Chapter 66: Compromise
‘And your mistake was underestimating me,’ Theos declared, pressing harder on the broken hand of a bewildered William.
‘How the fuck could you break my hand so easily? I even boosted my physical capabilities with Mana…’, William didn’t understand how Theos did it, but if he understood anything, it was that he had lost.
He hadn’t received an attack per se, but it caused him damage, besides that, William wasn’t confident he could keep up with Theos with his broken hand.
Releasing Theos, he stepped back a bit to announce to all the students. “Theos has won!”
With such a statement, everyone applauded and congratulated, but such praise fell on deaf ears for Theos, who was clutching his throat and breathing with a little difficulty.
‘My strength has undoubtedly improved from that time, but I’m 100% sure that if the professor had continued the fight with a broken hand, maybe he would have won, but he would have also taken quite a bit of damage,’ he concluded, his mind a little shaken.
It was true, he now realized one of his great shortcomings: battle experience.
Yes, he had fought multiple times, but he had only had one real challenge and that was against the Curse, which also didn’t know how to fight because it was a newborn.
All the battles were of a great difference in power, even his first big battle was not necessarily so difficult, but now he realized that, although William is not as physically powerful as the curse, his technique and experience in battle made him much more dangerous, an opponent that in a fight to the death Theos can lose.
‘His technique is on another level, although his physical strength is not greater than the curse, it is almost certain that William would have beaten the curse in a hypothetical fight between the two’, thinking about this, Theos turned around to go back to Alice.
“Theos Von Fallen… You are a monster among monsters, eh,” William said briefly, causing Theos to stop his steps.
He continued. “In my opinion, if you manage to get the same level of technique as the one you have in strength, you could defeat subjects one rank higher than yours with greater ease, that Path of yours is also terrifying, although, in a few minutes, we’ll see everyone’s Path ranks, for sure yours is Supreme.”
The students went crazy listening to the assertions of a smiling William, emotional to have a student like Theos in his class.
“I’ll see what I can do,” with these cold words, Theos walked out of the training ground with an expression colder than ice, causing all the other students who had planned to congratulate him to recoil at the sight of his expression.
[The Host has struck fear into the hearts of his fellow students… 1000 negative energy], the system notified.
Continuing with a cold expression, Theos approached Alice, his inner surprise well hidden. ‘System… You didn’t mention that could only see notifications of a thousand or more than a thousand, did you? Well, since I remember this, now tell me, why did these students give so many points?’
Theos was not annoyed, if not surprised that the students would give him so many points when they shouldn’t be.
Fortunately, the system explained this to him. [These fellow students, have at least talked to the main characters later on, despite not appearing in the story, they are very much assumed to it all the time later on, that’s why they give so many points].
‘Oh, I see…’, Theos nodded mentally, understanding the workings behind this.
‘Basically, they are very much compromised by the actions of the main characters, so they would be NPCs but very important, right?’
[That’s right, plus with the sheer amount of them, that’s why you get 1000 negative energy.]
‘I see… Maybe I should cause hell among these students, thinking about this, Theos’ cold face had a half smile, which on the outside because of his beautiful face looked charming, but on the inside… It could be called the devil’s smile.
“Good battle, you did amazing!” congratulated Alice, giving Theos a big hug.
He accepted the hug, at the same time coming up to her ear. “You’ve got quite a strong husband, don’t you,” he teased, his hot breath impacting Alice’s flushed ear, who flinched at his voice.
“Oh, brother, so nice to see you around!” with a mischievous grin, Nora appeared between the two lovers.
“!!!”, Alice gave a big jump, separating from Theos, the latter with a smile greeted his sister by patting them on the head.
“What brings you here, little sister?” he asked curiously, but deep down… ‘You’ll have to pay me later for interrupting my conversation’, he thought silently.
“Nothing specific, I just came to say hello to my brother and I… Sister-in-law? Anyway… Well, it’s hard to say this, but your fiancée… Or other fiancée, also wants to talk to you,” with a forced smile, Nora disappeared as quickly as she appeared out of nowhere.
“What’s wrong with the little lady… I mean, my sister-in-law?” Alice asked awkwardly, making Theos laugh.
“Nothing, I just have to talk to someone… Peculiar,” he remarked, seeing Eleanor staring at him unblinkingly.
Alice understood immediately, so reluctantly, she stepped back a little.
Surprisingly the students were not watching the actual fight with the professor, instead, they were eagerly watching the upcoming discussion of the engaged
To the surprise of the students, Theos did not move from his place, so Eleanor had to go there of her own accord, stopping in front of Theos.
Eleanor’s blue eyes stared into Theos’ pair of different colored eyes.
“What do you wish to talk to me for?” he asked, although there was already a rather obvious assumption, he wanted to confirm it at once so that there would be no misunderstandings.
Eleanor’s eyes hesitated a little, her lips even trembled slightly, but she gathered enough strength to speak. “What do you want to do about the engagement?”
She had realized since Theos is world famous that he was her betrothed.
