I Became A Thief Who Steals Overpowered Skills

Chapter 132

Chemical Doping Kamikaze

The second-year student of Rahelrn Academy.
He was the cousin of Mary Diana who attempted to assassinate the Imperial Princess, and a branch member of the Diana family. He stood on the arena.

In front of him was the son of a local Imperial noble family.

Unlike Glen, he held a sword with a rather thick blade, and gave Glen an unpleasant smile.

“The status of the Diana family has really fallen. For an Imperial noble to side with Starlon.”

Hearing those scornful words, Glen twirled his spear and gripped it.

That stance showed how long he had been wielding a spear, as it was very familiar.

“I’m not siding with Starlon. I just don’t like seeing a fellow second-year student being treated unfairly, according to my chivalry.”

“To hell with chivalry. What chivalry is there in a family that produced a crazy woman who tried to assassinate the Imperial Princess?”

Glen’s eyebrows twitched as he pointed his spear at the other.

“What my sister did deserves execution with no excuses.”

He knows well that the Mary he respected so much is no longer here.

Mary who attempted to assassinate the Imperial Princess can never escape the stigma of being a criminal for life.

“However, that doesn’t mean I have no reason to uphold my chivalry.”

Glen’s dark eyes gleamed fiercely.

That aura was so intense that even the Imperial faction member faltered.

Although they had also grown harshly through a year of training.

But talent exists in this world.

The average level of those from local powers is only middling at the Academy.

Clearly, even after just one year, all the special class students would overwhelmingly surpass them.

So the Imperial faction member gripped his sword tightly.

Today is the last chance to break their arrogance.

“Let’s see the chivalry of a fallen central noble.”

“Begin!”

With the referee student’s start signal, the Imperial faction member immediately raised his sword.

What he chose was, of course, defense.

He’s the one who took down Balak earlier.

So this time too, he intended to choose defense to drain stamina for the next person.

But for some reason, no impact came to his sword.

When the Imperial faction member showed confusion.

Glen was standing still in the same spot as before, holding his spear without taking a single step.

Doubt filled the Imperial faction member’s eyes.

What is he doing standing there without attacking?

“Tch, playing tricks.”

At that moment, Pandora’s voice clicking his tongue was heard from behind.

It didn’t take long to realize what that meant.

The other side had also decided not to attack, just like this side.

“Hey, didn’t you just mention chivalry! How can someone like that act so cowardly?!”

“I don’t know why you’re calling it cowardly, but there’s nothing more foolish than limiting your methods in battle. Don’t apply chivalry to such stupid things.”

Glen looked at the Imperial faction member as if he was pathetic.

“And to immediately start swearing when the situation turns unfavorable. If you want to be a central noble, why don’t you start by fixing that vulgar way of speaking?”

The next words properly struck a nerve with the Imperial faction member.

His face turned bright red as if he was burning up.

[Doesn’t that apply to you too?]

And for some reason, Kraush also felt it applied to him, so he scratched the back of his head.

Why is that guy suddenly attacking his own team?

[More importantly, that child is trying to do the same thing as you.]

Hearing those words, Kraush looked at Glen.

As Crimson Garden said, Glen was doing exactly the same thing as Kraush.

That was none other than condensing aura onto his spear.

A faint layer of aura was forming on the surface of the spear, gradually coating it with aura.

Similar to the Sword Demon’s ki-gathering technique.

The Imperial faction member didn’t seem to notice yet, but it was clearly visible to Kraush who often used such techniques.

[He’s probably copying what he saw at the entrance ceremony. That guy is quite talented too.]

Well, he is from the Diana family, renowned for spear techniques, after all.

The power may be unknown, but it’s not a bad choice.

While the other side is dawdling, even if they defend, a single strike that can break through will be created.

“Leed, this isn’t the time for that.”

At that moment, Pandora warned the Imperial faction member.

It’s an unwritten rule not to talk to outsiders during a duel.

But it seems Pandora, who absolutely must win this match, doesn’t care about that.

The Imperial faction member named Leed looked at Glen after hearing Pandora’s words.

Golden lightning began to flow from Glen’s spear.

It was the same color aura as that Mary woman.

“Ugh!”

Leed hurriedly changed his grip on the sword.

Then he kicked off the ground.

‘He chose poorly.’

Kraush sensed it was over as he watched Leed abandon defense and charge forward.

He gave up the defense he had chosen to narrow the gap with his opponent.

The result was as clear as day.

Crack-crack-crack!

With a burst of golden light, Glen’s spear rushed towards the charging Leed.

Leed was swinging his sword, trying to strike before Glen could gather more power, but Glen’s spear was faster.

Like Mary, the spear moved with incredible speed despite not having Excel.

It knocked away Leed’s sword and touched Leed’s body at the same time, causing lightning to explode and send Leed flying out of the arena.

Thud!

Leed tumbled on the ground and his sword stabbed into the floor.

The match was decided in an instant.

Pandora could be felt glaring.

Glen twirled his spear and let out a light breath.

But Kraush sensed there were aftereffects on Glen as well.

‘He overdid it.’

It’s a technique that’s quite difficult to copy just by seeing it with your eyes.

Even Kraush could use it because he had obtained the Sword Demon’s arm.

Naturally, the aftereffects of that overexertion were clearly visible on Glen’s body.

Especially his arm, which was faintly trembling, showed he had pushed himself too hard.

It was clear he wouldn’t be able to do much in the next battle, no matter what.

“Haring, get ready.”

“Okay.”

Still, he’s steadily reducing their numbers, so it’s fine.

Kraush glanced towards Arsoldar.

Just need to leave that guy for last.

＊ ＊ ＊

In the next match, Glen unexpectedly performed better than expected.

Like the Imperial faction member had done at first, he also only defended and whittled down the opponent’s stamina.

As a result, the Imperial faction member who was pushing hard before Glen could recover more ended up having his stamina significantly depleted.

When he was exhausted, Glen’s final squeezed out counter hit perfectly, resulting in the Imperial faction member collapsing.

Of course, with that, Glen also became unable to fight any more matches.

“That’s two.”

Glen said proudly to Balak as he was helped down by the referee.

“Ugh, I showed them all what their strategy was. I didn’t lose!”

As Balak shouted resentfully, Glen grinned and glanced towards Kraush.

Glen, who had gathered power similarly to Kraush earlier, experienced firsthand how difficult that secret technique was.

He realized how much effort Kraush, who had casually unleashed it at the entrance ceremony, must have put in.

‘It’s not that sister was weak, but that he himself is strong.’

Those words may have been more certain than expected.

“Good job.”

At that moment, Kraush casually said to Glen as he came down.

For some reason, those words made Glen feel proud that his chivalry was not in vain.

“Yeah.”

With Glen’s response, Haring was about to go up to the arena.

Kraush lightly grabbed Haring’s shoulder.

“It’s not your turn yet.”

“Huh? But you just told me to get ready.”

“Not that.”

Kraush subtly pointed at Haring’s poison pouch.

“We have that, don’t we?”

Haring blinked.

“You guys come over here.”

Regardless, Kraush called the second-year students over.

The Imperial faction currently has 3 retirements.

Kraush’s team of second-years has 2 retirements.

Just looking at the numbers, Kraush’s side has an advantage, but the skills of the remaining second-years besides Haring and Kraush are far inferior.

Firm determination filled the eyes of the gathered second-years.

They looked ready to do something after seeing Balak and Glen’s hard-fought battles.

This is why he sent Balak and Glen out first.

If these guys had gone first, they would have been intimidated from the start.

Kraush opened the poison pouch he received from Haring.

Then after examining the contents, he handed them out one by one.

“Don’t you want to win?”

When Kraush asked, all the second-years nodded vigorously at the same time.

Everyone here is a student from Starlon.

The Empire and Starlon have had many conflicts since ancient times, and the noble children of Starlon are well aware of this fact.

So an indomitable spirit of having to defeat the Empire no matter what was instilled in their bodies.

Moreover, they are now in front of Kraush.

The direct descendant of Balheim, who could be called the power behind Starlon.

The Starlon second-years would give their all, if only to make a good impression on him.

“Then put one of those in your mouth, and eat it right before you fight.”

“K-Kraush sir, what is this?”

One of them cautiously asked.

They must have heard stories about the Lagrain family.

So naturally they were wary of something that came from Haring’s pouch, a direct descendant of the Lagrain family.

“Poison pellets.”

And Kraush gave them certainty for their wariness.

When the one who asked clamped his mouth shut, Kraush put his arms around their shoulders.

“Don’t worry. You won’t die. Your body will just suffer a bit. It’s no big deal. But I guarantee you. With just one of these, even you guys will be able to take down an Imperial faction first-year.”

Kraush said that while slowly smiling.

“When it comes to perseverance, Starlon is unmatched. There’s no one in Starlon who speaks of weakness, right?”

The faces of the Starlon second-years turned deathly pale.

Kraush tilted his head when no answer came.

“Why is everyone quiet?”

“Of course!”

“We’ll win!”

“Long live Starlon!”

Kraush nodded with a satisfied expression.

[You devil.]

Crimson Garden seemed to say something, but Kraush didn’t pay attention.

He just watched the second-years who faithfully followed his words from behind.

And so, one of the second-years went up to the arena with a poison pellet in his mouth.

Just then, the Imperial faction member who was coming up sneered when he saw the second-year.

“Ha, just a green kid.”

The tension he had felt thinking he would face Haring instantly melted away.

The Starlon second-year who was being completely looked down upon made an angry expression.

He has his pride too.

He didn’t enter Rahelrn Academy to be disrespected like this.

So he made up his mind.

Crunch!

He bit down on the poison pellet in his mouth.

Immediately, his aura gushed forth and his muscles visibly swelled compared to before.

“Huk!”

Overflowing power flowed from his drawn breath.

As if he had just awakened anew, his vision cleared up.

Suddenly, confidence began to surge uncontrollably.

With this.

I can win!

“Huh?”

The Imperial faction member also seemed to sense something was off as he looked back at the second-year.

“Begin!”

At that moment, the referee student signaled the start of the match.

Boom!

With a stomp of his foot, the second-year leapt forward with tremendous momentum and charged at the Imperial faction member.

The surprised Imperial faction member hurriedly raised his sword to respond, but he was pushed back as their swords clashed.

He felt strength beyond his imagination.

“Uwaaaaaaaah!”

The second-year went berserk with a roar and crazed eyes.

The Imperial faction member was flustered by the second-year’s mad onslaught as the battle continued.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

In between, the Imperial faction member clearly landed hits that should have been fatal blows on the second-year.

It was the result of his inexperience in handling the increased physical abilities.

However, the second-year didn’t even seem to feel the pain as he toughly endured those attacks and landed his own hits.

As a result, the two engaged in a fierce battle where they essentially gave up on defense.

“You can win!”

“Beria, hang in there!”

In the midst of the intense assault, the other Starlon second-years cheered desperately.

They had all gotten emotionally invested in the scene.

Not knowing they would soon end up the same, as they cheered desperately at that moment.

“Kuhak!”

Finally, the Imperial faction member tumbled to the ground, and the second-year also tumbled down with him.

Neither of them tried to move as they lay collapsed.

It ended in a draw.

“Woooooah!”

The Starlon second-years cheered as if it was their own victory at the second-year’s incredible comeback.

Meanwhile, the second-year was foaming at the mouth and trembling uncontrollably from the effects of the poison pellet.

Seeing that sight, Pandora opened his mouth with eyes bulging behind his glasses.

Kraush smiled maliciously as he met eyes with that guy.

“There are still 5 more left.”

Welcome, this is your first time with chemical doping kamikaze, right?
