Chapter 55 The Dog And The Owner Are Equally Guilty

Now that Daimon knew the rules, he accepted the challenge, of course they couldn't just start fighting in the same place where the other students were eating, one of the teachers created a temporal platform with earth magic.

Once they went up the platform, the tutors gave the green light for them to start, apparently the guy that challenged Daimon, had affinity with water because not even ten seconds later he used the spell "water whip", an offensive spell which created a long and flexible flow of water to attack your enemy.

Unfortunately, his opponent was Daimon, he snapped his fingers and a huge scream echoed through the hall, most of the students felt their eyes widen while some teachers and the tutor of the A class frowned their eyebrows.

"Aghhhhh!!!", the poor guy had his four limbs pierced by black spears which elevated from the platform, he was trying to give up when suddenly a lot of black spikes emerged from his own feet and hands.

"Ghaaaa!!", this time the scream was more guttural, tears and mucus were flowing from his eyes and nose respectively, while his hands and feet were bleeding due to the hundreds of little wounds.

The room was in silence, some of the girls from other classes paled a bit, most of the students that got into this academy were of noble status so when have they witnessed such scenes.

The tutor from the A class hit the table where they were eating and shouted at Boris.

"Ogien, tell that psychopath from your class to stop, he already won the fight!!!".

Boris snorted.

"Humph, who are you to give me orders? If you knew your student was trash, then why didn't you stop him from challenging the highest ranked freshman of this year?".

Among the many teachers that were watching the show, the one that was in charge of the second test was sweating bullets, "I knew that kid's attack was dangerous", he thought.

Daimon saw that his actions produced the effect he wanted and he cancelled his spell, the black spears and all the spikes disappeared and the body of the poor guy who fainted some time ago due to the shock fell to the ground.

*Thud*

The dull sound of a body hitting the floor drew everyone's attention, whenever the guy was going to give up, Daimon made the spikes move which caused him enough pain to interrupt his midway, his feet and hands were a messy disaster after all that.

Daimon saw that all the eyes were on him and he nodded.

"If you don't want to end up like that, I will give you two advices, first, don't bother me when I'm spending time with my sister, second if you give my sister a gaze which I don't like prepare yourself to lose a limb or two depending on my mood".

…

Silence, complete sepulchral silence was the only thing that could be heard in the whole room, until Daimon continued.

"Old man Boris, you told me we can't challenge other members of the elite class, but can we challenge those from other classes?".

Boris had a weird expression on his face, "what is this kid up to", he thought but he still answered.

"Yes… in fact the first ranked has the privilege to force a duel with whoever he wants as long as it is someone in his same realm or above, but it is limited to one per day".

Daimon smiled, he pointed at the group of students from the A class with whom the guy which was now laying in the ground bleeding, was sitting before.

"I challenge him", he said.

Everyone followed Daimon's finger and their gazes fell on a blonde guy which had feathers mixed in his hair, a sign that he is a member of the Risha family a clan formed by races with bird characteristics.

The tutor of the A class, almost lost it.

"I reject his challenge; he is just trying to harm my students!!!".

Daimon laughed.

"He was the one that incited the other guy to challenge me, if a dog tries to bite you, the owner is also responsible… don't you agree Jolbaris "tutor", in any case I use my privilege as the first ranked student to force the duel, so your opinion doesn't matter".

Alexander wanted to interfere, the one being challenged was one of his subordinates after all, but he couldn't do anything, how could he lower himself to ask something from the guy that stole him the first place.

The other tutors didn't interfere, they perfectly understood that "the peeking bird is the first to be shot", who knows if they spoke on behalf that kid from the A class, that monster from the elite class might target their students instead.

Without any other choice the new participant went up the platform while some other students of the A class took the wounded body of their classmate to the infirmary.

Once the fight started, the member of the Risha family immediately tried to give up.

"I surrend… aghhhh".

But he was interrupted by spikes coming from inside his shoulders and knees, losing the support points in his legs, he fell to the ground and the only thing he saw was Daimon getting close to him, each step he took was like a knife stabbing his heart.

Contrary to what the instructor that evaluated him thought, this spell was not a second part of the black spears that Daimon used before but a completely different spell called "shadow spikes", courtesy of the system.

The blonde guy tried to speak but as soon as his voice was about to come out, he felt the spikes moving and piercing his bones deeper so he understood that the only way to put an end to this was waiting for his enemy to leave him go.

Daimon stopped walking and crouched down next to him; another black spike appeared in his hand which he stabbed in the right shoulder of the blonde guy.

"I don't care if you were ordered by someone to cause me troubles, the reason as to why you are suffering this much is because I could clearly see your intentions towards my sister".

"I'm quite a vindictive person, so I suggest you to not let me see your face again because I will challenge you every time, I see you".

Without giving the Risha family member time to answer, Daimon kicked his face with enough force to send him flying off the platform, his body fell in the middle of his "friends", who now were cowering thinking they could be the next ones on the chopping board.

Daimon left the platform, Aisha clapped a couple of times and handed him a cup with some kind of drink which he rose towards the other classes.

"In my eyes both the dog and the owner are guilty, so think it twice before sending someone to do the dirty job because I will know, there is enough days in two years for me to "challenge" everyone of you, and I promise that the next time I won't be as merciful".

His serious expression suddenly changed to a grin.

"That being said, I wish you all a good year".

All the other classes remained silent, what was being domineering, this was being domineering!!!

There were different reactions to what Daimon said, some were angry, some were in awe, some felt intimidated but they all agreed on something, "how the hell was that merciful?".

The snow leopard vice principal sighed, contrary to what most of the people were thinking, she more or less guessed this was going to be the result, hell that kid dared to threaten two vice principals one of them being an Archmage from the Jolbaris family, so what could other students in the one- or two-star mage realm expect.

The tutor from the A class took his other student to the infirmary while Boris also rose his cup to accept Daimon's toast, "this is going to be such an interesting year hahaha", thought the old man.

Daimon sat down next to Aisha and continued eating as if he just didn't half kill two guys a moment ago, Aisha kept happily feeding him while thinking, "my darling stood up for me hehehe ?".

A couple of minutes later the party kept going, after all the monster from the elite class didn't seem to care about anything else than the girl that was sitting with him, so the students from the other classes just minded their own things.

At some point music started sounding in the room, to make the atmosphere festive again the snow leopard vice principal ordered the academy's marching band to play something to entertain the new students and teachers.

Daimon took a couple of desserts from a table and this time he was the one feeding Aisha, with the pass of the years he started treating his mother more like a normal girl with who he was dating, it had a special kind of charm to see her accepting his cares.

Besides that, the envious gazes he got from the other guys were a nice fuel for his ego, not like that was his intention but it was a nice bonus.

And so, the party continued, this day two members of the elite class got a tittle, Alexander who was now called "elite clown" and Daimon the one that the coming generations will know as the "Demon of the elite class".
