The Mysterious Black Magician

Roberto Arturo took a ring artifact. After activating it by feeding his mana into it, the ring turned to armor. The armor had a simple design. It was a light type armor that was usually used for fighters who had high agility.

This armor did not only increase his defense but also increased his agility by 20 percent. With this, he believed he was faster than his opponent now.

"Bastard turtle!" He roared while rushing like the wind to his enemy. To further increase his speed, he summoned a wind element on his feet. Then his figure shot like a blurred shadow.

Wielding in his hand was a shining sword with one edge.

It only took him a split second to traverse the distance between him and Yman. He swung his sword right away to cut the imbecile opponent.

However, the opponent was still able to evade it! Roberto Arturo frowned as he believed he was faster enough.

Yman, on the other hand, didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this opponent. Did this guy haven't watch his match against Jugo? 

After evading Roberto Arturo's attack, Yman followed up with a kick. It connected to his face.

Roberto Arturo was sent back, skidded on the floor once again. Blood dripped from his mouth and nose. He wiped it using the back of his hand. Then he stared at Yman with both knitted brows and annoyed expressions. Without wasting time, he took another potion. However, before he could drink it, the bottle exploded and the liquid in it splattered on his face.

A pulse cross-shaped appeared on Roberto Arturo's face.

This dumbass would not even let him drink it! He shouted in his mind.

But, he cried out when he was hit on his shoulder by something. Before Roberto Arturo could figure out what it was, another one struck on the opposite shoulder.

Ugh! He groaned.

Then his opponent fired more and more. Roberto Arturo was hit on every part of his body. On top of that, most of them were focused on his limbs.

The only thing that Roberto Arturo could do at this moment was nothing but endure the pain. He already lost the strength to lift his hand. Even his legs lost strength. His opponent was hitting the exposed part of his body.

Though at the moment, Yman was frowning. He didn't approve of his accuracy. It still needs a lot of improvement. His dexterity was still low.

The audience was staring with wide eyes. It was the first time they saw such an attack. Reflected in their eyes the crimson-colored object that the participant Crimson was firing through flicking with his fingers.

How did he do it? Most of them have the same questions. Whenever he flicked his finger, an object came flying like a stone. Although they never saw him picking a stone, it must be made through mana.

If not only because of the Photonocules, Roberto Arturo would be bloodied all over by now.

Whenever Roberto Arturo tried to move, another crimson object came flying to pierce his exposed body parts.

Dammit! What the hell does that idiot do?! Useless! Inside the Waiting Hall, Kiko was gnashing his teeth while cursing under his breath.

Before the start of Yman and Roberto Arturo's match, he secretly made a deal with Arturo. He handed him the Divine Sinner's Blood that he bought from a mysterious dealer.

Kiko wasn't an idiot to let himself be the specimen of that dangerous elixir. He told Arturo that it was an elixir that could boost his power to an unimaginable increase.

Roberto Arturo was the type of person who hates losing, so Kiko knew that even if he disagreed with him, he would still use it whenever he found himself in an unfavorable situation.

However, the current situation was just… shit!

It was the only kind of situation that could avoid Arturo from using the elixir.

Kiko wanted to punish Yman by using Roberto Arturo.

"This f**king Arturo! If he only drank the medicine beforehand, He would never be in such a situation now!" Kiko groaned inwardly. 

Dammit!

He wondered if Yman did it on purpose. But it was impossible. He probably was just lucky. With the current situation, there was no way for Roberto Arturo to fight back. He was like a live target for the frog. Who would have thought that this frog was capable of such a long-range attack!

With this, Kiko understood that the frog's physical strength was beyond his initial estimation. If he was capable of such a destructive flick. Then his strength was already beyond the first stage. Prolly, his strength was as strong as the False Path Expert. Kiko believed so.

He needed to revise his plan against Yman.

There was no way for Arturo to win now. Even if he asked his deity to pilot his body, it was still useless, he was already stationary. The frog did a good job of piercing his limbs. Roberto Arturo could only crawl now. It was better for him to give up. Kiko thought upon noticing the expression on Yman's face.

That expression on his face was the expression of someone without mercy towards his opponents. He probably intended to torture Roberto Arturo from the start. This frog was so heartless!

As an aspiring hero who was destined for greatness, he needed to be the one to destroy this villainous frog.

Kiko shook his head. He had high expectations of Roberto Arturo, but it seemed like Roberto Arturo's strength was so low. He probably focused on increasing his agility. Regardless, the frog wasn't only about strength. Even his speed was worth noting.

Tsk! 

He did not expect that this frog had improved to this extent for just a little time. How did he do it? Kiko asked in his mind. No matter how he thought about it, there was just no way to improve in that minimum time.

Perhaps this frog got a chance of an artifact that enabled him to improve his strength and agility to such an extent.

Tsk! This is bad if this keeps going. He wasn't afraid of Yman, actually. Kiko still believed that he was stronger than Yman. But he wasn't an idiot. Even though he believed he was stronger, it didn't mean that he would neglect his opponent's strength. Although it wasn't written on his face, Kiko was actually a cautious person. Without waiting for the end of the match, Kiko walked out of the Waiting Hall. There was no point in waiting until the end of the match. It was already clear who would be the winner.

Roberto Arturo could not revert the match anymore. If only he drank the Divine Sinner's Blood, there might be a big chance for him to win. But regardless, there was no point regretting it now.

Upon seeing Kiko walk away, his friends followed after him.

Just as Kiko said, there was no chance for Roberto Arturo to revert the match. In the end, he was tortured by Yman by slowly depleting his health points, causing more pain to him.

Roberto Arturo gave up in the end. He could not bear the pain any longer.

Even the audience had a chill run down their spine as they were watching the state of Roberto Arturo. They believed it was a wise decision that he gave up the match.

In the end, Yman won in an overbearing performance. Be it with chakrams, speed, or strength, he dominated all these categories. The scary delinquent of section A had become an easy target of a student from the lowest section. Everyone could not believe it.

Finally, the third elimination round ended. Only few participants were left for the fourth elimination round.

Yman won two times in the round, all in an overwhelming performance.

With this victory of his, most students from the elite class were now wary of him. He was now one of their competitors. His strength, speed, and his strange way of invoking his mana, all of these, they needed to prepare for them.

"Leader, Is your boyfriend always that strong," asked Jami with an innocent face. She had no direct opposition towards Yman. Jami was more focused on her training than minding everyone else's business.

But, she heard many things about Yman. Most of those were of course bad. That's why she was baffled as to why the others were mocking him even though he was this strong.

Unbeknown to Jami, Almina's mind is already in the cloud after hearing the word boyfriend from her.

"W-what are you saying, Jami. Hehe!" Almina giggled while touching her blushing face with both hands.

"....."

Maena and Kesha sighed at the same time towards Almina.

After the third elimination, every student went back to training, especially those from the lower section. Their motivation was those guys in the lowest section. If even they were able to win against those strong opponents, then they too could probably do it as well.

Maybe they just needed more training or learned new abilities that are unique to them.

While everyone was busy training, Yman had to comply with his promise. He lost the bet.. So he had to accompany Keremi.
