Armageddon: Defying Fate

Jiang Zhi's predicament

One strike kill.

And it was at the neck, one of the most vulnerable places in the body, the huge old student could not regenerate from that.

Jiang Zhi and Leo, touched their neck in a cold sweat, imagining if it was their neck that had been broken.

Kiran looked at the dead body of the student as it disappeared.

"Another point down," Kiran said withdrawing his hand.

He was finally able to calm his breath, he had been on the edge planning everything about of how would kill the old students perfectly so he there would be no mistakes, even though the old student was not as strong as the last one he had killed, he still had to be careful in the process, old students had all kinds of abilities and techniques, their strength wasn't really measured by their level of evolution.

After releasing his nerves, he looked over only to see Jiang Zhi and Leo deeply looking at him.

"Is something on my face"

"No nothing" both of them quickly replied

They still felt shivers on their necks from seeing Kiran kill the old student.

After some seconds Jiang Zhi finally got back his confidence.

"Why did you come here". He asked.

" I was looking for old students before I heard a disturbance around this area and decided to come to check it out"

"Or you probably came here because you saw us fighting the new student, and wanted to get easy points when we tire him out," Jiang Zhi said mockingly,

"I should have probably, let that old student kill you before I intervened," Kiran said a bit angry.

"Don't act like any kind of savior, I know you are here for the points, and without our help, you probably wouldn't have been able to kill the student"

"I didn't come here because you if Leo wasn't here, I would have probably let that guy kill you," Kiran said mockingly

"Thank you, Kiran we probably have been killed if you didn't intervene" Leo finally said.

He was really thankful Kiran had came, because he knew, he would have probably been the only one who would have died in the fight, Jiang Zhi would have probably escaped.

Jiang Zhi looked angrily at Leo as he heard what he said,

"I will never agree you came here to save anyone, "Jiang Zhi said before walking away,

No one tried to stop him, he quickly disappeared into the forest.

" Seriously I don't know what's wrong with that guy" Leo blurted,

"He's a stupid spoilt rich Kid, that's how they always act"

"How did you guys get together anyway"

"Actually just like you, he came here, after he sensed a disturbance created when the old student was chasing after me, he quickly came thinking he was strong enough to fight the old student, but was left disappointed when he found out how strong the student was, I owe him though, the old student would have killed me if he was not there"

"Seriously I never expected the old students were this strong, almost every one of them would be able to easily kill me," Leo said complaining.

"They really are too strong,"

"Kiran I don't know, how to ask this of you, after you just saved my ass, how about we join together and hunt the old student"

Kiran had also been thinking about joining up with other new students, it would make it easier for hunting down the old student.

"Sure, you are right, I think it better if we team up,"

Leo was happy as he heard that, he was just in the 6th level of basic evolution realm, he would probably not have any chance of gaining any points from this tournament, but now that they joined up, Leo knew that with Kiran's strength they would probably get to kill some old students.

Kiran didn't like teaming with other people, but even though he had just known Leo in the Academy, he could see he was a trustworthy person.

"Am really surprised you agreed to team up with me"

"I kind of trust you that's why"

Kiran answered.

"We haven't met for that long, how did I gain your trust."

"Am kind of good at profiling people, and also any normal person would have agreed with Jian Zhi that I only came here for the point, in other to please him, but you clearly didn't, which meant, you are a moral person, and moral people are always trustworthy"

Leo was surprised as he heard that, just a simple act had made Kiran trust him this much, normally he would never have sided with Jiang Zhi no matter how rich his father was, he wasn't a person that would kick his benefactor in the back.

Kiran and Leo shook hands, and so new cooperation was created.

They both explained their techniques in other to facilitate their cooperation, Leo was completely astounded as he heard all about Kiran's Elemental abilities, those abilities were completely off the charts.

Now he regretted why he didn't try to make more points, so he would buy his own Basic elemental manual, he could not help but think of the abilities he would gain after using it. With it, he would have probably made something out of this tournament.

Kiran also told him that almost all the old students, had the elemental abilities, now he was really thankful to Kiran, for teaming up with him.

They both started their journey together scouring the entire surrounding forest around them, looking for an old student, Kiran activated his eye elemental technique to the max but was not able to see anyone.

It has been about 2 hours since the tournaments had started and the old students still had the point for the highest kill in the tournament.

Unknown to both Kiran and Leo, Jiang Zhi who had left them, was experiencing his worst nightmare during this tournament, after he had left them, he had met with a strong old student, who had almost killed him, if not that his elemental ability was the lighting elemental ability and it enhanced his speed, he would have been killed already.

But he had managed to escape the student, after that he ended up exhausted, and had chosen a hidden place to meditate and recover back his lost energy, but surprisingly another old student had found his hideout and was currently chasing him throughout the forest.

"Bastards, you have only been one year ahead of me in entering the Academy, just you wait, it won't even take me up to a year, to trample all of you under my feet"

He shouted Cursing as he ran.

As he ran he could not help but Think about Kiran, "that i***t has probably been eliminated already", due to a high number of old students he had met, he expected that Kiran too would have met some old students and would have already been eliminated.

" maybe I should probably stop running, with the points I currently have, from killing those two old students, I would probably be the highest new student in this tournament" as he thought about that his eyes shined,

One of his main objectives in this tournament was to win the title of the new student with the highest point, Kiran, and Airra Star had overshadowed him during the entrance exam, he was not going to let that happen once again.

As he was busy thinking, he felt the sound of rushing footsteps at his back.

"s**t he has caught up to me"

As he was about to increase his speed, he saw another student in his front, this was the first student he had met and had escaped from.

"Damm, how did you find me"

"Next time when you curse, try to lower your voice,"

Damm., now he regretted shouting, cursing at the old student that was chasing him,

A figure emerged from his back, smiling.

"Now let me see where you will run to"

Surprisingly the student at his back, who had found his hidden place, and had been chasing him, was the old student, who he had abused before the tournament, he had immediately started running as he felt the student was coming near his hidden place, so he did not have time to look at his face.

"I told you I was going to deal with you during the tournament, now I got you"

Jiang Zhi knew he was f****d, he had abused the student, before the tournament, and he was definitely not going to let him go.

"Oh so it's you, the trash, that wasn't able to graduate in his first year" though he was afraid of the student, he was an extremely arrogant person, there was no way he was going to lower himself to the student.

The student squeezed his face in anger as he heard what Jiang Zhi said.

"Bastard, am definitely going to kill you"

The student sprinted towards Jiang Zhi throwing a punch towards Jiang Zhi, the student was an energy evolutionist just like Jiang Zhi himself, you could see energy covering both of their fists as they met, Jiang Zhi was sent flying, he hit a branch of a tree and broke it, he had been injured and his ribs were also broken.

"Bastard so you are not that even strong"

The old student sprinted over to where Jiang Zhi had fallen.

Jiang Zhi stood up, facing the student.

"Do you know who I am, I am the Jiang Family head's son"

The old student who was about to attack Jiang Zhi halted as he heard that, the Jiang Family was one of the strongest Families in green city, he might really be in trouble if he killed Jiang Zhi.

As the student was considering what decision to make, Jiang Zhi who had just stood up had already gathered his lightning elemental energy in his fist but had kept it hidden in his fists, quickly attacked his hand moved very fast, and before the old student could react, Jiang Zhi's fist was already in his throat, lightning streamed, from Jiang Zhi's fingers, electrocuting the old student till he died.

"Hahaha, now who is the dead one"

Jiang Zhi laughed after his sneak attack had worked, he had attacked to kill the student because he knew his excuse for being the Jiang family heads son, was not going to work, the student would quickly figure out that, the Jiang Family, could not really do anything to him in the Academy.

Though the Jiang Family was strong, they did not dare to offend the Academy, he had been continuously been warned by his dad not to throw his weight here in the Academy. The Academy would penalize him if they knew he had used his family name to bully other students.

All in all, his family name and status were useless in the Academy, and by the time the old student graduated from the Academy, he would already be a strong evolutionist, even the Jiang Family would be a bit wary about offending him.

The other student who had been chasing Jiang Zhi was surprised as he saw how the other student had died in Jiang Zhi's hand, he had been too slow to react, the attack was just too fast.

He had heard about their conversation and knew Jiang Zhi had used his family's name in other to survive but was alarmed as Jiang Zhi used his elemental ability, he could not believe the new students had already learned the elemental ability, in one month, it took most of them almost six months before they learned the basic elemental manual.

So he was careful when dealing with Jiang Zhi, he would no longer treat him like a new student.

He brought out his weapon and faced Jiang Zhi.

"Bringing your Families name isn't going to help you this time, I know your family can't do anything here"

Jiang Zhi did not falter as he heard the student, after he killed the other student, his points had reached 3, he was finally satisfied with his point, he was sure Kitan would have died, apart from Kiran he doesn't think anyone could beat his point, not even Airra Star, she had only taken second in the entrance exam because Kiran had helped her.

He rushed towards the student with abandon, he no longer cared about his life, as he rushed towards the student brandishing his sword, the student was perplexed as he saw how wildly Jiang Zhi was running towards him,

"Does he have, another lethal backup technique to use?" the old student thought as he saw Jiang Zhi, he only hesitated for some seconds, before finally making his mind to attack, he also brought out his weapon, activating his elemental energy, attacking Jiang Zhi with all he had.

Some distance away from them, Kiran and Leo were still running around looking for old students, they heard a disturbance from Jiang Zhi's location and quickly rushed toward there.

As they approached the place, they were immediately met with a scene of Jiang Zhi rushing towards the old student, and the old student was also about to attack.

"Isn't that Jiang Zhi?" Kiran's voice came.

Jiang Zhi who was about 2 meters before the old student, heard Kiran's voice,

"I know this voice," he said to himself as he rushed toward the old student.

"Damm, it's that Kiran, he isn't dead"

He cursed as he realized the voice came from Kiran.

He was already almost in front of the old student, he could feel the elemental energy, of the old student wrapped around his weapon, he was definitely going to die if they clashed,

"Dammit I can't die now"

He could not die right now, Kiran was still alive and could make more points than he did.

The student's weapon was a spear, and his elemental energy was fire, the combination of the weapon and the fire elemental energy that was covering the edge of the spear, would definitely kill him if he met it, he tried to reduce his speed, but it was already too late, he only had seconds before they met, thousands of thoughts ran through his head trying to think of a way to evade the spear.

"Dammit".
