Chapter 29: Class assignment examinations. (4)
Unpleasant.
Ken felt everything and everybody was unpleasant.
First, it was that dragonic ass.
Then it was his enlightenment.
Now, it was an annoying young woman.
'I left him of the hook, should I just kill this bitch to vent my irritation?' Ken wondered with an extremely calm look on his face, as if he wasn't thinking of killing a young woman in cold blood.
He currently didn't have any appropriate techniques he could use immediately since he had woken up from his unconsciousness just this morning after sacrificing everything except for his stats.
Everything has been an unpleasant experience for him since he woke up.
"I am already annoyed as it is," Ken muttered in a low, but loud enough voice as a haze of killing intent assimilated into his voice.
"Scram!" Ken yelled at Elfrida, whom he felt to be closing in.
Her entire body took a screenshot, ahem, froze for a moment hearing Ken's killing intent marred voice, she immediately wanted to retreat, run away in other words.
'Elfrida, those who run away from danger would never be able to grow.' A sweet voice in her mind, reminded her.
Suppressing her fear and fanning her aristocratic ego, which helped her stand straight and hide her emotions, Elfrida scoffed loudly. "Hah! What did I expect from a servant of a Noble family!? You can merely threaten with empty words, you don't dare show your face against a noble, do you?" She mocked him, soothing her fear.
First feeling Ken felt was confusion, later anger, but when heard her heart thumping against her chest in fear, considering the situation, "Pfft!" Ken couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing Ken's laughter, Elfrida's face flushed red in embarrassment as she felt he was mocking her. While she was speechless to retort against Ken, he got a hang of his new set of abilities.
"Listen here woman, since you made me have a good laugh, I let you leave for now. Leave, if you are alive till the end, we'll fight anyway." Ken said as he walked out for the tree he took cover behind and said while facing in the direction he felt mana surge.
"We'll see if you can survive first!" Elfrida scoffed and walked away like an aristocrat, who backed off after realising the person they were messing with wasn't someone they could mess with.
"Heh, I guess she learnt a thing or two on how to be an aristocrat from her parents….." Ken muttered as he sat under a tree and began to control his mind and body, ignoring everything that was happening around him.

The votes casted for him lowered as the audience booed at him. Next moment, he was nowhere to be seen on the leader board, and on top of the list was the golden blonde haired young man, whose actions seemed quite eccentric.
Suddenly,
"What do think would have happened between the two before they met in the middle of the test?" A commentator asked the other commentator, who stiffened in wonder.
"I think I heard something about "cheating."" The commentator no.2 muttered under his breath in the mic, causing the entire audience to get silenced moments before they broke out in an uproar.
"WHOOOOAH!!"
"Hahahaha, so that's why they didn't fight against each other!?"
"I see, I see, they were lovers before!"
"Did they break up?"
"Such beautiful couple, why did they have to break up?"
"Maybe he was cheating on her with another woman?"
"Ohhhh!!"
"What's wrong with that!? A man that handsome ought to have more than one lover!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? A man should be loyal to his woman!!"
"Well, if he wanted to, I would agree to be his lover."
"I agree."
"I would have too."
"But, isn't he blind?"
"One small flaw doesn't matter!"
"And if he is blind, doesn't that mean he doesn't see beauty in a woman?"
"He must have felt sincere character from the other woman."
"Maybe it wasn't him that cheated, instead it must be the woman who didn't treat him right!"
"Get lost you ugly monkey, from today onwards I love Marken!"
"Kyaaaa!!! Marken, I love you!!"
"... that took a weirdly wild turn…." A commentator no.1 muttered, hearing the uproar his and his partner's words had unknowingly caused. The latter had already started to break out in cold sweat, as he knew what the background of the woman they were talking about was.
"Why do think he stopped?" Commentator no.2 asked, trying to change the topic.
"Of course, because he couldn't bear to hurt the woman he once loved!!?" Instead of the commentator, the answer came in a roar from the audience, mostly women.
What the commentator actually wanted to know was why Marken had stopped and rested beneath a tree's shade, while the other trainees were running around hunting small beasts and other trainees to gather points, which would determine on which class they would be placed.
'I want to cry!!' Commentator no.2 exclaimed in his mind and decided to ignore both Marken and Elfrida.
'Who knows what they'll say if I talk about either!!'
"Oh!! Look! Trainee Edwin is moving towards a [C+] ranked beast! That's the strongest beast in today's test!!" Commentator no.1 exclaimed in excitement.
'Good job, you clueless bastard!!!' Commentator no.2 gave a thumbs up to his partner inwardly.
Edwin De Youngee, a young man who was said to be a prodigy, arrogant, and petty, since he was prodigy people around him accepted his arrogant and blunt nature, unknowingly elating his ego, which had soared to astronomical levels, and finally he had come to believe himself to be the [Centre Of The World] and had one day, on his 15th birthday he had announced that outright on other aristocrat young monsters and ladies, that somehow led to him awakening his [Light] attributed abilities.
ROOOOOOAAAAR!!!
The [C+] ranked bear-type beast's roar resounded throughout the artificially created space and the coliseum, exciting the crowd, Guilds, Nobles, and Royalty, who had secretly arrived when the dome was created.
"How dare you crude beast stand in my way." Edwin exclaimed and brushed back his hair as sparkles suddenly spurted around him, creating a toes and mouths curling scene.
Somehow the crowd was able to see the beast getting enraged moments before it rushed towards him and slammed its heavy and massive paw at Edwin's head. The crowd could see a blood spurt out of his nostrils just before his body was slammed at the ground and dust covered the scene wholly, silencing the crowd.
And making the pair of commentators dumbfounded and speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Umm….. strike?" Commentator no.1 muttered in the mic with a confused look on his face.
'... Arrrrrrrgggggh!!! Just shut up if you don't know what to say, you clueless bastaaaaaaarrrrd!!!!!!' Commentator no.2 cursed inwardly as he turned pale.
