Game Reincarnation: Reborn as the Strongest Villain-Chapter 145 Promise.
Chapter 145: 145 Promise.
The world hummed its catastrophe. A massive magic circle that hovered in the sky shone dangerously, whispering the end of the time.
Waves of gasp spread throughout the place, and students who stayed in class tensed their bodies to see up.
Their expression hardened.
The ground rumbled, hoping that the sky’s wrath didn’t land on them.
In the training field, Silvia and Allen, who intercepted the seniors, gazed up and gulped their saliva.
"Jin?". Silvia’s voice was weak, brittle like thin ice.
She saw Jin slowly leave the ground and stand straight in the skies—his aloof expression coupled with indifferent gaze, looking down upon the land and mortals.
Her body shivered by the cold breeze that swept away the heat in the air.
From behind, Silvia, Iris, and Lucya approached her side and stood next to each other, seeing the boy they recognized had gone wild.
"Silvia, are you okay?". Iris touched Silvia’s shoulder, shaking it slightly.
"I’m fine". Silvia nodded without looking at the side.
Iris, too, didn’t leave her gaze on the boy. This was the first time someone touched Jin’s reverse scales.
It made Silvia and the other two unable to mediate it.
They didn’t know how to calm the raging dragon, whose intention was to seek destruction.
A thunderous roar erupted in the sky, giving birth to silver veins that spread across the skies, maliciously mocking the creature below.
Silvia summoned her blue sword; its cold steel seeped through her veins, calming her tense nerves.
’Thalassa, lend me your help, just in case’. Silvia whispered inside her.
Silvia decided to draw her sword. The blue blade gleamed in a dim glow, radiating a chill that froze the sea.
It was not to oppose him but to remain on his side.
She knew that Jin wouldn’t do something so foolish as to butcher everything in his sight just to calm his nerves.
However, Silvia wanted to ensure that no one would be foolish enough to escalate the matter.
{I’m always ready, master, but}
An ancient feminine voice reverberated in her brain, full of wonder and curiosity.
’What’s the matter?’. Silvia tightened the grip on her sword hilt.
{Nothing, your partner might be the closest to our kind for he was the sky itself and the atmosphere submit to his will}
’...’. Silvia’s mouth was agape; words got stuck in her throat.
"What!?".
A loud shout shattered her daze and prompted Silvia to shift to the side, watching Iris bite her lips with a vein popping on her temple.
"Iris? What happened?".
Lucya tilted her head as she was keeping her calm, not even summoning her power.
{It must be Zephyros. He said something to her}
Silvia nodded upon hearing Thalassa’s explanation.
This revelation struck a chord in her heart because this was another side of Jin that Silvia rarely saw.
His usual confidence and calm behavior soothed Silvia and the other girls’ minds. The smile and attention he showed sprouted the bud of affection in their heart.
Yet, for the first time, Jin showed his other side. The side that could rattle the hearts of many, bringing terror upon the world.
{Master!}
Thalassa’s voice brought Silvia back from her daze.
Silvia noticed several powers gathered upon the field, coming from the teachers and other students who wanted to capture the phenomenon.
One of them was an old man with gray hair cascading to his back, holding a long staff that was approximately the same height as his own.
He was the academy principal, the current strongest mage in human history.
"What’s happening here?". His dignified voice resonated across the place, calming the agitated students and teachers.
The man’s sharp golden eyes looked up, observing the cause of the commotion with calm and a bit of curiosity.
Behind him, teachers with tightened faces gathered mana in their hands and held each of their respective weapons.
Students who attended the event were seen with trembling legs, barely holding onto their sanity.
Silvia gritted her teeth as the fear she envisioned became a reality.
She clenched the blue sword tight and planned to intercept the incoming teacher with talk.
A loud clap echoed as it shattered the magic circle and black cloud above, letting the golden light shimmer the ground with its warmth.
"Jin?". Silvia shifted her attention up and met her gaze with Jin, who smiled bitterly.
She loosened the tension in her body and stuffed the blue sword in her storage, exhaling in relief.
’You’re such a handful sometimes’. Silvia put a hand on her waist and parted her lips.
Seeing the crowds that gathered beneath him, Jin descended and stepped on the ground, facing the judgmental gaze from all over people in the academy.
Jin glanced at the green-haired senior. Once their eyes met, the senior averted his gaze, still trembling from the shock earlier.
However, Jin still notices the hater in the boy’s eyes. It further lit the fire inside him.
He moved his feet, walking toward his side.
Jin exchanged a silent gaze with Dannan, which he reluctantly accepted and stepped away to the side.
The senior name Sirius flinched and unconsciously took a step back. He froze before Jin’s cold glare.
Both stared at each other’s eyes momentarily and then Sirius’s legs gave out as he flopped onto the ground.
"If you ever raise a weapon at me again...". Jin paused; he pointed the tip of his bokuto at Sirius’ neck. "I will cut you without mercy".
"You dare! Who do you think I am?". Sirius retaliated but with his trembling lips. His voice was becoming weaker in tone.
"Who? Son of Merchant? Noble? King? Emperor? Whoever it is, I don’t give a damn care".
Jin’s voice was sharp, like a blade edge that sent chills down the spine.
A suffocating silence fell over the training field.
Sirius trembled where he sat, clutching the spear with shallow breath.
Jin lowered his bokuto; he didn’t need to look around him. The clear presence of other students and teachers seemed palpable on his skin.
He said calmly as it cut through the stifling silence.
"I will even cut a God if he dares lay a hand on me, mark my word!".
The wind stopped, no, the world itself halted its breath. An overwhelming pressure washed away the blood in everyone’s presence.
Their instinct as living beings screamed in fear, recognizing that it was not just a threat but a promise.
Jin stored his bokuto and walked away from the shaken senior. The air behind him was still heavy and thick with dread.
As he approached his group, three girls watched him from different angles, having witnessed Jin’s new side, which was rarely shown to others.
Lucya broke the silence first. She hopped to his left side, grabbing the boy’s left hand and interlocking their finger.
"You were so cool back then, I fell for you more, fufu".
Her teasing remark shattered the ice in the place. The other students started to loosen their tense muscles.
Silvia didn’t say a word; her azure eyes searched Jin’s appearance.
"Have you calmed down?".
From his right, Iris appeared lightly punching his shoulder with knitted brows.
"Next time you did that? Make sure you point it at the enemy!".
Jin couldn’t help but chuckle and nod his head.
"Yeah".
The fire in his eyes dimmed, thanks to their presence.
His brows twitched as he felt a presence approaching their sides. Jin looked back and saw the principal of the academy standing a few meters behind him, his expression marked by a deep wrinkle.
"I think we have something to talk about".
The man’s voice was gentle, but Jin could trace a bit of waryness and fear, looking at the sweat that trickled down his forehead.
Jin shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth.
"I understand, principal".
