My System & My Academy of Superpowers - Chapter 376

“…” the referee was then left speechless when the tables turned all of a sudden, “Uh…” he could not find the right words for the situation.

Ryan was still looking down at Saori and grinning. He was out of breath, it was visible to everyone. While Saori on the other hand was not, yet she lost.

“Alright!” the referee finally broke the silence, “It is the time for your leveling game. You fought all friendly matches there are.” The referee took a glance at his watch, “It is 6:20 PM. The game is scheduled for 6:30 evening.”

“I do not care, start the game right now,” Ryan said in a cold voice. He almost hissed at the referee.

“No. since the three matches are over and we have time till the scheduled time,” he walked out of the Arena, “We will be taking a ten-minute break. I will be back in ten minutes.” he waved his hand before bowing and leaving the Arena.

“Oy!” Ryan shouted but the referee was already out of the Arena. Ryan glanced down at Saori. She was already on her feet.

“Was not that just amazing, Ryan-san?” she rubbed her chin while walking towards Ryan.

“I thought you would dodge it,”

“How could I when you pushed me from being the attacker to being the defender?”

“Huh?” Ryan’s eye went wide in surprise, he never thought Saori could figure out his tactic, “Till the next round,” Ryan turned, waved his hand, and walked away to the stands.

“…I failed.” She grunted her katana, “I failed miserably. I could not beat Ryan-san, this is over.” she rose her head and looked at the bluish sky, “Nothing can save you, Ryan-san, you can not defeat a pure vampire… although I hope you would, you know.” she grunted her collar.

“Ryan,” Devon walked to him with a bottle, “Look at you, you are tired as hell.”

“Nah, I am just- a little tired.”

“Here, let me rub you clean,” Gwen placed her napkin on Ryan’s face, then his chest and arms.

“Ryan-Kun, hey!” Ayami came running towards him, “Amazing! You beat that vampire, I- I am totally amazed!” she looked at Ryan with big eyes.

“Thanks, Ayami.” Ryan smiled, “You too, Gwen.” he added when he felt his skin being torn up.

“Uh… can I have a little talk with you? Ryan?” Devon rose and asked, “I want you to consider fighting the final game…”

“Oh, come on!” Ryan looked at Devon, “I told you, right? I am trying to get laid down with a pure vampire.”

“I am serious, Ryan, look at you,” Ryan moved his gaze down.

“What? Do not I look as handsome as always?”

“Of course, you do, Ryan,”

“Tch…” Devon clicked his tongue, “And look at that vampire,” Devon pointed behind him, “She had not even drunk one milliliter of water since your fight started,”

“Oh…” Ryan moved his eye to Saori. She was sitting alone on the other side with a napkin rubbing her neck, “Ayami, if you could, please give Saori-san a bottle of water–”

“I am serious, Ryan!” Devon shouted, “You are already tired as hell, we all can see it. And she, she does not even need water! Think rationally! The night is already above his, if something her powers will literally double!” Devon continued shouting, “Her stamina, her endurance is unbeatable! You will be tired out within a few minutes, then you will be humiliated in front of everyone!”

Ryan looked down, “…” he did not say anything, “hmm…”

Devon calmed down, “I am with you, but I can not let you be humiliated by a girl.”

“Hah,” Ryan raised his eye at Devon, “Do the impossible, see the invisible,”

“Huh?”

“Beat the unbeatable, you know, just some teenager said that to me once…” Ryan got up from his seat when he saw the referee making it back to the Arena.

“…what are you saying?”

Ryan stretched his body, “Just some teenager said when he was in love.”

“Was that teenager Ryan Walker?”

Ryan smiled, “Duh.” then he turned to Gwen, “I do not know what will happen next…”

“Hm.” Gwen nodded.

“But I want you to believe in me,” Ryan glanced at Ayami who gave him a nod, “and…” he raised his dead serious eye, “I want a power hug before going there.”

“…”

“….I am out.” Devon turned around.

“Do not die on me, Ryan,”

“What are you–” She threw her hands around his waist.

“I have got big plans for you and me. I got everything you need, do not die.”

‘I wonder what though,’

“Good grief. There is no going back,” Ryan hugged her.

“Ryan Walker-dono, Ashiro Saori-dono,” the referee started, “Please come to the Arena.”

“See ya`” Ryan waved. Gwen raised her hand and waved.

“Do your best, Ryan-Kun!”

“I would appreciate it if you stop shouting though,” he shook his head.

“Let me get a few ground rules straight,” when Saori and Ryan had reached the Arena, the man started, “First, no one dies. If your opponent is about to die you stop right there. Move a finger, I will make sure you will not be able to move that finger for the rest of your life. You get the anatomy.”

‘I get more than just the anatomy though…’ Ryan gulped. He started feeling the man’s strong presence.

“Second. My decision will be final. If I say he lost so he lost. No arguments. And… I am not bribed by anyone.”

“I do not have money to bribe anyone,” Saori shrugged.

“I do not either.”

“I know you do not. That is not my point.” he sighed, “Alright, the third and the final rule… you fight with all you have got. If you hold back, it might result in your death. So fight the leveling game fairly!” he shouted, “Now get ready.” he spoke quietly.

Ryan walked back to the end of the Arena. Saori did the same. “Equip your weapons,” he ordered.

Their katanas appeared on the side of their waist. “Take your stances!” he ordered further while getting off the Arena, “Ready, let the leveling game begin!”

“Argh!”

“Ahh!”

They both let out a small shout as they charged at each other with the intention of being the aggressive one.
