Beauty is a Beast

Battle to Survival (2)

Nesrin tried everything to make a breakthrough, gobbling up every spirit energy she could muster. Fortunately, she manages to gain a breakthrough to orange rank in just two days!

She just entered the red level a day before but she actually rose another rank in such a short period of time. 

If everyone comes to know of this those so-called arrogant and genius children from different noble families would have wilted like flowers. 

Though Nesrin knew she was being obsessed and greedy, she knows that there would be any consequences if she continued to forcefully break through.  

However, in order to beat those that wanted to harm her she needed to become stronger.   

There was also this strange feeling that made her feel restless and nervous. And the only person who can make her feel like that is when the Queen is coming. 

"Cough! Cough!" 

"My lady!" Mary and Sebastian immediately entered the room. They both supported Nesrin. 

'Figures. I knew there would be consequences.'

Nesrin received a backlash due to forcibly trying to raise her orange level to the yellow level.

"My lady, please you need to rest! I will come together with you and participate in that event." Mary aggrievedly said. Karl said that event won't be held in the academy but on another island. Meaning to say, the Field of Glory is an island, it's not just some simple stage arena but a whole island. Which makes sense that they have to be careful with monsters roaming around. 

"I'm sorry, I was trying to advance to another level and strain myself. Cough!" 

Sebastian gave her some pills to ease the pain but it didn't work. The two servants didn't know what to do about this kind of situation. They haven't investigated this matter. 

"Mary, you can't enter with me. That's the rules." 

In these two days, Karl feeds them information about the school event happening tomorrow. Not only will they have to evade dying from powerful wild beasts and monsters there are also challenges in between. A duel between the challengers of the event. 

For every duel won, there's a chance to get high-grade weapons, potions, foods that contain spiritual energy, and the likes. Moreover, after winning you will be able to cultivate inside the Glory Pagoda for a week, 

That was a gate for her to become stronger. 

Nesrin wanted more power. 

She wanted to become even stronger. 

But what kind of school is this? Is this really how school works? Are they going to kill their students? If I had known, I wouldn't have been too excited in my first time attending!

Though you can throw the towel or admit defeat it has to be when the challenger is fighting another challenger. 

Nesrin stood up and ignored the pain as the pill didn't do much. Her expression is unreadable. Not only did burden her body, it actually made a lot of damage to her insides. 

"I'm going to recuperate. Don't enter my room unless I told you so." 

…

The next day.

Students and professors huddled together in the school hall. Though they are only a hundred students participating they are people the other students looked up to. 

They were at the aged of 18 yet some of them will have to bravely face monsters or at each other's throats. No one would blame you if one chicken out. 

"Today, we will once again face another year of the school's event. Once your name is mention by the Cup of Glory, each of your names will appear on the wall of Glory." 

Once the professor is done speaking an ancient gong or cry was heard. After that, a loud archaic, and majestic voice sounded. 

It was not from any students nor from any professors but actually the spirit of the Cup of Glory. It announces every name without any stutter.

"Zephyr Lysander  ——

"Karl Earlwood  ——

Once the name of the person was mention, the hard wall hanging on top of the wall shows their and picture. 

"Jira Gavril ——

"Narin Weigler——"

Announcing the names of the hundred students only took the spirit 4 minutes but when they thought it would finally stop it spoke Nesrin's name over and over again, reverberating inside and outside of school. 

"Nesrin Dawn? Isn't she the new student?"

"Did she put her name in there without knowing that new students were unable to participate?"

"Maybe."

"That's not right. Who even told her about the Battle to Survival? Furthermore, her name was mention a lot of times. It was probably done by someone who hated her. Really, beautiful people could bring trouble to themselves. There's a possibility that she's going to fight a lot of strong senior students. She'll probably die in exhaustion."  

"This is gonna be fun." 

Nesrin frown looking at the Wall of Glory. 

How did they get that picture? 

I know I look good but I didn't think I look that beautiful to the point I could cause my own downfall. 

Wow. That sounded really narcissistic.
