My System & My Academy of Superpowers - Chapter 381

“Stop right there!” The referee jumped on the Arena, he quickly teleported between Saori and Ryan.

Without caring what the vampire would do to him, the old man appeared in front of Ryan. his broad back was all he could see. The referee in front of Ryan was a tall and broad man with the typical old-men’s looks.

Saori let out another scream as he continued bringing her katana down at Ryan. the referee noticed she is not going to stop.

‘Move…’ Ryan could only think, his words were not coming out, ‘She will kill you…’

“Satoru-san,” Hinami looked at Satoru. He had the same indifferent expression.

‘Hm. I might have to step in if she takes out the referee… just what is this girl?’ Satoru stared at Saori with a serious expression.

Hinami shuddered and moved away from Satoru. He was emitting such a powerful and terrifying presence, ‘She managed to take down Ryan…’

“What are you…” Ryan stopped talking.

“Stay down, Ryan.” Professor sounded calm, “Your wound is deep and wide open. Do not move, stay down…” Professor sighed, “Although I knew you would not listen,”

‘I can not just sit here and watch that fucking vampire take out an innocent man, he has nothing to do with the vampire world. I can not let him die because of me…’

Ryan’s blood poured out of his stomach as he once again tried getting up, he was finally on his knees but the pain he was feeling- no, he was already numb to the pain. It was beyond painful.

< HP: 2 >

His health points glowed in red in front of his eyes. Some kind of buzzer went off in his mind that was constantly reminding Ryan that he is low on HP.

“Hey, does that mean the boy lost?” everybody’s attention was caught by a single boy.

“Yeah- yeah… if the referee has stepped in to stop the match then…”

“Surely, he lost the game,”

“Damn. I had hopes up for him.”

On the top seat, an individual was sitting silently with his hands in front of his chest. He had a stoic expression on his face, his ivory eyes were making him look even more stoic.

He had been watching the match since the start since the leveling game started that is. Without even moving his eyes away from the two individuals who were fighting, he watched the whole match till now.

“Idiots.” he muttered while looking at the students who started gossiping about Ryan’s loss, “There is no way he would have beat her in the first place,”

“Ugh… Hiroshi-Kun,” his expression softened when he heard a female’s voice behind him, “Would you mind if I…”

“Sure. Go ahead… Misae-san,”

Gwen clenched her fists tightly, “It can not be true… Ryan lost?” tears started rolling down her eyes, “If he did then…”

“Everything will go south,” Ayami gulped, “Everything. In other words, we are good as dead.”

Not immediately but eventually, the vampires will come for Saori. Does not matter even if she kills herself, they will investigate the incident and who all were invovled.

Devon and Brandon will be spared but the rest of the humans will be killed in the Academy. The reason? Simple as that, killing Ryan’s group would expose them, hence, killing everyone is commonsense.

Devon and Brandon, yes, they will be punished for not informing the council about Saori, the runaway vampire’s, location. They will be interrogated too.

“I told him.” Devon muttered, “At least now he knows what a real vampire’s power is.” Gwen turned to Devon, “Hopefully he will give up, no, he will have to give up on that.”

On the ground below, the referee in front of Ryan was doing something. All Ryan could see was:

The referee pulled his right arm near his waist, turned it into a fist. Saori swung her katana down at the old man.

‘No!’ Ryan fell down on the ground once again. The ground beneath him split open as he started falling further down, ‘No!’ he shouted in his mind.

“F- F- Fuck.” Ryan bit his lip, “Inventory,” a list of items that were in his inventory appeared in front of his eyes, “This.”

Suddenly, a metallic flash appeared in front of Ryan’s eye, in his hand. Ryan quickly opened the flash with his teeth and drank the blood till the flash was empty.

< HP: 15 >

< HP: 25 >

< HP: 50 >

< Consumed premium quality blood. Gained 100 Exp. >

< First time consuming a premium quality blood, bonus 500 Exp >

“Thank you, sir Brandon, and sorry.” Ryan saw his stomach healing, “Maybe now I can.” he pushed himself off the ground, “I can.”

With another push, Ryan got off the ground, he used the rocks and cement blocks to get up and out of the five feet deep hole Saori created with her attack.

“Here, let me help you.” Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of Ryan’s eye. His head tilted in surprise. A head popped in front of him. The old men’s looks.

“Huh?!” His eye went wide in surprise, “H- how?” He was confused.

If Saori had attacked him, if her katana’s slash split the ground again, and if the old man was still standing in front of Ryan when she attacked… he should not be smiling at him right now.

Ryan saw Saori silently sitting on the Arena with her eyes blacked out. She was still conscious but her eyes were dead. The referee walked to the middle of the Arena.

“I will announce the leveling game’s result.” he said in his deep voice, “It was an intense leveling game and the first one that happened since we came to this planet. I want all of you to please look at that screen,”

On a screen behind him, a video started playing. After looking for a few seconds, everyone realized that it was the video of Ryan’s and Saori’s recent leveling game.

“As you can see,” the scene when Ryan was getting heavy on Saori started playing.

Just when Ryan was about to attack her, Saori tensed her thick thighs and rolled backward to fall out of the Arena.

“Her legs clearly touch the ground that is not the part of the Arena. In other words, Ashiro-dono stepped out of the Arena before she came back inside.”

Everyone’s expressions died. They all knew what was coming next. If she stepped out of the Arena at the start of the fight then it does not matter even if she kills her opponent.

“So our winner today… is Ryan Walker-dono,” the thrill was destroyed, everyone who was thrilled was let down. It was a huge letdown for those who thought Saori has won.

“Technically, Ryan-dono is the winner due to Ashiro-dono’s illegal move. She was out of the game even before the real game being,”

He then looked at Ryan, “Although if we look at the game by ignoring the rules… then surely this young man lost the game pretty badly. He is injured heavily, so I could request the healers to please help him, as soon as possible. He is holding on somehow,”

Then he looked at his audience, “But what is a game if it does not have rules. And what is a game if it has rules but they are not followed? So without breaking the rules and following them, Ryan-dono is the winner.”

Doc got up from her seat and walked towards the exit, “As a reward, I would like to reward Ryan-dono with a sum of 1000 Yen, and Ashiro-dono with 3000 Yen. A truly impressive game both of you,”

The students started leaving the Arena one by one. After the climax died with disappointment, they started leaving the Arena. A few teachers left the Arena too.

“Sir Brandon missed the climax,” Atkinson sighed.

“Well, it was pretty disappointing. So I do not think he missed much,”

“You are right in a way, Mr. Zahn,” they both left the Arena.

“Dad, are you coming?”

“No.” Satoru replied in a cold voice, “I am staying,”

“Oh, okay,” Naomi left the Arena, “What is wrong with him…? Is mother being too hard on him these days? But she is not even here,”

“I- I will also take my leave, sir-”

“No.” she shuddered once again by Satoru’s voice, “You stay here with me, Nanami Sensei,”

“E- eh? W- why?”

“To repent for your mistake,” her whole body shuddered when her eyes met with Satoru’s dead eyes.

A few medics ran up to Ryan, “Treat him right here, we do not have time to take him to the infirmary,”

“Right.” the two robots started working on cleaning Ryan’s wound. He was told to lie in the Arena.

From the other side, Gwen and others joined them. She was happy that all the stakes were avoided but… the way he won was pathetic. As if he won because someone took pity on him.

“Ryan-san!!” her boobs bounced, “I am so sorry!” she bowed her head while sitting on her knees, “I am so sorry, I almost killed you! I do not know what happened to me, I do not know!!” she started… yes, crying.

“Stupid, why would you fight me if you were going to apologize later?” Ryan coughed.

“Ryan-san…. Ryan-san~!!” she started crying on Ryan’s thigh.

“Ignore her,” Gwen told Ayami, “Check on Ryan,” Gwen sat down and pulled Ryan’s head on her laps, “Stay with me,”

“Do not worry, I am with you,” Ryan replied with a smile.

“Just wait for the night to come when you are healed, I will make sure you regret this decision, you idiot Ryan!” Gwen shouted as tears soon fell on Ryan’s face.

“You were about to die, Ryan-Kun, who would have I fed on if you died?!” Ayami joined them.

‘That is what concerns you more huh,’ the corner of Ryan’s mouth twitched.

“Do not you dare die!” She started crying, “Do not die on me!”

‘Does not look like it though…’ Ryan sighed in relief.

“Tch,” they all heard someone clicking their tongue, “Do not cry over him like that, you look pathetic, girls,”

“D- doc?”

“Dr. Mary…”

Ayami was taken aback, “This woman!” is the reason why Ryan had to fight with Matsuda sensei.

‘I wish I was there sitting beside you crying my eyes out too though, Ryan.’ she bit her lip, ‘But… I just hope fate rolls and changes my emotions for you… my morales, my mindset, everything.’

Doc thought as she leaned down beside Ryan, “Let me handle him.” she told the robots. She pulled her hand and placed it on Ryan’s… chest.
