Chapter 40 Battle With Noah [Part 1]



It has been a few weeks, and all students have become familiar with how things work in the academy.

The classroom atmosphere in A class had also become harmonious as everyone got acquainted with each other. Except for one person.

This person was none other than Noah Crellon. He was the one who acted mysterious and arrogant. He detested these Demi-humans. He was from the Velart family.

He thought that these demi-humans were inferior creatures.

In fact, Goren tried to talk to him. Goren stretched out his hand, trying to shake his hands. When Noah saw his action, he told him, "Disgusting! Get out of my face." With a disgusted expression, he continued to tell him, "I do not want to touch the hand of an animal."

Goren was dumbfounded by what he said. He was also infuriated by it. The other five people who were currently in the room also frowned. Thinking that his words were too arrogant and immoderate.

Daphne could not help but laugh and say out loud that everyone could hear her say, "This guy has a superiority complex!" She laughed so hard that she had to wipe a tear that came out of the corner of her eyes.

Fiona spoke out also. "You! Don't go overboard!" she said, trying to defend the demi-humans. "They are also the same as us. What makes you think that they are more inferior than us."

"Us? Don't include me with you trashes." Noah scoffed and mocked her, saying, "Even if that brother Zenryx of yours comes. I will trample him under my feet."

When he said that, it made Daphne, Celestia, and Fiona's expressions immediately become ugly. Although Celestia did not have any feelings for Zen. She still had good impressions of him, and he was also the brother of her friend.

"What makes you think you could even beat him?! You are merely a Peak Intermediate, and Zen is already an Advanced level." Daphne said.

Noah refuted her. "What makes you think he is already in Advanced? He merely said that and did not show any proof." He said and pointed at her, "And why is an Intermidiate rank talking? You are garbage."

Daphne could not refute him and stayed silent for a moment.

Celestia wanted to tell him about Zen easily guiding her to breakthrough to respond to his word and prove that Zen was really capable, but Fiona suddenly stood up and said, "You! Shut up," she said angrily, "Fight me in the arena. I will beat you until you are almost dead."

"Sure, we can battle at the arena next month," Noah responded, feeling confident that he had already won. "Don't go crying to your family after I beat you."

They both agreed to fight in the arena next month.

Some students who were outside at that time heard the commotion. They heard about the battle that was going to happen next month.

Immediately, the news spread throughout the academy that Noah Velart and Fiona Duragny were going to fight each other.

After what happened, Fiona went to the library and read books to get rid of her anger and calm her mind.

Fiona and Celestia would often go to the library and study books. As for Daphne? Everyone already knows how she is. She simply stays in her room, fiddling with her phone.

The books they read were the Beast Records. They were going to the Twilight Zone soon. So they studied what the Twilight Zone was like.

This book was recorded by previous students who had gone to the Twilight Zone. Other than hunting and doing missions, students could also earn points by sharing informations. The points earned depend on how valuable the information they acquired was.

The library was large and spacious. It had three floors, and each floor had a different type of use.

The library is circular, with many books on the shelves. The first floor is filled with wooden bookcases that are lined up against the walls and in the center of the room.

There are several people scattered throughout the library who appear to be sitting or standing around in small groups or circles.

One group can be seen near the stairs leading down into another part of the building, while another group is gathered around a shelf full of books near one wall.

This place is just where individuals have come together for knowledge and learning purposes amidst rows upon rows of bookshelves containing countless pieces of information.

Fiona was among this group of individuals. She sat near a window at one end of the library.

Celestia stayed in the classroom to ask Daphne to come to the library with her, but she strongly refused, saying, "Nope, I don't want to do such boring stuff." She had tried to persuade her over and over, but to no avail, she could not change her mind.

Even when Noah criticized her strength, she still did not want to put effort into trying to increase her power. Celestia thought that she was a lost cause [Maybe Zen might be able to change her like how she changed Fiona].

Celestia sighed and just let her be. She went on her way to go to the library.

Fiona was currently sitting in the library, reading books about the Twilight Zone. She was so engrossed in reading that she did not even notice that Celestia had arrived and sat down in front of her.

Celestia spoke and greeted her, waking her up from her immersion reading.

Fiona came back to her awareness and greeted her back. "Hey!" She then asked, "So what about Daphne? Where is she?"

Celestia replied, "You know how she is. What do we do about her? She is a lost cause. Maybe if Zen was here, just maybe he would be able to pursue her."

"I don't know what is in that girl's mind at all either." She is a lost cause already. Unless a miracle happens in the future, that could encourage her. If not, then she would just continue to be lazy." Fiona stated.

"Where do you think Zen is right now, Fiona? Maybe Zen can help."

Actually, my mother has called me before and told me something."

"What did she tell you?"
