Xzavon didn’t know who this girl was or what she had done, but he was attracted to her. Not because he wanted to help a maiden in distress, but because she was the like a beautiful jade that no one can buy. Snow white smooth skin, long white hair coming to her buttocks, blue eyes, two perfect looking peaks, long slim legs. What more can you say, if his mother caused a country to fight over her, then this girl would cause the world to crumble under her beauty. Perfection couldn’t even define her, no words could match her beauty, it was simply indescribable.
‘The pressure is strong, but this is an unexpected beauty. If I let this chance slip by, I might not have the chance to conquer her heart.’ Xzavon thought of helping her out, but seeing that the 20 students who surrounded her he couldn’t. He who was a level 1, along with the pressure of the gravity could hardly move. How would he be able to help this fair maiden, he gritted his teeth and left.
He didn’t leave to go away, after the pressure lessened, he ran towards the counter of the library. ‘Power rules, Saint Hail Academy must have a powerful person in charge of this library, or else people would go to any floor they want’ This was his goal, to find the librarian of this place, if he got to that person then maybe they could help the beauty.
Reaching the counter an old man with closed eyes who was seemingly sleeping appeared in his eyes. “Hey old man! Wake up and go to the 3rd floor something is happening!”
No reaction at all, the old man was really sleeping or just ignored Xzavon. This didn’t settle well with him at all, he climbed over the counter and hit the old man in the face. Or..he thought he did, the old man grabbed his fist and tossed Xzavon across the room.
The old man looked at Xzavon with a little killing intent, “Why would a mere child wake up I, John Doe.”
Xzavon got up and looked at the old man, “A girl is surrounded by 20 students on the 3rd floor, go help her.”
He glanced at the stairs to the 3rd floor, “What would I get in return? Money, I don’t need that. Face, I have enough of that. Go away, next time you might be missing an arm if you try to touch me again.”
Seeing that the old man wouldn’t help him, Xzavon was out of other options. His only choice was to go back to the 3rd floor and try to help, even if it was to gain her a split second to escape he was going to do that.
Surprisingly when he walked up the pressure was gone, but what was surrounding him were bodies of students. Their limbs were dislocated, faces unrecognizable and unconscious. ‘Who could do something like this’
Walking to where the girl was, he couldn’t find her at all. A student who was conscious looked at Xzavon, but all he could see was a blurry figure. He instantly cowered into a ball, “Stop! Don’t come any closer!”
This surprised Xzavon, he thought they all were unconscious, he never expected that one would still be able to bear the pain and not pass out. He asked the first question that came to mind, “Who did this?”
The cowered student realized that he wasn’t the girl who beat them all up. “Take me away from here. Hurry! Before she realizes that I am still alive.”
Xzavon repeated the last word he said, “Alive? You’re telling me that all those people are dead….FUCK!”
‘Why did I come back up here. If I knew that they were killed, I would have left before I came way over here. What if she comes back and kills me to keep me silent, or what if it wasn’t her but someone else.’ Xzavon was weighing the pros and cons of helping this guy out, he took a chance and said, “First tell me who did this. Then i’ll help you.”
The guy shaking said her name, “S-siliva..Silvia Terraz.”
Xzavon knew who she was, at least that was a start for him. He didn’t want to get caught up in the mess these students caused, so he left. The guy seeing that Xzavon was leaving called out to him, “Don’t you have any sympathy! How can you leave, don’t you know that if she finds out i’m alive she’ll come back to kill me. Not only will she kill me, i’ll tell her it was you who sent us to do this.”
Xzavon gasped, “Y-you wouldn’t. Who would believe you, besides you don’t know my name.”
He was right, the guy didn’t know Xzavons name, but he could always describe his appearance to her before he died. That alone was enough to make the girl come after him to keep everything silent. If he didn’t want that he had no choice but to help this guy out, but that would be even worse because that would be directly telling her that someone helped.
The guy laughed softly, “Yes. Yes. Come, no matter if you agree or not you are an accomplice. I’ll give you a reward, EXP beads. Instead of raising your level by killing monsters you can raise it by eating these. Although you don’t get much, it’s still able to raise your level by 1 or 2.” After saying that, he pulled out 5 small green beads.
“Inspect”
[Small EXP Bead: Able to increase users level, effects differ depending on users level.
To Xzavon who was level 1, this was simply too good. This was a perfect way to earn some levels he lost, “Ok, i’ll help you. Give me the beads, that way I can increase our speed. The faster we leave, the better.”
He passed Xzavon the five beads, hoping that he wouldn’t just eat them and leave him here. Even if he did, he still knew his appearance and could use that to trap him.
Popping the beads in his mouth, it melted instantly. It felt like his body was having this surge of energy, and he could do anything in that moment.
Level up! (x7)

The effect of these beads were way too good, it even increased his level by 7. Making him level making him level 8 now, if he wanted to prepare in 3 months he needed more of these beads. Sadly he didn’t know how to get them, nor how much they cost.
If he knew that these beads cost 50 gold per bead, he would go crazy. That was more money that he had, and he wouldn’t even get an allowance any more, meaning if he wanted to level the only way was to kill monsters.
He gained stat points, but now was not the time to use them. He grabbed the guy and tossed him over his shoulder and ran down to the 2nd floor. This was Xzavon’s first day, and he already made some trouble. He needed to drop this guy off fast, “Ok, tell me where to take you.”
“Infimary. I can get healed and escape that crazy bitch.”
Xzavon didn’t know the way, this was his first day after all. He asked, “Which way do we go?”
The guy jaws dropped, “The hell! How don’t you know where it is, we’ve been in school for 3 months and you don’t know. Why did god give me such a stupid savior.”
Xzavons eyes twitched, this guy called him stupid. He was pissed off at this, but he wouldn’t just drop the guy no matter how bad he wanted to. He bitterly smiled, “First day, been missing for 3 months.”
The guys mouth opened, but he didn’t say anything. He connected the dots, ‘The Phenix kid has been missing for 3 months. This guy has also been gone for 3 months, and he even has some of the features that people were talking about. God didn’t betray me, he gave me a second chance.’ A tear came out of the guys eye, but he was in too much pain to wipe it away.
A voice called out, “HEY! Where do you think you are going? I leave for 10 minutes and come back to see that you are gone. Do you think that this is going to end, you!”
Xzavon glanced over his shoulder and seen the beauty. He felt a cold chill go down his spine, this is not what he thought would happen. He didn’t take into account that the girl knew the guy was alive, and he knew that she was strong.
The guy glanced at Xzavon, “Hurry and run faster! If she catches us we are DEAD! Wait, never mind that, hurry and tell her who you are. With your families backing, she won’t touch you. Since I am with you, that means she can’t touch me either.”
A blur passed him, and in front was the beauty, he gaze was cold. Her blue eyes seemed as if they could pierce through Xzavons heart if he wasn’t careful. Seeing her up close was different from seeing her afar, the pressence she gave was like a princess of the king.
The gravitatonal pressure once again appeared, and Xzavon felt like his heart sunk. He really was in a bad spot, not only did he get caught up in this mess because he tried to save her. He now tried to save the guy who she is trying to kill, this really isn’t looking that good for him.
Her pressure only increased as she glared at Xzavon and the guy. Looking Xzavon in the eye she said, “Who are you? Why are you helping someone like him.”
Xzavon was going to say who he was, but before he said anything the guy said it for him. “This guy, I wouldn’t touch him if I were you. He is the son of Jim Phenix, so if you touch him then that’s the end of you and your family.”
She looked at Xzavon and said, “Is that true? You’re that guy who ranked 4th this year.”
He didn’t have anything to say, he just nodded his head. It’s not like he didn’t want to say anything to her, it’s just that he found that under her gaze it was hard to. Breathing deeply he felt as if the pressure surrounding him lessened.
She pointed her figure at the guy, “Drop him and you may go. But don’t worry, i’ll come for you later. If I kill you at the end of the year, during the tournament not even your clan can say anything. If I were you, I would dig a hole and hide in it. Such a pity you have to die by my hands, and you did it all for the sake of him.”
Gulping Xzavon set the guy down, he didn’t know what to say or do. Obviously he was weaker than her, he lost his stats and was basically useless. The guy was even worse off, he felt pressure coming towards him, “Wait! Its his fault. He’s the one who ordered us to attack you, because he wanted the position of Vice-President.”
‘This damn guy, I should never went in that room’ The guy had no shame, he put the blame on Xzavon to cover his own tracks. He did say he would do it if Xzavon left him there, but now she already caught up to them so this was his only card to play. If he goes down, then so does Xzavon.
“He wouldn’t dare take I, Silvia Terraz’s position as vice-president of the student council. You, have committed a grave sin my friend, lying in front of my face and pinning the blame on someone else. Not only will you die, but i’ll send your corpse back to your family in pieces. Everyone knows that the Phenix kid has been training for 3 months, and you try to tell me that he put you guys up to it. You must think i’m stupid, i’ll show you how stupid someone can be.”
Saying all that, she made a quick movement that was faster than Xzavon could see. No sound was heard, the top part of the guys head came off and his brain was cut in half. He died, no doubt about it, but to kill him in plain site was something else.
It really was true what Jim said, that even the teachers don’t mess with the student council. They are the pillars that hold the school together, have absolute authority and no one messes with them. Knowing that you can kill someone and not bat an eye at the scene was something else, strength really is all that matters in this world. Being weak means that you are prey for other, being weak means that you can die whenever someone sees fit. Being strong is all that matters, because once you are strong, no one would try to get in your way.
After killing the guy, she turned around and started to leave. After a few steps away, she told Xzavon, “So you’re a Phenix huh. I always wanted to duel someone from there. I, Silvia challenge you to an official duel, lets see how powerful you are.”
