Inside the assembly hall, there was one boy who was unsure of what to do and that was Peter. He had been there the whole time from the very beginning but chose to hide in the crowd so he wouldn’t get picked. When he saw Quinn come to the stage to try help Vorden, he felt even more guilty.
Why? Because the whole reason Vorden was tied up on the slab in the first place was because of him. The other day when the second years came to see Peter, they had come with a proposal. Help them get Vorden to come to the assembly hall and he would be protected by the second years.
Of course, Peter felt like he had no choice. If he refused the second years there and then, they would have tortured him until he agreed anyway. So what was the use of fighting back if the end result was the same?
After their combat classes had finished, Peter had asked Vorden to go with him to the assembly hall to help him further practise. When they entered the room, the second-year students included Momo where hiding waiting for him.
When the time was right, they all came out at once and jumped him. But what had surprised Peter was in that instant, Vorden had turned and pushed Peter out of the way.
"Run, I’m sorry this is all my fault," Vorden said.
Vorden thought the second years had targeted him because of what he had been doing in his free time. He had been fighting the second-year students when they were all on their own, trying to weaken Momo’s gang one by one.
Not knowing what to do, Peter ran out of the room, only later to return with everyone else. Then when he saw Quinn, someone who was just as weak as him, stand up to the second years, Peter felt a pain in his heart so strong. He had betrayed them.
But Peter was going to make things right, while no one was looking and everyone attention was focused on the fights around them, Peter had managed to leave the assembly hall.
Meanwhile, at the centre of the assembly hall, Erin and Layla were busy confronting the two-level four students.
The first years had spread out making sure not to get hurt in the crossfire but at the same time doing nothing to help. It was unclear who the winner would be and they felt like if they joined the wrong side it would only make things worse for them.
"Hey, do you mind if we switch." One of the second-year students said, "My water abilities are weak against her?"
"I see so you want the level, 2 user, huh." The other student replied. "Oh well, just finish her off quickly."
With that, the two-second years charged in for the attack. The water ability user went after Layla, while the earth user went after Erin.
As the earth user got closer, he stomped the ground and a spiked earth mound followed, heading right for Erin. But Erin remained calm, as the spike came towards her, she slashed her sword and with a single strike, cut the spike in half causing it to fall to the ground.
"What the? That beast weapon, if it cut through my earth ability is it an advanced tier beast weapon?��� The earth user thought.
However, he didn’t have much time to think, with her other hand Erin had formed an ice spear and threw it towards her opponent. The earth user lifted his arms causing a wall of earth blocking the attack.
He then moved his hands apart and at the same time the wall he had created, split in two but when the view in front of him was clear, Erin was nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly, he felt his legs start to feel cold. When he looked down, he noticed they were starting to freeze.
"For a second-year level four earth user, you are incredibly weak." Before the boy could react, Erin had whacked him in the back of the head with the hilt of her sword. Then as he fell to the ground, she froze his arms and limbs in place making sure he would stay on the ground. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"How did she win so easy?" The first-year students watching said.
"Yeah, shouldn’t a match between a level four and five user be closer than that, and he was a second-year student."
"Maybe they aren���t as strong as we thought?"
