Reincarnated With A System Of Different Genre

Chapter 89: Caught Up In Some Plot

Skyla slowly rose into the air while glaring at Caelum coldly.

RIP!

The back portion of her uniform tore apart slightly as a pair of golden draconic wings suddenly emerged from behind her.

At the same time, two small golden horns appeared upon her forehead while faint invisible scales spread across portions of her arms.

The atmosphere within the arena changed instantly.

Even the surrounding students became silent.

Then the horns shining atop her head suddenly released intense golden energy.

BOOOOM!

A concentrated beam shot directly toward Caelum at terrifying speed.

Caelum barely managed to dodge it by a hair’s breadth.

The golden energy tore through the arena wall behind him and exploded violently in the distance.

"Damn..." Caelum muttered while stabilizing himself.

At the same time, his eyes shone brightly as he sensed the overwhelming change occurring within Skyla.

’So she really possesses a dragon bloodline... And a Golden Dragon bloodline at that...!’

Caelum subconsciously gave Catherine a glance.

’Aunt is honestly way too wild...’

The moment that thought crossed his mind, Catherine looked toward him as she somehow sensed he had mentally talked about her.

The Valor family was already famous throughout the Empire for their mastery over light-based techniques and magic.

However, a dragon descendant suddenly appearing within their bloodline was a bit... crazy! And not just any dragon.

A Golden Dragon.

Caelum did not believe Skyla was simply a Dragon Contractor either.

The physical transformations currently occurring to her body were far too natural.

Such changes generally only occurred after a contractor deeply strengthened their own bloodline through synchronization.

And Golden Dragons were among the proudest dragons to exist.

There was absolutely no way one of them would casually share blood that easily.

Meanwhile, Skyla’s golden eyes locked onto him again.

Without hesitation, Caelum immediately retrieved his sword before leaping into the air.

Then his Qi erupted.

[Heaven Dominating Divine Sword Art] — First Form

[Heaven Transcending Slash]

A terrifying blue slash exploded outward while sharp Sword Qi tore through the atmosphere itself.

Skyla responded immediately.

Using [Telekinesis], her lance shot upward from the ground directly into her hand.

Then the weapon glowed brilliantly gold before releasing a massive beam of condensed light.

BOOOOOOM!

The slash and beam collided violently in midair.

Shockwaves spread throughout the arena while cracks appeared across portions of the stage.

Before the aftermath even settled, Skyla flapped her wings and instantly arrived near Caelum.

At the same time, she used [Light’s Veil], concealing herself through distortion and light manipulation.

Unfortunately for her, someone suddenly grabbed her leg.

"What—?!"

Before Skyla could react, she was violently slammed directly into the arena floor.

BAAANG!

The entire stage cracked beneath the impact.

Skyla coughed while staring upward in shock.

She had clearly seen Caelum standing before her moments ago.

Then how was he suddenly beneath her instead?

The Caelum standing nearby dissolved into water.

"Isn’t this amazing?" the real Caelum asked arriving near her.

This was the [Water Clone Art] he had purchased from the system.

Although his mastery over the technique remained relatively low and had only reached Minor Mastery, it still worked perfectly as a decoy in combat.

Skyla gritted her teeth while trying to stand, but Caelum’s sword was already resting against her neck.

"So? Will you admit defeat now?"

Floating above the arena, Catherine blinked slightly.

"Oh my? This ended much faster than I expected."

Despite saying that, she still did not declare Caelum’s victory immediately as if waiting for something to happen.

Meanwhile, Skyla herself had completely frozen.

’I... lost?’

Her thoughts became chaotic.

How could she lose?

She was a proud member of the Valor family.

A genius possessing Golden Dragon bloodline.

Throughout her entire life, she had never once lost to someone within her age group, whether it was brains or brawls.

And now, before she could even fully unleash her strength, she had already been defeated.

Complex emotions erupted within her mind simultaneously.

Frustration.

Disbelief.

Humiliation.

Anger.

Then, her eyes turned completely golden.

A terrifying light erupted from her body while the surroundings began trembling violently.

ROOOOAAAAARRRRR—!

A draconic roar echoed throughout the arena.

At the same time, overwhelming dragon aura exploded outward from Skyla’s body and blasted everything nearby away.

’DA FAK DYNASTY?!’ Caelum screamed internally.

The moment the draconic aura struck him, his Qi became unstable instantly.

Not only was he being suppressed physically, but even mentally.

It felt as though an enormous invisible force was hammering directly against his brain while attempting to force him downward.

’Do we seriously need to fight this far? Can’t she just accept defeat normally?!’

Caelum tightened his grip around his sword.

A dangerous pressure slowly spread throughout the arena.

Just as he prepared to unleash the Third Form, Catherine’s voice suddenly echoed across the battlefield.

"Alright, the duel is over."

She waved her hand once and the terrifying draconic aura surrounding Skyla disappeared entirely.

"Caelum wins by default."

The next moment, Skyla collapsed onto the arena floor unconscious with a loud thud.

For a brief moment, the entire arena became silent.

"WOOOAAAHHHH—!"

Bonjour’s excited yell echoed throughout the duel arena as he loudly cheered for Caelum’s victory.

Meanwhile, the surrounding students still looked stunned.

The genius of their Intermediate Division, the daughter of the Principal herself had just lost to a boy from a rival school.

Although the two Schools operated separately, they still followed nearly identical educational structures.

And within The Sky School’s Intermediate Division, Skyla Valor was considered the absolute strongest student.

Yet now, she had been defeated publicly before everyone.

The atmosphere throughout the arena became extremely strange afterward.

Some students looked shocked.

A few appeared completely traumatized.

Then suddenly, a young man with golden hair appeared within the arena.

His appearance resembled Skyla slightly, making their relationship rather obvious immediately.

Without saying a word, he carried Skyla carefully into his arms before preparing to take her toward the infirmary.

However, before leaving, he gave Caelum an extremely cold look.

A look filled with the clear emotion of ’You are finished.’

Then he departed silently alongside Skyla.

Caelum immediately became dumbfounded.

At that moment, he was completely certain about one thing.

He had definitely been dragged into some kind of terrifying plot unknowingly.

There was absolutely no other explanation.

And judging from the look Catherine was currently giving him from above, Caelum had only one sincere thought remaining within his heart.

’I just want to go back to my own school.’
