As soon as Serafina finished saying that, the atmosphere around the room changed, and it turned violent. A wild, untamed breeze began to enter inside, gathering into one point around her.Everyone around the room had their face stiffened by the situation, and some of the adults in the place looked at it amusingly. Some were alerted and ready to unleash their own techniques.
Lars, who received the pressure head-on, tilted his head in wonder at just how the turn started to change so badly. He never intended for any of this to happen; he just wanted to see the admired girl he yearned for all those hardships inside the dungeon.
However, what he received was intolerable, as she had forgotten even his existence. Despite receiving something unjust, Lars prevailed. He gritted his teeth and firmly stood in front of Serafina with open arms, having no intention of harming her.
"This guy!". Internally, Serafina struggled to keep her emotions in check as the flow of the wind changed, letting a dangerous premonition upon the site.
A surge of forgotten memories began to resurface as the figure of the man in front of him overlapped; every day, the guy would always greet her with a refreshing smile and every time got brutally rejected.
But all of that attempts of him ttyingvtwin her, it was all meaningless before her stoned heart. After recalling all of that forgotten memory, her inner heart began to stir dangerously, and her black pupils started to change, turning into red colour that gave a menacing aura.
"All of you stop!".
A stern and composed tone reverberated across the room as it dissipated the tension that had been built, making everyone in the place turn their heads toward the source and witness Roland, with Viana behind, approach the site.
"Stop this in an instant. You guys put the name of our Academy to shame! Everyone, I apologize for the behavior of our students".
With her strict tone, Viana reprimanded the group and spoke to everyone in place, asking for some pardon. Luckily, Viana could detect any abnormalities in the flow of wind, so she rushed ahead toward the source and, seeing Serafina, almost released her spells.
"What happened here?".
Roland swept his gaze to the sides, looking at the gathering groups, which seemed hostile, especially Serafina. Her eyes gleamed in a dangerous light, and she seemed ready to lunge at the white-haired boy in front of her.
"It's been a while, headmaster".
Gary hurriedly stepped forward and told Roland about his existence. Then, Gary whispered something to Katarina, making her breathe heavily before she headed toward the conflict. Then, she greeted her friend.
"Hey, Serafina, it's been a while".
Being subjected to another person when her mind was in chaos made Serafina delay for a bit as she searched her memories of the girl's existence in her mind.
"...Katarina?".
"Yes! Thank god. I think you are also forgetting about me!".
Katarina beamed as she pushed Lars, which garnered his hostile reaction. Katarina ignored him and stood in front of Serafina with a smile on her face.
Her smiling figure was warm like a sun, which eased Serafina's raging heart and loosened the tension in her body.
"It's been a while, Katarina".
"Ehehe, yup. Glad to see you are doing fine, although some things never change. Well, some say, stupid can't be cured, unless by death itself".
"Huh!? What the hell was that?...".
Lars' outburst was getting overwhelmed by the lively situation Katarina created. She began to push aside Serafina and share her experience from all this time inside the dungeon, inviting Hina and Xiao Lian's curiosity.
"Oh, you guys are Juniors. Pleased to meet you, both of you!".
"Yes, me too. Pleased to meet you, Senior".
"Mm, pleased to meet you".
Hina and Xiao Lian began to open their hearts, looking at the close relationship between Katarina and Serafina. The four of them began to be engrossed in their own world, talking about the Dungeon exploration Katarina had experienced.
Lars felt left out, his face knitted in anger, and he wanted to get close to Serafina when another party entered the scene.
"What happened here to make it this crowded? Move, guys! You are blocking someone else's way."
Soma's commanding tone inflicts everyone's curiosity, as they wonder who in their right mind dared treat a senior in their Academy in such a way.
Lars' face frowned, looking at the rude Junior. Gary concealed his smile inside, while Katarina was stunned to see Serafina's and the mood of the two juniors that were with her brightens.
"Soma!".
Hearing his dear girlfriend's melodious voice, Soma ignored the glares from everyone and approached Serafina, who welcomed him with angelic smiles, which made everyone in the place flinch and turn to rock.
Lars' eyes widened as he saw Soma walk past him, not concerning himself to Lars. This genuinely shook his core, especially when he saw Serafina take the boy's hand with an open heart.
"What the hell is happening here?".
Soma, feeling curious, asked Serafina, but he got a shake of the head as an answer from Serafina.
"Don't concern yourself with it! Come here, Soma. I have someone to introduce to you".
Serafina ignored Lars's incredulous stare and shoved Soma in front of Katarina.
"...".
Both sides were petrified after being met. Soma stared at Katarina with a surprised face. He recognized the female before him upon a single sight of her figure description, the same as Katarina, who was surprised to see Serafina's soft expression, which had made her heart flutter ever since the boy came.
"There is no mistaking it, she is one of the heroines who governs wind and a master of bow, Kaarina Agnes". Soma mattered in his heart.
"I don't think Serafina could show that much expression, especially toward the opposite sex. Is it perhaps?". Katarina gasped while muttering in her heart, alternating her gaze between the two.
Looking at the handsome boy in front of her, Katarina lost in her own thoughts before she snapped back and extended her right hand.
"Nice to meet you, My name is Katarina Agnes. I was Serafina's friend, I hope we can get along well".
"My Chinese name is Xiao Ma. But if it's too hard to pronounce, you can call me, Soma. Pleased to meet you, Senior". Stay tuned to mvl
Soma reaches out her hand, and both of them officially become acquaintances, and he is filled with the situation.
Initially, he intended to introduce his usual name, Soma. But after meeting with Xiao Rui and learning about his bloodline, Soma began to use his real name first before it became his second name.
Upon closer look, there is an unknown man. His hair is white, and he is still shocked by the event. Soma ignored his existence completely, and then accidentally, he faced Roland and Gary, who stood side by side.
Without minding everyone's stare, Soma approached both people and then addressed Roland casually, which caused the students to roll their eyes in shock. S~eaʀᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Headmaster, I have a request!".
"Hou, What is it?".
Roland knit his brows amusingly, seeing the fire that lit in Soma's eyes provoke the sleeping tiger inside him.
"I ask you to permit the final match to be held this day after Lin Fan recuperates from the match, which is happening right now! Can you permit that?".
Viana and everyone who heard Soma's ridiculous request had their eyes widened; some even couldn't hold their dropping jaws.
Only Roland and Gary, who stood in front of Soma, did not falter; instead, they stared at the boy amusingly.
"I am sorry, Soma. But, we can't do that, because tomorrow there will be…".
Viana, who interjects from the side, is held by Roland, who raises his hand and tells her to at least listen to the boy's reason.
"What is your reason for doing that? You know that tomorrow, this place will be packed to the brim with important guests who will seek a Talent for their own purpose."
"Yeah, I am aware of that, but, Hear me out first. Tomorrow, the scouts from the Guilds around the world will only watch a match between two first-year students that reached the final…".
Roland was a bit impressed that Soma said two first years would be present in the final.
"...Give tomorrow's day focused entirely to the third-year students who will be released from this place months later, to walk their own path as an awakener. Let the competition become a Free match where every student can participate, showing their strength. As for me, the first-year, I have more than enough time to shake the world in my third-year, later. So, let me have the final match, today!...".
Soma tried to catch his breath for a second and submerged in his own thoughts. His instinct tells him to move forward with the plan to awaken the dormant system he had.
The throbbing he felt earlier was something familiar when he watched Martial Saint demonstrate the First technique of fighting Raijuu. Soma is confident that the second technique will be unlocked after he exchanges beliefs with Lin Fan, for he is already mastering it.
He observed Roland contemplating his choice, still considering Soma's proposal.
Roland looked toward Soma, and he saw the blazing fire that ignited his spirit to exchange blows with him. Then, he turned to his wife after a stinging gaze pricked his side.
Recognizing the gaze, Roland couldn't do anything but sigh in resignation. When he tried to express his intention, Soma got the better of him.
"...In tomorrow's free match, let's have a duel headmaster. I want to test my full power against an active S-Rank Awakeners".
"Deal, Let's do it!".
