Chapter 71 The Blood Manipulator

I felt a sudden chill run through my body, causing me to freeze in place. It was as if I was surrounded by a cold, icy barrier that left me unable to move. Confused and disoriented, I tried to shake off the sensation, but it persisted.

That's when I noticed the guy standing to my left. He was moving his hand in a deliberate manner, and I realized that it was his technique that had caused my body to freeze up. Despite the discomfort, I couldn't help but feel impressed by his skill.

As I stood there, frozen in place, I couldn't help but notice the guy who had been on the ground just a minute ago. He was now standing tall and looking incredibly cocky, as if he had just won some sort of battle. But I knew better. I knew that the guy to my left was the real threat, and I couldn't wait to see what else he had up his sleeve. With a smirk, I watched as the cocky guy strutted around, completely unaware of the danger that still lurked nearby.

Although my body was frozen, I could still feel my blood circulating and my mind working. I knew I had to find a way to break free from the icy grip that held me in place.

'...just a little bit more...' With all the concentration I could muster, I focused on my breathing and tried to slow down my heart rate.

As I did this, I began to feel a small measure of control returning to my body. My fingers twitched, and I could feel my toes trying to move. Encouraged by this, "yes!" I pushed myself harder, summoning all my willpower to break free.

With a sudden burst of energy, I broke through the cold barrier that had held me captive. I stumbled forward, feeling the warmth return to my limbs as I regained control of my body. I looked over at the guy to my left, his blue eyes wide open and dropped jaw made me think he was surprised.

Turning my attention back to the cocky guy, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I saw the look of surprise on his face. He clearly hadn't expected me to break free, and now he was left standing there, unsure of what to do next.

I couldn't believe it - I had broken free from the icy grip that had held me in place. As I looked over at the guy who had caused it, I felt a surge of adrenaline pumping through my veins. "You think you can freeze me? Think again," I said with a smirk.

The guy just looked at me, surprised by my sudden burst of energy. "What are you talking about?" he asked, clearly confused.

I raised my eyebrow and moved my head to the right. "You heard me. If you actually want me to be a villain, I will act like one," I said with determination in my voice.

I closed my eyes and imagined a mirrored house surrounding us all, trapping us in an alternate reality. Slowly, I began to walk towards the glasses, feeling a sense of power and control that I had never experienced before.

As I stepped into one of the glasses, I laughed in disbelief. The feeling of walking through glass was surreal, but I felt alive. Looking back at the others trapped in the glass, I couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority. "You can try to break free, but it's no use," I said with a grin.

One of the others in the glass looked at me with fear in their eyes. "What are you doing? Let us out of here!" they screamed.

I just laughed. "You're all trapped now. And you know what they say - if you can't beat them, join them," I said with a shrug.

With that, I continued to walk through the glass, feeling more confident and powerful with each step. I knew that I had the upper hand now, and I was determined to use it to my advantage.

I could hear them shouting and screaming, "let us go!"

"My father will hear about this!"

"I didn't even want to join them here..."

Their voices filled with fear and desperation. They were trying to break the glass with their hands and knives, but it was no use. They were trapped, just like I had been moments before.

As I watched them struggle, I couldn't help but wonder how they even ended up in this academy with such weak skills. Had they not known what they were getting themselves into?

Suddenly, I saw the guy with the knife make a move towards me. Without hesitation, I moved my finger and pointed at him.

"A brave one, huh..." With a swift motion to the left, I tossed him towards the cocky one, who stumbled and fell to the ground.

The others in the glass looked at me in shock, their faces filled with disbelief. "How are you doing this?" one of them asked.

I just smiled, feeling more confident and powerful than ever before. "Let's just say, you're all going to die," I replied with a smirk.

As I continued to move through the glass, I felt a sense of satisfaction wash over me. I had proven myself to be a force to be reckoned with, and I knew that I had the upper hand. They were all at my mercy, and I was determined to use that to my advantage.

With a wave of my hand, I created a wave of energy that knocked them all off their feet. They looked up at me, unsure of what to do next.

"You're all mine now," I said with a grin. "Freeze me, go ahead!" The corners of my lips lifted on their own.

I watched the guy approach me, I knew he had underestimated me. His cocky attitude was clear, but I remained calm and focused. Suddenly, I felt a strange sensation in my hands, I wanted to manipulate the blood in his body.

"Bald of you to assume that you could defeat me," I said, my voice low and steady.

With a flick of my wrist, I pushed him back a few steps, causing him to stumble. He regained his balance and lunged at me, but I was ready. I pulled him towards the wall, and he struggled to break free.

"You can't control me!" he shouted, his face turning red with anger.

But I was in control. I lifted him up to the height of the house made of mirrors, which was about three meters high, and then brought him back down to the ground. As he fell to the ground, he passed out, and I noticed a small amount of blood coming out of his mouth. His face turned blue.

"Are you okay?" I asked in a sarcastic tone.

He didn't respond, and I realized that he was no longer breathing. I looked at his lifeless body, feeling a mix of emotions.

"Oh no... I wish I could care..." I placed my hand on my lips.

Suddenly, the wall behind him broke, and I jumped back in surprise.

"What just happened?" I muttered to myself.
