Chapter 336: Fate Always Find Its Way



'Did he notice?...'

Emir slowed down his perception of time, then looked at the students, still uniformly standing, awaiting the result.

His gaze turned to Arthur, ass on the ground, left hand holding his right while he gazed at empty space.

Xavier, the one opposite him, looked up at him with eyes that held no lies, eyes with complete purity as if the world's filth never touched him, not even grazing him.

Emir didn't like that look.

[Ly, you think he's fishing?]

[.....Maybe, or he might've bought a report on you like the rest of those golden spoons.]

[Doesn't matter though, does it?]

[True, it's not time, shut him down.]

"Asking personal questions is against the rules, student Xavier. Do you want to walk a mile in Max's shoes?"

Immediately bowing his head, Xavier stuttered out:

"I-I'm sorry Sir! Please don't give me a penalty, I didn't mean to offend you!"

Emir snickered and patted his shoulder.

"As long as you know... now go."

He nodded repeatedly and rushed off to join his classmates.

Arthur stood up as Emir turned to look at the students, but he was given no attention, so he just walked back, his face showing complete defeat.

With two claps that deafened the room, Emir announced:

"Xavier wins."

Nobody reacted. It was obvious. They were only waiting to hear confirmation of what they had already decided.

Emir knew that, so he continued:

"You lot saw four matches, mine included, so you should have an idea of where the bar exists. Try to reach it."

Stomping hard on the ground, the students replied in unison:

"YES SIR!"

"Good."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He nodded towards them and raised his right hand, finger stretched, pointing at eight students.

"Now

and

come forward. As well as,

and

They reacted this time around, not expecting him to call up so many people at once. "All of us?"

"Damn, I guess we're not that important to have the entire class watch us duel." "True."

"Nah, he just wanted to use the top as an example, he's a fair prof."

"Can he protect us if something goes wrong though?"

"Of course he can, you saw how he moves."

"He's right, there's nothing to worry about!"

"Let's go all out!"

Emir smiled at their enthusiasm and naivety, thinking that his image was successfully established in their minds as a positive one. Though evil, he was fair, a lawful evil type, and thankfully, it wasn't too hard getting them to reach that conclusion.

He could've gone for the neutral or good type, but that wouldn't have worked. Many of his students were dumb, yes, but they weren't that dumb.

'...Arthur might be, though.'

Emir shook his head, getting himself out of his thoughts.

Emir's voice returned, silencing the students.

"Xavier's forth. ➖➖➖➖'s fifth. Ava's Sixth.----'s seventh....."

One by one, he looked at each of them and stated their rank.

Reaching the final one after half a minute, he looked at the nearest camera and said:

"Quinn. Last place... Pick an opponent that'll give you a chance to showcase your skills next

time."

Emir's gaze returned to the crowd of students, and he eyed them for a moment.

Seeing that no one had anything to say, he announced:

"Class is dismissed."

He timed everything so that they would be done just before the class ended, only leaving a

few minutes or so of leeway, allowing him to leave after finishing what he set out to do right

on time.

The students, surprised at his meticulousness, replied:

"Understood Sir!"

They broke the uniformity, packing their stuff as their professor left the class, heading home.

But just as he exited into the hallway, his terminal rang.

{Amon}

He answered the call using his terminal network, replying telepathically as it was the

Principal himself who was calling.

Whatever happened must be heard only by him.

[Good morning, Principal Amon.]

[Good morning to you, son.]

[...]

[...]

[...]

[...]

[...]

[...]

Silence was exchanged between them for a minute or so, until Emir broke that silence with a

sigh.

[Always these games with you... What is it?]

[...Material and Elementals broke out. They're mad. The Freezer is under lockdown.]

Emir smiled.

'Fate always finds its way.'

He knew this to be a consequence of interfering with the symbiote. As the minor disaster was

canceled out, another was created. Or maybe it was just the result of the third player's

interference.

'Doesn't matter.'

This wasn't written. It wasn't supposed to happen.

'I just gotta deal with it.'

[You should've started with that... I'm coming.]
