Chapter 64: You are not as good as you say

Devourers managed to infiltrate the Academy? And they still managed to attack a student, putting the viability of the Academy at risk.

That kind of news was being talked back and forth within the Academy's high command, yet to the students, nothing had happened.

Although the high command was concerned and investigating the situation, none of them wanted the students to know what had happened, lest word spread and end up affecting the status of the Academy.

Therefore, the Battle of the Halls continued without any problems.

During the morning hours, the second day had begun; today, the number of people in the arena's stands had increased considerably, double or triple what there was yesterday.

That is because today, there will be two fights; the first is to know who will be the top 16 of the Second Academy, and the next is to select the top 8.

These eight will be the most important and are the ones that attract the most people because they are the eight most powerful, they will be the eight most respected, and luck will not be enough to get there.

Whoever makes it to the top 8 means that they are capable of being there, and maybe any of them could win this Battle of the Halls.

Matt walked up to his designated arena, and his opponent, Liam Brown, was already there waiting for him.

"Hehe, I wasn't expecting to meet one of the dark horses this time. But it looks like the dark horse will finish his run before he reaches the top 8." Liam said with slight disdain.

Matt stared at him, "Are you one of the brothers the big guy said earlier?" Matt asked doubtfully.

That big guy said that if he met one of his brothers, he wouldn't meet the same fate as if he faced him, implying that those 'brothers' were more powerful than him.

But from the person in front of him, he didn't feel that he was mighty, so he thought, 'Is he a person who can hide his power?'

So, he asked.

Liam spat blood and felt his bones ache, 'This bastard is much stronger than we were informed; what the hell are those idiots doing?' He thought angrily.

He had only been hit a few times by Matt, but already he felt his whole body ache, and his trained organs stirred out of place slightly, causing him to feel an almost unbearable pain inside him.

"Well, you are strong. Let me fight you with all my power then." He growled and shouted upwards, unleashing his vampiric power with all his might. That red aura around him also increased the strength in his muscles and returned the organs to their original place.

Still, Matt simply sighed.

"I'll get this over with, so be prepared to feel the pain." Matt said.

Liam got angry after hearing this and let out a snort.

"Hmph, let me see how you're going to do it!" he shouted as he started running toward Matt at full speed.

Meanwhile, Matt covered his right hand with mighty vampiric power and ran to meet him.

The clash of fists created a powerful impact that struck the arena they were fighting in, causing a crack to be created in the ground.

This crack soon expanded as Liam was pushed back hard by the impact, and Matt followed close behind to give him another hard punch in the stomach in an instant.

He couldn't help but spit blood then as he was pushed back hard.

'He got through my defense like it was nothing!? Impossible!' Liam thought angrily and tried to compose himself quickly, but then he saw that Matt had appeared above him.

"You're not as good as you claimed." Matt said, smirking, and punched him squarely in the stomach, causing the blood that came out of Liam's mouth to stain his clothes slightly.

His body shot out and crashed into the bottom of the bleachers with a crash, ending the fight.
