My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy
Chapter 39: Duel Of Pride

Jumping out of the torn-down buildings, were close to 10 Dogsys and they headed towards Sophia's little group. Immediately they were within range, Sophia charged forward slashing and stabbing a dogsy that was when another lunged at her from behind, noticing it, she quickly pivoted therefore avoiding the attack and then she used the butt of her sword to hit the beast hard on the head therefore sending it crashing into the other one she was battling earlier.

Meanwhile Jack was having a more easier time handling the beasts that were attacking him. He was skillfully dodging the bites and scratches from the Dogsy and was precisely slashing the beasts. He even used some of the skills taught to them at the academy In his fight. While Peter, he was more like a bull.

Peter charged forward with his axe slicing anything that came in his way and it was working that was untill one of the beasts latched onto his leg with its teeth. Peter screamed out loud in pain and in anger he cut off the beast's head cleanly. But his leg was still bleeding from the bite and on seeing that, Sophia decided that Peter should go rest a bit.

"Don't worry, Jack and I will handle this. Just go and use the med kit." To which Peter initially refused. "Don't worry, I can still help."

After a bit of back and forth, Peter decided to go treat himself therefore allowing Sophia to concentrate on her fight properly. But that was a bad idea because as if sensing that their power were a little weakend, more dogsy came out of the building numbering around twenty.

"Crap! This is bad." Sophia said gritting her teeth preparing for battle again.

Jack didn't even seem worried, he just kept on going. Skillfully dodging, avoiding and killing the beasts one after another. That was when Jack spotted a weak beast that was quite injured so he decided to finish it up so it won't cause any problems for them later on. When Jack got close to the beast, that was when something fast and sharp skimmed past his face and headed for the beast therefore killing it.

"Hey! Since we got the kill on the beast, then it is rightfully ours right?" A voice said coming over.

Quickly turning around, Jack saw that it was the same guy that claimed the stole their beast crystal the other day. It was Ben. And then one of his teammate hurriedly went passed Jack to fish out the crystal. Jack didn't say anything because Sophia was struggling against the beasts so he decided to let it go and he should help Sophia.

Jack started hunting again this time with a little more aggression. He hit a beast with his foot sending it a few feet away from him and then he went forward to finish it but then again something fast flew past him and finished the beast off. Checking what killed the beast, Jack noticed that it was an arrow and then he turned towards Ben who just had a large smile on his face.

Ignoring them, Jack continued fighting and then the same thing kept happening over and over again with Jack injuring a beast and Ben's team finishing him off. This greatly pissed Jack that he went towards Ben instead of the beasts.

"What the heck is that all about!?"

Ben just raised an eyebrow. "What else does this look like? I'm hunting."

"Then why are you stealing our kills? Just hunt somewhere else." Jack said.

"Huh? This is where I wanna hunt and what are you gonna do about it?" Ben asked.

"Jack! Let them be, I need your help now. I'm about to be overwhelmed." Sophia called out.

Jack just angrily stomped his foot in anger and ran back to help Sophia. It was impressive how she was able to defend herself from three beasts that were attacking her at once. Then Jack came and helped kill some beasts that were coming towards Sophia. After a few minutes, there were no more beasts heading their way only one more beast was left.

And the beast was injured. Seeing its comrades dead, the beast started to scurry away from them but Jack wasn't about to let it go. He lifted his sword and held it like a type of spear then he threw it forward towards the running beast and then Jack noticed another arrow side by side with sword and then together, the sword and arrow plunged into the beast.

"That kill is ours." Ben shouted coming over. Jack was looking down while his fists were clenched in anger. He was beyond breaking point.

'That is it!' "I have had enough of you." Jack dashed towards Ben at a speed that almost seem inhuman and then he threw a punch towards Ben's face but Ben managed to narrowly avoid the punch and then he quickly punched Jack back but it didn't even manage to make Jack flinch.

Meanwhile, Peter came back over and saw Jack fighting against Ben and Sophia gathering all the beast crystals they earned.

'if it is one person, Jack can handle himself. I need to help Sophia collect the beast crystals.' Peter thought and then he went to Sophia and helped collect all the beast crystals.

After collecting the crystals, it was remaining only the ones that Ben's team killed and the one Jack and Ben killed. So Sophia carved out the beast crystal that Jack and Ben killed together, left the rest and headed towards Jack and Ben that were still fighting.

"Enough!" Sophia said after getting close. "Stop acting like toddlers, let's settle this matter maturely."

Hearing her voice, they both stopped fighting and turned to look at her. "What do you suggest we do?" Jack asked.

"Actually, I propose a duel between me and one of you." Ben said.

"Oh really!?!" Jack said. "You do know that we are the number 1,2 and 3 among the first years. And you want to still fight with us?" Jack asked.

"I know," Ben replied. "And besides, we aren't weak either."I'm ranked number 4 in the academy so I can handle myself.

"Fine then." Jack said. "Let's begin, let's fight."

"Haha. I'm not gonna fight against you. I know that you're stronger than me. After all we were all there when you went toe to toe against Harry."

"So who do you want to fight against?" Sophia asked.

"Him." Ben said pointing towards Peter.

"Me?" Peter asked pointing towards himself. "You really wanna duel with me?"

"Yes."

"Fine then. If that's what you wish then so be it. Let's not waste any time shall we?" Peter said to which Sophia pulled him a little to the side.

"You do know that you're currently injured right."

"Yes I know but it's only a few scratches. I'm fine, I can handle myself."

"Are you sure?" Sophia asked. "Because there's no need for us to duel against them, after all we have more than what we need we can just head back."

"No it's okay. I just want to wipe away the smug look from his face."

Sophia just sighed. "Fine, if you want to do it then you can go ahead but try not to get to injured okay."

Peter finally walked away from Sophia to face Ben. "Don't worry, I don't plan to."

After a few minutes of going over the rules, Peter and Ben stood a few feet away from each other while staring into their faces.

"Are you guys ready?" Sophia asked.

"Yes!" They both said together.

After listening to their response, Sophia raised her hand up and let it over a bit while looking left and right at Peter and Ben and then with one smooth motion, she swung her hand down therefore signalling the start of the duel.
