When Rio was on his stealing spree. The main protagonist is also not silent, he has already entered the ring.
'Today I will beat you all just like you did to me.' (Fade)
After the mid-terms were over Fade entered E rank dungeons to get points and upgraded his status. Now he has already become Rank F+. If someone found out about his growth they would die from envy. Not to mention he bought a few skills from the shop he can even appraise his opponent's status.
When he used appraisal on these bullies, he found that they were just at E rank. Although it is still higher than him he is the son of luck he can easily cross the rank boundaries and defeat people even stronger than him.
The spectator's area was already full. Several first-year students have gathered here to witness this match. They were all whispering among each other and showing disgust towards fade as if they already knew Fade will lose.
"Hey see that trash really dare to come here"
"heh, he will definitely get disabled today."
"He doesn't understand that he doesn't stand a chance against them."
"He will get beaten blue and black; I am looking forward to it."
Fade glanced at these students and sneered in his mind:
'Humph, I will show you all my greatness, you dumb heads' (Fade)
After about half an hour of waiting, one of the five bullies entered the ring.
"Trash, if you admit defeat now maybe I will let you go"
Fade just ignored him and brought out his wand to cast spells. Seeing his nonchalant behavior, the boy got enraged and started spouting vicious curses on Fade.
After a while, the referee announced the start of the match.
The bully instantly ran towards Fade with his dagger and launched a vicious attack on his face. Seeing this some students gasped in shock:
"Looks like that trash is finished today"
"Such a strong attach, even I won't be able to stop it"
"As I said before, this trash will die today"
"At the very least, our academy will be free of trash today"
But a sudden change happened, before the dagger can pierce Fade a Huge blue fireball reached the bully's face, the burning pain cause him to lose his standing. He started crying while rubbing his face.
It was truly shocking how the situation got reversed instantly. Everyone was extremely shocked. This is the power of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
The bully fainted due to pain and got carried away to the healer's office.
This caused the other four bullies to be enraged and they launched their attack together without warning.
"Although he defeated one of them, this time he will definitely be injured."
"yeah, even the students in E+ rank will not be able to leave unscathed when facing four of the same rank."
"I think he will get fatal wounds this time, as expected of a trash."
Fade sneered seeing all four attacking together and he calmly chanted four fireballs and launched them on the bullies. The bullies tried to avoid the fireball but shockingly the fireball changed its trajectory in mid-air and followed them until they did not get hit by it.
All four of them were also carried to the healer's office. Every student was too shocked after witnessing this dangerous fireball.
"wha-what was that attack!"
"I don't know! I have never heard of a fireball that can change its trajectory in mid-air!"
"That attack was ridiculous; how could that trash use such an attack!"
"Did you notice the color of his fireball was blue!"
"Only when you master a fire spell to its peak can it have a blue color to it, could it be that trash mastered the fireball spell!"
"How can it be! Mastering a spell is not child's play, it takes huge effort!"
A huge commotion erupted among the students who witnessed this. Everyone was discussing the attack Fade used. Seeing this Fade smiled in satisfaction.
'See I told you, this young master is too good!'
Above the arena, in a luxury room, a young girl with red hair and dark red eyes can be seen staring at the figure standing in the arena. A shocked expression is on her beautiful face.
'How did he master fireball to such a high degree, even I haven't mastered it yet. I have been training under my father since childhood yet I was not able to do it. How did he do it?'
"I am getting interested" (Kira Bloodlight)
"In that young man, my lady?" (Kira's maid)
"No! what are you talking about! I am interested in that spell not him!" (Kira)
But unknown to her, a slight blush appeared on her face.
This is the start of the romance story of Fade and the journey of Fade to become a full-proof harem king.
After the match ended Fade left the ring and headed to his dorm. But was invited by suddenly invited by Kira's maid for tea. He was instantly excited and agreed.
'Looks like I have gotten a good fortune again this time.'
Then they discussed about the spells and Fade answered Kira's questions on how he got so much mastery in fireball. Obviously, most of it was a fake story, created by Fade to impress a young maiden but who cares. If you are getting a beautiful girl to hear your boasting, it will naturally not be cared how much you boasted.
Only Rio Knew the real story that fade just increased his proficiency through the system using Exp points not by efforts. This is the difference in a protagonist and an extra.
