Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

One word was more than enough to make everyone shut up. It was domineering, strong, and even scary. This man went from being a lazy and slow person to a monster in a few seconds.

After everyone stopped their tantrum, Thyrus looked around for a moment and started scratching his head with an annoyed look.

"You guys are really loud. Respect my ears here." He said with a lazy tone. There was no trace of his previous outburst.

The candidates looked at each other with wary looks before shifting their eyes to Thyrus again.

"Now, that everyone calmed down….mmm…I will explain…the…test."

He then started reading the pieces of paper in his hand.

"The test..is composed of 3 parts…I think…and we will be eliminating people through these tests until only two people are left…."

He wasn't even trying to sound interested, he was just reading a piece of paper with a blank look.

"The first test…is…auhh…'Bracelet Catch'...." He then made a snapping sound with his fingers and several pillars of light fell down from the sky.

The light was dim and barely visible so only those under the pillar of light could see it properly. Coincidentally or not, these pillars fell on half of the number of people on the plains.

Then, after a few seconds, the light disappeared allowing everyone to see what happened.

In each of these people's hands, there was a bracelet. It was made of some kind of glass since it shined slightly.

"We have given….to half of you…a bracelet….The goal of the test is to have one bracelet when the time is over…so, the ones who don't have one need to get It from those who have it…easy…but…"

He then pointed at his right hand and continued, "This Bracelet is very fragile and any damage on it could break it to pieces….that is two fewer people passing the test…so, don't use any strong attacks and be wise on how you deal with your opponent…Killing is not allowed too so if you kill someone, you're disqualified…so…" He tried to remember what he wanted to say but ended up shaking his head in defeat.

'He's the worst person when it comes to explaining stuff…' Acht thought with a cold gaze. He was already bored so he wanted Thyrus to hurry up and start the test.

"You have 1 hour…Start." He then walked away and left them all alone.

Acht looked at his right hand and much to his surprise, he had a bracelet. It was a pain in the ass to deal with the greedy insects that will come his way but he had no other choice.

Everyone stood still for a moment and looked at the sky. There, they saw a holographic timer with 59 minutes on it. The time was ticking down as they were standing still.

"Fuck! The time is already starting…." One of them shouted before locating a person with a bracelet and running toward him.

"Give me your bracelet or I will fuck you up!"

"Way to go shitty face! Try me!"

The two then clashed violently. Their confrontation ignited all the other fights.

People started fighting each other. Just from one look, the ones with the bracelets had an advantage since they only needed to evade others for an hour. As for the others, they had to fight them while keeping in mind not to destroy the bracelets or they will be fucked.

'Someone is coming for me.' Acht thought as he moved through the plains. He didn't want to use his gift and expose himself so he had to rely on his soul force and close combat skills to deal with any opponent.

A few moments later, a tall man with a muscular physique came running toward him from the side. He found Acht to be the least intimidating out of all the people present so he chose him as his target.

"Come here, short stuff! I will make you kiss the fucking ground if you don't give the bracelet."

Acht halted his steps and looked at the man with a cold gaze. He then glanced at the timer above him and said.

"After 10 seconds, you will be licking my foot."

Then, without any further delay, he dashed toward the confused man and jumped to reach his height. The speed of his movement was unbelievable. He almost appeared like a blur to the man. The past few weeks with Scarlett had made him way stronger than before.

*Swish*

Then he kicked with his leg to his face, the attack was very swift and quick so he couldn't react to it.

"Ugh!!"

The kick was so strong that he felt as if he was hit by a train. With a loud sound, he was sent flying like a ragdoll. All of his teeth were obliterated and blood gushed out of his mouth and nose like a hose.

But, that wasn't the end. Acht ran after the man, closing the distance between them in a few breaths before punching him in the stomach. The punch made the flying man fall to the ground roughly.

"Blurghh!!!!" He started coughing, trying to breathe but his lungs were not obeying him. His ribs were broken to pieces.

Then, Acht walked to him and shoved his shoe in his mouth.

He then said with an emotionless tone, "I said 10 seconds but it only took 4 seconds. You exceeded my expectations."

The man was already unconscious when Acht shoved his shoe in his mouth so he didn't hear anything he said. However, that wasn't the case for people nearby, everyone stopped fighting and looked at the scene where a kid was one-sidedly beating up a huge guy as if it was nothing.

They also saw how he made him lick his shoes which collected a few frowns of fear and repulse from many candidates.

Acht didn't care about their looks. He did all of that so that no one would dare to fight him. He knew that there were some reckless people around him that would fight him even with that show of strength he did but he at least reduced the number of those who dared to do so.

After that, the boy walked away from the unconscious man as if he was leisurely strolling in a park. Each time he neared a group of people, they retreated from him for fear of catching his attention. Everything seemed to be going according to his plan.

But, it wasn't that long after that that one came close to him.

"Hm?"

It was the blonde girl he saw before. She was still as expressionless as ever and her eyes didn't falter or hesitate as she looked at him.

'Now that I took a closer look at her. She does indeed look familiar.' he thought as inspected the girl.

"You…fight me." She said calmly.

Acht wasn't surprised by her words but he was confused by a whole other thing.

"You do know that you have a bracelet, right?"

"Yes."

"So…what's the point of our fight?"

The girl took a few seconds of silence as if she was thinking about something before answering.

"....fight me."

Acht didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her answer. She acted and spoke like a machine without emotions.

"Sigh, you are weird…I'm not going to fight you." He then changed his direction and started walking away.

But, the girl didn't give up, she ran up to him again and stood in front of him.

"Fight me."

"I said no."

He then took an extra step before dashing away from her. The girl was taken aback at first but still chased him.

The two ran across the plains as if they were some childhood friends playing around.

"Fight me."

"I said No."

'She's fucking tenacious.' Acht thought with gritted teeth. He refused to fight her not because of the reason he stated before alone. His instincts told him that mingling up with that girl would cause him a lot of trouble and he trusted his guts.

Their chase continued for a few more minutes. The two were running at a speed incomparable to any of the present people.

'How is she able to keep up with me for this long?' He took a look at her and she looked normal as if she hadn't been running at full speed for more than 10 minutes.

'I was intending to not waste so much energy in the first test. Sigh, do I really have to fight her?' He could only curse his stupid luck and stop in his tracks in defeat.

"Fine…I will fight you. But, I have one condition."

The girl didn't speak and didn't show any response to his words so he continued.

"We will only fight for one minute. After that, you leave me alone for the rest of the test. Understood?"

The girl didn't answer his question either. Acht had no choice but to deal with such a weird person.

"I will take your silence as an acceptance of my condition."

Then, he walked a little bit closer. He wanted to make the fight as quickly as possible without any delays. Time is precious and his energy is even more so.

"let's end this quickly."
