“If you want to kill each other, do it outside the academy,” reprimand Rafa in the middle of the arena. “Here, you guys will only damage the facilities and hurt everyone.”
Ardan and Shujin were both silent when rebuked by Rafa. They do not want to look for fuss again with people who have no connection to the problems of both.
“Actually, I don't really understand the core of what kind of problems make this testing session a deadly battle arena. One had the intention of killing the opponent, while the other was foolishly willing to serve.”
Rafa turned to Ardan, “Ardan, you're already quite tired of testing, you shouldn't be serving him to his side.”
Then he turned to Shujin, “And you, Junior. You shouldn't attack your senior excessively. Prepare to receive sanctions from staff later for violations you committed.”
Rafa looked at the two with a half-glowed gaze accompanied by a blue glint on the tail end of his eyes, looking like a psychopath who was ready to slaughter anyone who dared to oppose him.
Rafa's tone sounded very deep and intimidating when uttering threats.
“If anyone protests, come forward if you dare. I'll chop off your heads and I'll stab you at the top of the academy tower monument.!”.
Both of them are silent, flat expression, reluctant to retaliate against the threat of Rafa. The spectators in the stands were horrified by the intimidating aura that existed in Rafa.
The young man looked hideous when giving a threat, especially with his large tall posture standing firmly shouldering a red scythe.
It was really like a life-seeking demon that was ready to deliver the souls of many people straight into hell.
“Haaah..” Ardan let out a calm breath.
This is why Ardan is often anxious about Rafa's mental state. Sometimes, Rafa's psychopathic nature can crumble. Because as told by his father, the genealogy of the Novan Family is already mentally problematic.
Basically, the average Descendants of Novan from the Grim are genius, manipulative, and always have an important role in the field of politics and war.
But their mental problems. Sometimes they have almost no empathy, obsessed with war and death. And mental problems that have become a disease of heredity that can sometimes recur at certain times.
The role of Arni and Astan in the life of Grim and his descendants has made the Descendants of Novan look more human. Now Ardan will not let the mentality of Rafa, Nadia, and their two brothers meet again. Ardan already considers them all like his own biological family, as much as possible he will make them more human.
Ardan raised one hand, “Oi, Man.”
Rafa turned to look at Ardan with a still intimidating look.
“Singkirin first dong leechesmu. We promise we won't attack each other again, deh.” Then Ardan held up two fingers.
Rafa was still silent for a while when he saw Ardan's slightly silly gesture.
Then, the tall young man asked, “Yakin, won't come again?”
“Yes how do we want to attack? You've also eliminated that scythe nyeremin. Almost pissed I you made.”
“Ahahaha Rafa laughed in response to Ardan's ridiculous scolding.
Indeed, this is one way Ardan so that Rafa's mental illness is not recurrent, namely by communicating more friendly.
If someone else was acting silly like Ardan, it might end up with a head floating, slashed away from the body. But because Rafa still has empathy and is aware that Ardan is his cousin, he can more casually respond to it.
“Dih.... Though you've always seen these weapons,” said Rafa after laughing.
“I'm tired, Raf.... My mind is everywhere again..!”
“OK, okay.”
In a single flick, the two leech monsters that confronted Shujin and Ardan vanished into a pool of blood.
Accompanied by a calmer feeling, Rafa again reprimanded, “I won't tell you to apologize to each other. Your forgiveness can be done on the basis of your own awareness. After all, your commotion is none of my business either.”
“Cuman, I don't want you guys getting worse at fighting to the point of injuring a lot of people here and destroying the facility. The staff had almost decided to involve the higher-ups if this problem continued.”
“Well, Ardan.” Rafa asked the young man who was still in a bare chest, “This testing should have been completed. Now, give me the result of your decision. Are there some juniors who enter the criteria to pass the test and are entitled to additional grades?”
“Hmm...”.
Ardan thought for a moment, recalling who the juniors who were considered great in the test had faced him.
“So, from the tests I did earlier, there are some juniors that I consider to pass and deserve additional value to save as a semester value later.”
Ardan also announced, “Nadia and Chrysanthemum was already quite great facing me, they I assume escaped.”
“Yey!”
In the stands, Nadia was excited because she could escape testing, even she hugged the Chrysanthemum which still looked plain flat as usual even though she was also announced to pass the test.
“Trio WekaWeka too. Although they can still be disabled easily, but they long enough to survive the testing.”
“Yey!” -Didi
“Hore!” - Dodo
“Ng.” - Tajang
The WekaWeka trio also cheered cheerfully as it was considered to have successfully escaped the test.
This time, Ardan turned to look at Shujin who was standing far ahead. However, unlike before when Ardan was angry and tried to beat Shujin all out, he instead showed a friendly smile to Shujin.
“If you tried to paralyze me as if you wanted to kill me, I tried to give a fair assessment here.” Ardan explained, “You I assume escaped also because your ability was amazingly great. But, it is still not enough to defeat me to the point that you are pressed to instill poison into my body.”
“Isn't that a coward?” ardan was impressed. “Oh, yes! In the field of battle, we can do various ways to defeat the enemy and even act like cowards. But, the fitting time again ngetes gini until the whole act?”
Shujin sharpened his eyes and then looked down, reluctant to see Ardan's irritating expression.
Although Ardan asserted that he was trying to give fair value, the young man still had time to give sarcasm to Shujin.
Actually, Shujin doesn't need judgment from a lowly person like Ardan. But how else? His position is cornered here. He has been deemed to be breaking the rules and has been rebuked by other seniors. Even if there was no Rafa who gave a rebuke, he would definitely get into trouble in front of the academy's top brass.
Here, Shujin sighed. Supposedly, he did not get too carried away by the deep irritation on Ardan to make him not hesitate to paralyze Ardan.
“Stop trying to lure people's emotions, Dan..” reprimand Rafa again.
“Ya, sorry..” said Ardan briefly.
Rafa spoke to Shujin again, “You have a great ability for a young junior like you. But, you're too careless in your act. Therefore, you must accept the consequences for your arbitrary actions earlier.”
For not accepting it, Shujin dodged it in a cold tone, “You defended that childish senior because he is your friend, right?”
“Teruponlah he wants to nanggepin me what, I'm tired.” Ardan seemed unconcerned while peeling.
Indeed, from yesterday until now Ardan is tired of facing this attitude of Shujin. Yesterday, he only intended to rebuke Shujin so as not to just denigrate the academy and other juniors, but even himself who was hated until several times almost slaughtered in the arena.
“It looks.... I look like I'm playing this oyen boy..” Rafa rolled his eyes. “But try to remember again. You, come and come have directly attacked people with the frequency of the Resurrection aura that is too large, even almost damaging the protective dome of the stands. And even more fatal, you poisoned Ardan's body with a considerable dose of poison, could make Ardan paralyzed for a few days if he was not an expert in Immortality.”
Rafa continued while pointing at Shujin, “Do you know that there is no risk that students who appear to be trying to paralyze and even nearly kill other students will be punished and punished? You could be threatened with being expelled from the academy.”
Shujin was silent, reluctant to respond. What Rafa said was true, this excessive action of Shujin had already made him enter the red record of the academy, he had been dealt a foul even in the first days of the Orientation Period.
Here, Shujin was a bit hesitant, between regretting having acted rashly or satisfied enough to have taught Ardan a little lesson even though the ends were less successful.
