Chapter 239 lt was Self-Defence

“Good.”

Saying that, Nux disappeared.

Myrill, who was looking in the direction where Nux was standing with a lost look on his face suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder.

He came out of his reverie when he noticed that Nux had disappeared, he turned around only to see Nux looking at him with a big smile on his face.

“You messed with a wrong person, Pest.”

“H-Huh? Wha- Kkhhoookkk!”

Myrill wanted to retort, however, Nux directly punched his gut so hard that his eyes nearly popped out and he directly coughed out blood.

Nux, however, wasn’t done.

He grabbed Myrill’s hair and then smashed his head on his knee,

“Ugghh!”

Of course, he didn’t stop it after doing it once, he lifted Myrill’s head, and then smashed it on his knees again, then again, again, and again.

“Ugghh…”

Within a minute, Myrill’s somewhat decent face was turned into a disfigured mess that was covered with blood, sweat and tears.

“Heehh? Aren’t you the King of this Class? Why aren’t you fighting back?”

Suddenly, Nux questioned.

“Ughh…”

Of course, Myrill didn’t answer.

No, it was more like he couldn’t answer.

His face was all disfigured, his nose was completely broken, there was blood all over, the blood had even cloaked around his windpipe, whenever he opens his mouth, blood instead of words flows out.

“Isn’t the King of the Class a little too weak?” Nux questioned as he turned towards other boys in the class.

“Wait… don’t tell me you used all the strength in that previous attack.

Well, if that is the case,”

Nux then let go of Myrill’s hair and stepped back.

However, soon, a crazy smile appeared on his face and he laughed,

“Then too bad for you!”

Grabbing his hair again, he smashed his face on his knee, again.

Then, Nux took his time to step on the back of the foot of Myrill and then,

*Crack*

“AAAGGGHHHHHHH!!!”

He broke Myrill’s ankle and the latter howled in agony.

“Also, what’s with that pathetic display of the Skill, I am sure Teacher Evane must be disappointed,

Here, let me show you how it is done.”

Nux then stepped back and soon, a fireball appeared above his hand.

Then, the Fireball shot toward Myrill and,

*BOOM*

It burst apart and Myrill’s body flew away and clashed with Teacher’s desk.

“Hmmm, I still need some practice huh… well, it is handier of a skill than I expected, I guess I work hard and train it more.”

Nux nodded to himself while the other students glanced at him with horrified looks on their faces.

They were all Advance Stage Cultivators, why the hell is the gap between them so big!?

How did this man defeat Myrill so quickly!?

And why did it seem so effortless!?

He even had the time to chat while he attacked him.

Although Myrill wasn’t the strongest student in the class, he was easily in the third or second number when it came to strength and even the strongest student in the class would need to fight Myrill for hours before the results finally come out.

But this…

What the hell is this!?

“What happened here!?”

While students were observing Nux and analyzing the fight, Teacher Evane, who heard the commotion rushed into the class and saw everything.

First, the seats behind were turned into smithereens and by how everything was burned, it was clear that someone had used the Fire Burst Skill.

That, however, wasn’t the worse.

The worst thing was that a student’s body was lying beside the Teacher’s desk.

His whole body was burned, even his hairs were burned and he had now turned bald, his face was disfigured, his foot was turned in a weird way, showing that it was broken as well,

All in all, the Student’s condition was critical, the only good thing about this was that the student was still breathing.

“I asked, what the hell happened here!?”

Seeing that no one answered her question, Teacher Evane questioned again. This time, her tone was a lot stricter and louder than before.

“It was self-defence.”

Teacher Evane turned towards the source of the voice and saw Nux standing with both his hands in the air.

“What did you say?” She questioned as she raised her eyebrow.

This… this was self-defence? Was this new student kidding her!?

“He was the one who attacked me first, it wasn’t a normal attack either, he used Fire Burst when we were barely 10 cm far from each other.

If that attack had hit me, I would have died.

Seeing death in front of my eyes, I was scared.

Then, my fear turned into anger and I lost control over my emotions and attacked back.

Then… this happened.”

Nux told everything that happened honestly.

He was an upright person after all.

“T-This is true. Myrill used Fire Burst to attack Nux first and that attack was definitely lethal.” Anna nodded in agreement.

‘Though I don’t think this man was the least bit scared.’

Of course, she didn’t say that out loud.

“Yes, that attack could have killed Nux. It was simply a self-defence”

“I would have lost control over my emotions too, it was too dangerous.”

“Yes, it’s all Myrill’s fault.”

Other girls, who had a good impression of Nux in their minds, supported him as well.

The only ones who were left were the boys.

“Teacher Evane, it was indeed Myrill who attacked first.”

Suddenly, the boy who stepped in front of Nux yesterday stepped forward and muttered.

He didn’t like Nux either, however, today, Nux was right.

No matter how pissed off you are at someone, it doesn’t give you the right to kill them, not only that, Myrill attacked without a warning.

A pathetic behaviour.

Nux was 100 times better than a coward like him.

Seeing him supporting Nux, other students stepped up and started supporting Nux as well.

Within a few minutes, Nux’s status changed from the assaulted to the one who was assaulted.

He had become innocent.

Not like he was not innocent before.

He is an honest and upright person after all.
