Being Unreasonable [C71]

Seeing the fight of Aura Azusa, Shu Himo felt his blood boil. How fun would it be to fight her?

With such thoughts in his mind, he quickly went to prepare himself, buying some needed items.

-----

In a corner of the stands, there is a group of people that can be seen still perfectly calm despite examining the fight of Aura Azusa.

"Do you think she will be a problem?"

"I don't think so, is still possible to stop that meteor, while I can't destroy it as the headmaster did, I can still defend myself from it. The problem is if she has a stronger attack, but I doubt it."

"I see."

The group of people comprehends of some people from the B class, who came early to see potential hard opponents and prepare a plan against them.

"Oh, right, what do you think about the kid, Shu Himo?"

"He will not be a problem, he did not seem too strong, the reason he overwhelmed that student is due to the other's weakness."

-----

The next day, the stadium is filled with a completely different aura. The aura emanated right now if compared to the one the day before is like if a lion is standing in front of a kitten, the difference from the C class and the D class is apparently greatly distinct.

In the stands, there are in the first rows students from the B class and a couple from the A class, while behind them there are the students of the D class who failed the day before, looking gloomy.

In the stadium, there are students of the C class, but they are barely 1500 students, so the stadium possesses a lot of free space.

Shu Himo, feeling the different aura let out a smile, maybe today it would be a bit more fun.

The headmaster is now standing on the same stage as yesterday, about to announce the start of the next tournament test.

"This time the tournament will be the same as yesterday, every student of the C class will fight in duels one versus one and who manage to win four times will proceed to the B class! A single loss makes you disqualified, but if the fight is considered of a high enough level, it will not be counted!"

The students are now all looking at the stages excited to fight, every last of them is aiming to reach the B class, and some of them even for the A class!

Seeing their expressions, the headmaster seemed happy, but he has to announce something that may destroy their mood, "Also, after the fight of yesterday, Aura Azusa got deemed strong enough to directly proceed to the B class, so she will not fight today!"

Hearing this phrase, every student became gloomy but thinking of the meteor she threw yesterday they felt to be lucky, if they ended up against her it would be a tragedy.

But there is one student that is not happy at all with this, Shu Himo.

'What!? Why can't I skip the fights to B class too? Did I not show off enough for it?'

[Why does the User care about it?]

'It's a matter of principle!'

Now emitting a lot of fighting intent, seemingly ready to destroy everything, Shu Himo suddenly became the center of the attention.

The headmaster is startled, what's wrong with you now?

Staring directly at the headmaster, Shu Himo said, "I want to skip the fights to B class too!"

[The User now sounds like a kid who did not obtain what he wanted.]

'I am a kid who did not obtain what I wanted!'

The headmaster hearing Shu Himo almost blacked out, are you jealous of Aura Azusa now?

The students have faces full of disbelief instead, and meanwhile, Aura Azusa is smiling curiously, what will happen?

Suddenly, Shu Himo leaped on top of one stage, looking at the headmaster, "For what reason did she gain the right to skip and I did not?"

Even if he felt stifled within, the headmaster still replied, "The magic spell she used could have destroyed the stadium, so after a reunion, we decided to let her pass this round of examination, as it would be pointless."

Hearing the headmaster, Shu Himo fell in thought for a moment, and then nodded, expressing his understanding.

"Perfect, since you now know the reason let's continue normally the test." Seeing that he managed to convince Shu Himo, the headmaster felt happy, at least until he heard the next phrase.

With a look that could not appear more serious, Shu Himo directly looked toward the eyes of the headmaster, "So I just need to destroy the stadium to pass?"

The headmaster: "..."

The students: "..."

The system: [...]

Only managing to catch up with what Shu Himo said after a couple seconds, the headmaster hurriedly said, "No! If you want to skip the fights prove yourself in another way!"

"Headmaster, now you are being unreasonable, you just said that Aura Azusa passed because she almost destroyed the stadium..." With an expression filled with disbelief, Shu Himo looked at the headmaster as if he were the biggest liar in the world.

Witnessing that expression, the headmaster then felt to be wronged: it's you who is weird! How could I have thought that you would suddenly proclaim to destroy the stadium!

"Absolutely not! Find another way to prove your strength!"

Knowing that destroying the stadium will not work, Shu Himo had to find another way, "I see... I guess there is no other choice..." Abruptly turning backward, looking toward the students, he smiled and said, "Very well, let's settle this quickly; I will take on fifty of you all at once."
