Chapter 70 Is Kevin A Simp?

After my conversation with Ivica, I proceeded to the training ground which was assigned to our advisor Bianca, as the first period today is a training session with her.

Meanwhile, Irethiel took off to somewhere because she didn't want anyone else to know about her.

I'm not sure if she was thoughtful, but I agree with her because I, too, don't want anyone to know that I have a demon as a slave.

Because if someone discovers she is a demon, it will be problematic for me.

As I was pondering, I soon arrived at the training ground and was greeted by two students, of course, they were Ziona and Kevin.

"Ares, you've returned? I had heard of our masters' battle," Ziona remarked worriedly as she ran up to me.

"How is she doing, and how are her injuries healing?" Ziona continued to ask questions.

"Yeah, her injuries aren't serious, so don't worry about it; she just needs some rest before she can be back to her normal self," I replied.

As Aegis had told me not to discuss Mika's unconscious state, I simply assured Ziona with little information.

"Thank goodness," Ziona exclaimed, relieved.

I simply smiled at her reaction before turning to face Kevin, whose face appears contorted as he watches me and Ziona converse.

We heard footsteps from the training grounds entrance as I was smirking and staring at Kevin's contorted expression.

As we focused our attention on it, we noticed Bianca enter the training grounds.

She appeared tired, and I believe she had been training up until this point.

Because Bianca never skips a training session, and having lost to Mika multiple times, she has made it her goal to defeat her.

I'm not sure what she thinks now that the person she always wanted to defeat has been bested by someone else.

Will she abandon her goal of defeating Mika and aim for Tania now?

"Hello, let's begin with our regular training practice, Oh, you've returned as well, Ares? I'd heard about Mika and Tania's battle," Bianca stated and her eyes started beaming.

"Well, it's quite unfortunate that she was defeated by Tania even before I could defeat her first, but we can't do anything about that now, can we? but nothing has changed, as I will now just have to defeat both of them," Bianca declared confidently.

"...."

'Her mindset isn't bad, and I'd applaud her for her determination... if only I didn't know what would happen to her in the future,' I thought to myself.

"I wish you the best," I said, smiling.

"All right, let's get started with our training, shall we?" Bianca spoke after firmly nodding.

We swiftly put on our protective gear and arrived at the center of the arena, and the training appears to be the same as it had been in our previous class, except that Bianca would also be attacking us this time, of course, she wouldn't be using her sword.

Kevin and Ziona took their positions and awaited Bianca's start signal.

'They started working together, huh?' I thought to myself as I saw them.

As soon as Bianca motioned us to begin, Kevin and Ziona both rushed toward her from opposing directions.

'Did they forget about me?' I thought to myself, with an awkward smile as they didn't let me in on their plan and directly rushed toward Bianca.

But I came to a halt in my thoughts when I saw Kevin and Ziona sent flying in opposite directions.

"...."

"...Perhaps they don't have a plan," I muttered.

My thoughts were interrupted as Bianca suddenly appeared in front of me and punched me.

I reacted by blocking her attack with my sword, but I was pushed back due to her strength.

Bianca did not stop there, and she continued her assault.

I kept blocking her attacks while being pushed back by her strength,

"Ahk"

While I was struggling, Ziona emerged behind Bianca and struck her in midair with her sword.

As Ziona's attack was about to strike Bianca, she simply tilted her body sideways and dodged the attack in an instant.

Kevin appeared and struck at Bianca as she was about to attack Ziona, but Bianca easily avoided his attack as well by simply tilting her body.

I then thrust my sword toward her as I noticed her occupied with Ziona and Kevin.

But I was taken aback when she easily stopped my attack by holding my sword between her two fingers like it were a cigarette.

It was like something out of an anime.

"...."

She had a big smile on her face, and as her attention was still on me, she punched Ziona with her left hand as she approached.

And Ziona was sent flying once more, but this time she was thrown outside the arena, and I doubt she'll be able to continue her training after that attack.

Kevin covered his sword in the aura after watching Ziona sent flying and attacked Bianca while jumping and gripping his sword with both hands while shouting.

Hahhhhh—

Seeing this as an opportunity, I used my static electricity skill to encircle my sword in electricity.

Bianca deftly sidestepped Kevin's attack and focused on my sword, which was now engulfed in electricity.

She then released grip of my sword and launched a punch in my direction.

"SWAP," I muttered.

My location was switched with Kevin's in an instant, and Bianca's punch connected Kevin's face.

Kevin was also thrown flying outside the arena, with no idea what had transpired.

<strong>"Fell Crescent,"</strong> I muttered, and a massive crescent of blue electricity was sent toward Bianca, who was already standing close to me.

"Huh?"

It caught Bianca off guard, and my attack hit her.

Boom!—

Only smoke could be seen as a result of my attack, but soon I quickly heard Bianca's voice through the smoke.

"Interesting," she commented.

As the smoke cleared, I saw Bianca with her sword unsheathed.

"You've improved a lot in just a few days, huh, and you've got quite an annoying skill as well," Bianca said with a big smile.

She then wrapped her sword in blue fire and said.

"Why don't we put your Electric Aura to the test?"

"...."

"Oh, sh-"

Bianca struck her sword, which was now covered in her blue fire, toward me before I could finish my sentence.

I reflected it with my sword, which was surrounded by my electric aura.

Boom!—

As our swords collided, I heard a great booming sound and was blinded by a dazzling white light.

***

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a white ceiling and what seemed to be an infirmary.

"...."

"What the Fuck?" I mumbled in confusion, then I suddenly heard a giggling sound coming from beside me.

As I turned my gaze toward it, I noticed Ziona, who was sitting on the bed next to mine, laughing while gazing at someone.

As I turned my gaze to the person she was laughing at, I noticed it was none other than...Kevin.

His entire face was swelled as a result of Bianca's blow properly connecting on his face.

"...."

"Pftt," I suppressed my laughter upon seeing him.

"You got him good," Irethiel remarked, giggling.

"Oh, Ares, you're awake?"

Ziona said after finally stopping her laugh, while wiping her moist eyes due to laughter.

"You went unconscious after that last clash with Bianca," Ziona explained.

"...How long was I unconscious," I inquired.

"Oh, you've been unconscious for 30 minutes," Ziona mentioned.

"You decided to send some students to the infirmary in the morning and ended up in the infirmary instead," Irethiel remarked sarcastically and burst out laughing.

"...."

I'm at a loss for words after hearing her because what she said is true.

It happens to me all the time: when I underestimate someone, I would get thrashed by someone else.

Lesson learned: I shouldn't look down on other people.

As I was reflecting, I sensed Kevin glaring at me with hatred.

"Sorry dude, but don't you think it was all worth it? Bianca had to draw her sword to deflect my attack, didn't she?" I said, innocently.

"...."

"Yeah, it was all worth it to be able to witness such destructive power," Ziona agreed, nodding several times.

"Woman, it wasn't you who got punched in the face," Irethiel pointed out telepathically.

Kevin reluctantly agreed after hearing Ziona.

"Y-Yeah, it doesn't hurt at all, so it was all worth it, haha,"

"Says the patient with a swollen face," Irethiel commented.

"...."

'That guy is a true simp.' I though to myself.
