(IMPORTANT AN: Hi!!! A very important announcement, from today onwards, we will be changing the upload schedule... yes... Sadly... No more daily Updates ;-;

Nah, just kidding, but yes, my upload schedule will be shifting to this same hour every day, just moving it 4 hours earlier so you can get the chapters sooner! Yay!

With that out of the way, here's the chapter!)

"Repent..."

The instant that word echoed through the air, tears started rolling down my cheeks.

"I'M SORRY! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!! I'M SORRY!!!"

As I looked up to face her, I saw her click her tongue as she plunged my sword into the ground, barely leaving the handle over the ground, making it virtually impossible to pull out... And as I stared at the sword with fear for my life, she only worsened it, by leaving me with a final line with enough killing intent to make my heart feel like it was about to be crushed through fear...

"Never... ever... Talk down to someone... Understood...?"

I wanted to nod, yet I couldn't, and without waiting for my response, she turned to Callum and nodded...

"Ah... R-REIKA IS THE WINNER!!!"

Pietro and the Evenhide sisters seemed so distressed and even mad at what had just transpired... 'I'm sorry to disappoint you... But this was my mistake...'

Looking at me one last time with disgust, Reika started leaving...

Myria and Scarlet were standing in the audience quietly when Scarlet suddenly turned to Myria with a smirk...

"I win..."

Without much more said, Myria reluctantly passed what looked to be a pouch of coins to Scarlet who started jumping euphorically.

Without much more said, Myria, Scarlet, Kira and Callum followed Reika as she left the training grounds leaving behind a sobbing Haruto, an impressed harem and a fainted Pietro...

Reika's P.O.V.

As we had finally arrived at the adventurer's guild main hall, I heard a threatening feminine voice which made me freeze:

"...Reika〜"

I slowly turned around cautiously, only to be met with Myria's face looking at me intently... As tilted her head, she articulated words filled with an ominous tone, which contradicted the big smile on her face...

"Never do that again〜"

'...'

"Hehe〜 Did I take my joke too far〜?"

Answering as if I didn't know anything she only got closer to my face as a wicked aura began to form around her...

"Yes, Reika〜 Never do that again..."

Suddenly, a lot of killing intent blasted off at once, making me flinch, as she finished her sentence...

"Otherwise I might just 'accidentally' stop covering you〜"

*Gulp*

"U-understood Myria..."

In a split second, all of the killing intent was swept away as Myria returned to her cheerful outgoing self:
