The Greatest Sinner

After Evan had defeated three outstanding students in a row, no one dared to fight him. For them, today's event was something unreal. Of course, after every intake, there always were outstanding students who were shining like bright stars. But Evan was more like a black hole. He'd attracted a lot of attention with his strength, but almost no one wanted to fight him.

Evan looked around and said: "Since that's it, it's time to call it a day." Said Evan and was about to pick up his money and leave when a girl in a yellow mantle with a black frame jumped into the arena.

She had short green hair and gray eyes. Her gaze was confident, and when the girl released her aura, many of the students felt intense pressure.

At that moment, Evan thought, <Hmm, she reminds me of someone...>.

The girl came up to Evan and said: "My name is Freya Cross. I thought my sister would be the best in this set of students, but someone stronger and bolder showed up."

<Freya Cross...so she's a member of the Cross Family, I have to admit she looks a lot like Fane. Same hair color and same gray eyes>.

Evan knew that the girl in front of him was brave, and she was definitely very strong. Moreover she was an Amplifier, which meant she was perfectly capable of one-on-one combat.

"I want to say something right away. I'm not fighting you because of your behavior or other nonsense, the last two idiots said. I'm strong, you're strong too, and that's why I want to kick your ass."

Whoosh.

At the same moment, Freya attacked Evan. She threw a straight punch aiming at Evan's stomach, and the young man reacted quickly and blocked that punch.

<Damn it, I was able to block her punch, but the ice on my hands has cracked because of just one of her punches. Does it just seems me, or she is even stronger than Chloe?>

Evan was surprised. He looked at Freya and said: "Wait, I think our fight will be interesting to more than just the two of us. Let's give people a few minutes to place their bets."

Freya smiled, "Well, I don't like to wait, but your words make sense, one minute."

There was real chaos in the stands among the spectators. They were betting like crazy, each of them wanting to make a fortune and earn "Moon Coins."

After exactly one minute, the student in charge of taking bets said loudly: "Freya Cross - 100,000 "Moon Coins," Evan Lynch - 85,000 'Moon Coins".

To everyone's surprise, the odds were almost even. Even Evan didn't expect him to get nearly as much as Freya.

Freya smiled and mouthed: "Since you've already used a few spells and those chains have sucked a decent amount of mana out of you, I won't be using many spells."

"Oh, what generosity..." Rolling his eyes, Evan replied.

Whoosh.

Freya's "Warp" swirled, and her hands were quickly coated with a layer of metal.

"Well, let's get started!" The girl said loudly and swiftly attacked Evan.

The blow wasn't swift, but it was unusually powerful. Evan felt as if a huge hammer was hurtling toward him, not the girl's fist.

Evan reacted quickly and dodged the blow: <If she hits me, I'll definitely be seriously injured, though her speed leaves a lot to be desired. I think it's not without problems, but I'll be able to handle her.>

Evan thought and attacked back. Freya was right, he really didn't have much mana left, just for a couple of spells, so he decided to fight her as two Amplifiers.

Evan decided not to use his scythe for one simple reason - Freya was vastly superior to him in terms of physical strength, which meant she could wait out the moment and grab Evan's weapon. It would be difficult for him to get it back, and thus he put himself by her hit, so he decided to fight hand-to-hand. Evan liked fighting with a scythe, but that didn't mean his fists were weaker.

Bam.

The girl didn't dodge and just blocked Evan's punch, followed by her turning around and kicking Evan. The young man easily bounced to the side, thereby avoiding the blow.

<Darn it, I can't get closer, what shall I do...>.

While Evan was trying to think of a plan of action, Freya cast two more spells. Unlike Evan, she only had the spells of the "Amplification Magic" in her arsenal, and when she used a few of them, she became practically invincible.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

The wind swirled around Freya's legs, and her speed increased dramatically. Now she was not only strong but also fast. With just one spell, she got rid of her fatal flaw.

The girl lunged toward Evan and began to attack him with all her might. Evan didn't have time to dodge, so he put his arms out in front of him and tried to block those formidable blows.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

In just a few attacks, Freya's fists destroyed the layer of ice on Evan's hands. Realizing he couldn't go on like this, Evan decided to retreat. But as soon as he took a step back, an iron fist slammed into his stomach.

The young man vomited blood, but this blow was followed by another - a kick to his side. Evan didn't have time to defend himself against it and flew back several meters. Only two blows, but he was already badly hurt.

<I definitely have one or even two broken ribs, and if I get a couple more blows to the stomach, my organs will turn into a bloody mess.>

"AHAHAHAHAHA, are you surprised? Guy, you're powerful, but you're not the only one in this world acting brave and tough. In fact, your only chance to beat me is to enter the "Gust," but I doubt you'll be able to do it now. It's impossible to control. Can you still fight?" Smiling, Freya said.

Evan got to his feet in silence. Drops of blood were falling to the ground, but he was still able to fight. Though, he didn't fully understand what he had to do to win. Freya turned out to be an opponent that was out of his league right now.

Freya looked at Evan and shouted: "I think the outcome of this fight is already decided, so I'll show you something last. And all of you, who are watching our fight, observe! Evan, this spell will take all my remaining mana, so try not to die."

Evan and the students watching the fight didn't understand what Freya was talking about, but the girl began to act the next moment.

Her "Warp" furiously spun, and a huge amount of mana began to disappear from it rapidly. All that mana was channeled into the cast of one single spell.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

Streams of wind swirled around Freya and dispersed throughout the arena. It was like an actual tornado.

"The spell I'm casting now is the "Seal of Pegasus." It's the "Spell of the Seal." Freya explained.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

The next moment all the wind was at the girl's feet, and it quickly turned into a black seal with the image of a Pegasus.

Suddenly, Freya's figure blurred, and the next moment she was next to Evan. Her incredible speed even created wind currents. She attacked Evan swiftly, and the young man had no time to react to her blow.

Bam. Crack.

There were several cracks in Evan's chest, and he flew off into the arena wall like a bullet. This blow was even stronger than the previous ones, as Freya became many times faster. "Seal of Pegasus" was a formidable and powerful spell, but it was a definite risk. After all, an excessive amount of mana had to be spent to cast it.

<Fuck, fuck, fuck, It looked like I was going to be turned into a pancake. I can't even see her moves, shit!>

Of course, Evan could defeat Freya, but he had to use the power of demons to do so, and he couldn't do something like that right in the Academy.

Evan looked at Freya and then at the audience and felt himself very strange. At the exact second, a golden glint flashed in Evan's eyes.

<Why do I feel like they're barely moving?>
