My System & My Academy of Superpowers - Chapter 379

Ryan stabbed his katana in Saori’s neck. Nothing happened, the shield covering her was still very effective. Ryan was not able to break through it.

Saori saw that Ryan can not pierce through her defense yet, she started getting off the ground, ‘Was I sweating things for nothing?’ she thought.

Ryan continued stabbing her, pinning her on the ground but she managed to get up on her knees. Ryan stopped stabbing. He moved the katana to his left side.

“This might hurt a lot.” Saori thought, “I can not let it hit me.” She had very little time remaining with her.

Instead of getting off the ground, she tensed her toes and pushed herself backward. She rolled on the Arena, went past the borderline, and landed out of the Arena.

Again tensing her thick thighs and strong claves, Saori pushed herself off the ground. At vampiric speed, she reached Ryan, aimed her katana at him.

“Tch.” Ryan changed his attack and tried dodging her attack, “Too slow. I can predict your moves.” he told Saori in a low voice.

Saori pushed her body’s weight forward and applied all of her strength in her arms, “Then may you predict my moves!” she replied.

Slam!

“I can predict–” Ryan’s feet lifted off the ground, he felt his body losing weight, “W- what…?”

“There you go.”

Bam!

Saori’s legs left Ryan’s stomach. Ryan started moving in the air backward. Saori landed on the ground after kicking Ryan.

“HOW?!” Ryan screamed. His eyes started losing their color, “Shit!” He brought his katana down. Ryan stabbed his katana in the ground, the ground started scraping out because of Ryan.

He stopped only a few feet away from the Arena’s end line. With a stinging pain, Ryan’s left eye closed again. ‘What the… I thought-‘ Saori suddenly appeared.

“Time out, Ryan,” Professor replied, “The time limit for a breakthrough.”

‘Does breakthrough even has a time limit?!’ Ryan raised his katana.

“I will and… I will have to turn the tables.” Saori bit her lower lip while trying to find an opening instead of using brute strength, “Tch. it is not going to work.” she gave up on the idea of finding an opening, “I will make an opening.” she lifted her katana.

“Attack.” Ryan muttered as he dodged Saori’s attack, “Attack,” he started murmuring the same word over and over, “Attack, attack, attack…”

His hand was firmly placed on his katana which was inside the scabbard, “Attack!” he shouted.

A katana came rushing towards Saori, it was covered in a red hue which almost blinded her eyes. Ryan’s katana was deflected by Saori’s counter.

“An opening!” she brought her katana up and increased the speed of movement.

Ryan changed the grip of his katana to reverse grip, ‘I almost let my guard down.’ Ryan pushed her katana away from his waist.

“Double my stats. Activate the berserker class.”

“Are you sure, Ryan? You will not be able to use it again till seven minutes have passed,”

“I am sure.”

< Berserk class activate. >

< Strength: 348*2 = 696 >

< Stamina: 243*2 = 486 >

‘There is no use increasing my stamina though…’

< Would you like to increase your strength stat by adding half of the stamina points? >

‘I can do that? Do it!’

< Strength: 696+243 = 939 >

‘Almost thousand.’ Ryan felt strong energy flowing through his veins, through his arms, as if they were suddenly bulging up, ‘Bloods. Use all of the Bloods I have, to buy strength points.’

< Successfully bought 60 stat points from the store, worth 50 Bloods each. >

< Strength: 348+60 = 408 >

< Berserker class activated. Strength: 408*2+243 = 1049 >

‘Above thousand. I can feel the power.’

Clang, clank, clank!

Saori was continuously hitting Ryan with her katana while he was defending against her. Yes, defending. He was simply buying time for him to increase his strength points. With 1000 points, he was unbeatable.

< Time remaining till the effect of Berserk class wears off- 2:59 minutes >

“I need to end this quickly.” Ryan dodged her quick attack and raised his katana, preparing himself for countering Saori.

Saori saw that Ryan was getting in the position of attacking her, so she got herself ready for a counterattack.

Clank!!

“W-what?!” she felt her whole body dig deep in the ground, her arms were shaking because of the vibration, “Not again–!” she has pushed down in the ground again.

‘Only if my katana was not covered in the mega shield… I might have lost it.’ she pulled her katana away and ran away from Ryan.

Ryan did not stop, he used his almost 200 KPH speed to catch up with Saori.

The both of them again got into intense sparring- more like, only Ryan was the one hitting Saori. Saori was having a hard time keeping up with Ryan’s attacks. They were intense, thanks to Ryan’s strength.

“What is wrong, Brandon general?” Steve saw Brandon getting off the chair, “This is where the things are getting interesting,”

“Aah, yeah.” he held his head in one hand, “I- I need to use the washroom, I will be back.”

“Oh. Make sure you do not miss the climax!” Atkinson jumped in. Brandon nodded and walked away.

“Fuck… I can not take their pressure. I wonder how Devon is doing down there…” he held his head in both of his hands.

“Uh…” Devon’s vision slowly started fading away. “W- what in the…?”

“Huh? That Devon man-” Ayami rushed to Devon and grabbed him from behind, “Gwen-san! Help me!” she caught Gwen’s attention.

“Oh god, what is happening to him?!” She ran up to Devon.

“Help me pull him to the chair, he is heavy,” Ayami asked for help. Gwen and Ayami took Devon to the chair.

“Here, water,” she saw that Devon was still conscious, “Drink it!” she forced the bottle in his mouth.

“What is happening to him?” Ayami asked.

“We will need to ask him,” Gwen slapped Devon’s face, “Hey! Wake up, what is wrong?”

“Ugh…” Devon leaned back in the chair, “D- do not worry. It’s just a vampire thing…”

“What? Vampires have something like a women’s thing, too?” Gwen deliberately said that to make Devon spill what is wrong.

“No… It is just that, I can not handle the pressure these two are exerting.”

“These two, Ryan and Ayami-san?”

“Hm. Ryan just had a vampire breakthrough, as I am not as strong as him… it can overwhelm me sometimes.”

“Ryan’s a vampire…? He did tell me but I thought he was kidding…”

“Why would he kid around with you, Gwen?” Devon got up, “Brandon might have also left the stands.”

Gwen walked a few steps away, glanced at the stands, “Yes. he is not there.”

“Knew it…” Devon closed his eyes and held his head in his hands, “…this pressure… I can barely keep up with it…”

“Is Ryan-Kun… too strong?” Ayami asked.

“No. he told me he is just a Hybrid vampire now and his level is somewhere around 30?”

“Then it should not be that much of a harm…” Ayami replied, “Thirty is not much, you know, Saori-san is ninety plus after all…”

“You are right, Ayami-san…” Gwen agreed with her.

“I told you…. It is a vampire thing.”

“Well, what happens if this continues?”

“Nothing. I will lose my consciousness. When I wake up, I will have a severe headache.”

“You should leave the Arena then,”

“Nah. I can keep up with this much,” Devon replied.

“Oh… Rigid and others are here…” she saw three people walking to the stands above them.

“Do not call him, he will go through a big shock if he knows what is going on,”

“Can not he sense vampires like you?”

“Yes. maybe he already knows Ryan’s a vampire by now,”

“Eddie is with them too…” Gwen looked at them, “She is the third wheel, I am guessing.”

“Die!!” they all heard a loud shout from the Arena.

“What happened?” she turned her head towards Ryan.

“Saori-san… she is…” Ayami gulped, “Fed up,”

“That is not like you, Saori-san…” Ryan muttered when he saw Saori’s eyes bulging in red color.

Bang!

One hit. One hit was all it took for Saori to push Ryan deep into the ground.

< You are injured heavily. You have multiple injuries, healing activated >

“The power…” Ryan gulped, “It is not Saori-san… it is someone else,” he declared.

“Ryan!!” Gwen shouted.

“Ryan-Kun!” Ayami shouted with her.

Ryan’s body crashed with the ground, his skin tearing up on his way rolling on the ground before stopping at the end of the Arena.

“Wait… his katana!” Gwen exclaimed, “Where is the other half?”

“It is… broken?” Ayami repeated, “Just what happened?” they both were not paying attention to the fight. It was going for more than 30 minutes, they thought nothing would happen for the next ten minutes more but it looks like…. The climax is here.

“No way…” they heard Devon’s shaking voice, “C- can not be… happening!” he shouted in a trembling voice.

“Devon, what is it now?!” Gwen walked up to him.

He was screaming and shrieking in pain, “Breakthrough!” he finally shouted, “A pure vampire’s breakthrough!”
