My System & My Academy of Superpowers - Chapter 380

“Ryan, your katana,” He heard the professor’s warning in his head, “It might snap anytime if you go that hard on it,”

“But. I do not have time to go slow,”

< The berserk effect will wear off in 0:59 >

Ryan lifted his katana and attacked Saori. She dodged it. She felt a strong impact against her shield. If it was not for her shield, her arm must have been torn by now.

The ground beneath Ryan and Saori cracked as soon as Ryan’s katana landed on the ground, “Tch. I am having trouble controlling this.” Ryan clicked his tongue while lifting his katana once again.

Saori kept dodging Ryan’s attacks till they got too fast for her. Every attack Ryan unleashed on Saori was resulting in the splitting of the Arena ground beneath them. Satoru was worried about the money he would have to spend on repairing the Arena. Thankfully, their attacks were not strong enough to cut the audience.

< Time over. The berserk effect has worn off. >

“Fuck!” Ryan grunted as his katana landed on the ground again. ‘Huh? I can not lift the–’ Ryan was not able to lift his katana back in the air after the time out.

“Now.” Naomi noticed the opening, she charged at Ryan with her vampiric strength and agility. It did not take her more than two seconds to close the distance between her and Ryan. That makes thirty feet in 2 seconds.

“What is he doing?”

“Yeah, why is he not moving? She is clearly in front of him,”

Dump!

Saori landed in front of Ryan, lifted her leg. She used her left leg’s toes to balance her body as she kicked Ryan in the chin.

“Shit!” Saliva came out of his mouth and sprinkled in the air like a shower. Saori quickly landed down.

Slash.

For the finishing blow, Saori attacked Ryan’s shoulder. Blood poured down his arm as he looked at Saori who was standing a few centimeters in front of him.

Ryan quickly tensed his calves and jumped a few meters away from Saori. Although he knew it would not be enough to protect himself from Saori.

Blood spread all over the Arena as Ryan ran from one side to the other of the Arena.

The fight was on, Gwen and Ayami were not watching the fight right now but the sounds of Ryan and Saori clashing with each other were audible to everyone in the Arena, even to the people out of the Arean [If there were any].

“Do not die, Ryan…” Devon was still not good with the fact that Ryan was fighting Saori, “Hopefully, this experience will make you understand the power of the vampires.” Devon lifted his eye and glanced.

“Only if….” Saori took a deep breath, “…I could do the same,” Saori gripped her katana tightly, in the middle of the fight, Ryan saw her eyes closing down.

“I have a bad feeling about this…” Ryan stopped charing in her direction, he instead took a step back.

“What are you doing?”

“He is stupid enough to miss such a chance!” The students continued gossiping about him.

But little did they know… Ryan’s hunch was true. A drop of sweat fell down Ryan’s neck, “Saori-san–”

Bang!

The ground beneath Saori’s teeth cracked into multiple pieces, she lifted herself off the ground with a loud scream, “Waaa!!!” her shout rang through the Arena.

“What is that?” that sound finally caught Gwen’s and Ayami’s attention.

“Die!” Ryan’s eye was stuck on the pair of dark red eyes staring at him with full murderous intent.

“That is not like you, Saori-san…” Ryan raised his right hand with his katana in his only active hand, “Life Blood–” before Ryan could do what he was trying to do, Saori’s katana clashed with his katana.

“Fuck!” Devon grabbed his head and grunted in pain, “Another breakthrough?! Are you fucking me?!” he started moving in pain, “Shit. shit,”

“D- Devon! Calm down!” Gwen turned him and shouted, “Shit, I will take you out of here, help me, Ayami-san,” she turned to Ayami, her eyes were fixed on Ryan.

“Ryan-Kun…” She clenched her fists.

One hit. Only one hit was all it took for Saori to drop Ryan on the ground and destroy his composure.

“Hey! Looks at his katana!” the people started shouting.

“How will he continue like this?”

Satoru was also staring at Ryan, “Your katana snapped into two? You should not fight with a basic tier weapon against someone as strong as this girl…” Satoru was still unaware of the fact that Saori was a pure vampire.

The powerful cut that Saori used against Ryan, not only did it broke Ryan’s weapon, it pushed Ryan deep to the ground, and it got Ryan’s cheek.

< HP: 30 >

‘I am reaching the bottom… at this rate-‘ Ryan glanced at his broken katana, ‘What?! How?’

“I told you,” Professor’s cold voice entered his ear, “You only focus on fighting, you ignore the other main elements that affect the result of your fight.”

“What are you saying?!” Ryan shouted out loud. Thanks to the dust and all the commotion in the stands, no one was able to hear Ryan’s words.

Saori was currently going through a breakthrough that enabled her to ear, smell clearly. All she could do was rely on her vampire senses to sense Ryan in the cloud of dust.

“Aaah!!” Ryan got alert.

“Here she comes,” he lifted his katana, pulled his shoulder together, “Ugh!” Ryan blocked Saori’s attack. She was pushing Ryan further deep down into the ground.

Ryan was pushed back to his knees, ‘I can not get up. She will end me.’ He lifted his head, ‘One hand…’ he grunted.

Ryan opened his mouth, slowly struggling through the pain and pressure, Ryan grabbed his katana’s hilt with his teeth, ‘Is not enough.’ he completed.

“In this case, you ignored the durability of your intermediate katana.” Professor continued, “Attacking your opponent without thinking, is nothing but… going berserk.”

Ryan did not reply, he continued pushing his katana with his teeth and his right hand. His left hand, after being cut by Saori, was totally out of order.

Although the system was healing him, it was taking longer than usual. This was a deep cut, Ryan had lost most of his blood by now. Saori on the other hand was not planning on backing down.

“I should have used this way before…” Ryan muttered, “But… it takes a lot of blood,” His new skill [Life Blood Aura Lv.25] is a skill that allows Ryan to cover his whole body in the blood aura instead of just his arms.

This skill is yet not as strong as Saori’s mega shield. Ryan obtained this skill only a few days back, it is a big thing that he managed to complete the tasks and unlock the skill.

Saori pulled her katana back, she aimed for Ryan’s obliques. Ryan was not quick enough to reach there and block her attack.

‘She is cutting through… yes, she is definitely breaking through my lifeblood aura.’ Ryan realized, her katana was slowly making its way to Ryan’s obliques.

Ryan slowly got off the ground, ‘This does protect me from the attack’s impact but… it is still weak.’ he raised his katana, the red hue was acting as the broken part of his katana very well.

Saori pulled her katana away once again, with a slight jump, she gave her katana a full swing in Ryan’s direction.

Ryan held his katana in the reverse grip and protected his body from getting cut into half, ‘This skill is useless at this stage. I need to evolve it as soon as possible.’

“Argghghghg!!” Saori let out a strange angry groan. Ryan’s feet let the ground.

‘What is happening?’ he looked down, his feet were nowhere to be on the ground. He was a few centimeters off the ground, ‘Shit!’

Her strong attack prevented Ryan from doing anything anymore. “Aah!” her shout echoed through the Arena. Her katana went past her, Ryan went with the katana till his body was shot away from the katana.

“Ryan!” Gwen shouted, “What the hell is that power?!” Gwen complained, “He is literally blown off by her swing!”

“Imagine if he was not protecting his side…” Ayami gulped, “HIs body would have split into two.”

“Do not say that!” Gwen protested, “Please, Ryan!” she then looked at the flying Ryan.

Sling!

His web made a connection with the Arena’s floor. He was coming down at an insane speed. Saori noticed him coming down, she prepared for another baseball swing.

Ryan let go of that spot and aimed for another spot, within a second, she appeared there. Ryan kept changing his spots till he was only a meter away from the Arena.

Saori kept cutting every web Ryan planted, and now she was in front of him once again- to smash his head into a number of pieces.

‘I guess… I have no choice then.’ He raised his katana, let go of his web. Like a comment falling from the sky, Saori was standing below to take the comment head-on.

Their katanas clashed with each other. With a few seconds of each other opposing each others’ force, Ryan felt his katana moving forward.

‘It is always easy to push than to pull. I have the momentum of the gravity.’ Ryan applied even more force.

Slick.

They both went forward. Ryan crashed to the ground while Saori lost her balance and almost fell forward.

She turned around. Ryan was getting off the ground when suddenly… he felt his stomach burning. He touched his stomach- he felt liquid coming out from it.

< HP: 20 >

< HP: 15 >

The HP was running out like crazy.

“Stop! Game over! Stop right there, Ashiro-dono!” the Referee stepped in.

Saori ignored his shout, she lifted her katana and raced towards Ryan.

Ryan held his torn apart abdomen in his hands. Blood gushing out from his stomach like crazy, he was on the verge of losing his consciousness.
