Walking under the dimly lit sky, Frederick stumbled upon Rose on the way. His breathing stopped seeing Rose standing at the edge of a stony seat looking up at the sky.

Her pink hairs fluttered due to the gentle winds, and seeing such a scene mesmerised him for a moment.

"Just how long are you gonna stare?"

COUGH...COUGH...

Coughing a bit to hide his embarrassment, Frederick moved towards Rose.

"If you knew then why didn't you react?"

"It's because I knew it was you," Rose said with twitching lips.

"Khumm...I see."

"So, what are you doing here?"

"Just wanted to have some fresh air?" replied Rose and then asked the same question to Frederick.

Frederick wanted to say that he ran away unable to handle Parth's bullshit but that might ruin the atmosphere.

"I also wanted to have fresh air."

Frederick then sat down on the rock carved into a bench.

"Is there anyone else coming here at night?"Frederick asked.

"None as per I know.No one is crazy enough to take too much risk."

Frederick nodded, staring at Rose. Seeing Rose's face from this close, a subtle uneasiness rose in his heart.

"Rose...You..look.."

Rose's eyes enlarged as she tried to discern what Frederick was going to say.

Rose's glossy lips curled upward as a hint of anticipation welled in her heart

Pondering for a moment, Frederick finally hardened his heart to praise her. However, just before he could say something, a piercing roar interrupted him.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The silence of the night got shattered by goring screams of fear and agony.

Frederick and Rose reacted immediately.

Tracing the source of the sounds, they found it coming from the safe zone. Wondering if a fight broke out in the safe zone due to some reason, they hurried inside.

By the time the two reached the front of the safe zone the entire area had been thoroughly dyed with blood. The students resting in the safe zone were by no means weak. Among them, some were even quite meticulous, having many hidden tricks under their sleeve.

But this...

"How did this happen?"

Rose's face became pale.

In the hall of the building, at the only point where the light from the broken lamp flickered, several bodies were lying on the ground wriggling in the pool of their blood. Some were moving, while some seemed to be unconscious or even dead.

All of them had several wounds on their bodies.

Completely dominated by an overwhelming difference in power, the students were thoroughly trampled over.

"Frederick..."

Rose muttered with a terrified expression as she turned her gaze where the many shadows were cast by the moonlight coming from the glass slab on the ceiling.

The target of Rose glare was a group of individuals wearing dark body suits hiding their faces under a mask.

There were only a handful of them, seeing which Frederick wondered if other safe zones were also attacked by them. In the location which was only illuminated by moonlight, their presence was so thin that one might lose sight of them if one let his attention wander for a moment.

"Frederick run...."

Frederick's eyes darted towards the familiar sound. Near the people, Frederick's eyes locked on a boy with oddly twisted arms staring at him in panic.

"Pa...Parth..."

A sense of dreariness crept into his heart.

At that moment something snapped in Frederick's mind. Seeing Parth drenched in blood with two daggers ingrained over his shoulder, he shouted.

"Leave him.."Frederick's voice quivered.

"No, this bastard is an irritating one. I want to end him personally."The black dress woman snorted.

"Quickly take care of him."A man beside her spoke, rubbing his aching forehead.

"Oh beauty, have some pity."

"Do you know the pain that the maidens are going to feel seeing my state? Beauty, don't behave like a fierce kitty."

"Shur up fucker. Do you want to die? I will kill you?"The woman screamed angrily, unable to bear the boy's bullshit.

"Beauty…Beauty, at least fulfills my last wish. Dying under a gorgeous lady like you is a blessing but before that can you show me your face? Why don't you spare me and go on a date with me? I promise to serve you with all my heart so…"

"You..."

With a twisted expression, she raised her sword to end Parth but before that, a bolt of lightning hurled at her throwing her down.

BANG!

"Arghhhh!"

"I said leave himmmmmm."' Frederick screamed violently releasing a strong gust of pressure.

ROOOOAR!

Everyone for a moment had an illusion of hearing the roaring of a godly beast, due to which every hair on their body stood up.

Looking at Frederick in disbelief, they saw lightning flickering out from his body. His hair stood up emitting flashes of lightning and a mighty pressure emerged from him.

"Stop staring…Go and catch him. He is one of the targets."

No one knew who spoke first, but the moment the voice handed, many figures dashed towards Frederick.

Pouncing on him hungrily, two sword users were the first ones to attack Frederick.

Frederick's pupil noticed their movements. Everyone here was under 4-Star so there was no need to worry too much. Since they all are enemies he could go all out as it didn't matter even if he kills them.

Before their swords could connect with his body, Frederick immediately ducked down and spun around as he kicked both at their feet.

The two cursed as they lost their footing. One of them fell whom Frederick kicked away while the other that stumbled before, Frederick grabbed his hand and threw it towards the back where someone was creeping behind.

A shock coursed through their body on being contacted with Frederick, momentarily blinding their vision.

A woman sneaked behind Frederick and slashed at him thinking she was in his blind spot, but she was proved wrong as an arrow pierced into her wrist making her lose her grip.

Taking a sharp tone, Frederick's eyes flashed with chilliness as he stabbed his spear right into the woman's abdomen without mercy.

Frederick then swung his spear to throw her away.

BAAM!

Accompanying a banging sound, the woman drenched in showers of lightning shot back with pieces of flesh exploding in the gut at the point of contact.

Frederick then turned towards Rose and gave her a nod as he knew that she had his back.Coupled with their previous experiences, he was assured about Rose guarding his back properly.

Rose, loading her bow, fired to demolish the enemy formation that was rushing at Frederick.

Frederick's bluish eyes flickering with lightning had an indifferent look seeing the whole bunch coming at him that made others hesitate to rush forward, and those who were beaten by him had burns over their body.

"Go attack him! Stop idling. He is alone."

"Some go after the girls.''The man shouted, snapping them out of their bewilderment.

Four rushed towards Frederick, meanwhile, two people attempted to escape under Frederick's vision to make their way towards Rose which did not go unnoticed under his sharp vision.

Frederick moved, leaving behind after images, dodged the first three strikes, and blocked the fourth one. Their technique was poor and unrefined.

This irked him.

'Even unqualified bastards dared to enter here.'

Frederick moved his spear, focusing his gaze on the nodal points.

BAAM!

Frederick waved his spear, making a loud impact on the ribs of the one. The sheer force broke the bones on the left side of the rib and knocked him onto the ground.

ClANG!CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!

Parrying the attacks of the other two, he dodged the attacks from the other who was aiming for an opening.

Noticing the man thrusting his sword, Frederick punched around and slashed his spear at the other person.

BAAM!

The sheer force diverted the sword aside, and then Frederick retracted his spear, turned it, and then hit the head with a loud bang.

The man crashed into the ground with a broken head dripping with blood.

Frederick spun the spear around himself, then attacked the remaining two relentlessly pushing them back.

CLANG!CLANG!

Frederick disarmed them and was about to attack the two when he heard a loud shriek from behind.

Frederick panicked on hearing the familiar scream that forced him to turn back. His body froze seeing a dark-robed man grabbing Rose's neck and squeezing it slowly.

A playful smile hung on his lips seeing the despair in Rose's eyes as she wriggled, flinging her arms and trying to get out of the man's grip.

"Roseeeeee!"

Gasping coldly, Frederick shot towards the man stomping the ground.

Raising his spear above his shoulder, he whipped his hand throwing the spear containing a mass of condensed energy towards the man.

"Hohhhoooooo!"

"What an agile fish!"

Mocking the foolish boy, he just flicked his half-cut long sword.

BOOOOM!

The air pressure imbued with mana clashed against the spear causing an explosion, as a result of which Frederick's spear bounced off against the ground.

Through the dust which had not even dissipated, a figure emerged shaking the layer of dust, and then punched at him.

BAAANG!

A loud shock wave reverberated all around along with strong gales.

The flickering energy of lightning from Frederick assaulted the man but the layer of mana that enveloped him shielded him from damage.

The man raised his palm to block the attack with his other hand and before Frederick could react, he released Frederick's fist and then in an instant, grabbed his neck.

Staring at his hateful expression, he laughed.

"Kid don't worry. I am not going to kill you."

"I am here to take both of you on a nice trip."

Frederick struggled trying to get free but the man had a strength of 6-Star so how can it be so easy to get out?

Frederick peeked at Rose. His eyes seemed to convey something.

Seeing his expression, Rose's heart beats wildly. She wanted to stop him but the situation had already gone out of hand.

Frederick then clicked his tongue, spat at the man's eye, and then bite the man's hands.

"Ahh!"The man wailed.

Frederick then extending his hand, grabbed the man's shoulder and wrapped his legs around the man's waist trying to pin him down.

Rose also bite the man's hands and kicked the man causing him to stumble back. His grip loosened, and Rose jumped back.

"Rose! I will take care of him so run."

Frederick shouted while activating his hidden move.

[Overhaul Lightning Blast.]

He could compress the lightning energy and make it explode but in doing so he will have to face several repercussions.

His vessels might blow out making him cripple or he may fall into a comatose state for many days still it was better than dying.

Frederick, who was compressing his mana vessels, suddenly heard a sharp crisp voice.

Swish!

Something passed in the thin air right before Frederick's eyes. His hair swirled and fluttered due to the faint breeze.

Then…

At the very next moment, under Frederick's bewildered gaze, the hand grabbing his neck fell on the ground and blood spurted over his face, shocking him while the man whose arm from the knee joint had been cut blinked his eyes in shock and bewilderment.
