Chapter 13 - On Hani's Side

Leo instructed a girl to search Hani. Like a clown, she was used as entertainment as they searched her in front of everyone. She patted her down, pressing the clothes against her body. It was embarrassing, she was not even allowed privacy. Still, Hani pushed through, biting her lip to stop herself from trying to smack them. Her temper was short. 

Seriously, what is up with this perverted bastard? Why do I have to deal with these things? I want to wipe that grin off his face so bad! Hani withheld her anger.

After confirming that she was clean and had nothing on her, as well as the weapon not being tampered with, Hani was prepared to attack again.

Seriously, I have to do this again... it makes me so nervous, there are more people looking at me now.

Leo suddenly had a great idea.

I am not gonna make this easy for her. 

"Stop!" You could see the gears in his head moving as he smirked at Hani. "We can't have you use a weapon, you never know what could be done to it. So why don't you use this instead? If your ability is real, anything will work... no?"

With a curl of his lips, he took out a metal ruler from his bag. 

"Are you kidding me?" Hani looked at the ruler. 

Is this man crazy, or is he asking for a beating with this ruler? Maybe that's why he is handing this ruler to me.

With a pissed off look, she snatched the ruler from Leo's hand. For a second, she looked at the ruler and then at the pale, clear, clean cheek on Leo's face. She was practically ogling. Leo, who watched as Hani kept staring at his face, was a bit flustered and uncomfortable.

Why the fuck is she looking at me like that? Shit F-ranker! Leo stepped back a bit and brought his hand to his face to cover up. "Hurry up then!" He ordered her.

"Che!" Hani tutted, ultimately giving up on that idea, and got ready to go through this test again.

"Watch this, you washed out A-rank!" With rage building inside her, she channelled it all into this attack. Maintaining her posture, she closed her eyes, imagining Emma was there as she guided her like she had done a thousand times in the past month. 

Circulating her magic, she found the most efficient path, opened her eyes and slashed. 

Just as before, she let out a perfect magic blade that cut through the first layer with ease. Then the second layer fell. 

This time, as the blade hit the third, it shattered as well. 

"What?!" Leo screamed, seeing this. There were whispers and talks that started. Being able to break the third layer is something only S ranks and a few A ranks are able to do. But a F-ranked student did it. 

Everyone's faces were full of shock, and the most shocked of all was Hani. Her mouth gaping wide open and her eyes bulging, sweat dripping down her forehead as she stared at the training core fall to the floor. Her body unmoving, just her eyes followed the core as it rolled across the floor. 

Oh my god... what did I just do! How did I do that? What is going on... am I really this strong? 

Leo dashed towards Hani and, in a flash, grabs her by the collar "What did you do?" Leo carried a face full of questions and disbelief.

[Class 1-C Lunchtime]

"Haniii~" Emma opened the door, expecting Hani to be waiting for her. Looking inside, unlike the usual days, the classroom seemed empty. There were people rushing toward the direction of the training gym instead of the lunch hall. 

Confused, she scans the room. Hani is not there. Suddenly, a girl shoves past Emma and runs towards Stella's desk. Emma gave evil eyes towards her, ready to let hell break loose.

"Stella! You have to see this quickly. That F-rank girl broke the training core shield in two layers! But Leo says she is cheating, and now there is a big commotion. Come watch!"

Hearing this, Emma forgot the situation and quickly ran towards the gym. Stella, seeing this, also decided to follow, unlike Emma, she was very slow as she ran meters behind Emma.

When Stella reached the door, all she saw was Emma's eyes wide in shock, staring as Leo was grabbing Hani by the collar. What is he doing? Was he this violent?

Unlike Stella, Emma, who had arrived earlier, had witnessed Hani break the three layers of the training core and was frozen from the shock of it all.

Damn... I must be a genius at teaching. It took me 1 year of training to break all three layers, and Hani did it basically in a month. What the hell is this?

---

Leo held on to Hani's collar, she was getting pissed. Using the same motion she used to break the shields, she struck the ruler towards Leo, who, in turn, let go and jumped back, shielding himself. The swing Hani performed was just a normal swing, she had tricked Leo, in turn humiliating him as he sat crouched on the floor, head down, arms in front, using his ability to shield himself.

"Oh dear, are you ok? What are you doing? I was just stretching my arms... oh, by any chance. Did you think... I... was... going to hit you?" Hani slowly stretched her sentence out so everyone could hear every single word.

After nothing happened, he looked up only to see Hani smug and looking down at him with a wide grin. A vein on his forehead throbbed, bulging as he got into a stance to attack Hani. Unable to tame his anger amidst the laughter and Hani, he lunged forward using his ability, Soundpiercer.

Leo Randell - Rank A

Ability - Soundpiercer

Has the ability to control sound. It can be used as an attack and a defence. Using sound and vibrations, it can either be a shape blade or a destructive force, which can deflect any attacks thrown at him as long as he is strong enough.

---

Before the attack could land on Hani, Emma had already dashed forward. She shielded Hani with her abilities by forming a spear, which she then in turn jabbed towards Leo. It strikes his collar very precisely as the blade hits the floor. He is pinned to the floor with the blade, a few centimetres away from his face, just nicking a bit of his ear.

"How dare you! You bitch!" His face was reddened with anger, his eyes were bloodshot, and the bulge was now turning purple. He bears his teeth, touching his ear as he winces in pain, and he brings his hand to his face. I am fucking bleeding?!

Emma Wang - Rank A 

Ability - Weapon Master (upgradable)

A legacy ability. Can produce any weapon they have stored before. Is able to completely understand the advantages and disadvantages of a weapon and is able to utilise them. But the user still needs to learn to use the weapon. Knowledge is just knowledge if they do not have the skill, they will not be able to use this knowledge. Once the required skill is attained, knowledge not only of themselves but also of other weapon users. Just watching them use a weapon, user can see the advantages and disadvantages of their use and the limits. 

This skill is upgradable because it is a legacy. This means that the more knowledge of different weapons the user acquires, the higher their rank will also increase.

"Watch your mouth, you ignorant Randell." Emma looks at him with disgust as she lets go of the spear, still erect as it's stabbed into the ground. Everyone stood there in awe to watch a bubbly personality like Emma, who is far shorter and of a smaller build than Leo, dominating over him. "What were you trying to do right now? Kill a fellow classmate? Do you have no shame?" 

Hani stood there, feet stuck to the ground.

I can't believe that he tried to attack me... what I cannot believe more is that I actually saw his movement. If he had attacked me, I am sure I would have been able to dodge it!

"Emma, it's ok, let him go. If this gets big, the teachers could cancel our tournament," with a worried face, Hani tugged on Emma's jacket. 

"I can't believe you are still worrying about this stupid tournament, Hani! You could have been hurt!" Emma held Hani by the shoulders. 

As Emma had turned around, Hani realised that she was not in good shape. Emma's face was full of worry. Her hands dug into her skin, shaky, with irregular breathing, and she had gone a bit pale. I made a mistake... I need to apologise to Emma. Hani thought to herself. 

Emma was thankful she made it in time. If I were not here, what would happen to her... she could have been in critical condition. Thank god Leo is not a higher rank because if so, I would not have been able to block the full damage. 

Murmurs started from the crowd. The students parted as a person walked through. It was Stella.

"Leo..." She stood poised, arms crossed, and she waved her phone. "I have recorded everything. The Powell family will be cutting all ties with the Randell family from this day on. I cannot believe you would stoop so low like this. It's disgusting."

Neither Leo nor Hani knew that Stella had come and were surprised to see her. 

"It's nothing like that, Stella!" Leo was still lying on the floor, pinned, trying to remove the unmovable spear. "That F-ranker cheated." 

"It still does not give you permission to harm a fellow student. If she is guilty of this, it's the teachers who would resolve the matter. Not you." For the first time in their lives, the students saw Stella adorning a face without a smile but pure disgust. Her eyes were full of pity for Leo and the mess he put himself into. You should not pity him, Stella... he deserved it. She reassured herself. "Do not talk to me ever again." 

She walked towards Hani. "Let's go somewhere away from this place," she told her. 

Hani, who has now become flustered seeing a new side of Stella, was mesmerised by her. "U-uh, let me just do one more thing!" She turned to the desk for sign-up and pushed her face close to the guy in charge. 

"You better put my name as a participant now unless you want me to tell Stella or Emma about this," Hani whispered into his ear with a devilish tone. The guy looked at her face, and the face she was wearing was nothing less than what a devil would be like at that moment. He nods with fear.

Hani then turns around, changing her face back to the shy, flustered Hani with a smile as she walks out of the training gym with Emma and Stella. Everyone watched as the two famous girls from the school, Stella and Emma, walked out in anger. On one side of Hani's arm was Emma, and on the other was Stella. Looking down at the floor, gushing with happiness, Hani tried to hide her smile. 

This image was ingrained into everyone's mind. Hani was protected by two of the strongest people in the school. She is not to be messed with unless they want to face both the Wang family and the Powell family.

For the first time ever, Emma and Stella, without arguing, were on the same side. 

On Hani's side.
