Game Reincarnation: Reborn as the Strongest Villain-Chapter 152 Junior Vs. Senior.

A day had passed since the declaration had been made.

Selene, who instigated the challenge, informed the other teachers and asked for permission to hold a small tournament within the academy.

The stadium buzzed with anticipation as rows of students packed the seating area. Conversation erupted in the place, barely holding the palpable tension in the air.

It was suffocating, almost heavy. Yet, it churned with excitement.

A bowl shaped like a coliseum carved with aged stones, its weathered walls on the arena carved by the students’ effort.

It was awe-inspiring, like a mark of glory.

The circular arena was bathed in gold, casting several shadows of students that were becoming a hot topic in the night.

Two groups were facing each other in the arena.

Silvia, who acted as the temporary leader for the first year Alpha Class, stood before Selene, who gazed at her with flame flickered in her eyes.

Meanwhile, the student’s attention was drawn elsewhere, where Jin stood near the rail of the seat, looking down at the arena with a composed expression.

Jin crossed his arms; each of his movements carried a palpable tension in their heart but also a bit of disappointment for being absent in the fight.

However, they knew well how monstrous the boy’s strength was.

The colossal magic circle incident that shrouded the entire academy still haunted them in their sleep till this time.

"Such a shame he couldn’t participate". Selene’s soft voice rang in the arena, looking upward to meet Jin’s figure.

She shrugged her shoulders and extended her hand toward Silvia.

"Lets have a good fight".

Silvia’s azure eyes moved down; looking at the stretched palm, she glanced at Selene’s face and grasped it tight, making the senior brows twitch.

"Yes, likewise". Silvia’s voice was cold, freezing the air around them.

The senior group was divided into two.

One gulped their saliva, feeling pumped to see what the current first-year strength was.

Others furrowed their brows in displeasure, seeing Jin imposingly standing in the spectator seat.

His sharp emerald eyes struck them like a blade, chipping away their pride as seniors, making them loathe Jin’s appearance.

Selene released her hands, shifted to her comrade, and pointed her index finger at Vice Leader Sirius.

"Sirius, do you mind being first?".

The boy adjusted his glass and stepped forward, summoning her wooden spear in hand.

"I would be glad to".

A wave of gasps spread in the arena. The seniors’ eyes sparkled with expectation to see the second-strongest student in the academy below Selene.

Seeing Sirius ready, Selene stepped back, and the others followed.

Silvia’s gaze turned frosty, like a winter blizzard that could freeze even the summer.

Emotion disappeared; she summoned her bokuto and stepped forward.

’This guy was the one who tried to kill Jin.’ Silvia raised her other hand, signaling the other to retreat.

There was no signal or announcement; only two students stood in the arena, wanting to prove their worth.

"Hmph, so he chose to hide, huh". Sirius spat, glaring at Jin’s figure above. "What a coward".

Even after the beating he received that day, the man refused to acknowledge it. He turned to Silvia, clicked his tongue, and prepared his stance.

"So, are you going to mute forever or what?". Sirius narrowed his eyes, intending to intimidate his opponent.

Silvia didn’t respond; she prepared her middle stance.

"Hmph, If he didn’t come". Sirius’s lips spread, revealing a sadistic smirk. "I will give him a reason to"

The moment he said that his figure vanished.

A gust of wind erupted from his place, launching forward in frontal strike. He clenched the spear shaft and thrust it straight at Silvia’s chest.

The crowds widened their eyes with the sheer speed and his heinous intent.

All eyes gathered around Silvia and held their breath, watching the girl don’t even flinch.

With a single step and flick of her wrist, Silvia deflected the spear trajectory with precision, missing her chest by a wide margin.

The boy retracted his hands and thrust again; now, it was aimed at her azure eyes.

However, the girl calmly dealt the strike with a gentle touch of her bokuto, pushing the spearhead aside.

*Tack!

Wood clashed against each other as the wind howled around them. Yet the girl stood upright like a mountain, unmoving.

Sirius glare intensified, and he stepped back. A green aura pulsated around his skin.

The air thickened as he turned blurry, kicking up dust, and lunged at Silvia with ferocity.

His attack was vicious but flowed graciously—each strike connected to others, a testament to his bloody effort.

The spear danced in a wide arc. He thrust, swung the tips, and twirled to gain momentum with the single-minded purpose of penetrating the girl’s defense.

Silvia dodged the attacks with minimal movements. She weaved through the attack with silent grace, moving her bokuto to deflect and block.

In the middle of the relentless attack, Silvia exhaled and unconsciously muttered.

"...Futile effort".

Her voice was soft, yet it echoed in the quiet place like an ice blade.

"Haa! What did you say!?".

Sirius roared, his tone laced with fury. He planned to thrust his spear straight, but his thought faltered with just a small comment Silvia made.

A loud ’tack’ resounded in the arena as the girl swung her blade diagonally, pushing Sirius’ spear and destroying his stance.

The glasses boy drew a distance while inhaling deeply to calm his ragged breath. Sirius lifted his eyes to see the girl standing straight, loosening the tension in her body.

"...". Sirius gritted his teeth. "...How dare you!?".

Silvia heard the faint malice in the boy’s whisper and tightened the grip on her bokuto.

’Too arrogant’. Silvia exhaled in disappointment. ’And a fool’.

She was calm, but inside her chest, a tide rose.

In one breath, her figure shot forward like a mist, fleeting and sharp.

Silvia began to press forward, turning the tide. Her bokuto moved seamlessly like a whip, hurling Sirius’s side from every angle.

Once in the zone, she was like a strong current, unstoppable.

The spectators rose from their seats, watching the first-year girl corner the senior who took the seat as one of the strongest.

Sirius gritted his teeth, and the wind started to lash around him, trying to push the girl away.

But the girl ducked down; her bokuto swept like a flash of lightning, crushing the senior shin with a thunderous crack.

The sickening snap echoed through the arena, followed by a howl of pain.

"Aaaah!".

The atmosphere turned deathly silent. Some students covered their mouths, and some leaned forward in disbelief.

They shuddered, hearing the roaring pain that pierced their ears, turning their attention to the silver-haired girl, who watched the groveling boy with indifference.

Despite the beauty she exudes. The girl held a brutal side, which made the entire students gulp in fear.

Silvia lowered her gaze momentarily before shifting her attention to the senior side, who watched her with a blue face.

She took one last glance at Sirius, who was wriggling on the ground, then turned her back as if nothing had happened.

Her azure eyes gazed up, meeting Jin’s emerald eyes. The boy smiled bitterly and gave her a firm nod, saying that she did a good job.

After she was done with her business, Silvia returned to the group, who welcomed her with stiff smiles.

Except for Iris and Lucya.

"Good work, Silvia".

Lucya’s cheerful tone softened the mood in the group.

"Hmph, he deserved it!".

Iris’ vicious voice, laced with venom, glared at the poor senior who his comrade helped.

A gasp of realization dawned upon the other. These three still held a grudge against the senior who suddenly attacked Jin one-sidedly that time.

Although Jin had put his stance, Silvia, Iris, and Lucya seemed a bit protective regarding the boy they were close to.

"Who is next?". Lucya chirped from the side, turning all attention to Silvia’s side.

Silvia stared at the approaching female senior, holding a bow. She exchanged glances with Iris and nodded.

"I’m counting on you".

"I guess, it can’t be helped".

The Elven girl shrugged her shoulders and rolled both her shoulders to prepare.

"Let’s wipe them out!". Iris’ lips parted in a fearless grin, raising the spirit of the entire group.

In response, the other nodded, and thus, the second battle began between archers.
