82 The Bandits Division Vs The Norms Division Finale

“Y-You...” The female student stuttered and then staggered a few steps when she saw the impact that the lightning had on Nevaeh.

Instead of causing severe damage to Nevaeh, the lightning seemed to have provided Nevaeh with more power. Nevaeh folded her hands across her chest, and a blissful smile could be seen on her face.

Suddenly, a punch was struck at Nevaeh. The attack had happened so fast and sudden that Nevaeh didn’t see it coming, it was only after the blow was a few inches away from her that the hair on her body stood on its end.

With a quick body movement, Nevaeh swiftly moved her face away, she then supplied her legs a bit of force and struck out a full force punch of her own.

And just like Nevaeh, Enzo was also able to react quickly. He clenched his left hand into a tight fist after his right punch was evaded, and slammed his fist against Nevaeh.

BANG!

The collisions of both fists caused a shockwave in the surrounding, and both Enzo and Nevaeh took several steps backward. However, while Nevaeh went four steps backward, Enzo was pushed seven steps backward.

“Hmm,” Nevaeh sneered, “Hahaha!! You’re no match for me, Enzo.” Nevaeh exclaimed with a sadistic smile on her face.

After the clash, the both of them were pushed backward, and Enzo’s eyes bulged a little. He then glared at Nevaeh as she spoke, and it wasn’t up to a second after she said those words, that she disappeared.

.....

Enzo, of course, knew that she didn’t disappear, and instead she had altered her body to a microscopic level. He was on the lookout, scanning through every possible area while being extremely vigilant.

“This is really going to be troublesome.” It was Victor that spoke. Victor had pulled the purple rod out of his hand and appeared beside Enzo.

“Just remember that whatever happens, don’t make any supernatural move on her. She can absorb any supernatural attack of all kinds and use it to empower herself.” Victor gasped deeply and then shook his head.

“I was able to deal with her because of that sneak attack, but that piece of shit just decided to screw it all up.”

Victor had an irritated expression on his face as he recalled the flame outburst that caused everything. To Victor, if the flame hadn’t occurred, then there were high chances that they would have gotten the stock market already.

“This bitch! She has moved her target away from us, and now she is attacking the other student in the division.” Victor exclaimed as he saw purple rods puncturing through the bodies of students all over the surrounding.

Enzo was about to make a move when Victor pulled him backward. “No,” Victor mumbled in a low voice.

“We are not some pathetic hero or saviors. It’s every man for himself in here!! The moment they chose to go plunder the norms division, they were already prepared for the worst scenarios of all.”

Victor smirked as he watched how his mates were stumbling to the ground after being impaled by the purple rods one after the other. He turned towards Enzo, “Everyone’s life is in danger here, we can’t protect them when even our life is at risk here.”

While there was no response from Enzo, he didn’t make a move any longer, and instead he continued to search for Nevaeh.

Nevaeh was however no where to be seen, apart from the purple rods which were being sent by her, there was no other sign of her in the surrounding.

“If this continues, we are going to lose,” Enzo muttered.

Enzo’s hands were clenched into tight fists as he watched the death counts increase with each second and minute. And if in the end, they do manage to get their hands on the stock market, they would have lost all the bandit division students.

“We won’t.” A second after Enzo spoke, Victor’s voice rang out. “The least that could happen is they would only remain a handful of us from the division,” Victor said.

As Victor saw Enzo’s eyebrows furrow, he flashed a cold smile at him.

“Nevaeh is a fool!” Victor stated, “The power she has accumulated poses a threat to our lives, but she isn’t confident enough in her ability. And instead of coming after us, she wants to harm those around.”

“We simply have to wait until the powers she gained from that flame and lightning wears off, and then we attack,” Victor said.

Enzo nodded his head when he heard Victor. He stood on guard, preparing for any situation that might occur, and after a few minutes, something happened.

Nevaeh appeared in front of the both of them and with a wave of her hand, she sent forth six purple rods at them.

As Victor saw the rods in front, he immediately brought his dual pistols out. Victor pulled the triggers on both guns simultaneously, while his eyes remained on Nevaeh.

BOOM!

“You must be delusional if you think this would take us down.” And as the rods made contact with the bullets, the six of them exploded.

Victor’s mouth opened slightly, he was about to speak when Nevaeh pointed her finger at him. Victor pointed one of the pistols at her, and gently he turned towards the direction she was pointing at.

“What have you done!!!” Victor’s eyes twitched, and he rushed towards the body that was on the ground.

The body was covered from head to toe with purple rods. There wasn’t a single area of the body that was spared from these purple rods, as they punctured through everywhere.

Victor went to his knees with his hands, and legs shaking as he saw Enzo on the ground.

“Enzo...” Victor muttered in a low voice.

Enzo’s eyes were still wide open, but his body was covered in blood and his breathing had become erratic. As Enzo heard Victor, he mustered all the strength and gave a thumbs up with his finger, before then saying.

“Leave.” Those were Enzo’s last words before he shut his eyes closed.

A bone-chilling smile appeared on Victor’s face soon afterward. He stood from the ground, glaring at Nevaeh who had a mocking smile on her face.

“How does it feel? Watching someone close to you die, I’m sure the pain is something you have never experienced before.” Nevaeh sneered, “But this is merely the beginning, Victor. I will rip out every last one of your members till there is no one left.”

The rage was evident in Nevaeh’s voice as she spoke. She already had another six purple rods in between her fingers.

“Hmm”

Victor threw both pistol guns he was holding on to, and then stared at Nevaeh. His previous playful demeanor was gone, and instead, it was replaced with a fierce and ruthless form.

It didn’t take much for Victor to realize how Nevaeh had attacked Enzo. Those rods she threw at him earlier were simply distractions, and her real target had been Enzo the whole time.

Possessing the ability to shape those purple rods at will, Nevaeh must have made those rods extremely tiny. So tiny that Enzo didn’t even notice any of it.

It was only after she altered their size that he realized the danger he was in. And of course, it was too late at that moment.

“The stock market was earned by our hard work, but you animals from the bandit’s division want to reap our success like it’s nothing. The academy might deploy the law of the jungle, but that doesn’t give you the right to step over others just because you can.” Nevaeh exclaimed.

Victor smirked when he heard Nevaeh, “When you own something precious, and you don’t possess the power to protect it, it is bound to become others.” Victor said.

“I will demonstrate that to you.”

A second after Victor spoke, he dashed forward. Nevaeh also didn’t waste any time, and she moved as well. She was about to assume her tiny form when a machine gun appeared on Victor.

KA! KA! KA! KA! KA! KA! KA! KA!

Victor held the m134 machine gun firmly, and he sprayed the surrounding with bullets. Victor didn’t hold back in the slightest, he simply bombarded the whole surrounding with bullets.

Nevaeh had already assumed a microscopic form, and with her astounding movement, she was able to evade the bullets that were coming toward her. She had attempted to destroy the machine gun with the purple rods, but the result wasn’t as she hoped.

As Victor didn’t hold anything back with the machine gun, whenever she threw the rods even in the tiniest form, they would be destroyed by the bullets that were sent forth by Victor.

KA! KA! KA! KA! KA! KA! KA! KA!

Nevaeh continued to elude the gun’s attack, however after a few minutes, her body shook violently, and she found herself unable to move.

Slowly, Nevaeh moved her gaze to the object that her leg had just stepped on, and her mouth opened slightly. “Trap,” Nevaeh mumbled the word out of her mouth with shock evident in her eyes.

Nevaeh had no idea how Victor did it, but somehow he had placed a land set trap on the ground. The set-trap was so tiny that it left Nevaeh very startled at how he was able to come up with an item like this.

Meanwhile, a second after Nevaeh’s legs touched the trap he planted, Victor was notified. And quickly he placed the machine gun aside and a rifle appeared in his hand.

“I surrender!” Nevaeh exclaimed, and quickly she transformed back to her original form.

As she transformed to her original form, the trap expanded, making it more difficult for her to escape even if she wanted to.

“I surrender! You win... The stock market is yours.” Nevaeh yelled as she saw Victor staring through the scope of the rifle.

“The...” Nevaeh was about to speak when Victor’s voice rang out. “It’s already too late. Now, your death is of more value to me than the stock market itself.” With that said, and Victor pulled the trigger.
