Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: The mask of defeat

Kaito Yamato trudged through the Academy of Fade's corridors, his footsteps echoing off polished marble. Students bustled past, exchanging whispers and wary glances. His notorious losing streak had become a cautionary tale.

As he entered his dormitory, Kaito flopped onto his bed, letting out a deep sigh. Roommate: Jerald harzen squadmate of kaito although he was the only one who knew kaito secret.

"I see, so did you lose again?" Jerald asked.

"Yeah, it was fun actually" i meant this, I don't really get what is the purpose of being strong.

"You know kaito, the duel between the four continents?, that tournament will lead the academy fade to raise again with it's bottom neck, our academy got stuck in 206 ranking for the most powerful academy. The thing is if we manage to win in the duel system it just means that we could have been a hope for the academy fade. that's why they're taking it do serious" he replied gasping for air, this dude really don't take a sht with me.

Well i guess Axel and his squad can carry the academy fade. Hah! What's so special about the ranking anyway...

"Uhm anyways are you going to compete for the Academy tournament?" I asked him, but i already know his answer. He will always take the opportunity...

Academy tournament is just for the academy fade let's say all of the students will compete to be the no.1 in the academy fade and that person who can achieve the no.1 in this academy will be chosen to fight in the tournament of regions.

"Of course brother kai, this opportunity will be wasted so I'll make the most of it" he replied, oh god his eye's are sparkling.

"I see, then Goodluck for you bro Je" i replied.

"How about you brother kai?, it will be fine if we go in the academy tournament right? I heard they will reward the no.1 to no.10 player's a life saving food and they will also provide you a special room!' he said in excitement, but for me i don't have any interest in that kind of rewards.

"Nah I'm not really interested hahaha" i said while laughing.

While chatting more with bro Je, someone is calling me.

Ehehehe Finally! My gf calls me, she usual just knock in our dormitory but i guess she's just a bit tired.

"What's up Lyra? Do you want to ask me for a date or what? Just kiddin-" while saying something, Lyra didn't let me finish and said.

"S-sorry but can we please stop this relationship" Ha..ha..ha i think she was pranking me again.

"Nope i won't let you go, i know this is just a pran-" i heard a familiar voice...

"Yo sorry brother kai but it seems your gf wants to break up with you, also don't talk to her ever again! Hahaha!" This voice it was from axel, i see i see.

Lyra doesn't notice but I've seen her lately staring at Axel, i didn't pay attention to it cuz i guess she was just amazed by his power.

"Well, then i guess it's fine!" Beep, i hung up.

I can't help but wondered why and when did i becomes Lyra's boyfriend, but it's no big deal anymore.

Jerald was the closest to kaito he knows how kai feels although kai doesn't seem to react and didn't pay any attention to it, but Jerald knows that he was hurt for being dump by his girlfriend and now... Deep in kai hearts is to sleep eh?

This sht is just going to sleep! Where is the drama! I'm ready to laugh here and yet this fellow of mine is kinda rock hearted

Kai was a carefree person, he do whatever he wants to do, but one thing is for sure if he gets serious nothing can stop him...

Next day:

Uh sht i sleep like a log, but today i will be fighting a little. Bro je is already in the classes, that bitch don't know how to wake up his best friend!.

I've just arrived in our room and sat in the side of bro Je, and our professor was also arrived just in time as him, maybe a little late than kaito.

"Professor Laura you're very beautiful to day!" Said by cliff he confessed to laura a hundred times but he always got rejected every day he got always rejected.

"Really?, then thank you cliff. Everyone we sit down" Laura said.

The whole room was so excited to see professor Laura and she was a unique one...

Laura was the very first 18 year's old to teach in academy fade, she was also known for her analysis and theories about the Aethonics. And she was also popular because of her 34D chest! Her height is 149cm the ideal Girlfriend of every males in the Academy Fade her body and face, personality is 10/10!, the one and only goddess! Laura!.

Hours passed by, their school ended and kaito was excited to fight!

I want to sleep tonight... But i guess i will fight to the QC before sleeping.

King mighty entered.

As kaito appeared in the QC everyone starting to laugh while looking at King mighty.

"Haven't you lost to over 1,000 players already?, you're having the most longest lossing streak in the entire world!" "And the shocking part is he doesn't have any win at all!! How ridiculous!".

I will change that... TONIGHT.

I queue up anyway...

"Ha this is going to be the 1,001 loses for king's might" this guy is so confident that I'm going to lose?

King mighty opponent has appeared now, his name is kinshi, kinshi acc has no matches this is the first fight for kinshi.

The jungle became Kinshi's hunting ground. King Mighty's survival depended on lightning-fast reflexes against the phantom sniper.

King mighty: Katana

Kinshi:super sniper

"This is disadvantages for king mighty since in the QC the 2 player will respawn randomly location which gave kinshi to hide and prepare his sniper" someone said

"Yeah and not to mention but this king mighty has a 1,000 losses which is I'm sure kinshi will win" these guy's are making me to laugh.

The battle begins!

Kinshi reappeared on the second floor, his body merging seamlessly with the surroundings. Earth magic infused his form, rendering him nearly invisible.

And Kaito reappeared, exposed, in the jungle's center.

Kinshi pulled the trigger without hesitation. King Mighty, caught off guard, couldn't evade the bullet's deadly trajectory.

King Mighty stood still, eyes serenely closed, as Kinshi's bullet hurtled toward him.

"Great tactic, King Mighty. Close your eyes and hope the bullet misses."

Time seemed to slow as King Mighty's eyes locked onto the bullet. His finger danced, unleashing a shimmering blade that shattered the projectile with a resounding 'ting!'

"King Mighty, you're insane! Cutting a sniper bullet?!"

The sniper Kinshi utilized was no ordinary firearm; it's power was magnified a thousandfold

Kinshi swiftly repositioned himself, closing the distance. King Mighty's luck might have saved him once, but the second bullet would undoubtedly prove fatal.

With a swift flick of Kinshi's finger, a second bullet hurtled toward King Mighty. Simultaneously, Kinshi charged forward, employing earth magic to immobilize his opponent. If King Mighty somehow dodged the bullet, Kinshi's barehanded fatal blow would seal his fate.

Kinshi's attack left King Mighty with no hope.

King Mighty's eyes closed once more, and he seemed utterly still, offering no resistance to the oncoming bullet.

As King Mighty's eyes snapped open, his katana flashed back into its scabbard. He gazed downward, witnessing the gruesome aftermath: Kinshi's severed head rolling to his feet.

King mighty win!!

When his eyes snap open, it signifies that his aura has detected something. With his eyes closed, Kaito concentrates to extend his aura, allowing him to sense magical energies or potential threats within a 12-centimeter radius. This sixth sense serves as an early warning system, relying on his speed and reaction time to respond.

Everyone in the low-rank division watched in stunned silence as the bullet seemingly passed through Kaito, only to be met with a split-second eruption of blood, engulfing the entire map.

"King Mighty, you must be cheating! Let me test your skills to uncover the truth, don't you dare run a way to me!" Vastaron declared.

"HA HA HA HA HA RUN?" i gaze at Vastaron with a cold icy face. "You yourself isn't enough, bring all your squadron and i will slaughter all of you one by one"...

Vataron can't help but swallow a saliva.
