Responding to my mocking words with a fierce expression, Liam gripped his sword higher before running straight at me.
I could already tell that stamina of his was going to get annoying real quick.
Letting a smirk creep onto my face, I tried something new with my daggers as instead of crossing my daggers to form an "X," I formed a triangle with no base, allowing the tips of each dagger to touch.
Yesterday had been a really bad day.
I had intended to rob a vault to get a load of magical artifacts that could seriously help me in the future and increase my current strength.
However, I had ended up saving the entire academy and capital city.
Robber to secret hero...what a change of events.
While I was exhausted from saving millions of people and penniless, the main cast was probably receiving a shit load of presents from the principal as they had helped her.
I knew I couldn’t complain, but I was still pissed.
It was like seeing that one kid who did no work on a school group project get an A+ while you somehow only got an A-.
As Liam reached me, I instantly helped up my daggers in preparation for a sword strike; however, Liam didn’t immediately attack me and instead side-stepped to the right.
It seemed he was planning to focus on my left dagger.
And although my right dagger would be free to attack if he did that, I was sure he had some sort of counterattack prepped in case I did that again.
Not sure what to do, I stepped forward into the empty space where Liam had been previously.
From the outside, it must have looked like a cartoon scene.
Both of us were right next to each other, our shoulders almost touching, yet we were looking in opposite directions.

We were parallel to each other.
The protagonist of the world, and me, an extra.
In unison, both of us turned to face each other, my eyes meeting his.
As Liam raised his sword from his side, intending to hit a quick jab at me, I created the triangle formation with my daggers right in front of my chest.
Then, as Liam plunged his sword forward, I made a small gap between the tips of my daggers and charged it right at Liam’s sword.
Maybe this was cheating, but I honestly didn’t care.
This fight would go on until class ended as Liam’s infinite stamina ability, which was a passive trait, was just way too overpowered.
While I would be exhausted and aching, Liam could infinitely attack me without worrying about his reflexes slowing down or getting tired.
Without raising a finger to my eyes, I smiled, focusing all my attention on my right eye instead of an incoming attack.
At that moment, time suddenly slowed as Liam’s sword halted as it rapidly approached my daggers.
Seeing Liam’s slow and open figure, I contemplated just taking him with my ability before dismissing the idea.
If I did that, Liam would obviously know that I had used one of my abilities as I would just disappear and reappear behind him in his eyes.
Then, the fight would probably escalate into a real one as Liam would also start using all his skills and abilities.
From there, things could go terribly.
Thus, I simply glanced down at Liam’s sword before slowly moving daggers toward them.
Finally, I made a triangle with my daggers; however, in the middle of both my dagger’s tips was Liam’s sword.
With each of my dagger’s tips touching one side of Liam’s sword, I refocused my attention, allowing time to resume.
In Liam’s eyes, it would just look like I had reacted insanely fast and managed to pinsir his sword with my daggers.
Though it would look insane from Liam’s point of view, I doubted that he would think I had used one of my abilities.
As time resumed to normal, I easily halted the momentum of Liam’s swords by pushing my daggers together, forcing Liam’s sword, which was in the middle of them, to stop.
Liam, shocked that his sword had been stopped, attempted to withdraw it; however, my daggers were holding it back.
Then, without any hesitation, I suddenly yanked Liam’s sword to me.

Although the sword didn’t fall out of his hands as his grip had been tight enough, he did stagger forward.
Smiling, I removed my daggers from beside his sword, freeing it, and took that moment to plunge both of them forward.
Shocked and defenseless, Liam could only watch as my wooden dagged crashed into his staggering figure, instantly sending him backward.
Not giving him any time to restabilize his body, I lunged forward and jabbed both my daggers at him again.
*BANG*
Not able to withstand the barrage of my sudden dagger attacks, Liam fell to the ground, still gripping his sword.
As Liam took one last sword slash at me while sitting on the ground, I instantly created an "X" with my daggers and held it to the right of my body.
When Liam’s sword collided with my "X," I instantly sidestepped, freeing my daggers, and stepped forward.
Before he could do anything else, I charged my right dagger forward before stopping it and allowing it to hover right before his neck.
With my dagger a centimeter from his neck, I made eye contact with his sitting figure before saying.
"It’s over."
* (Third-Person)
Though Liam and Ren hadn’t managed to see it as they had been too focused on their fight, a large crowd had gathered to watch them fight.
After all, it wasn’t every day that you got to see the number one ranked student and the rising battle-royale star of the academy fight.
However, their expectations for the fight...had been surpassed by far.
The last exchange, when Ren had managed to take Liam to the ground and subdue them, had nearly sent the students into a frenzy.
However, out of respect for Liam and the amazing fight, the crowd remained silent, not throwing out any cheers.
Would they have done the same if Ren had been on the losing side?
Staring at them, Ren muttered.
"I guess we’ll never know."
