Chapter 30: Looking For A Monster

The crystal ball trembled in our hands, gradually releasing scorching energy. The students around, initially confident, gradually moved away as the heat became unbearable.

The vengeful brother triumphed and released greater energy.

"You\'re not too bad, I admit, Tristan couldn\'t even make me tremble in arm wrestling, but you can stand up to me, but let\'s see if you can handle that."

He released a greater dose of energy and the ball gradually turned red. The others moved further away, starting to panic.

"Hey, Adrian, it\'s too much!"

"We\'ll be in big trouble if you kill him!"

"Be quiet! It\'s no longer child\'s play, it\'s now a real challenge."

They shuddered, the guy named Adrian smiled, but not a provocative and mocking smile like earlier, it was a smile of satisfaction, from a fighter happy to have finally found a good opponent, a feeling somehow reciprocal. He noticed my reaction and smiled.

"Look at you, smiling like a madman, are you enjoying this? Are you even an E-rank? I heard things about you but you don\'t match any of those assumptions... Now let\'s spice it up: from now on, I will overestimate you and I\'ll go all out, try not to..."

"Nah, screw you."

A shadow covered my hand, giving it the shape of a monster\'s paw, and grabbed the crystal ball next to Adrian\'s hand and pulled him towards me before I gave him a powerful punch that sent him flying on a few students behind him.

Back in the meeting room, all attention was focused on the young man who had just mentioned a problem with the E classes. Iris, intrigued, questioned him.

"What do you mean? Is there something with E-rank students?"

"Well, it\'s mostly a rumor, as you know, Miss Iris, I participate in a lot of club activities at the academy, between us, that\'s why I often arrive late to our meetings, so as the president of the club of 3 of them, I am in contact with some students of class E, like Miss Guinerva, Miss Tanya, Miss Agiel and others... Boys too of course! But not many, because they always annoy girls, and I have to protect them, hehe..."

He quickly looked around and took a serious look when he saw a few burning stares fixed on him.

"So like I said, I\'ve heard some strange things about E ranks. First of all, Miss Agiel complained about being demoted to 3rd in the class results. I thought it was weird, the only one who manages to get better grades than Miss Agiel in all exams is Miss Sunnah, Freddin did it twice too but that was after Miss Agiel was sick for 3 days, so it makes sense, but then someone didn\'t beat her just once, but on every exam for 3 weeks in a row, more than ever, I heard that this student was so problematic that no student wanted to become his tutor, so a teacher is currently monitoring him. I even heard that he once caused a boy to be expelled for a week and that when his friends complained, he beat everyone."

Hope\'s ears flickered. Sunnah raised her finger as if asking permission and whispered in a barely audible voice.

"Ex-excuse me, it\'s N... Not exactly how it happened, he only beat... Huh, that\'s what I heard, some students were really angry with him and planned an ambush at night, I warned a teacher but when we arrived at night, they had all disappeared. But the next morning they were all fine and some of them said that... Hm... He did something to them and healed them."

Hope frowned. Lisa laughed and gave Sunnah a mocking look.

"Um, little Miss, first of all, you know that the students you take care of are, how should I put it... Squishy. They\'re labeled E-rank only because that\'s the minimum level here, which is why we use the potential system to distribute tasks instead, so if this guy is still E-ranked, then he\'s not worth a dime. Are you sure it\'s not just your division that\'s advertising? And even if he did, do you think beating certain E ranks is an achievement? They don\'t even know how to use weapons."

"...I was just...Sorry."

"Lisa, fighting against those you think are weak is worse than boasting without power. Sunnah\'s opinion matters as much as yours here, so if you allow me, I wouldn\'t want you to interrupt her again."

Lisa, irritated, gave a dark look at Iris who remained impassive. What does the barking of a dog represent when a lion sleeps? No matter how angry she was, Lisa understood her place.

She looked away with an annoyed face. Iris sighs and turns to her friend.

"Tell me more about this student, so he, so a boy, is strong enough to beat many E-ranks, plus he has the best grades among the E-ranks, so a genius and an intellectual. Someone who only fights when targeted and noble enough to heal their bullies."

Somewhere in the academy, the noble boy clenched his fist as his adversaries looked on fearfully.

"Am I E-rank? Well, these fists are rated E for everyone, so let\'s find it out!"

"You.. Bastard!!!"

Three students ran towards him and the next moment, a drop of blood flew into the air.

Thomas scratched his head, looking disappointed and muttered to the tall student.

"Maxim, you...really know a lot, huh? We should promote you to the position of council database administrator."

"Thanks, hehe, but I don\'t really know everyone, just the people I\'m interested in."

"Which is a lot of girls."

"Hey?! No! I mean...I\'m interested in boys too... HUH wait! Let me rephrase: boys may attract my interest, but they will never be my future wife, right?... Not that I\'m looking for a wife among girls!"

Everyone laughed at his statements, the rising tension had subsided. Iris repositioned one of her locks and questioned the young man with a look full of curiosity.

"By the way, what\'s the boy\'s name? A phenomenon like him couldn\'t be unknown to the council, right?"

Maxim struck a thoughtful pose, awakening Thomas\'s despair.

" You do not know ?! You weren\'t interested?? You have memorized every girl\'s hobby but didn\'t consider a boy who beat an entire class?"

"Shh!!! Not in front of Miss Iris..."

"What\'s wrong with you?!"

Back at Dora\'s position, 8 students were on the ground, unconscious. Dora looked at his fist, looking disappointed, and turned to Adrian who wiped the blood from his nose.

"I know that look, that of a predator dissatisfied with an easy meal. You want to bite into a steak that will have captured your full attention, don\'t you?

"What is your rank?"

"Haha, you\'re bold to ask that, when you\'re a walking anomaly. I\'m a D-rank warrior, and I\'m impressed that an E-rank can make my blood flow, so what exactly are you?"

The students around them were trembling with anxiety. Among them, Walter began to run away.

"Teachers! Someone, call the teachers!"

Dora\'s eyes closed and when he opened them, a black light came from them, alarming Adrian, and Midgard who watched in silence.

(Honey, no!)

"Are you serious..."

An explosion echoed between the walls, on the council side, Hope had gotten up from her seat.

"Wait, sir Maxim, an E-rank? Stronger than others and healing them... Like to prevent them from proving what happened?"

"... What? Well, it makes sense."

"Do you have his name? What does he look like?"

"I don\'t really remember, and it\'s not weird at all, why should I remember a fake girl?"

"... Seriously what the hell is wrong with You?!"

The tension was building once again, those who only knew Hope as the Legend\'s brother could not understand his current frustration, but only one person, with her frail and trembling hand rising, broke the young man\'s chains.

"I... I have it...We\'re in the same class...His name was... Anesidora."
