Lucas’s clothes were shredded, his Hit Points had reached a meager 451, less than 10% of his total, and he was covered in burns and blood from Venter and Mejia’s attacks, but he was in a good mood. Adrenaline was still coursing through every inch of his body and his heart was beating a hundred miles an hour. A few punches from Venter, another hit from Gabriel, or a little longer in Rennie’s poison cloud, and he might actually have bitten the dust. Even Gabriel’s uncast spell or a different attack from Rennie could have turned deadly if he hadn’t finished her off fast enough. There were so many factors that could have led to his death that just being alive actually felt good.

Clinging to life was a stark contrast from what he used to feel while being butchered over and over again. Back then, he had reached negative levels from the numerous deaths he suffered since he didn’t have anything to lose. Not even the after-death tunnel or respawn process had much effect on him, whereas some people became disoriented. Now, however, taking a death would have destroyed everything that he had worked for. His life was important now, it actually had meaning, and victory tasted all the sweeter because of it.

Lucas probably would have continued basking in the afterglow of his win, enjoying the smell of his last victim’s charred corpse and the looks of horror on the transfixed students’ faces, except his reverie was interrupted by the sound of clapping from the stands.

“That was beautiful,” Lilith called down. She had moved back far enough to get a full view, and she actually had a bag of popcorn in her lap and a tall bottle of mead next to her that seemed to be half drunk. “I love how you played with them, taking all those hits and leading them on, making them believe that they were winning only to surprise them with a quick and horrible death from their own attacks. That was a real masterwork.”

Does she think that I intentionally took those hits? There was nothing intentional about those attacks. Those bastards almost killed me, he thought, but he didn’t say it. If he did, he’d ruin the effect that her fangirling had on the crowd. Consciously or not, they had all taken a collective step back at her words.

Lilith casually popped a handful of popcorn into her mouth and talked around it. She asked, “So, do you plan on killing the two who pleaded for that girl’s life too? Do you want me to do it?”

“I think that’ll be okay,” Lucas answered. He had no idea what surprises might be waiting for him amongst the other combat class participants, and he couldn’t afford to fight again if one of them turned out to be as strong as Mejia.
