Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Boy Who Kills 2
Apollo\'s voice pierces through the tense atmosphere, his tune makes it sound like he and the professor are good friends.
"Why is a student like you doing here"
"That\'s a very harsh words I came here since I was supposed to be in your class"
"You?... I don\'t think so, you chose to be in the lower class it wasn\'t my fault you are in such a situation right now"
The professor said trying to hide his motives with their conversation.
"Right if I wanted to be in your class I should have approached you the class professor of High class, Gideon Alaster"
Then a magic circle envelops the office putting the two under its command.
"An anti-magic circle"
Gideon gasped as he realized the magic circle underneath them.
"I picked up a useful artifact on my way here, so I thought about using it"
"Forget about my staff I can handle you even without it!"
He lunged forward brandishing his sword however Apollo also prepared like him.
Normally if you are dealing with an armed opponent and you are not, it\'s best to keep your distance and pay close attention towards your opponent\'s attacks. However, in Apollo\'s case, he can calculate Gideon\'s movements. Using Jeremiah\'s upgraded sensor even a tiny muscle contraction could be analyzed and calculated. This way he could predict his opponent\'s upcoming attacks.
[Creator the sword is aiming for your neck]
"Yeah I can see it"
Apollo moves side step away from his opponent\'s lunge then he puts more ki in his fist.
With ki boosting his stats his movements become even more fast which took his opponent by surprise.
However, the professor is still a good fighter and he immediately composes himself before sending his blade towards Apollo.
[Your head Creator]
Apollo just nodded and with his ki-enforced arm, he redirected the strike away. Then with a swift transfer of weight, he used his other hand to counterattack.
He first gathers his ki at the tip of his finger before compressing it into a tiny dot.
"Energy bomb"
The tiny dot flew fast in front of Gideon before exploding.
"Argh!"
Apollo wasn\'t done yet as he put his hellish training with Adolfo into use.
The sound of something grinding can be heard, Gideon opens his eyes and sees how Apollo skilfully uses his ki into a sword.
"Vibrating sword"
The compressed ki started to vibrate according to Apollo\'s will.
"Tsk! You think you are the only one who can do that"
Gideon waves his sword making his ki coat on it and just like what Apollo did he also tried vibrating his ki however it proves harder than he thought.
"What!?"
"Now that was embarrassing"
Although he already anticipated that move he was still disappointed that a professor couldn\'t do what he did.
"Professor Adolfo treated this technique like a giveaway candy yet it seems like it is not exactly easy to do"
As he thought of this his hand already moved towards his opponent\'s legs.
[He is going to block it]
In Apollo\'s eyes, arrows would appear indicating his opponent\'s next move.
Knowing Gideon is going for a block Apollo changes his sword\'s direction aiming for his torso.
"Argh!"
He successfully made the attack but he wasn\'t done yet using his momentum he made a quick transition, pivoted and redirected the strike further, he aimed towards the back of his opponent.
Gideon could only feel his back and torso being wounded and he couldn\'t defend himself from the fast transition of attacks.
At the same time, the magic circle beneath them grew dim.
"This is my chance!" Gideon thought wanting to use magic the moment the anti-magic circle disappeared.
"Apologies but I won\'t let you do anything unnecessary"
Before he could even make his move Apollo spoke as if knowing his intention. Then a terrible scent suffocated him drawing his consciousness into oblivion.
"Mission accomplished now time to bring this guy to a safe place"
He said but then he realized something.
"Right this place looks ragged even though we only made a quick exchange"
The boy notices as he looks across the half-destroyed office.
"Rewind"
His voice became an authority that can\'t be disobeyed and immediately the office became how it was before Apollo arrived.
"Jeremiah put this guy inside the inventory"
[Affirmative]
With Jeremiah\'s current upgrade, he could now store even living beings, because of that Apollo would store people he wanted to interrogate without worrying about being caught.
[Creator]
"Yes?"
[There is something in his table]
Moving closer Apollo found his communicator. A little blue orb that can fit perfectly in his palms.
"I told you to disable the communicator\'s signal right?"
[I did Creator and no need to worry I did my job perfectly]
"Then what do you want to do?"
[If I can utilize some of Creator\'s skills I think I\'ll be able to trace the person Professor Gideon was talking to]
"Interesting let\'s test it later"
Then he looked around thinking that he might find another thing inside the place.
"Wait what\'s this"
Then he saw a file of students, and as soon as he did Apollo couldn\'t help but realized something.
"This bastard is recruiting students for the monastery!"
He clenches the file seeing more than half of the targeted students have already been marked.
"I\'m gonna break that guy so badly he would wish he was dead"
Then Apollo released his bloodlust making the newly fixed office destroy again.
"I\'ll let the other professors discover this"
He said before turning into air again.
A few seconds upon his departure dozens of professors dash towards the office.
"Professor Gideon what is happening!"
However, as soon as they arrived all they could see was a destroyed office.
"What\'s this?"
Scattered on the ground were documents and even evidence of Gideon\'s corrupt teaching.
"That bastard find him!"
The people who initially came to help became the people who began to hunt him but unfortunately, Apollo had the man they were looking for captured.
