Chapter 413: End of 1st year.
“That was an inspiring speech, can we fight or should I go to sleep?” Blake said causing Luciano to burst out in laughter for the first time.
“You should have let him lead them to their deaths.” Luciano said as he managed to put his laughter under control.
“You guys are better than this. Don’t you see that he doesn’t care about your teammates and flags currently being destroyed?”
“His main focus is getting revenge, that is why instead of coming up with a plan to safeguard every team he decided to go on the offense even when he was well aware a lot of teams would lose their flag and get eliminated in the process.”
“So even if you all manage to somehow defeat both of us, he would simply finish off the rest of you.” Blake said.
“That’s... a... lie!” Serhan screamed in defense. “Can’t you all see that he is just trying to put us against each other!”
“What is the need for that? Not only can you guys not win, but even if things go south, Luciano and I can simply warp to Damon who is in possession of a void dagger.”
.....
“The flag destruction would continue, and there is certainly no way you all can defeat 3 of us together.” Blake said with a smirk.
“He has a point.” Haldor said as he turned to Serhan with an angry expression.
The members of every single team present were frustrated and angry at Serhan because not only were they losing teammates as time passed, but his decision had hastened their elimination.
With this time, they would have been able to kill a lot of beasts and raise their points as they waited for their turn.
“Are you guys going to believe him just like that? Explain how you would have protected everyone because it is impossible.” Serhan said in a frantic tone, but it was then that another set of mana bombs was shot into the air.
“You selfish bastard! How can you still ask for an explanation when flags are being destroyed?!” Michelle said.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
“Just like he said, he had always planned on exploiting us. Rather than go alone, I’ll ensure you come with me!” Haldor Roared in anger as he and his team charged at Serhan, but that was when Camilla alongside some demoted 2nd-year students like Dustin went over to Serhan’s side.
On seeing this, all 1st-year students and some demoted 2nd-year students like Michelle and Sach joined Haldor.
“This should be an interesting show.” Blake whispered to Luciano.
“At least the exam wasn’t totally disappointing.” Luciano said as they watched the fight between the 2 groups unfold.
...
“Did they just win 50 top ranking students without fighting?” Instructor Zirrack was flabbergasted by the whole situation.
“He is a genius, not only did he make them feel small, but he took advantage of the hatred each year had for each other.” Professor Gibson said.
With the 50 students being the strongest in each team, Gibson, Lovren, and Zirrack thought that they had a high chance of winning the battle, but they never expected something like this to happen.
“What do we do?” Professor Gibson couldn’t help but ask.
The final exam of the session which was scheduled to end in 6 days was about to end in less than 6 hours.
“There is nothing else we can do about it.” Principal Lovren sighed as they continued watching the fight.
...
During the fight that was going on, Damon had fired 2 sets of mana bombs signaling the elimination of 2 more teams and their flags, but both groups currently fighting didn’t seem to care anymore.
This was no longer a battle of teams, but years, because even Castiel was also attacking Serhan.
Although the demoted 2nd year group had top rankers like Serhan who was ranked 4, Dustin ranked 5, and Camilla ranked 7, the battle was already coming to an end, and the 1st year group seemed to be winning.
Not only did they have more top-ranking students but the presence of Castiel who possessed the darkness element was game-changing.
On activating Night mist, not only did he blind Serhan and his cohorts but he allowed those on his side to see.
“It’s almost time to step in.” Blake said as they could no longer see what was going on.
“I agree.” Luciano said as he brought out a black stone amulet with the inscription of a golden flame out from under his shirt.
“The lord of chaos, bestow upon this ground the light that destroys all iniquity.”
Immediately after the chant was over, a large golden ray of light burst out of the stone in Luciano’s hands, instantly revealing the location of everyone within the range of night mist.
The 33 students within night mist burst into golden flames as they all dropped to the floor screaming in pain from the scorching flames.
“That was easier than I thought.” Blake said as they walked closer to them.
Just a few seconds later, they were knocked unconscious and disappeared. Few were sent back to their flags while most of them were eliminated.
With that, Blake and Luciano began also went after the remaining flags, ending the exam of the final semester in less than 5 hours.
...
Blake’s team finished the exam with over 200k points, while Tessie’s team came in second place with measly 7k points. As for 3rd place and below were all negative points.
Dying and respawning at one’s flag deducted 5k points from the team’s point, but Tessie’s flag had been destroyed before they were wiped out. So none of their points were deducted.
The situation was chaotic because if they followed the rules students would lose a lot of points they gathered throughout the semester.
The school ended up not subtracting the points and crowning Blake, Luciano, and Damon as the overall top 3 students of the first year.
