The Author Is Speechless

The instructor almost cried because his favourite weapon got cut into pieces. But he was the head instructor of a prestigious academy so he had to hold his tears. "Ahem… I have no obligation to stop Viktor E. North from using his scythe. Now, Rae Li. Please come forward and demonstrate your weapon."

Rae jumped off the seats and took out his H.drive.

The moment he turned on the drive, about one hundred daggers pooped out and it fell over the place. Everyone laughed and said it was a waste. The weapon had no value.

"Do you think you can use those as you wish?"

"Heheh!! Don't worry, don't worry. If I can catch you off guard, you can count it as a pass. Right?"

"Well, Viktor knew what he was doing. But what about you? Do you think you can pull the same act as Viktor?"

"I don't know about his speed, but I can surprise you."

Suddenly, every dagger started to float above and orbit his whole body. The rain of daggers covered more than 4 metres leaving him with no opening.

Everyone was staring at the tornado of blades as he walked closer to the instructor. The speed of those blades increased and at that moment, the blades vanished and reappeared in front of the Instructor.

Every blade was pointing all over him that left him no chance to move. He was caught off guard by his surprise attack. The killing intent Rae gave off also made the instructor so scared that he forgot to blink his eyes.

This time, he was holding in his pee.

"Um. Instructor, aren't you going to make it as a pass? I controlled my daggers perfectly and kept your eyes okay."

The instructor touched the dagger which was 5 cm away from his eye and said, "Good. You passed. But let me ask you one thing."

"Ask me anything, instructor."

"What kind of power do you hold?"

"Me? Hmmm... Gravity."

"And what about your cousin?"

Rae looked at Viktor for a second and smiled, "That, I don't know. But what I'm aware of is, I can never win against him. Not even Welis."

Welis laughed a little and said, "I nearly died for going against his simple habit."

Viktor looked at her with a disgusting expression and said, "Shut up filthy rat! You're ruining my game!"

Everyone in the gym was quiet after hearing their conversation. The instructor who nearly peed in his pants dismissed the class early and told everyone to run a few laps before going back to the class. So as instructed, everyone except for Viktor ran some laps and left the gym.

But only 5 of them stayed behind.

"Viktor, I challenge you in a duel."

Baek Suk came in front of his chair and again said, "I still don't believe you pulled that. You must've paid tons of money to make him act like that. There's no way a human can move that fast."

*Game Over*

Viktor's avatar suddenly died because his attention suddenly moved. He nearly completed the level but Baek made him lose.

Viktor looked at him with a small smile as Rae and Welis both ran away with Ijin. They both left the gym by leaving those two behind.

"I don't know why they left, but ganging up on me will destroy your pride as a hybrid. I will never see you as a warrior."

Viktor stood up and put his hands on his shoulder. "Kid, you should know your place. And this thing called pride is the very thing that will kill you one day."

"Pride is the warrior's sword. And if you don't have any…"

He looked around and saw nothing. He felt like he was being teleported into a vast empty place in the blink of his eyes.

"W..what happened…"

His voice echoed everywhere but there were no such walls around him. He was staring at an empty white platform that stretched infinitely.

It was Viktor's manipulative spell.

"I thought your pride can fix everything. How about going out of here?"

Viktor came out of nowhere and talked from his back. He became so scared that he drew his sword and tried to slash Viktor's face.

But Viktor's body became smoke after the sword passed through.

"Huh? Drawing your sword at an unarmed man. Where is your dignity? Where is your pride? I can't see it."

Viktor again pooped out of nowhere and this time, he stopped the swinging sword with the tip of a pinky finger. "Are you sure your pride is sharp enough to cut me? All I can see is a boulder on your hand, not a sword."

Baek looked at his hand and saw a long heavy blunt stone that quickly fell to the ground. He was unable to lift it again.

"What!! What are you doing to me!! Cut it off!!"

"You said you wanted to have a duel with me. What I'm doing is to give you a chance to land an attack on me. But, your pride is so blunt that you can't even lift a small dagger. Hahahah!!! How entertaining!"

Viktor's smile was so long that it was enough to touch his ear. Viktor's face became separated in half and a bloody hand came out from his bloody neck. His body turned into a huge creature that has the countless faces of Baek Suk. They were all saying 'pride' continuously. The white floor became stained in blood as the creature was moving closer to him and that time, the skinless bloody creature popped out of his parent's faces.

They were big as an elephant's head and they were wearing an unsettling smiles. "Hyun! My baby Hyun!! Come to mommy!"

Baek Suk became too terrified to see his mother's face wearing a smile that she never did and started to cry.

"Please! Don't come near me.. please!" Bark said.

A wall suddenly appeared behind him and his back touched it. He was cornered by the wall so he sat down and gazed at the scary hellish creature as they were saying 'pride' continuously.

When the monster already opened its mouth to devour Baek, it disappeared.

"Baek…"

Baek looked above and saw Viktor looking down at him. "If I ever hear the word 'Duel' from you, make sure it will be the last day of your life. I will keep you inside my room forever and show you how your family has forgotten about you. If you ever talk about me or today's incident to anyone, I will throw you into space and watch you expand and expand and expand until you shred into bits."

Baek was trembling so much that he failed to look at Viktor's face clearly. His eyes were also shaking because of the fear.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Viktor put his hand on the shoulder and suddenly he saw he was back inside the gym. But the fear was still deep inside his heart. The terrifying monster he saw a few seconds ago felt so real that he was unable to think that it was all fake.

He was traumatized.

He simply nodded his head yes and looked at his shoes.

"Hahah! That's great then. You know, I don't like it when people are so full of pride and think that they can have a duel with me and win with pride in their hearts. I don't spare people even if it's a duel. I simply slice their neck and put it in a jar."

Viktor grabbed his face and moved it closer to his face to say, "Kid, I will let go of you because it's our first day at college. If something like this ever happens again, where will your head go?"

"I..inside a..jar."

"Correct!! Now that's how I like it. You have a good understanding of your tasks. Now, I'll take my leave. See you in the class tomorrow."

He waved at Baek and left the gym. The moment he left the gym, he fainted straight on the spot.

…

On the premises of the college at 3 PM.

Viktor came outside with his backpack and saw the three of them staring on a side of the road. They were all waiting for Viktor to come outside and stop Ijin from going inside. He was super curious so they had to pin him down until Viktor's job was done.

"Hey Viktor!! Did you win? I think you lost the duel!!"

Viktor walked past the group without answering his question and went straight inside his car.

He rolled down the window and said, "Aren't you coming home? Or should I leave you?"

Rae and Welis went inside the car after goodbye to Ijin. They didn't ask anything about the duel or Baek because they knew what exactly had happened.

So they all kept quiet and reached home safely.

…

"Welcome back, master. How was your first day at college?"

Viktor gave his backpack to Adonis and said, "It was ordinary. But I still think staying inside the house is better. Anyway, I'm going to do something inside my lab today. Don't call me until it's morning."

"Master, should I make you a long night's food?"

"Yes. That will be very helpful."

He's good at reading the room. I need to work inside my library of record. After consuming tons of other fragments, my library became different and it also holds a different type of record.

I need to study them all and organize them before I consume the other fragments which are somewhere on earth. Maybe I can find their location after I finish my study.

Viktor went inside his room and locked the door to start his research. That time, Adonis put a barrier around him to keep him away from any danger. It was so dangerous that even a fly couldn't enter the room. It was protected from everything.
