Project Superior: A Hero's Awakening

A Fierce Student Battle II

As the dust settled, an injured Princess Misaki carried a knocked-out and critically injured Jason on her back.

Elowen released the strengthened vein trees she had created to defend herself and those around her, but the explosion still caused a few injuries.

Elowen noticed Princess Misaki approaching them from a distance, fatigued and injured. She raced up to Princess Misaki, asking if she was alright and if she needed to be healed.

Princess Misaki smiled and responded, "It's okay; you don't need to waste your remaining energy just to heal me."

Elowen refused to budge, realizing how much suffering Princess Misaki was in, and began to treat her by generating healing flowers that could heal anything they touched.

As Elowen treated Princess Misaki, Albert, one of Jason's team members, expressed amazement at Jason's defeat, saying, "I never imagined Jason getting knocked out in a battle of power.".

Emily, irritated, remarked, "I told him we should have fought Princess Misaki all at the same time.".

"But he didn't listen," she went on.

Darius then told Emily, "We probably would have lost because of Princess Misaki's genius and skill."

When Princess Misaki overheard their argument, she stated, "Relax; I could never win against Jason in a battle of raw strength.".

"I only won because of my skill and experience with my family's Heavenly Sky ability," Princess Misaki explained.

Sophie, who was lying on the ground from exhaustion, replied, "Well, at least he had fun fighting someone as strong as you, Your Highness.".

Princess Misaki laughed and responded, "Well, I'm honored.".

As they all agreed not to attack each other so they could relax for a while, Aria observed that there were a lot more spiders than usual.

A few spiders started climbing on everyone, but they were too exhausted to notice.

Aria immediately grasped what was going on, but before she could inform everyone that they were being attacked, all of the spiders bit them at the same time. Injecting incredibly lethal and toxic venom into their bodies, leaving them entirely paralyzed and unable to move.

As they lay there on the ground, paralyzed and perplexed by what was going on, they heard a laugh and a familiar voice.

"You guys all look pathetic, you know?" Prince Magnus mocked him as he assumed a higher position with two other teams at his side.

"What on earth are you doing, Prince Magnus?" Elowen inquired, puzzled.

But Prince Magnus responded arrogantly, "I am not obligated to explain myself to a peasant like you.".

Jack then exclaimed in anger, "You've been plotting behind our backs?"

"How could you betray your team?".

In the blink of an eye, Prince Magnus stood in front of Jack, resting his finger on his head, and threateningly said, "Watch how you speak to a royal prince like me.".

"Or would you rather I accelerate your brain until it resembles jelly?" he inquired menacingly.

"So those venomous spiders that bit us were done by you?" Princess Misaki then questioned Prince Magnus.

To which Prince Magnus replied, "Yes, Your Highness.".

"But it wasn't me who told them to bite you, but my comrade over here who controlled them to bite you all," he remarked.
