The blade was so close and my eyes widened.
But suddenly my adrenaline boosted with a rush and I kicked away the guy with a back flip and he was pushed back and I stood and patted on my shoulder removing the dust from it.
"Oh~ so the Royals have sacrificed a strong girl today?" The guy said which I didn't understood by what he meant.
But the attack at me gave me a reason to once again make my hands dirty and bloody and I smiled creepily.
I looked at the guy with a creepy smile which threatened him in a second and in no time I was in front of him with the same creepy smile and my nonstop punches started breaking his skull and he was being pushed back by each blow.
After 10th punch, I was going to give him the last blow which will end it forever but suddenly he disappeared.
"Too strong."
I heard another voice from my back and I took no time and moved my leg and body bending down and disbalanced his posture which shocked him and I gave the first and last blow to my second victim by kicking at his face and he was pushed far away and ended up colliding to the trees and breaking them all.
The first and the new, third victim were shocked by my blow. They all started sweating and stepped back.
My urge to kill was becoming more wild like I was another human. I turned back with the same creepy smile and they two were already feared.
But my first victim smiled with a sweat and explained, "Kid, before you kill us, at least listen of us--"
I was again in front of him and I gave him the last blow, a punch on his face and he was pushed far away colliding to the trees and I ended up fainted and sitting next to my second victim.
The blow disturbed the dust and everything was not visible to see. But soon dust arrived and... The third guy was holding a rifle and muttered, "It's too much kid."
And he fired the first bullet which I easily dodged with a serious face.
The guy was shocked that how can I even dodge a bullet?! And with fear, he started firing non-stop on me.
By small steps and movement, I was dodging each and every bullet. I remain calm and patient for the second he loses the bullets.
He was fearing more by each bullet being dodged and his rifle stopped with the lack of bullets.
I came in front of him and just going to punch and end it but the third guy immediately took out a pistol which he was hiding all the time and fired.
The guy was shocked. My hand was covered with complete blood.
I have to stop the pistol by my palm hand and it threw lots of blood. I couldn't dodge all of a sudden attack so I have to block it.
The guy with fear lost the grip of holding the pistol and I snatched it from my bloody hand and pointed at his head immediately.
The guy rose his arms with fear and surrendered, "... I... I surrender... Now please... listen to our words... It's our job... Please hear me out..."
I looked at my bloody hand and looked at his eyes and proclaimed, "As compensation, give me 100 gold coins."
The guy was freezed by my requirement. And suddenly started laughing, he couldn't control his laugh anymore and he laughed loudly.
"... So... So you want money? You are a money child?"
He dropped his arms and again my pistol pointed and touched at his forehead and he was trembled and rose his arms again surrendering.
"Ok, ok. Sorry, I will not try to run."
"Good."
But the guy started sweating, "... But isn't 100 gold coins too much?"
"That's not."
The guy smiled with a sweat on his forehead.
"Fine, I will pay you." And the guy dropped his arm again which made me angry and I warned him again by sticking the aim of pistol to his forehead but he was not afraid anymore.
"I am not running, I want to give you a thing first."
I looked carefully with being alert already but what he took out was a piece of paper.
He smiled and showed the paper, "This is the form to join Academy, if you want. It doesn't takes money, just the requirement is that you should not be of 10 or more."
I was confused, "What is it about?"
And the guy finally explained, "What we just did, attack at you, is the addmission's another requirement. The Academy teaches magic and sense of fighting. But to join it, the student must fight against us at the roads to the Academy. By the fight, they can even die whose responsibility we don't own."
It was still confusing for me... What?
The guy gave a sigh, "You just understand that to join Academy, you will have to fight for your survival. If you defeated us, you will have access to Academy and also the Tower."
"Tower?"
"You have never heard about Tower?"
"No, I know. But I am surprised that Tower is also related to it."
"Tower is actually a long Tower which gives many dungeons, missions and assignment. On each floor of Tower, you will rank up by the number of the people who are also in the Tower. For example, if you reach to the floor 12, you will be way more far and higher at rank than below 12 while over 12 will be more ranked higher than you. And, the more you climb, the more you difficulty you will get on dungeons, but unfortunately, joining a dungeon is not necessary."
I was understanding a little bit but many of the things flew away from my mind.
"I know it's complex and took much complicated. You will understand when you will also climb."
It makes sense.
"But... why would Syli throw me when he has to get addmission?" I asked and the guy was looking surprised.
"Syli... means the son of Synin?"
"Yes."
The guy smiled, "Because he is from the royal family. All the royal families do this to get an addmission. They sacrifice their workers like servants and guards to run fast and escape from the road and death. We have to do our job, to fight, and if they fooled us and sacrificed their workers, we are hopeless and have to fight with their workers."
"... Will he get the admission?"
"The requirement is reaching Academy through the road, so of course he will get addmission."
Now I finally understood the whole game of Levin, Synin and Syli.
"I can remember that how many kids and cousins of Synin got admission while they did nothing but their workers have to be sacrificed, this is not just him but all the royal families do."
And now I understood... Why everyone was disappearing from the mansion.
I left the aim and made my arm straight downwards.
"By the way..."
The guy looked at me.
"... I have broken 25 bones of the first one who started fighting with me and 52 of the second."
The guy started sweating.
"Ask for ambulance for them."
The guy was shocked and with the same face of smiling with a sweat uttered, "You are kind--"
But suddenly the guy fall and I looked... someone just threw a dart on his back neck.
