After thinking that, Matt looked at the woman he was thinking about.
'Ava Thompson, uh... She's a really beautiful woman. No wonder even that Duke is after her.' He smiled softly after seeing her.
She was a beautiful woman with brown hair and blue eyes. She dressed elegantly in full-body dresses similar to royalty's, and she always used an umbrella.
She doesn't have too many quirks, but she is a student of the Grand Sorcerer Section at the Academy, so she is strong. But what stands out most about her is her beauty and the title of nobility she has. This is the reason several Dukes and influential people want her, although one of them seems to have the upper hand, as he is a Grand Sorcerer, and Ava seems to like him.
'Well, things could work out well. She seems to be an open-minded woman.' Matt thought and looked at the fighting arena as the combat was about to begin.
Abyl Taylor is a 25-year-old woman with talent, but coming from a poor family that somehow has Adam's blood in their veins. She could become a mighty pillar of the empire in the future. If at 25, she already had almost 10,000 power, how much power would she have when she was 50 or 70?
This woman was a beloved asset to the Academy, who would not want her to die.
But on the other side was William Johnson. He is the same age but has over 10,000 power today. Even better, William Johnson is the son of a famous earl in the empire, which made this man highly valued by the Academy.
That's why many didn't know what to choose this time. Teachers don't want to see a fight to the death between two such excellent and talented people, but once it is broadcast, no one can do anything about it.
They must wait for one of the two to die.
William sneered at Abyl as soon as he started the fight.
"Heh, you little scum, who gave you the guts to challenge me like that? You really are an idiot." He subsequently made it as if he had realized something. "Oh, I get it now. You're looking for your death fast, and that's why you didn't want to wait until the end of the month fights. Hehe, well, let me see what you got this time, scum."
As soon as he finished saying this and without letting Abyl speak, he jumped towards her, summoning his sword extremely fast.
He sought to kill her in one blow, so he used a large portion of his strength. His speed, being driven by a powerful movement ability, was so fast that few could keep up with it.
"Agh... Scum, so now you've learned the tactics of the Thompson's bitch. Hmph." He jumped once more towards Abyl after this.
"Too bad that Thompson trash is so beautiful, but at the same time, she's such a whore as to give herself at the Duke's feet. Typical neighborhood whore." His act of mockery even led him to spit at where Abyl was standing as he attacked her.
At that precise instant, Abyl felt an opening in the guy's body. His power then suddenly increased from one moment to the next. Although it was not too noticeable an increase, it was enough for a surprise attack like this.
She moved her weapon at high speed instantly, not caring about the sword that wanted to lunge at her shoulder.
That alarmed William, and he tried to stop, but that act made Abyl's weapon hit him hard in the right arm.
At the same time, his sword collided with Abyl's shoulder, so both of them were shot in different directions by these attacks, one more sore than the other.
William couldn't help but let out a scream when he ended up rolling on the floor, as Abyl's attack had managed to cut the bone in his arm. The pain was so tremendous that it made him writhe in pain for a moment, and he glared hatefully at Abyl.
Several people in the stands frowned.
'What was that strange feeling I had? That attack felt different and strange...'
'What the hell is going on with this woman? There's something strange...' Various teachers thought so.
Even Ava, who was sitting quietly and watching the fight, frowned. She knew Abyl very well, as Abyl was like her disciple in sword techniques.
That was why she was able to recognize what had happened.
'She... Why does she have vampiric power?' In shock, Ava tried to watch the fight more concentrated.
At the same time, William made a strange move that surprised the vast majority.
