the worker.
"Y-Yes, ma'am," the worker stammered, quickly grabbing the keys and hurrying out of the room.
"Shit, who the fuck separated the magic crystal from the portal?" Seti muttered to herself as she briskly left the room.
Seventh ring, Martial House...
"She is safe. My daughter is safe," tears streamed down the black werewolf milf's eyes, a mixture of relief and gratitude.
"That fucking bastard saved her. Who the fuck is that boy?" Seri thought, her frustration evident as she nervously chewed her nails.
"Who is that kid, Helix?" the family leader of the Martial House inquired, his voice commanding.
"He is Anon Agreil, sir. His father was killed by his stepmother, but she couldn't cover it up well. His stepmother planned to kill him as well, but failed. He has three stepsisters who have attended the same academy for the last two years.
He made quite a show on the first day of college entry. It was observed by students that he jumped off a three-eyed raven with his sister in his arms.
He set a world record in javelin throw during the first test and in the second test, he obliterated the immortal dummy into countless pieces of dust with a weapon he made himself," Helix reported, providing a comprehensive overview to the family leader.
"Hahaha, Helix, you are very good at collecting information. Do you know that?" the family leader chuckled, expressing his approval.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir," Helix replied, a hint of pride in his voice.
"No, you deserve it," the family leader commended him.
"Thank you, sir," Helix responded, placing his right hand over his chest and bowing respectfully before the family leader.
"Okay, I want that kid as my son-in-law and Luna's husband," the family leader declared boldly.
A sudden hush fell over the room, everyone taken aback by the unexpected announcement.
"B-But sir, what about Kang?" Helix asked, his expression filled with tension.
"Oh yeah, that idiot is still here, huh? Just make him marry my other daughter, Kila," the family leader stated matter-of-factly.
"B-But, my husband, this is not fair. I've already promised the House of Justice's third son to marry Kil-" Seri interjected, unable to contain her objections.
"You got a problem with my decision, my dear wife?" the family leader responded, his voice low and menacing. He extended his long claws and bared his sharp canine teeth, an aura of death emanating from his body.
"No, no, no, I will do as my husband says and never argue with you. Please forgive me, my husband," Seri pleaded, her voice filled with fear, as she hastily left the room.
"Good. I don't like noise when I am giving out orders," the family leader stated, returning to his usual demeanor.
"Get me that kid first thing in the morning. We will finalize the engagement tomorrow."
"Sir, that kid is a commoner. How can we marry the Martial House's daughter to a commoner?" Helix questioned, his voice tinged with concern.
"Don't forget the family motto, Helix. What is it?" the family leader demanded.
"Y-Yes, sir. 'A strong person never differentiates. A strong person only rules the weak,'" Helix replied, reciting the motto with conviction.
"Good. Now, I need that kid in the morning, and Luna too. Explain everything to her because I don't like noise when I am giving out orders," the family leader instructed, rising from his chair and striding out of the room.
"Helix, I want you to bring that kid to me before my dear husband does," the black werewolf milf commanded.
"Yes, Mrs. Cassandra," Helix acknowledged, bowing once more before Cassandra.
"That kid is the right choice for my daughter. My dear husband is never wrong about his choices, but I still wish to meet him once before all this. Don't tell him who I am when you bring him to me. Do you understand?" Cassandra requested, her voice filled with a mix of anticipation and caution.
"Crystal clear, ma'am," Helix replied with certainty.
"Goodnight, Helix," Cassandra bid him farewell, leaving the room.
"You too, ma'am. Have a pleasant sleep," Helix responded, beginning to collect the empty tea glasses from the table in front of him.
The night was filled with intrigue and anticipation as the pieces of fate continued to fall into place.
