A pin-drop silence fell over the space. Nobody dared to breathe or even utter a single word upon hearing Klaus's bold and chilling challenge.
Deathmatches were not something one could easily opt for. In fact, the academy frowned upon them despite making them a part of its structure.
Deathmatches were meant to be a last resort when none of the usual reconciliations worked during a disagreement between two individuals.
They were used to determine who got to live and who died. Because of this, the academy only allowed them as a final measure.
So, everyone was taken aback when Klaus switched from a friendly duel to a death match.
"Hahaha! You're digging your own grave, bastard. Do you think we're weak like those idiots?" Sofia laughed upon hearing Klaus's challenge.
In fact, the others beside her all wore mocking smiles on their lips, Hunter and Kate included. They treated Klaus's challenge as an opportunity to win and kill him.
