More than two months had passed since the intense duel between Ken and Ben. As daybreak arrived, the sun slowly rose from the east, casting a warm glow over the academy and signaling the start of a new day.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of students heading towards their classrooms, a handso young man strolled leisurely, wearing a gentle smile on his face. At first glance, he may not have looked like a powerful swordsman, but any master swordsman who saw him would be taken aback by his hidden potential and skill. Despite his calm deanor, the young man was actually brimming with anticipation for the day ahead, eager to continue honing his abilities and pushing himself to new heights.
After all, every mont this boy lived was smooth and effortless.
People looked at him with envy, jealousy, respect, admiration, and more.
Most of the girls saw him as prey, with his handso face and friendly smile making him a lady killer.
His na was Ken, and like every other student, he was headed to class. However, a large guy with a bulky build blocked his path.
"Hey there, what's up, buddy?"
The big guy greeted him this way and tapped Ken on the shoulder. If it were anyone else in Ken's place, they might not have been able to bear it. But Ken just made a wary smile and shrugged.
"Are your wounds healed now?"
Upon hearing this question, a dark shadow montarily passed over Jas' face. However, like always, a goofy smile returned to his face.
As Jas boasted about his strength, Ken interrupted him before he could continue.
"Why were you absent for a few days?" Ken asked, curious about Jas' absence after being beaten by Emy.
"I can endure 100 matches with that barbarian girl," Jas replied, bragging about his ability. "It was just like sparring with so little puppy. Her soft blows just tickled . Hahahaha."
Ken's expression remained unchanged as he listened to Jas' boasting. He tilted his head, still curious about Jas' absence.
"Maybe it was a good chance to take a break," Jas replied nonchalantly. "You know how our class teacher can be cold-hearted. She didn't even give us a single holiday."
"Is that so?"
Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted their conversation, filled with a slight hint of murderous intent.
Ken and other people who were walking noticed this and stopped but Jas wasn't focused, he continued his bragging.
"Yes. Yes. Otherwise, do you think I, the Jas from Andre family got beaten up by so random girl? Nah, My defence is as solid as Mountain."
Confidence was flowing in his words.
"Hehe... then let break try to break that mountain."
A sa voice was heard this ti, but coldness in the voice was increased.
"Co on, I am rea--"
Hearing the challenge Jas turned around to see face of the challenger. However, just when he was going to complete his sentence and turned halfway, a fist touched his cheek.
Soon, Jas lost his balance and fell on his back.
"Ouch. It hurts."
Jas took a breather and stood up. A single punch wasn't enough to make him injured severely, still it hurt.
"Who was the bastard that sneaked attack on this ? I will crush you like ant. Fight like a true man. Don't be a coward. Answer . Who was it?"
Jas was furious. He shouted angrily.
"It's ."
Jas turned his face towards owner of the voice. His confidence and anger started crumbling.
"You want a fight, right? Looks like you forgot our last spar."
The owner of that voice was Amy. As Amy was coming towards Jas, he took a step back. He tried to say sothing but words didn't co out from his mouth.
"Oh, I heard that you weren't injured in our last fight. I am just so barbarian girl and my blows just tickled you. Let tickle you again then."
There was a gentle smile on Amy's face. But people can see clearly it was the smile of a devil.
"Nah, It was just a joke. Don't take it seriously. Right, Ken?"
Jas turned his face towards Ken, there was a pleading expression on Jas' face, signing him to help him. However, Amy was also staring at Ken at the sa ti.
Ken just made a wary smile.
He didn't want to lie to Amy but He can't see Jas getting beaten up like last ti. At the mont, like an angel's voice a sound ca.
"Hey, Jas and Amy drop this cody. Everyone is watching us like so clown. And if you keep this act we will be late for the lecture of the Combat teacher."
Eva tapped Amy's shoulder and gestured for her to stop.
Kevin and Jas both were relieved.
"Although I don't care about what others think. after all, I can beat them any ti. But we might get punished if we are late."
Saying this, Amy started walking with Eva.
But like she rembered sothing, she turned towards Jas and said.
"However, you gorilla. I will rember to spar with you in afternoon training."
After this, she again continued walking towards the classroom with Eva.
This was like a death sentence for Jas. He was trembling like he got an electric current.
"Don't worry, She won't beat you up severely this ti."
As a friend, Ken tried to assure Jas.
"Really?" Jas asked Ken in return.
"Might be." Hearing this, Jas was dejected.
"Hey, don't be sad. Let's go to the Classroom now. We are getting late."
Ken tried to change the topic and started walking towards the classroom at a faster pace.
"okay..." Jas also answered in low voice, like his vitality was dried up.
After a few minutes, Jas and Ken reached the classroom. As they entered, they were able to see that Kevin wasn't in class. They were relieved to know that they weren't late.
"You are lucky that Class teacher is late today." A grumpy voice ca from a distance.
It was Ben, even after losing to Ken he still didn't stop bothering Ken. There were still half a dozen minions around him.
"Oh, good to know."
Ken wasn't bothered by this. Instead, he was now used to this behaviour of Ben.
"As a top student of the year, you are role model for others. You shouldn't be late like this."
"Okay. I will try to rember it. Thanks for the advice." Ken said with a kind smile. Seeing his smile, many people were dazed including Ben and his group.
He didn't expect this type of response from Ken.
"Ohh-kay. Try to be better."
As Ben couldn't keep a conversation with Ken he returned to his seat.
Seeing Ben like this, Jas and Amy couldn't hold themselves and laughed.
"Pfft."
"Haha"
Eva's shoulders were also trembling slightly. She was trying to control herself.
"Seriously, after fighting with Ken that arrogant Ben has really changed. Although he is still annoying."
Amy grumbled. As she was from one of upper class family, She knew Ben beforehand from attending the academy. The Ben in past was very annoying and irritating guy who kept babbling like fly, but now he was just annoying.
While everyone was having lively conversation, Kevin entered in the classroom.
Everyone returned to their seats.
"Good Morning sir."
Everyone stood up and greeted Kevin.
"Oh, Good Morning. Sit down." Kevin gestured everyone to sit down.
"So like as always we will do combat training. But before that I have sothing to report you."
Everyone was quiet curious about this.
"Like everyone of you has guessed, it's about content of your mid-term exam."
Just when Kevin was continuing his sentence, a student interrupted him.
"But sir, isn't content of exam is fixed?"
"Yeah, it was sa until this year."
Hearing this, everyone in class was surprised.
"This ti, exam will be based on theoretical and practical knowledge."
Students felt, Kevin was playing prank with them now. As it felt sa as exam of previous years.
"But the practical exam will be held in dungeon."
