Chapter 40: Conflict

"I feel disrespected. How dare a young dog of the Hollow family steal my ability?" Felix Walken said as his eyes murderously stared daggers at Varth Hollow. If looks could kill then he would have already died a painful death multiple times.

"I have neither the time nor the time to answer a rude person like you who is arrogant but have no strength to back it up. If you feel bad about this, then come and bite me." Varth Hollow pointed the middle finger of his left hand at Felix. "Take this up your ass and shut up for all I care."

"You bastard!" Felix's eyes blazed in fire as rage swelled to his head from the depth of his heart. He said in an almost grunting voice, "In my entire life, no one has ever disrespected me. Since you dared to disgrace me then don't blame me for teaching you some manners in place of your parents."

As he was saying those words, Varth's was busy lazily cleaning his exposed ear with his pinky, his eyes looking everywhere else, but not at Felix. By the time he finished saying those words, Varth looked up at him and a teasing glint could be seen reflecting in his red eye.

"Nowadays, even dogs bark less than you. Let me ask, are you done barking? If so, take this up your ass, also," Varth said as he pointed the middle finger of his right hand at Felix.

"I'm gonna kill you!" Felix Walken roared angrily as he channeled magic power in his fire cells.

Whoosh!

He was propelled forward with an incredible speed as flames burst beneath his feet. His right hand instantly balled into a fist around which fiery hot currents swirled around. The blazing fist was aimed directly at him.

Varth Hollow stood still seemingly having no intentions of fighting back or evading his attacks. He internally thought that it is almost time for the examiner to interfere with the situation while looking at his third watch as Felix homed on to him like a homing bomb.

"How dare you act wantonly in the testing center!" Alex Hollow shouted with a belly full of anger.

Before Felix could even reach near him, a horrific burst of pressure made out of mana erupted out from Alex and crashed on top of him. He was immediately suppressed, flames vanishing from his hands as he crashed on the ground. He resisted the pressure to stand up but felt like there was a mountain on top of him, one he could never hope to uplift.

Using energy to pressure others like the most basic and offensive form of utilizing only energy like mana. It can only be used by combatants that have awakened to possess ability and energy channels. Then, opened all energy channels to create an energy circuit. To be able to use such an attack means that Alex has an energy circuit.

"What the hell?"

Felix's handsome face grimaced as he looked at the person who suppressed him. He had been treated with respect from everyone around him because he was the youngest prince of the great royal Walken family, and it was shocking, to say the least, to be treated with disrespect and indifference.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do have a problem with my attitude? Let me tell you this, this isn't your home where you can be disrespectful to others, this is the testing center of the Earth Federation military academy! You better follow the rules. Or else…" Alex looked down at him as he said those words, seemingly having no intentions of retrieving his attack of intangible form.

Felix was angered. A bitter taste filled his mouth, but he couldn't do anything. "Isn't it all because you're also a Hollow? That's why you are siding with that little bastard. It's clearing him who instigated all of this," he said while raising his head with all his willpower and strength to look at Alex.

Alex rolled his eyes, wondering why there are so many stupid peoples in the world who keeps on making assumptions without any sorts of proofs. It seems like the only reason for their existence is to be a disturbance and a pain in the ass for others. He wasn't a member of the Hollow great family yet everyone seems to take him as one as soon as they hear his full name.

So stupid!

As soon as Felix said those words, Varth hunched low and raised both of his hands at the same time, stretching open the middle finger of each hand and pointing them directly at the raging face of Felix.

"Take both of them up your ass," Varth said with a smug expression on his face. He simply was put of control and an expert at slapping others on the face. First off, he knew that the examiners will interfere as soon as things get physical. He wanted to simply teach a hard lesson to Felix as he found him too arrogant.

Naturally, the examiners knew about this and they didn't like the fact that they were used as tools by a young boy.

"You too. Stop trying to aggravate him," Kayle Walken said as her stern gaze landed on Varth.

Boom! The ground beneath Varth feet cracked as mana pressure swept in the surrounding.

The people stepped back from the center of the court unintentionally as fear overwhelmed them. Their face went pale with fright as sweat dripped from their head onto the ground.

"But-"

"I don't want to hear a single word from you," Alex said, a wave of pressure made out of mana released from his body and landed on Varth causing his knees to bend.

"Now, now. Don't be so harsh. Stop pressurizing them. They are just kids."

"Yes, senior!"

The examiners pulled back their mana pressures only after Theodore interfered.

"I apologize, sir." Felix apologized as he thought that it's never too late for a gentleman to take his revenge.

"I apologize." Varth apologized as he believed that it'll be bad for his future if he get on their bad sides.
