Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Happy to help... I Guess
Somewhere in the second-year residence area of the academy, John Connar and his cronies had just finished threatening Sam, basking in the moment of looking cool in front of two gorgeous women.
They were about to leave when their phones rang simultaneously.
"What the hell?" one of his cronies muttered, glancing at his phone and seeing the message Sam had sent, along with a challenge announcement.
"Oh my God," another crony exclaimed, staring at his phone in shock, his mouth agape. "John, you have to see this."
Noticing their reactions, John frowned and quickly checked his phone.
His expression grew darker and more twisted with every passing second, veins starting to bulge on his forehead as his face turned an alarming shade of red.
"That bastard," John Connar growled, smashing his phone into pieces in a fit of rage.
He never could have imagined a junior daring to oppose him, let alone publicly humiliating him.
"This fucker," John seethed, punching a wall and leaving a sizable crack.
"I will make him suffer. I want him to feel such excruciating pain that he'll crawl under my feet and beg for mercy."
Just then, two more individuals entered the room. They surveyed the scene, noting John's furious destruction.
"Looks like you've found yourself a challenge," one of the newcomers remarked.
"Don't forget the added humiliation; that's the highlight," another man said with a chuckle.
"What the fuck do you want?" John snapped, glaring at the two men who had just appeared.
"We sent you to recruit those girls, but instead, you provoked that guy into challenging you," the first man, Nolan, said, crossing his arms. "Nicely done, John."
"And don't forget about the humiliation," added Kaze, the man standing beside Nolan, grinning.
"Thanks to you, the embarrassment is spreading throughout the entire faction."
"This is a minor issue," John snarled.
"This isn't humiliation; it's just him digging his own grave. I'll make him regret ever challenging me. As for the so-called humiliation, I'll make him suffer so profoundly that everyone will forget the arrogant message he sent."
"Can you defeat him?" Kaze asked.
"Is that a joke?" John retorted, clenching his fists.
"He's a first-year. There's no way in hell he even has a chance of winning against me."
After some time, Sam sent a message stating that he wanted to finish the battle right away and headed straight to the arena, followed closely by Yuki and Isabelle.
When he arrived, the place was already packed with first and second-year students and trainers.
Sam noticed Lucy sitting with a group of people who were looking at him as if he were an alien.
Sam was already standing on the battleground when Trainer Austin arrived, gazing at him.
John narrowed his eyes as he felt the mana in the surroundings being drawn towards Sam.
Sam ignored him and focused on the line of fire at the center.
As soon as the fire extinguished, he would charge.

"Holy Power and Rune Pulse, huh?" Sam murmured.
He felt a strange sensation coursing through his body and became acutely aware of his surroundings.
He could see countless, differently colored dots floating and gathering in random groups.
Elsewhere in the arena, among the hundreds of students gathered, Yami felt a chill run down his spine, followed by a familiar sense of fear.
It was not the fear of a superior as before; this time, it was the fear of being in the presence of an eternal enemy.
"What has he done now?" Yami couldn't help but feel even more terrified of Sam.
Ever since being defeated by Sam two weeks ago, he had developed a trauma.
Sam hadn't made things any easier for him, either.
Over the past two weeks, Sam had been making Yami wash his clothes, clean his house, tend his garden, act as his training partner, and, most disturbingly, absorb his dark energy, somehow gaining Yami's abilities for his own use.
