"Enough!"
I stop my rampage and looked towards where the voice came from.
"Killing him won’t satisfy your bloodlust." A feminine voice said.
My eyes fell upon a gorgeous women of oily black skin. Her dress consisted of a white sleeveless undershirt with a dark red over-shirt. Her pants were that of black and seemed a little baggy but seemed to be of the comfort type.
Her eyes honey yellow, lips red with blood color lipstick and finally her long orange hair were tied up in one long ponytail. I quickly spotted a long sheath at her shoulder, suggesting a long sword as her main weapon.
"Might telling me who the fuck you are?" I ask.
The women tilted her head and gave me a dangerous smile, one that a monster would give to its prey, "Me?... I’m your examiner."
Her young face told me she was somewhere around 23 to 25 years old.
I let go of Avis and he fell on the sand enacting a groan.
"You want to take this piece of shit away?... Color me wrong, I kinda had the thought that you were a good person."
The slight fall had a small reaction in his head, as Avis drowsily woke up. His wavy vision seemed disillusioned before he saw the somewhat clear look of the women and whispered, "marva…"
’Marva?’ My brow went up in confusion. The name forming a characteristic profile in my mind.
The other scared examiner quickly went beside her, "Marva, you’ve got to help us. That guy…" He pointed at me as I crossed my hands and looked thoroughly at the woman, "No, that monster! He… he’s going to kill Avis and he would kill me too!"
Hearing the guy’s words, Marva sighed, "How can say all that so shamelessly?"
"Huh?"
"After what you did to that boy, how can you ask for me to help you?" Marva looked at the examiner with a dead-pan look.

"The other boy…" The examiner’s eyes widened as he remembered, "Bu- But it wasn’t me, it was Avi-"
"It might as well been you!" Marva barked at him, "You are an examiner! You’re supposed to observe and serve the rules and yet you bend your knee to it. You should be ashamed."
The examiner looked down in shame, "I- I wanted to, but Avis… you know how he gets when he finds someone… easy."
"You mean weak, huh!" Marva’s glare made the guy want to dig his head in the sand, "If it weren’t for that boy coming to warn me, you might have been dead by the time I would come."
Her words made him shocked, "That boy told you?"
"Yes… the same boy that you were going to let die, is the same one who saved your sorry ass." Marva shook her head, "I’m not gonna waist my precious time with you idiots."
Her eyes then focused on me, "I know that piece of shit deserves to die more than what you know. But that’s not on your hands. You can’t kill him because of justice nor because you just want to inflict pain on him."
My face remained thoughtful as I said, "So you want to save him then?"
"Yeah… as much as that bothers me doing so I still have to." Marva said, "But I won’t let him get away from this… he will face justice for this and many others."
I nod slowly, "You say as if he’s already yours… why do you think that?"
Marva smiled, "You would be foolish if you think you can stop me from getting him. Especially with that look of yours, I can already see that you want to do the same to me as you did to him."
Her eyes darkened farther, "You might even be worse than Avis. At least he preys on the weak, but you’ll inflict pain on anyone you see fit."
Before I could say my next words, her body flashed in bright white flash before her figure vanished for a second and reappeared again. This time, under her lay Avis, somewhat conscious.
Looking down, I see that he was indeed gone.
"Light Sigmat."
Marva smiled, "You’re quick to realize that. Anybody else who saw my Sigmat always thinks that its lightning. Seems you already encountered someone with the same Sigmat before."
I shake my head, "Nope, this is my first."
"You’re first!" Her eyes widened for a brief second before regaining back to their cautionary state, "As oppose to what happened with Avis, I’ll forgive you doing this to him and even let you pass the exam if you let this go."
Hearing her, Avis groaned weakly, "no… how can you let him go that easily, Marva?"
As an answer, Marva kicked him in the head, making him unconscious again, "Shut up! This happened because of you, don’t even think about me avenging your shitty existence!" Then quickly her eyes focused back on me, "So… what will it be?"
"Let this go, huh?" I seemed as if I was going to accept it but then my face cracked and I smiled wickedly, "Fuck no! How can I ever let such a fantastic opportunity of fighting a Valkyrie go from my hands!"
Hearing that, Marva smiled, "It seems you know about me."
"Of course I do. Marva Celeste, the 7th Valkyrie of the Leonidas Army. Known for her lightning quick reflexes and deadly acrobatic skills." My remark made her laugh out loud.
"Hahaha haha… It actually makes me glad that I’m famous enough for you to recall that." Her quirky expression steeled fast, "But my question remains… are you really not going to let this go?"
"My answer remains the same lady." I too steeled my expression.
Marva sighed, "It seems I have to make another idiot understand the meaning between brute strength and experience."
She jumped forward, weapon drawn and running straight at me. Her speed was nowhere what she displayed before but she was still very fast.
Within two seconds, she closed the distance between her and me. Then using her long and needle like sword, she stabbed at me.
This time was different from Avis, I couldn’t just hit the sword out of her. It was too thin and she was way too experienced for her to change the direction of her sword, making me miss.
So I let her hit me.
The sword easily stabbed through me and its end penetrated through my back. Blood slowly dripping from its pin like end as her attack did its damage.
Marva for a second felt shocked, her eyes widening for the briefest moment before she smiled.
"Well… I didn’t think it was going to be that easy."
"You think it’s over huh."
My words made her look up at me, confused. My face didn’t look like someone who was stabbed by a 3-and-a-half-inch steel blade.
I looked down, a smile of crazed permanence on me as I said, "Get ready now."
"What the fuc-"
Her words got struck in her throat as my full powered fist hit her right on the stomach. Shooting her straight through the sky before she descended with a crash on a sandy place, far away.
"Bang!"
The sound of the crash was heard from where I stood. Avis and the other examiner looked ghastly pale with despair at my counterattack.

At the crash site, the sandy dust moved away, showing a clear image of Marva over the squashed body of some scorpion monsters. Her body lay still and blood poured from her mouth as she smiled.
"Round two."
