There were numerous individuals watching what was happening. All of them were students, and none of them were weak. Yet this matter did not involve them and they were too lazy to investigate.
Xavier, John, Roselyn, and Thelma walked out from an elegant room and sauntered on to the platform. From afar, they could already see the killing intent from Tron soaring into the clouds. His ferocious gaze affixed onto them.
"What's there to be scared of? There are four of us, and the academy prevents students from killing each other. If they do, they will be kicked out and even punished with death. What can he do to us?" Xavier gave a cold smile, as though he did not care. He swaggered as he walked over towards Tron.
"I heard his name is Tron and he is a servant who just passed the academy qualification trials. If you look at him, you can see that he holds the Space Render blade in his hand. I just can't fathom what he has against Xavier and his three friends."
"Xavier's younger brother is a talented Magus. Along with his brother's meteoric rise, he has also risen along with the waves. In fact, I heard he's offended numerous individuals recently."
With Xavier's character, there were few who were willing to associate themselves with him.
Tron did not hear what the people around him were discussing. When he saw Xavier and his three cronies, he only had one thought in his heart.
"KILL!"
Xavier was the main instigator, while his three cronies were accomplices
Thud, thud!
Tron grabbed the Space Render blade from bgehind him. Under the illuminating rays of the hot sun, the glare reflected off the Space Render blade made it seem even more blood-chilling. The numerous runes engraved upon the blade seemed to have come to life, roaring from within the blood, seeming to thirst for blood.
Tron did not say any more and slowly walked towards Xavier. Each step was filled with strength, and his eyes were blazing gold as he knocked into Xavier.
"I was wondering who this was. It looks like it was just a mere slave. I heard that you had managed to enter the academy today. Why did you not go back to celebrate and parade around your slave manor? Instead, you chose to come and find me."
John, who was by his side, laughed. "Perhaps his lover who is old enough to be his great grand mother has died? Of course, with her age, she would have died sooner or later. After living for such a long time and she must truly be wasting the food of the Darkbane Academy."
Listening to their mockery, the two ladies couldn't help but to laugh and playfully chide them. That sexy body wreathed in elegant wizard robes had attracted the attention of numerous individuals.
Xavier's face turned overcast as he replied, "Truthfully speaking, Tron, I was the one who killed that old wretch. I didn't like the way she looked. How could an old lady like that have a face and body of a young woman. She's obviously a witch. What are you going to do? Do you dare to challenge me in a battle of life and death? Can you tolerate this? Do you have the balls to do so?"
He felt secure in the knowledge that he had backing!
There were four of them, and this was the Darkbane Academy. Furthermore, they were standing right in the open on Astra Arena. There were even over 20 students watching them, and even more were gradually approaching.
Xavier's younger brother, Valtor, was 14 years old and already a Rank 2 Magus! There was no one on the entire Astra Arena that would dare offend Xavier.
Otherwise, with how proud John and his two friends were, how would they stay by his side and treat him as their leader?
"Haha..."
Everyone around started to laugh. Such a sight was quite normal. It was not a big matter. It was already not an easy matter to join the academy, and who would dare to break the academy's rules and kill someone?
"To provoke Xavier... He had just joined the academy too, that is just too pitiful."
"Xavier has that younger brother, which prevents others from daring to do anything to him."
"He dared to come alone to challenge him. This Tron has a head but has no brains."
The students in the academy began to laugh. Xavier laughed even louder as he wrapped his hand around Roselyn's waist in an unrestrained fashion as he stared at Tron.
Whoosh!
Tron speed increased even further and his killing intent became overwhelming.
Xavier's face contorted in rage as he let go of Roselyn.
"Don't move, any of you! Let me handle this!"
His fingers danced in intricate patterns, weaving as he performed numerous hand signs. The air around him chilled and the atmosphere dropped by several degrees. A magical circle materialized before him, pulsing with icy energy.
Runes etched into the ring lit up, filling gaps in the spell circle and augmenting the destructive power of his family's Eternal Frost Killing Shard spell.
The atmosphere plummeted, and the air seemed to solidify, freezing in place.
The air froze over and the gases present in the atmosphere changed state from gas to solid state. A gleaming ice shard coalesced in mid-air, hurtling towards Tron like an artillery shell!
"Insignificant slave, die!" Xavier's pride and confidence surged. This spell had been developed by his family, through his father and his father's father.
The ground cracked as Tron exploded forth with intense speed. His body blazing like a crimson meteor as he closed the distance between them. His hands gripped the Space Render blade tightly as he slashed outward. The blade sliced through the air, leaving a trail of distorted space in its wake. The force of the blow was like a descending axe, shattering the ice blade.
The clash of magic and steel exploded in a shower of sparks, the sound of the impact echoing through the air.
"BANG!" "Slash!" "Argh!"
