My hardest challenge Yet.

[Match 4 - Noelle William Vs Ron Kayler]

[Winner - Noelle William]

"Haa, at full power, there's no way i can beat you."

Us it just me, or did I trace a hint of killing intent from her.

"Well that's what you get for fighting against me."

"You, weren't trying to kill me now were you?"

"What do you mean?"

She said while shamelessly averting her gaze from me.

You were, weren't you? Is that the side effect of a side character trying to act like a main one?

I might just get expelled at this rate. Shit this is bad. Real bad.

[Match 5 - Villar Sen Lava Vs Clae Von Leox]

...

[Winner - Villar Sen Lava]

Haa? The hell? How, how did that guy win? This doesn't sound good, this doesn't look good.

How, how, how, how, how did this guy...

How did this guy win? Leox should have won.

As I looked at leox I noticed him smirking at me, so that's what this is about?

He wants me expelled, I went easy on the guy because I wanted Noelle to win but now that he lost against Viller, the entire tide changes.

After seeing what I'm capable of, he's trying to get me into the Elimination round which is based on pure luck.

If you get matched by the top 2, you are likely dead and buried at that point. This won't be easy anymore.

"Don't worry, I'll win against the both of them. That way you'll qualify."

Noelle said from Behind me

"You know that'd be more convincing"

while giggling to herself looking at me suffer.

"If you weren't laughing at my current predicament."

"Hehe hehe.. ahm ahm, don't worry. After you helped me out just before I wouldn't abandon you like that pfft..."

Damn it, is she being honest or is she just making fun of me?

He also got a lot of hits on Leox, meaning he's at a higher rate of huts than me.

Meaning if we both win 1 Match each, than he'll be declared the automatic Winner.

[Match 6 - Miller Gobina Vs Noelle William]

...

[Winner - Noelle William]

...

*Sigh* as I saw Noelle Winking at me and giving me a thumbs-up, i felt relieved.

I was scared she'd betray me but guess we are in a better relationship than id thought.

...

[Match 7 - Ron Kayler Vs Villar Sen Lava]

...

[Winner - Ron Kayler]

...

I feel like I've exhausted my Mental energy quite a bit, with that I have 1 win.

1 more Match to go.

...

[Match 8 - Clae Von Leox Vs Miller Gobina]

...

[Winner - Miller Gobina]

...

So as expected Miller Gobina won the match, So with Noelle winning against Viller and Me winning against Gobina I'll be able to finish at no 3.

...

[Match 9 - Noelle William Vs Villar Sen Lava]

...

[Winner - Noelle William]

...

"Well it's all up to you now, if you win this one, you'll be able to stay with me in the Academy. If you don't I guess it's goodbye."

She said. Will I make it if I end up in the Elimination round? Will my Luck survive there?

I'm not sure.

Can I win against against Miller?

I'm not sure, if I use the ultimate Combo, I'll probably win.

But, that'd mean i'd probably kill her by accident. Which I want to avoid.

First of all, I don't like killing innocent people and second of all, if I did kill her i'd probably be expelled.

What do I do?

I have to think of a plan

"Hey"

What can I do, can I win? Is it possible?

"Hey!!!"

She shook my shoulders aggressively which made me snap out of it.

"You can do it, you are pretty strong. If you were able to hold your own against someone as amazing as me than you'd definately be able to win against her."

"You know, your arrogance pisses me off."

She seems to be taken aback by my words.

"But thanks."

"No problem."

She said with a bright smile. Damn, she's one friendly chicken isn't she. But, thanks to her I managed to calm down.

So, the objective isn't to win it. I have to hold out until the time limit of 30 Minutes and if I can that it'll be a draw.

That way well each get a point and I'll have an extra point and will automatically be above him who has 1 point below me.

Since a win gets you 2 points, a loss 0 and a draw 1. I should be able to have The upper hand and move to the next round.

But, it's impossible to survive 30 Minutes against an assassin type. She is after all an assassin.

She is incredibly agile, she has strong, swift movements. She is an obvious assassin so dodging her swift attacks won't be easy.

Than there are her poison daggers which seem to be carrying certain Curse Effects that make me weak apon contact.

So I have to absolutely avoid daggers, if not I'll die.

What a real hassle, if it weren't for that bastard's interference I wouldn't have had a problem.

So the Buzzer rang and the match 10 fixture was shown on the screen

[Match 10 - Ron Kayler Vs Miller Gobina]

And so after our names were called, we walked towards the podium with brazen footsteps.

My body was trembling with fatigue, I was at the end of the road and I had the worst Match up yet.

A swordsman class Vs An assassin class, on top of that I'm fatigued.

She's at 2nd while I'm at 5th right now. She has 2 wins under her belt and is at 2nd position while Clae is at 3rd with 2 wins but lower attack.

Noelle is at 1 with 3 wins, and Viller is at 4 with 1 win and higher attack and I was at 5 with 1 win.

I was in a real problem, trying to protect this cheeky girl that's been making fun of me I goy into such a situation.

"Good Luck."

She shouted while waving at me, and I thought.

She's too fkin friendly isn't she? But, being cheered on. Wasn't half bad.

And so me and Miller stood at the arena and took pur stance.

And so the refree Announced

"Begin"

...

***END OF CHAPTER 12***
