Continuation of Apollo''s POV.


    That punch was strong however my guard didn''t fall down as my eyes saw how his stats changed.


    "His status says Spirit assimtion"


    What is Spirit Assimtion?


    Besides that, his total stats and a sudden added skill made it even more confusing. Previously he only had a single skill, a passive one. It was the martial art he is currently using other than that he doesn''t have other skills or abilities.

    mes are bursting through while a bird-like being begins to form around Ren''s


    "Yuan?"


    My eyes went wide while my heart began to beat fast as if I saw someone I longed to see.


    [It seems the illusion made you highly fond of Yuan]


    I don''t think so


    It wasn''t an illusion


    I wasn''t fond of Yuan either


    This feeling originated from the love I saw between Yuan and his brother, it was something I longed to have.


    [The heat is escting fast, if this continues that boy might get swallowed. The power of the spirit is far too strong for him to wield]


    "Then I suppose I have no choice but to intervene"


    I powered my foot with my ki and instantly I arrived right in front of him. However, my presence made the mes even more powerful.


    [The spirit is identifying you as an enemy]


    "Yeah I noticed"


    But despite the burning power of Guardian, I felt a different type of pain.


    "So up until now, you are still protecting him"


    I can''t help but say, as I realized why he suddenly appeared here.


    ~Blessings from the Fire spirit (Rank A) {Active} - Due to the incident in his past life he gained the affection of the Fire spirit Guardian. The total amount of buff can be depended on the wielder''s emotion~


    Due to a past life


    "Ha" I felt a sudden pain


    "So you found your brother after all these years"


    Just how much love do have for him that after thousands of years, you will go as far as to look for his reincarnation?


    He doesn''t even remember you


    Jun died thousands of years ago, but his soul survives and reincarnates as Ren.


    "Man, why do I have a trash brother while others have someone who would do anything for them"


    I can''t help but say.


    I felt angry


    I felt jealous


    I also wanted that


    Why I can''t have it?


    Then suddenly I felt nothing


    I can''t help but sigh.


    I don''t want to think of it anymore. I am already tired, let''s end this thought of wanting something you will never have. My decision has been made six years ago, and it will never change.


    "Ah? Was this what you nned?"


    First Yuan and this, it was all nned to make me hesitate.


    Could it be? Mom?


    I felt angry and my emotion red my power. My mana burst through almost blowing up the arena. Fortunately, Jeremiah absorbed some of my power and only released a part that wouldn''t cause suspicion.


    [Creator]


    "I know"


    With my power being released Guardian didn''t like it at all.


    "Stand down I won''t hurt your brother Yuan"


    I said while retracting my power.


    "I know you just want to protect him but you manifesting like this would only cause him more pain than saving. You might kill him if you continue this"


    Then as I said that the fire began to flicker, as if it was hesitating about something.


    "I won''t harm him"


    I added and this time he seemed to listen and slowly hepletely disappeared.


    "There, now then"


    I said and as soon those words came out of my mouth, my eyes saw five Eastern students suddenly arrive pointing their weapons at me.


    Three boys pointed their des behind me, one girl in the front holding a bow while the remainingdy had her spell aimed at my head.


    "Put your hand down, Lionheart"


    A boy with ocean blue hair said while his de pointed at my neck.


    "Hey you better pull that dull sword out of my friend''s neck"


    A carefree and mischievous tone of voice came to my ears making me smile crazily.


    Bathing in the sun''s bright light a shining spiky red hair can be seen. In his hand is a de which he used to kill his enemy in the Eleven Temple.


    "It''s better to put down that de you might hurt yourself"


    I heard another person speak, I knew exactly who it was without needing to see the golden pieces of light that surrounded us.


    No wonder they came here fast.


    He used his blessings.


    "And who the hell are you people"


    "Us? We are the students of the lower ss"


    Matilda''s voice oozed sarcasm as she held a dagger at a girl''s neck, because that girl had one of her ice spikes pointed at me.


    [The Eastern students are strangely murderous, never anticipated that a bunch of five thirteen-year-old kids would point a de at your neck]


    "I suppose their training made them this way"


    I can only reply while the tension esctes. To be honest I have no idea why those Eastern students suddenly pointed their weapons at me.


    [It must be because you suddenly released a threatening amount of energy, they just thought you nned to kill Ren]


    "And why the seven hells would I even do that?"


    [That I don''t know]


    Back to the current situation, five students all had their weapons at me while all my friends were there, not letting them get their way.


    However none of the professors dared to intervene, I wonder what are they nning.


    [Probably to see which side will yield first or if someone will try to mend the situation]


    What an outrageous idea


    "Everyone put your weapons down!"


    I heard a femininemanding voice, with her words the five students whose spells and weapons were pointed at me wavered.


    "I said put it down!"


    She shouted firmly establishing her stance, finally, those five put their weapons down while my friends put down theirs as well.


    "We are sorry for my friend''s sudden action"


    I heard her speak so I finally looked back, I moved my eyes away from the unconscious Ren and looked at the person who stopped the situation from escting.


    Avender colour hair along with sapphire eyes, a girl stood in front of me while her ssmates went behind her.


    "It''s okay"


    I began to say "It must have been my fault that they reacted that way, my previous action might have given them the wrong notion. So maybe we can just let go of each other''s actions"


    I told her that though my friends definitely didn''t like how our supposed honor guest suddenly attacked me.


    "Yes but I will apologize again because what my friends just did was uncalled for"q


    I merely nodded while beckoning everyone to return to our seats.


    "Vice headmaster, if you may"


    I looked at the man who currently holds the highest status at this academy, and the way I see it he seems disappointed that nothing happened a while ago.


    Seriously this man, he still has theseplex ideas about me. This started ever since the start of the school year, I can feel he often put eyes on me, though I always evade all of it. However, because of that action, I became someone he puts great interest in. Especially when I caused multiple missing cases and mysterious appearances of corpses.


    I just hope he doesn''t suspect me


    [I highly doubt it]


    The vice headmaster who was among the professors walked out of the sideline benches and walked slowly towards the stage. When he finally arrived he began to address the students.


    "I believe that was a very intense match and shows the great strength and power of both academies. See how fast and efficient friends can be when they see their friend being mobbed"


    Seriously you are not helping, the vice headmaster however continues to speak.


    "Well then since the first match ended with our Apollo winning, may I ask the Eastern Academy students to choose their new representative and the student they will fight"


    Since the next match is starting I urge Aaron to teleport us back.


    "We don''t have any business here, we should head back"


    They nodded with my words, however when Aaron was about to take us to our seats a voice suddenly prevented us from leaving.


    "Him! I want him to fight me!"
