Legendary Soul Art

Luna's insult caused the crowd to gasp and everyone immediately backed away which formed a large empty circle around the two parties. The fight could break out at any moment and they didn't want to be in the middle of a playfield.

"I see, so that's what we are calling it these days," the female senior commented in laughter. "Anyone who wins against you is a cheater because there is no way the great Miss Luna could lose. Let me break the news to you. The world doesn't revolve around you and nothing you say will change the fact that you lost."

"Frankly speaking," the female senior continued. "I don't even see a reason why I should agree to fight you again. I already have a convincing win and no one will fault me for rejecting you. Maybe I would agree if you were a bit nicer but you went straight to insulting and I lost my mood to fight."

"Stop spitting so much shit out of your mouth and get inside the room. You cheated the first time by wanting a light sparring and then going for the kill. I won't let you trick me this time," Luna countered right away and walked towards the 50th room. "If you don't get inside, I will wait until you leave the Academy and kill you outside. You don't have a choice but to fight me again."

Everyone was taken aback by Luna's words and even Darius scratched his head. The female senior even turned to him with complaints. "Is the Academy going to allow such insults and threats? Academy Students are forbidden from killing each other even outside the Academy."

"Liss, the Academy is paying you to accept challenges from the new students. If you reject Luna, I will inform the Academy Officials in the Main Academy to take away your mission reward," Darius reminded simply. "Are you afraid a new student can defeat you? What would the Disciplinary Elder say? I'm sure he would kick you out of the Disciplinary Guard."

Liss frowned deeply at the clear bias for Luna and gritted her teeth as she followed after Luna. "I'm happy I broke up with you. Hope you stay in the Selection Academy forever."

Number One almost spat out at the sudden reveal but Darius kept his cool. "Too bad, I'm going back to the main Academy next month. Hope you don't become a laughing stock by then. It would suck if someone learned my ex was beaten by a new student."

Only then did Number One realize that Darius was also a Student in the Academy at some point. He was at most in his early thirties so it probably wasn't that long ago since he became a teacher. One could choose to stay in the Academy after they reach thirty years old which was probably what happened.

"Don't worry, we are not going to reject your Challenge," Red Devil assured Number One as he pointed at the 49th training room. "There are other rooms free. Let's settle it right away as you said."

"Sit down Red Onion," Number One replied indifferently. "I'm still yet to eat breakfast and I want to watch Luna's fight. Are you that eager to enjoy each other?"

"We will enjoy beating you into a pulp!" Red Devil confirmed angrily which caused Number One to purse his lips. It was definitely not what he meant but he let Red Devil think whatever he wanted.

Nami covered her mouth as if trying to hide her cringe and pulled Number One towards the Cafeteria filled with food. She was the one who reminded him multiple times that he still didn't eat and she had to take him forcefully.

Number One had free access to all the food he wanted so they ordered multiple plates of food and sat at the table right across from the 50th training room. The other students didn't hesitate to clear the place for them even without asking.

"The fight is about to start!" Someone from the crowd shouted excitedly but Number One wasn't stopping the bite of the delicious chicken tenders in front of him.

The girls were standing at the opposite sides of the 50th training room and Number One only needed a single glance to know who was handling it better. Luna was standing steadily despite her body sweating while Liss was much worse with her legs shaking.

"Why are your legs trembling? Are you scared?" Luna asked sarcastically as she didn't hesitate to spawn her crimson Soul Sword. "Don't worry, it's just a light sparring like last time, right? We should take it easy this time too, right?"

Liss frowned deeply as she observed Luna's condition and she in turn withdrew a pill from her Storage Ring before popping it into her mouth. It was clear she needed some boost or she would lose to the 50th room instead of Luna.

'How come Luna's body is so strong?' Nami questioned in her mind as she fed Number One a spoon full of rice. 'Last time she tried she was barely able to stand. Is it because of the Body Revitalizing Pill?'

'Yup, she is still under the effects of the pill and it's providing her with energy,' Number One confirmed as he watched the battle closely. 'It won't last her long enough though. She needs to end it as soon as possible.'

Luna acted as if she heard their exchange and exclaimed, "Set up a timer. Ten seconds!"

[Time: 00:10.00]

"We fight when the timer hits zero," Luna explained and didn't give Liss more time to prepare. "Timer Start!"

Liss gritted her teeth as her legs slowly stopped trembling and she displayed her own long purple sword as well. Soul Weapons were usually the main strength of the Soul Artist and Luna seemed confident in her own skills.

Ding!

The timer went off after ten seconds and both ladies disappeared from their position. They were so fast that Number One found it hard to follow them. They clashed in the middle while bouncing their swords together and Liss immediately followed with a sneak attack from her free hand.

Purple Soul Energy burst out into Luna's face but the target vanished in a blink of an eye and Liss cried out right after. She fell on the floor with her black uniform cut from behind and her back bleeding profusely.

"You think you can use the same sneak attack twice?" Luna questioned as waited while preparing her elegant sword stance. "Get up. I'm not done with you."

Luna's eyes were giving off a red light as she stared her opponent down and Liss paled as she looked back. "You have Soul Vision!"
