“Sorry guys my last class finished late,

How is he holding up?”

Nakita had just came into the stands to sit beside Dante and Jose before asking,

She saw a grim look on their faces as their attention was plastered on Riku’s match.

“Come on guys it can’t be that bad-”

Nakita’s remark was cut short when she saw the deep lacerations on Riku’s back and him already being cornered,

Nakita gave a crooked smile..

“We at least he is moving like a second year… sort of”

As usual Nakita was trying to look on the bright side but the situation for Riku was still getting Grim. 

-

BAM!

BAM!

Two claw marks ripped the concrete wide open as Riku dodged. 

Even Riku himself was surprised he was able to dodge afterall the last thing he remembered was feeling his hair stand on end. It was like his muscles were moving automatically. 

 

His body seemed to not care about how much pain he was in or awkward position, he legs just kept it moving. 

 

Riku fired his pistol and he slid across the floor leaving a streak of blood. 

 

Ivan was forced to jump back and protect his face while the bullets gnashed at his metallic claws. 

 

By the time the firing subsided and Ivan looked he had already been grazed by a few of the bullets. Sure nothing had hit him head on but just the fact that the bullet of a first year had grazed him was impressive. 

It had to be noted that as a second year Ivan was well aware of how to predict bullets enough to dodge the average shooter but Riku’s rhythm was off. 

 

Riku didn’t shoot at the same pace and even his muscle flinch was different from the normal civilian. 

Not to mention he was moving like a retarded second year. 

 

These factors all fused to make Ivan feel like he was fighting some weird autistic genius. 

 

Ivan wiped the blood from his shoulder and licked it. 

 

A wide smile appeared on his face. Ivan really did look like a beast. Ivan curled his body looking like a spring ready to pounce. 

 

Like an attacking mountain lion he leaped at Riku who was still running and firing at Ivan, 

 

In mid air Ivan twisted and dodged the bullets before landing on the conveyor belt that Riku was shooting from.

 

Once again Ivan pounced in Riku’s direction straight through the gunfire but Riku managed to drop to the floor just in time to watch as Ivan flew across the room landing on another column.

 

Riku tried to crawl away again but like a fountain his shoulder suddenly spread a thin stream of blood across the floor. 

 

The pain took a few seconds before it hit Riku. But Ivan was already pouncing towards him so Riku was forced to grit his teeth and jump away again. 

 

This time Riku fired at Ivan before he landed on the next column but Ivan still managed to dodge the bullets despite his back being turned. 

 

In truth Ivan didn’t dodge these bullets. It was just Riku’s body starting to give way under the massive amount of blood loss, he was obviously shaking. 

If Ivan had to guess, Riku certainly wouldn’t last much longer under these circumstances. 

 

Ivan shook his head after all he wanted Riku to suffer some more but his weak constitution didn’t seem like it would hold out. 

 

Ivan bounced off the pillar and jumped up higher on an adjacent column trying to get the high ground. 

 

Before long he was already touching the ceiling of the factory and pounced down claws first ready to rip Riku to shreds. 

 

Riku, despite Ivan’s pouncing and bouncing around kept trailing him with bullets non-stop. 

But even now when Ivan was directly in front of him… or above him rather, Riku still couldn’t land a solid hit.

The most Riku got was giving him a few grazes here and there. 

That was until -

“AAARGH!”

Ivan was sent rolling from out of midair holding his back flexing and curling in pain. 

Riku, who had already dodged Ivan’s landing, was standing off to the side and had an evil grin. 

 

[BAM!]

 

Riku fired another shot at the squirming Ivan.

[AAAARGHHH!]

 

Ivan’s shout resounded even louder as he tried to hold his leg with the bullet hole. 

 

“Did you know bullets could bounce too?”

RIku was the one who asked. Riku didn’t wait for an answer and continued to speak to the squirming Ivan.

[BAM!]

 

[BAM!]

 

Another round was fired and Ivan was left holding his ears that were now shot off. Ivan held his head and rolled on the floor, his blood painting the factory floor. 

 

“Well you did say you wanted someone to suffer today right?”

[BAM!] 

another round went straight through Ivan’s hand that was holding his missing left ear.

“Well is someone learning their place like your buddy Laath wanted?”

Riku seems to have turned into a completely different person the moment he started winning. 

 

The few students who were watching his match all turned their heads surprised by the gruesome approach Riku decided to take. 

[BAM!]

 

[BAM!]

[BAM!]

Riku purposely avoided all the major organs and blood vessels just to make sure Ivan lasted as long as possible. 

In the end Ivan ended up bleeding out before Riku even though Riku had his back blown open like a drunk school girl. 

Meanwhile the few audience members who witnessed the fight were petrified….

twenty eight… Riku shot him twenty eight times before ending the match. 

 

This kid was surely the devil incarnate! 

 

“Winner is Riku! Riku has been promoted to Rank 505th.” 

The announcement shook the few audience members that heard it. 

“But .. but that’s impossible!” the students whose world views were turned upside down looked at the prompt in bewilderment. 

Meanwhile Dante and Jose were busy cheering their asses off.

“YEAHHHHHHHH! never doubted my boy for a second!”

Dante was the one who screamed first and even Nakita had to look around since never in her life did she expect to hear Dante talk so vulgarly. 

But Jose was more shocked at the choice of words rather than the emotions, afterall Jose knew Dante wasn’t really cheering for Riku but what he represented to him.

Jose smacked Dante in the head 

“YEAAAHHH! I told you he could do it!”

 

Riku hearing his new found friends cheer was smiling too but then,

‘Blam!’

Riku fell flat on the factory floor before the nanoties started to disintegrate. 

 

Surprisingly though as the surroundings started to disappear so did the wounds on both Riku, and Ivan who was laying on the ground. 

 

Riku got up and was shocked to see the wounds that were on his back disappear and even Ivan was now getting up.

 

Riku stepped back ready to fight but then he realized his pistols had also disintegrated. 

Ivan got up and dusted off himself.

“HM!.. I won’t even waste my time.

Austin will take care of you!”

Almost immediately Ivan disappeared. 

If Riku had to guess he was probably still embarrassed by how Riku had dealt with him for the school to see. After all, all these fights were recorded. 

And never before had a first year managed to beat a second year student. This was the lowest of disgrace he could experience and was like spitting on the prestige of every second year in the school at once. 

 

But Riku really had to wonder, was Ivan the one spitting on the second years or was he? 

 

If the latter was true then Riku had just painted a humongous target on his own back. 

 Riku had to wonder, was this a victory or the start of something he would never live to see the end of?
