  "[The Warden of Justice] B-Tier vs [The Stardust Weaver] C-Tier," Agatha stated as a fes could be heard from the students oands. Some from amusement and others from gasps of horror. "Please withhold the rules as stated in css, and from the rules brought up on the board if you need a reminder."

  Agatha then pointed with her hand to the billboard that showed the fighters, only this time also showed their [Shift] identity and the rules agaiher Akira nor Elizabeth turo see them, Elizabeth gring at Akira, and Akira leering at Elizabeth.

  her seemed to take notice of those around them, so Agatha only sighed once more and said "Fight!" and then immediately afterward she shone in bright light as her witch outfit ged into one more stylized, it turned into the time of clothing a royal mage would wear. A bight dress that seemed dotted with a whole steltion on the dark fabric, her witch hat had turned more stylized and regal and she wore elegant jewelry, but what was more obvious were her eyes.

  They had turned purple, as if to symbolize how pure her mana presence was being.

  But Elizabeth didn't take too muotice of this, nor did Akira for that matter.

  "y this easy or y this hard, what will it be? Lizzy?" Said the bck-haired [Hero] as he looked up and down Elizabeth.

  "Those words I say them back to you, release Rena from her suffering, and [Purge] the [Leadership], [Heroic Charisma] and multiple [Sve] skills you have, leave to not return ever. And we maybe try to pretend you do." Elizabeth fought back.

  This made Akira's demeanor ge as his eyes turned serious "[Identify]" and ihe name of her former skill.

  She felt the mana wave hit her straight on, but the mana itiful at best sihe [Hero] hadn't bothered to either level up the skill or allot stat points oatus. So she simply rebuffed it.

  "Was that all? I didn't eveo use [Privacy]." Elizabeth smirked as she preteo dust the dirt from her shoulder with disdain. "So? What will it be? The Easy way? Or the hard way?"

  And taking this ce Elizabeth fired back the same words Akira had said to her. For his part, Akira's eyes only narrowed more and more, and she felt the mana within him start to thrum with power.

  "How dare you..." He started as a distortion in the air behind him started to expand, it looked as if someone had thrown a stone in a calm ke, as if waves in the space seemed to be formed behind him. "...A mere side character....a toy to be enjoyed...to mock me? ME?!?"

  And then, for half a sed, Elizabeth could swear that his eyes had ged from his bck color to red.

  "[Hero's Armory: Hrunting]" Akira intoned as behind him those distortions seemed to focus on an array of multiple metallic points ing from empty air. "[The Sword that never fails.]" Of course, these tips of swords didn't say as such.

  And with a flick of his wrist, they got shot at Elizabeth with amazing speed. There were about fifteen such swords flying toward her, ea exact replica of the , all with ill-boding patterns in red on the side of their bde.

  But she didn't have time to think about it, nor about the weird red glint she had seen in Akira's eyes, instead, she prepared her defe wasn't something plicated nor hard. "[Rhongomyniad Units Online]" She activated the inbuilt system in her [Shift].

  That was all she did while jumping backward as she turned on her [Flight] unit and hovered on as her bits flew straight at the swords. They turned on a yellowish energy barrier to try and stop the swords, half of them mao either deviate or straight up stop them, but some mao past her impromptu defense.

  To those she raised her arms and fired the ons on her arms, most of these were preloaded with her spare [Mana Regeion] so she wasn't losing anything on it.

  "I thought it would be harder to fight a [True Hero]," Elizabeth said as she stopped the st sword, it fell onto the arena floor and turned into motes of light. Mere replicas, she had studied some legends while preparing for this.

  Since Akira's [Hero Armory] seemed to summon ons from a heroes...Or attempted to do so at least, sihe ones he had summoned while seemed to be in lih the story of the object...They failed at bringing the more [Fantasy] aspect of the on iion.

  The Spear he used against Rossie was of the right design and materials, but didn't live up to the story it held in the media, the shield he had used to defend itself was the same. And now these swords...

  "For being a Sword that [Never failed], it failed quite well didn't?" Elizabeth mocked Akira as she dismissed the robot drone units that had beeroyed or damaged. They re-materialized as part of her [Shift], but were mere decorations.

  "YOU DARE MOCK ME?!?" Akira screamed while pointing at her with his sword, the sword started shining with golden light, but to her [Dragon Eyes], that light wasn't golden at all and seemed more bd murky.

  She had noticed that most of the people around shoh different colors aures under her [Eyes], some held a degree of color depending on their nature of course.

  Rena for example shone in red warm light, but her color was muted under a thick coat of bck sludge.

  Michael shone in blue cold light, not hostile cold, but more of a refreshing cold you wanted under a summer night.

  Rossie shone in pastel pink light, but hers was a color that seemed to be full of thorns hiding a sweet st.

  And then it was Akira...He was bathed in a sludge-like dark color that seemed to irradiate and stick to those around him, she could see evidence of his mana in some girls oands. And while most males seemed to be absent of it, those that seated he girls affected were under his influeo some degree.

  "I'M THE ONE AND TRUE HERO HERE! NOT YOU WANNABES! I WAS CHOSEN!" He started raving on about his pce, "I WILL SAVE THE WORLD!"

  And as if that wasn't enough, he started shining with the usual golden light that one expected a true [Hero] to have, even if to her eyes it wasn't golden at all and was more of a sludge-like dark.

  "[True Hero Shift - Envoy of the gods]!" Said Akira as his whole body was covered in a golden-like armor. She noticed that under her eyes a made of bck maended from his right arm straight towards Rena.

  "[Mistress there is an unknown mana siphon stuto Hero Cadet Watanabe Rena, she seems to be fueling some kind of mana matrix. We 't interrupt nor cut the e, it seems to be a one-way-only e with Watanabe Rena providing 99% of her mana as ht now.]" Her Royal mages reported.

  That [] seemed awfully familiar, it looked like the one she shared with Rossie, but...Uheirs, this one seemed to be one way only...One way only to Akira that is.

  And unlike hers that ected at her [Heart], Akira's ected to his right hand...The bastard didn't even make a proper e.

  "SEE? THIS IS THE [PROOF] OF MY CLAIM! I HAVE A [Sed Form]!" Akira said as he pranced around the Arena floor, as if everyone o see him. "I will grant you o ce Lizzy, [Kneel]."

  He said as if it was the most obvious thing. As if it was the right thing. She eve a new mana thread try to form her way, this one from his left hand. "I may even [Allow] you to py with Rena...Hell, I may eve you keep her as a [Pet] like what you have with Lina."

  ...A pet?

  He thought her retionship with Rossie was that of an owner and a [Pet]?

  "Hahahahahah." Elizabeth couldn't help but ugh, "I had wondered what you would say, what would you try to do when trying to get under my skin."

  She felt the mana thread try to worm into her [Heart] as she eaking, and with a flick of her will she [DEVOURED] it, her mana ripped it apart aed on it, then tried to follow the liraight to its source.

  "GAH!" And it was a quick rea from Akira's sword that severed it as her mana was closer to getting to him. "...what are you?"

  He asked her as he nursed his left hand, "Me? I have been many things." Elizabeth said as she nded on the arena floor once more, "I was the daughter of a world-css model and an Engineer of a power pnt."

  That had been an iing bination her parents had for normal civilian life. "I was the daughter of a top-css S-tier Hero and Arch wizard-css Magical Girl." Not that her Mother was stuck at that tier, but mostly because she didn't want to deal with otherworldly entities, aka gods or devils.

  "In another world and another life, I was the [S] of a multi-world pany that encroached the whole world..." Of course, Akira had no idea what she eaking about, or so she thought, but his face said otherwise. "And then in a parallel universe of this world...I was the daughter of the most powerful powered couple to ever exist."

  Not that she knew how that life went about, since [Aliever shared too much of that, even if she implied that she was the version of her that was the daughter of Ea.

  "But here? Right now?" Elizabeth smiled as her shadows started to expand all around them. "I'm [The D???????????????E???????????????????????????V???????????????????O????????????????????U????????????????????????R?????E????????????????????R?????????????] and your time is running out ?."

  All around them the shadows rose and enclosed them in a dark sphere, from the outside it was your average dark barrier, but on the inside... Thousands upon thousands of azure sky eyes opened and they all looked at Akira.

  "...So you weren't a mere NPC but [Evil]." Akira said as he turned around and saw all the eyes and dragon maws surrounding them, "...You will need [Punishment], but it's okay...I will REDEEM you. It is my job as a [True Hero] after all."

  And while Elizabeth hadn't ged her [Shift] like Akira had, she had fully opened her [Eyes], a azure blue fme had started burning in her eyes and they turned from those of a human, to those that resembled more a [Dragon].

  Her [Heart] had started beating faster too, and her mana was flooding her veins, she could feel her skin crag under her armor too, and then mending itself back as her [Body Tempering] and [Endurance] skills started w overtime.

  "[Hero's Armory: Excalibur]" Akira intoned as a new distortion in space maed and his katana ged from a traditional Izanami sword to a traditional knight's sword.

  From the single curved bde form into a double-edged sword, it shrank a few timeters too and its haurned from an ored to a more practical one.

  It seemed incredibly mundane for a sword with that kind of name, and she found that funny in some degree, even if she shouldn't, as her course of a was more dangerous.

  "[Mistress, no further mana incursion has beeed within DOMAIN it seems that the teachers will let this go. There are some passive dete spells that feed the current life force of Akira and yourself, but those seem to be easy enough to hijack when needed.]"

  So she could theoretically kill Akira and disguise it as either an act or a mistake, and she would be burned for that in her file...Or not, since Akira could get away with raping women she should be able to get away with murder. And if anything, Rossie roof that you could get away with that so long you were valuable enough.

  So she o prove her value huh?

  Time to showcase her value then.

  Akira robably getting by with his [Skill] that allowed him to summon allegedly legendary onry and armors from legends, even if their appearance was substandard and their power was depe on Akira's overpowered stats thanks to his [I'm Justice] skill.

  "[KNEEL!]" And then after saying as such Akira swung his sword down. He was far away from her, the swing would never hit anything besides the air. What was he even trying to do? Wind pressure never hurted anyone unless you got at least 20 levels or 100 stat points above the other in strength vs stitution. Or whatever one used as a defense.

  This wasn't a children's book-

  "[DODGE!]" The order came almost as soon as Akira's downward swing started to shine in her eyes. The murky mana-like substaig to his sword started expanding in a beam-like energy.

  The bastard rojeg his mana into the sword and then shooting it as if nothing, swords didn't work like that, and aura bde didn't work like that. It wasn't even a real thing unless you had a [Skill] that made it work like that. And Akira didn't have one.

  So how had he dohat?

  [Skills], his godgranted godbullshit skill!

  "[Shadow Puppeteer]" Elizabeth intoned as she activated her trump card for this whole event. She felt the influence of the skill embedded into her body and with a flick of her will her body gracefully danced around the attack.

  She felt herself do a step ba a diagonal as the thruster in her armor started firing up granting her more speed, the attack of Akira was not only fast and sharp, but she could see the immense amount of mana packed into it, she wasn't sure how he was doing that. He shouldn't have nearly enough [Mana] to do it.

  "[Appraisal]" Elizabeth intoned as she directed the skill towards Akira.

  He only smirked at her "That will no-" and then his face fell, it turned into an ugly scowl as he gred her way "How did you get past my [Divine Heroic Defenses]?"

  Elizabeth for her part only focused on what her skill was telling her, she had used the shadow scouts that had wormed themselves into Akira's Shadow, his murky mana didn't seem to focus too much there, so for now her scouts were okay...For now.

  "You increased the amount of [Intelligence] a you don't know?" Taunted Elizabeth as she saw his atus sheet, he had pumped his stitution too. That may be a problem, she had expected him to waste more points in other parts. Just like how he had wasted 100 extra points in his [Agility] that robably his ego being struck by how fast Rena could move.

  oing about how she had gracefully dodged his attack.

  "[IDENTIFY]" Akira intoned while smming all the extra mana he had gained into the skill.

  It turned once more into a murky-like thread of mana that shot towards her, and just like those before *[B??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????E????????????????????????]?* she allowed her mana to retaliate as she fuhe [Devourer] within. And as before Akira recoiled as the skill backsh hit him head on.

  "...Aha!" Akira excimed as he smirked at her, "I finally uand it, you aren't an NPC at all are you?"

  Had this [Idiot] finally got it? That he wasn't the protagonist of a story? That this was the real world? That the girls he was raping were real people that suffered and whose lives he had tarnished?

  "You...are a [Pyer] like me aren't you?" Akira said vinced of his reasoning, "You gotta tell that sooner man, for a sed I had thought that you were a girl or something."

  ...What?

  "Man, I know some had kinks like those, but had I known you were a man on the inside I wouldn't have tried to get into your panties, unless you want that is. I don't mind it, the exterior is appetizing enough." Akira smirked at her, as if he had discovered the most importa of all. As if he had [Won] already.

  "...Yeah no, you don't have any funing brain cell in that do you?" Elizabeth asked as she did a quick check of her mana reserves, making sure the murky mana of Akira was being digested and analyzed as they fought.

  "...haaah." Akira sighed as his grip on the sword was reinforced, "I was thinking...you know, maybe I let you go. If we both were pyers, the world is full of fug stupid NPCs as is. Yood-looking enough to spare your [Disrespect] of a [True Hero] like me...But even if you are a [Pyer]...No, especially if you are a [Pyer]. I will [Break] you, [Pound you] into [Submission], and make yret ever [Crossing] me...Not that there will be something ihat [Empty blonde head] of yours."

  Elizabeth wasn't sure what was worse of this, the fact that he [THOUGHT] himself some kind of chosen one (Even if he teically was one), or if he thought that she was ooo (Even if she teically also was one...Even if only because her parents had bee [Gods] and thrown their blessings her way).

  And that way to refer to himself, [Pyer], did he think that this world was within a [Game] or something? Granted her Mother had spoken about worlds that had leaked into other pnes as [Inspiration] and in turn in those worlds the same history of these ped as a narrative, be it a game, book, or animated series. But did he think that those worlds existed because someone could tap into the [History] of those pnes?

  That was stupid, that was beyond stupid, a [Pne] did because someone could tap into their [History], those people could tap into the [History] because the [Ped in the first pce!

  "You will [Fail]," Elizabeth said as the shadows that had covered the whole pce started to stir under her and, Akira only eyed them and grunted, emitting a mana wave that created a circle under his feet where those shadows couldn't get close. "Not because I'm one of those [Pyers] you speak about, not because I cim to be a [God-chosen Hero]. No...You will [Fail] because you pointed your dirty mana Rossie's way. You will [Fail] because you abused your powers...And more importantly, you will fail for one very important reason."

  Elizabeth had been building to this important fact, something that could get Akira to lose trol over his temper, she needed him to over-it, she needed him to not think, just so she could [Steal Rena] from him long enough to [Help] her.

  Even if the red-haired girl didn't want it she would do it...And now that Rena had actually e to her senses (Even if for a moment) and asked for her [Help]. Yeah, she would do it.

  "And why would a [God-Chosen Hero] lose to someohat cims nothing like you?" Akira smirked at her, "You do know a [Hero] always wins, and an [God-chosen] always is the [Protagonist] of their tale. No matter the world."

  "You will lose because while you are [The Promised Hero] you also are [The one who ran away]." Elizabeth smiled sweetly as her words trailed and Akira's face morphed from a sneer of victory into pure hatred.

  And with it, his mana presence, his [Skills], everything of him fred more strongly than ever.

  And this in turn allowed Elizabeth's [Eyes] to see clearly Akira for what he was. She had finally mao see the [in] of someone else, the more detailed one.
