Chapter 45 Senior Brother

Hueg was always curious about the people who had great desires and end goals in their lives and why they would want to achieve such goals by wasting their time when they could just enjoy their lives.

He once again encountered that, and it was with a girl who was his age.

"I want to see it.' Hueg slowly muttered inside his mind. 'I want to be beside her and see what her goal is that can make her challenge inevitable encounters.'

'I know I am a laid-back person, but letting my life go away just because of this…this feels stupid.' Hueg halted his left hand from grabbing his right arm, which was just a few inches away from each other. 'I want to live and follow her. I want to know how to live with a goal!'

Hueg's knees sank to the ground, trying to resist and stand up.

Lily, who was scared to go numb, was also shocked by Ana and Hueg's sudden resolve. She wasn't expecting them to be resisting so strongly and not breaking apart in such a despairing situation.

'Can I be like them too?' Lily also asked such a question in her mind. Then something flashed before her eyes as she remembered what her mother told her and what Lily's own wish was.

'I know I am weak, not strong enough like them, but I will try, try to survive till an opportunity, a change!' Lily also started to resist strongly.

The Corruptor was surprised to see such weaklings trying to defy its commands. It sneered with strong disdain. "Futile."

But they didn't seem to hear it, not even trying to pay any heed to it.

Ana, on the other hand, was able to aim her arms at the approaching Corruptor who was just a few meters away from them.

'I use my secret spell; I can't hide it anymore. I do not care about the damage, I have to survive, I have to take this thing down!' Ana yelled in her mind loudly while a strong white light emanated from her palms.

The Corruptor didn't show much reaction to Ana's new attack. It just tilted its head and grinned, showing its jagged teeth. "Hands down."

Ana then felt her hand getting pulled down by an invisible force, making her aim down.

"I won't let you do it!" Ana gritted her teeth and showed a crazed expression, stopping her arm from moving even an inch.

Ana's crazy action and intensity made everyone dumbfounded. They had never seen such things, and the other students who were arriving, watched from afar and also witnessed such things.

The Corruptor also saw this, having it become dumbfounded. Then it started to panic, not knowing what to do as it was currently being heavily restricted.

Ana locked the aim of her palm at the Corruptor and said it with determination. " [ Gre - "

Clap!

However, Ana, who was to complete the spell, got her attention grabbed by the sudden and abrupt clap from beside her. This calp not only grabbed Ana's attention, it did everyone's, even the Corruptor's.

But what happened next shocked them, as they felt the invisible force that was controlling their body parts.

They looked at the one who was probably the culprit in this.

"Huh!?" Ana, Hueg, Lilly, and others were surprised to see it being a boy who looked like he was the same age as them.

The boy was wearing a short scholar's robe and black pants with black boots. He had a nonchalant face with a slight smile on his face, which made him attractive with the addition of his already beautiful looking face. He had short yet wavy, light-violet-colored hair that swayed a little because of the gentle breeze. He was walking toward them with his hands in his pocket, not even caring about the Corruptor.

"Little ones, I was watching the entire time, your beautiful performances. I have to say I do have to applaud you all for your just average effort." The moment he opened his mouth, it immediately stung many people's hearts.

"But, there were a few exceptions who truly amazed me." The boy looked at the trio, consisting of Ana, Hueg, and Lily, as he said that.

"Who are you?" At that moment, the Corruptor spoke with cautiousness as it felt extreme danger coming from this boy.

The boy finally looked at the Corruptor and spoke with it with a big smile on his face, like he had reunited with his old friend. "I am Asher, a student of the EverGreen Academy. It is nice to meet you. I always wanted to see one of you, a young and dumb Corruptor with zero battle knowledge."

"And I was indeed right, you Corruptors are so weak when you are in the early stages. Man, nothing like those big guys, which gave me such a headache to kill." Asher said it with annoyance, letting out his frustration.

"But." Asher looked at the Corruptor curiously, who was looking at him cautiously. "Sending a Corruptor to newbies is still too much, as you guys are elites among demons."

Then he looked down at Ana, Hueg, and Lily, who were dumbfoundedly looking at him because of how much Asher had talked by now in such a situation. "Hey, don't give me that look. I want to praise you guys, you know. The fact that you guys didn't give up and fought for a way to kill it is truly praiseworthy. The people who gave up before even trying are someone most detested to have you on their team."

"You see, the Corruptor might look like someone with invincible power, but it isn't that complicated." Asher tilted his head sideways and looked at the Corruptor. "So, today I am thinking of giving you guys some advice from your soon-to-be favorite senior."

"What do you guys think?" Asher then asked, looking at everyone.

…

The judge, who was watching this from afar with a deadpan face, couldn't help but sigh helplessly. 'He is at it again with his showoff-ness."
