Chapter 372 Chapter-372

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you can see, Mr. Jeffery is making a desperate attempt to exit the arena due to Mr. Jule's little game that has been ongoing for the past 25 minutes. However, he can't leave the arena, as stepping out of it would result in his instant death," the commentator announced.

"He's incredibly brutal," a fourth-year student remarked.

"Yeah, Jeffery is a fourth-year student, and he's the brightest in our class. But in front of Jule, he looks like a small bee that Jule keeps crushing over and over," another student added.

"I can't watch this anymore. This is unbearable," another fourth-year girl stated as she stood up and left the stadium.

Jeffery was in a state of confusion and distress at this point. He didn't know what to do. He was enduring both mental and physical torment.

'I tried to show off my two classes to everyone and prove that I'm the smartest fourth-year student, but I didn't know that Xander Jane would take an interest in me and announce me as the future husband of her daughter. Until today, I thought it was a good thing, but now, I'm feeling extremely sorry for showing off.'

'I had no role in their fight; it was Jule vs. the Jane house, but I got stuck in this situation because I was her future husband. I have to quit this match; I can't take this anymore,' Jeffery thought as he stood in one corner of the arena, eyeing Anon cautiously.

"Come on, Jeffery. Why are you just standing there like a pole?" Anon asked with a smile as he dismissed his sickles and approached him.

"Y-You, don't come near me," Jeffery warned Anon as he brandished a red pill in his hand.

"I-I'll eat this if you take one more step," Jeffery threatened, displaying the red pill.

"Hmm...?" Anon wondered what the pill was and used his skill on it.

[Mana Awakening Pill]

[Elves practice to Awaken their mana from the age of 50 years, and it takes them around 500 to 1000 years to complete this process. Once they Awaken their mana, they enter a whole new world of using magic.

They can see the mana strings, manipulate mana, and the properly Awakened ones can even nullify their opponent's spellcasting with just one flick of their eyes.

Mana Awakening Pills are made to help elves reach that stage faster, but they failed... the product that resulted was a red pill. This pill's real name was 'Force Awaken Pill.' This pill can forcibly allow an elf to breakthrough to the Awakened mana state for 5 minutes, but it has a major drawback.

It consumes the life force of the elf, killing them without leaving any chances of survival. Once in the Awakened mana form, the elf's strength is boosted by up to 400%, and their speed is increased by 1000%.]

Anon was left surprised after reading this information.

'Wow, that's even more dangerous than the overcharge,' Anon thought as he gazed at Jeffery.

"Who gave him that pill?" Ion demanded as he rose from his seat.

Xander lowered his head, sweat forming on his forehead.

"I asked, who gave him that pill? That's a prohibited substance," Ion shouted, grabbing Xander's hair and forcing him to look up.

"Look at me, you piece of shit. Tell me, did you give it to him?" Ion asked.

"N-No, Fathe-"

Slap

"I want the truth. Tell me the truth, or I will really kill you today, Xander. You are the only drug dealer who can access that drug," Ion shouted.

Xander remained silent, his face showing misery.

"ANSWER ME!!!!" Ion bellowed.

"Y-Yes... Father. I-I did..." Xander admitted.

"You damn piece of shit. Do you realize what you've done? The Lawson family won't stay quiet after this, and they'll want you first. Do you understand that?" Ion inquired.

"I-I do, Father," Xander acknowledged.

Ion then walked toward the Principal.

"Tell him to discard that pill. It's a banned substance. He can't use it," Ion instructed.

"I'm sorry, sir, but these rules are in line with your family's tradition. Do you really want to change them now? The use of drugs is allowed in this competition, and you were a witness to this rule, weren't you?" the Principal asked, maintaining a stern expression.

"Damn it," Ion cursed, returning to his seat.

"F-Father... please-"

"Shhh.... I will deal with you later. Just pray that he doesn't take that pill, because if he dies at Anon's hands, everything will point to him. But if he takes the pill and then dies, it will be our fault as well. I'll hand you over to the Lawsons without a second thought. Keep that in mind. I may be the strongest man in this kingdom, but I have a reputation to uphold, and I can't go back on my word," Ion stated, looking at Xander.

"Hey, I told you not to come near me. I will really take the pill and enter the Awakened mode. Then you'll die. I don't think any of us want that. So, let's call this match quits and go back to our homes without any injuries. I promise to sever all connections with Jeena and her family. I won't show my face to anyone in this kingdom. Just let me go," Jeffery pleaded.

"No, bitch," Anon replied as he used his skill.

Anon hurled the javelin at Jeffery, piercing through his hand and chest.

Zzzzzzzz

"Ugghhhh" Jeffery fell to the ground.

Thud

Jeffery's life seemed to flash before his eyes as he gazed at the sky.

'I'm dead... I'm coming, God. Please take care of my family,' Jeffery thought as he slowly closed his eyes.

"Hey, eat this and show me the power of this pill," Anon said as he forcefully made Jeffery swallow the red pill.

The entire stadium fell silent, gazing at Anon in confusion.

Then, suddenly, Jeffery's eyes began to close, and he died.

"Heh...? Nothing happened? Well, I guess I am the winn—" Anon's words were interrupted as Jeffery's lifeless body abruptly grabbed Anon's hand and started moving.
