"Round One ends,

Nux Leander Wins.

Score, 1-0"

Arvina announced in an expressionless tone.

"H-Huh?" Candice couldn't register what had happened.

And seeing that, Nux smiled,

"Aare you sure you are the Queen of the Academy?

Because, honestly, all I see is a dumb bitch.

I mean, who the fuck talks when they are fighting?

And you did it while coming close to me.

It was as if you wanted me to win."

Nux chuckled.

"W-What?"

Candice finally registered what happened and her face distorted in anger.

"How dare you attack me like that!?

Weren't you barking about being fair and just 2 days ago!? What happened!?

Too scared to fight me fairly!?"

"It was as fair as it could get, you dumb bitch, the fight had started.

And from where I come from, we don't really talk with our opponents when we fight each other."

"Y-Y-You Bastard!" Candice shouted in rage.

"Challenger Candice, the results are announced.

Come back to where your position."

Arvina muttered and this time, although her tone was still bland and expressionless.

Nux and Candice could feel a little disappointment hidden inside it.

Nux smiled and for Candice, her face distorted in rage, however, she controlled herself and walked back to her position.

"Despicable! How can you do something like that!?" The audience finally realized what happened and someone shouted in rage.

"You call yourself a warrior!? I only see a cheater!"

"Yeah! Cheater!"

The audience started booing and taunting Nux.

Nux then turned towards the audience and shouted back,

"Oh yeah? Do you guys think you are a better judge than Teacher Arvina? Why not come down here and replace her then?"

"…"

The Audience turned silent.

Arvina glanced at Nux and narrowed her eyes.

This guy just used her to deal with the audience, placing her directly against the audience while getting out of the mess on his own.

That is not something one can come up with on a whim.

'Is he really a commoner?' Arvina thought inwardly.

Seeing his method had worked, Nux chuckled.

"L-Lady Candice! Don't worry, he just won the first round on a whim, it is the best of three! You just have to win the next two rounds!"

Someone in the audience muttered.

"Yes, Lady Candice! His tricks won't work again!"

"Yes!"

"Lady Candice! You can do it!"

The crowd then started cheering for Candice and seeing this, Nux shook his head,

"Tsk Tsk, dumb people supporting a dumb bitch,

An interesting sight indeed."

"…"

Again, the crowd turned silent and they glared at Nux with rage and hatred.

Candice was the same as well.

She can't believe that she lost one round.

This should have been a 2-0 match, now it would be 2-1!

And it was all because of this despicable bastard!

"Teacher, I am ready for the next round!"

Arvina turned towards Nux and questioned,

"Are you ready for the next round or do you need some rest?"

Nux shrugged.

"It's not like I had to do much.

Thanks to you how dumb my opponent is, I am as good as new right now."

A vein popped up on Candice's forehead.

'Hateful bastard!'

Arvina nodded and then she stepped back.

This time, Candice did not repeat her mistake and dashed towards Nux, trying to attack his head.

*Tak*

Nux blocked her attacks and their wooden swords collided.

Candice shifted her weight and attacked his waste, Nux moved his belly and attacked Candice's shoulder which she blocked with her sword.

Candice then tried to kick Nux on his neck, but Nux crouched and attacked her legs.

"Despicable indeed."

Candice jumped and muttered.

Nux completely ignored her and attacked her legs again,

This little advantage, he won't leave it so easily.

Candice, however, was better than he thought, she stepped on his sword and then, she shot toward him, trying to end this fight.

"This is the end, you bastard!"

However, then, a small smile appeared on Nux's face.

This fight was unfair, to begin with.

Unfair for Candice, of course.

She was a Master Stage Cultivator who had the advantage in speed, strength, and defence if she fought against a normal Advance Stage Cultivator.

However, Nux wasn't 'normal'.

He was a Body Cultivator as well.

Therefore, he had the complete advantage in this battle.

Seeing her coming towards him, Nux smiled and then, he stepped back.

Candice frowned, however, before she could even realise what had happened, Nux used his wooden sword to smack her face.

"Uuugghh!" Candice groaned in pain.

Nux, however, wasn't done yet.

He hit on her hand,

"Aaahh!"

*Tak*

The sword Candice was carrying fell to the ground.

And then,

Nux smiled.

"Ugghh!"

"Ugggghh!"

"AAgghhh!"

"Oogghhh!!'

Head, shoulder, arms, legs, he attacked everywhere, however, most of her hits were focused on her face.

And his hits weren't merciful at all.

"Heeeh? What did you say?

You will take everything away from me?"

Nux chuckled as he smacked his sword on Candice's right cheek.

"Ugghh!"

"My self-respect."

"Ugghh!"

Candice's tooth broke and fell on the floor.

"My status."

"Aaagghh!!"

"You? You are going to take it from me?"

Nux chuckled as he used an uppercut and punched her chin.

"Ugghhh!"

Candice lost her balance and fell to the floor.

"You think you can do that?"

Nux walked towards her and kicked her face.

"Aaggghhh!!"

Then, he stepped on her head and grinned,

"Do you have the strength to do that? Oh so mighty Queen of the Academy?"

He didn't care if Candice was a girl.

Nux was a believer of equality.

If women have the right to attack men, then men have the right to do the same.

Therefore, he stepped on Candice's face and even used some pressure to pin her head on the floor.

"AAAGGGHHHH! YOU BASTARD!"

Candice, who couldn't take this humiliation anymore roared in rage!

This bastard could have ended the fight, however, he dared to humiliate her!

He dared to step on her head!

There is no fucking way she would let him go!

"[Water Missile]!"

She used her Mana and attacked.

However, before her Skill even activated, a Strong gust of wind nullified her attack and a cold, expressionless voice was heard.

"Challenger Candice Water used Mana.

Disqualified.

Round Two ends.

Score, 2-0

This concludes today's battle.

Winner, Nux Leander."
