31 Beauty into Beas

Arnin walked out of the forest with a darkened expression. His aura was still lingering around him, which caused the leader, and even Vilis, to tremble in slight fear. The aura was just too frightening.

"U-umm, I helped you find the place, e-even though s-senior didn't let you through, I c-completed my job. C-can I g-go now?" The leader was trembling slightly. He never imagined that this kid would be so scary that he would even frighten his own beast.

Arnin turned his head and looked at the leader coldly. This caused the leader to look down slightly, unable to even meet his cold eyes.

"You aren't done yet. Since I have lost my housing, how do I obtain another one? Do I have to go back and try to apply for a new one?" Arnin glared at the leader with anger. He needed to direct his anger onto someone, and this leader was the perfect person.

"Y-you don't apply for a new home. S-since you lost yours, you can t-try to take someone else's. H-however, you have to initiate a proper duel." The leader spoke hesitantly, but told Arnin the details. He told him out of fear, but was hoping that Arnin would try not to duel him directly. "A-also, the duels are fought o-one on one, so your beast is not a-allowed to participate." The leader told him the most important rule. If group fights were allowed, then people could create their own groups and take over a district forcefully.

Arnin nodded his head and coldly looked towards the different houses. He needed to quickly increase his own cultivation without bringing more attention towards himself. So, any large houses were now out of the picture, he needed to go and take over places that had only Orb Birth cultivators.

"Alright then. Help me search for a home. I need a place that isn't too large but also not too small. It has to be in a more quieter area with cultivators only in the Orb Birth realm." Without waiting for the other's approval, Arnin began to walk. The leader looked at Arnin with reluctance and fear.

'What did I do to you? I only asked for the key. Why are you torturing me like this? Can't we just part ways?' The leader couldn't help but cry to himself.

They got back to the area where lots of houses were present, both big and small.People were shocked when they saw Arnin once again, plus they also saw the leader in the beast's mouth, so they couldn't help but continue staring.

"Didn't that kid go to the deeper areas? Why is he back now?" A teen asked with confusion.

"He probably got kicked out of the place. That's what he gets for being so arrogant and getting in over his head." Another person mocked from the sides. However, seeing that the leader was in the beast's mouth, they didn't try to approach.

The leader stared at the people with anger. 'Are you guys trying to get yourselves killed? If he is able to hold me like this, wouldn't he be able to do the same to you?' The leader couldn't help but sweat because of their stupidity. Although some of the people mocking Arnin were in Essence Manifest, the rest were still sitting around the Orb Birth realm. He, as an Essence Manifest - Sky cultivator, wasn't able to face the beast, so what gave them the guts to try and mock him?

"Since we are now well acquainted, what is your name?" As they walked, Arnin turned his head and questioned the leader with glare.

'Well acquainted? What the heck does that mean? Plus, why the heck are you glaring at me?' The leader couldn't help but feel as though he was being treated like a slave.

"M-my name is Revi. What about you?" Since he was being asked for his name, he wanted to also know the name of his warden.

Arnin didn't answer his question and only turned his head. This caused Revi to scoff with annoyance.

'What the heck is with his attitude? I am asking for his name, not his life.'

"Now tell me, which location should I start looking from?" Arnin spoke without turning his head towards Revi.

"Yea, the lodging area that you want should be this area, however I don't know which home you would want." Although he didn't like Arnin's attitude, since he was under the other party's mercy, he could only answer Arnin's question.

"If it is here, then I will just have to find the place myself. You are free to go now." Arnin nodded his head and waved his hand towards Vilis, who let Revi go.

The leader felt as though he had been freed from hell itself and couldn't help but scream towards the sky with happiness. Just as he was about to turn around and run away, he found that Arnin had already begun to walk towards a house. It wasn't a large one, rather it was smaller than the ones in the area. It was quietly placed in the corner, making it a little harder to see than most of the other places. Revi was bewildered towards his actions as he assumed that Arnin would go and try to get a house on a larger scale, but that's not what happened.

'What is he up to? Maybe I will watch him from a distance.' With that decided, Revi moved further back and observed.

Arnin slowly walked up to the silent house and knocked on the front door. The house was simple from the outside and had stone brick walls with a timber roof. Since the place was quiet, Arnin found that this would a suitable place to stay before he got his revenge on the senior student. He didn't care what the senior was called, all that mattered was what level of cultivation he was at.

A few minutes later, the stone door swung open and a young girl walked out. She had short orange hair which was tied into a ponytail. Her eyes were a bright sapphire and were filled with iciness. When she stepped out, her eyes examined the surroundings, and then she looked down to see Arnin. Her age seemed to be fifteen or so, and she was much taller than Arnin.

"What do you need?" The girl glared at Arnin with her ice cold eyes. There was no hint of warmth within, even though Arnin was only five.

"I need you to step out of the house and find a new place to live." Arnin smiled towards the girl before walking passed her and into the house. He pushed her aside and began to inspect the interior. "Not a bad place." He smiled once more before glaring at the girl.

She looked at him with a frown. 'How dare he just walk in to my home? Does he have a death wish?' The girl thought that Arnin might have some mental problems, which was why he was doing what he was.

"Why did you enter my house without my permission? Get out now!" The girl looked at Arnin menacingly, however the only reply she got was a mocking smirk.

"Your house? It's mine now. If you want it, then come bite me." Arnin waved his hand towards her. Suddenly, right when she was about to berate him even more, Vilis walked past her as well, entering the house. As the beast walked, he made a growling sound towards her, threatening her to move aside. She reluctantly stepped out and her face became bright red. Never had she felt such humiliation.

"Do you dare duel with me?" The girl noticed that she was no match for the beast so she could only threaten Arnin.

"You want to duel? Do you have the capability?" Arnin had already fought with two people who were at Orb Birth - Heaven. Although she was also at this realm, this didn't matter much to him. All of them were the same to him.

'What is this boy saying? He is only at Orb Birth - Sky, does he really think he could match me?' She had a perplexed look when she heard his words. However, she still felt that Arnin was boasting with nothing to back him up.

"Whether I have it or not, come and see." She didn't back down and only looked at Arnin with hatred. Although Arnin was only a child, she could care less about that. Anyone that stepped on her dignity, she would teach them a lesson.

"You asked for it. I am in a bad mood, so prepare to get some serious injuries." Arnin began to walk towards the girl with his aura slowly being released.

From afar, Revi began to sweat because of Arnin's boldness. Not only did he walk into the house without the other's permission, he also had her initiate the duel. This was too great of a move.

'Kid, you are really something.' Although he hated Arnin for how he treated him, he still felt that Arnin had some capabilities, especially because of the aura that he released previously.

Suddenly, he felt the same aura that he felt before. It was sinister and also demonic. He began to get the chills and his hairs stood upright. His body trembled slightly before he saw Arnin walk out of the house with a black hue surrounding him.

'This kid is releasing that aura again. That girl is in trouble now. Even I can't think properly under his pressure.' Revi couldn't help but feel scared, so he took a step back.

The girl widened her eyes as she felt the pressure of Arnin's aura. She couldn't help but also take a step back as she slightly quivered.

'What is wrong with this kid? This aura is just too… evil.' She noticed that she herself was moving back, which shocked her. The girl strengthened her resolve and faced Arnin, however some fear was hidden in her eyes.

"Do you still wish to continue?" Arnin asked the girl. Although he was in a bad mood, he still didn't want to expose himself too much. He needed to lay low before getting rid of the senior.

"Of course. You are the one who took my lodge. I won't take this lying down." Suddenly, the girl released her strong aura. It was Orb Birth - Heaven realm, however it didn't hinder Arnin in any way.

"Well since you are so adamant about this, let's begin." Arnin finally stepped outside the house, and then he vanished. The girl looked around and couldn't find Arnin. She began to slightly panic, however she felt something behind her. Turning around, a fist flew towards her face. Quickly, she lifted her arms and blocked it, however she was still pushed back a couple of steps. She felt a tingling pain on her arms so she looked down, only to find that her forearm was slightly bruised. She was astonished that someone who was two small realms lower than her was able to injure her so quickly.

Revi watched and also felt astonished. 'That kid is so fast. Even I couldn't see his movements.'

Arnin was somewhat surprised that the girl was able to block his move. Brajus wasn't even able to react to him, which clearly showed the difference between a Butterfly student and a Moth student.

"Impressive. You are stronger than I thought, but that still isn't enough to win against me." Arnin smiled and released an even stronger aura. He vanished once more and appeared on the girl's left. She wasn't able to react to his increase in speed and was directly hit on her cheek. A stinging pain appeared and she was off balance. Arnin took the opportunity to get under her and trip her onto the ground.

'What a shameless kid. He even tripped her right after punching her in the face? What happen to children learning to respect women?' Revi couldn't help but feel flabbergasted because of Arnin's actions.

Revi was a self-proclaimed lady's man that always tried to impress women. He felt that women should be put on a pedestal and respected greatly, so what Arnin did really bugged him.

The girl fell onto the ground with a thump. She felt that Arnin would at least let her get up, since this was supposed to be a respectful duel, however Arnin continued his assault.

He lifted one of his legs and kicked the girl's abdomen. She spat out a mouthful of blood before hitting the wall of the house. She hatefully looked at Arnin who approached her once more. His small hands grabbed her hair and lifted her off the ground.

"Do you still want to continue with this duel? You have the option of forfeiting now, or letting me beat you until you can't fight any more." Arnin threatened the girl with a wicked smile. He didn't care whether the person was a girl or a boy, if they got in his way, then they would be beaten black and blue.

The girl looked at Arnin with some fear, however she didn't back down.

"If that's what you want, then blame only yourself." Arnin lifted his hand and hit her in the face, however he didn't let go of her hair. He continued to beat her until she looked less like a beauty and more like a beast. Finally, the girl fainted and fell onto the ground. Although he didn't fully release his anger, he felt that more would kill the girl.

He dropped the girl and patted his hands. There was some blood on his knuckles and slight bruising,however it didn't bug him too much. He walked towards the house and before entering, looked towards Revi who was standing in the distance.

"Take her away from here. I don't want garbage lying around my house." With that Arnin walked in and shut the door.

The crowd began to whisper amongst themselves about how ruthless Arnin was. Revi felt his face go white like a sheet of paper when his name was called out.

'That kid! Why the heck is he calling me over? See if I listen to his commands. He isn't my boss.' Revi was about to turn around and leave, however he stopped. He had this feeling that Arnin was watching his back and his every move. He hesitated before turning around and walking towards the girl. He noticed her appearance and found that her cheeks were swollen and blood was leaking out of her forehead and mouth.

'That kid is truly a beast. Why the heck did the academy teachers let him in? Plus, he has his eyes on me now. What did I do in my past life to deserve something like this?' He cried inside before lifting the beaten beauty. He slowly walked away from the house, not turning his head in fear of being seen by Arnin.
