Chapter 186 Chapter 186:Taking The Lead
"Tsk, these useless pieces of shit."
Sitting over a rock and folding his leg, Issac cursed watching the one-sided assault.
"I don't want to agree but what Issac said is right.''Ian rubbed his black circled tired eyes and let out a soft yawn.
"Since you can't defeat the boss monster, just surrender. Why waste time and interfere with my sleep? Just finish this as soon as possible."
"Why do you always chatter about sleeping?"Lara reprimanded.
"If you had to do all the annoying tasks and spend a sleepless night getting called by Vice-Principals and instructors and then take care of hooligans jumping around, you would have already gone mad."
"Or do you want to interchange departments?"
For the very first time, Ian's eyes twinkled with sparkling light.
Lara wiped the beads of cold sweat that formed over her forehead.
Getting called out at midnight will not affect my face.
Hell no!!
"See, that's why I am saying this. The first year should just surrender, go home and sleep."
Mogan swayed his hips and placed his finger on his cheek, speaking sweetly.
"Brother Ian and Brother Issac, you shouldn't demean the first years like that. Our class won easily because we had the opposing power to that spirit."
"Shut up! Did we ask for your opinion?"Both Ian and Issac shouted, making Mogan step back with a teary expression.
"Stop it guys!"Lara stepped forward to intervene.
"Wu…Wu…..Wu.Sister Lara."
"The first years aren't that bad." Lara spoke while calming Mogan who wiped his tears.
Thinking about Issac's words, she pitied the first year students.
Getting targeted by an ancient remnant of Ice Spirit was really bad luck.
From the stories Lara heard, defeating it was too difficult. The reason for it to appear if the participant count reached 100 was due to a myth that the grade of students reaching 100 in this round would play an important role in the future and this trial is the precursor of the future event to see how would they react when their hope is crushed, they are morally killed and face against an enemy that they can't defeat by normal means.
However.....
The Ice Spirit met its worst match throughout its history during their time.
If it was alive, it could cry and sob in agony with the way it was beaten brutally.
They didn't even need the whole class.
Julian by herself can beat the shit out of this spirit if she went into full aggro without caring about the consequences as she just had to snatch the control of Ice power with her ability.
Using a great amount of mana, Julian can directly control the Ice Spirit's body and destroy its core due to her Ice ability.
In the case of Issac, he needs to overpower it with his firepower which is a bit difficult but still he can give it a run for its life.
However, if you think Julian and Issac are the only monsters the Third Year has, then you are wrong.
There are many monsters in that group. Though they started out ordinary, each of them turned into a menace. Each President of a Club was a foe to contend with.
Ian, who was considered as Dead Eye Ian, was known for his agility and ruthlessness. When they were in their first year, if one didn't have a strong family background, one couldn't even lift his head and walk freely inside the academy.
But under Julian's leadership and Ian's terror things started changing. The bullying had lessened a bit and now it only happens in the background unlike before when you can see senior bullying junior in the open field.
Lara, thinking for a moment, turned towards Mogan who flattered Issac and Ian by trying to be cute which sent a chill down their spine.
Honestly, his actions were quite disgusting and one may wonder how this guy managed to stay alive.
As people would surely went for a kill thinking that he was an easy target to bully.
But when it comes to Mogan.
She can only say that this guy is beyond a monster.
No, even that term feels inferior when used on him.
He may look like a sissy girl but once he fights, you can only pray that you aren't crushed into dead meat.
Thinking for a moment, Lara asked,"What do you think this year's students lack?
"In everything. There is no one worth paying attention to." Isaac replied arrogantly.
"Firepower, their attacks aren't strong enough to pierce its defences."Mogan suggested.
"They lack team play. Their coordination is quite off. Except for a handful, everyone seems to be doing their own thing instead of cooperating with one another," Ian muttered, clicking his tongue, and seeing them rushing to get the first strike like fools.
"Idiots! You can only get points if you defeat it."
"Except Frederick, Rose, Morgana, Charles, I don't think others are holding that well," Lara commented though she was a bit embarrassed as she knew many juniors in the first year.
"Frederick, that filthy blood. He is just a piece of shit. Look for that Ezekiel guy, he will surely steal the prey. Though he is below subpar in my eyes at least he is better than that dirty blood. " Issac sneered.
"That Charles and Frederick look top-notch." Mogan spoke, wiping his drool.
Ian rubbed his chin for a few moments. He had spotted a few hidden gems but out of all of them, he saw 1one guy who had great potential.
"Keep an eye on that Parth. His skills are quite honest. Except him, there is another one."Ian didn't state that person's name but just stared at Julian who was watching the fight with a serious expression.
"Hey, Julian, say something. Stop standing like a statue!"Lara shouted.
"They lack a strategist.No more than that they lack a leader." Julian answered.
"That's correct. I still remember how you and I led these groups of mongrels to win. That was the best moment of the year."Issac cast a cheeky smile and started pressing his thoughts.
"I regret joining sides with you."Julian cut him off.
"You will regret it more if you keep going on like that and support a punny fellow who is hiding behind in fear."Issac's tone became cold and his eyes were a bit threatening on noticing Julian's gaze lingering on a certain person.
"Hmm! His win in the Battle Royal was a fluke. He is just living under your shade. At least Frederick's blood is half dirty, however, this guy is pure filth. How long can you protect him?"Ian smiled sinisterly
"Do you think I fear your threat?"Julian's cold aura erupted, freezing the entire atmosphere.
Issac's hair stood up and his white hair became orange as his body erupted with flame.
"Guys, keep it down."
"Sister Julian, Brother Issac calm down."
Ian ignored them and dazed off closing his eyes.
It's their regular routine. There is nothing to be surprised about.
Julian and Issac took back their aura.
Julian snorted and kept on looking ahead.
In her eyes, there was only one person.
Who seemed to be sitting leisurely and muttering to himself.
'What the hell is this guy doing here in the back.'
'This man! He is the weirdest of the bunch.'
As soon as her thought fell, under her and others' surprised eyes, the boy suddenly stood up and stretched his back with a yawn, disappearing right before their eyes.
.....
Death!
It was the word that popped out into everyone's eyes as they looked at the Ice Witch.
Frederick, imagining the consequences of letting the Ice Witch cast such an attack, immediately used his bloodline power.
His veins bulged and lightning flickered from his body.
Channelling his strength to his legs, Frederick stomped the ground forming a crack and propelled his body towards the Ice Witch to intervene with the attack.
The world in his vision turning blue and slowed down.
Frederick didn't use Time Dilation for long for fear of exhausting his mana and with a flash charged at the Ice Witch and stabbed with his spear.
The Ice Witch let out a startled sound seeing Frederick appearing before it in an instant.
BOOOM!
A fierce shock wave burst and Frederick's hands trembled feeling a repealing force. The Ice Witch at the last moment extended its hand to form many layers of ice to protect itself that blocked Frederick's spear.
Frederick's body stiffened as his spear got stuck in ice layers.
"Shit!"
Frederick knew what was coming, and immediately turned to leave.
Spells were bombarded over the Ice Witch to allow Frederick to escape.
However, at that moment the cold wave that had finally reached its maximum along with the deepening despair in Frederick's eyes drove all the participants into the door of death.
The cold radiated with a chilling blast dispensing everything on sight.
At that, a figure flickered out from shadow right before everyone eyes and a cold voice echoed suppressing everything.
"Devour!"
Before the blast could hit everyone, a pillar of light drew everyone's attention.
The Frozen cavity suddenly turned bright red reflecting rays of blood coloured light painting the vicinity in blood.
Frederick's eyes shone in cautiousness, seeing Lucas appearing before him.
"Be careful..."
Frederick, who was about to spit out warning words, stood still without being able to mutter anything seeing Lucas' movements.
The cold blast before everyone's eyes was sucked in and condensed over Lucas's sword which was burning brightly.
After devouring a part of the cold mana, Lucas pushed forward and slashed, colliding with the cold air.
BOOOOM!
A huge amount of water vapour that clouded the entire cavity emitted a huge blast radiating all around.
The power of slash directly tore the remaining cold wave.
A crimson flicker illuminated the surroundings and a shockwave rippled across Lucas.
The bright red sword slash exploded like a bomb consuming the mana of the cold attack of Ice remnants and drawing a straight line, shot to the place where the remnants of Ice Witch was present.
