My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

After the revelation that Vynn revealed to all of them, there was silence in the room. Everyone was trying to take in what Vynn just said especially Jake who was the one to defeat Sebastian.

"Are.. are you sure about this?" Jake asked with his voice shaking.

"Affirmative. Sebastian is the little brother to the rank 3 of the second year. And I am pretty sure that Sebastian won't let this humiliation go like that. He is going to implore his brother's help to help teach you a lesson." Vynn said.

"And how do you know about this?" Peter asked with raised eyebrows.

"Well, am not supposed to tell you guys this but.." Vynn hesitated a bit with his hands all trembling. After taking a deep breath, Vynn continued. "You remember those second years that obstructed our way when we were on our way to get breakfast the other day right?"

"Yes. I remember and you said that it was nothing." Jack replied.

"Well, they work for Sebastian's elder brother. And they have been threatening me to betray you guys but I didn't want to so they always beat me up so badly and I always end up here, in the clinic." Vynn said tears falling from his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Jack asked while raising his voice a little bit.

"I didn't want to trouble you guys that's why I kept it hidden." Vynn answered wiping his face.

"Hold on a sec, what did they ask you to do? I mean how did they say you should betray us?" Jake asked.

"They wanted me to spy on Sophia, to find out what makes her so strong," Vynn said, his eyes downcast. "They are obsessed with her abilities, and they think she's hiding something."

Jake's eyes narrowed. "What do they think Sophia's hiding?" he asked, his voice low and urgent.

Vynn hesitated before speaking, "I-I don't know, but they are willing to do whatever it takes to find out."

Since Vynn didn't know what Sophia was hiding, they decided to turn towards Sophia to clarify.

"So, Sophia, what are you hiding? Why did they want Vynn to spy on you?" Jack asked.

"Nothing. I have nothing to hide or any secrets to keep." Sophia answered sharply.

"What do you mean you have nothing to hide? It's clear that you have something to hide or else how do you want to explain the second years beating up Vynn just to spy on your secrets?" Peter asked.

Sophia stood up angrily. "I don't know and I don't care. Maybe a screw or two has loosen in their heads because I have nothing to hide. Now if you will all excuse me, I need to go and rest." Sophia said walking out of the room on her way to their dorm room.

"It's clear that she is surely hiding something." Peter said.

"Whatever it is, it's her secret to keep. If she doesn't want to share, we need to respect that." Kate said.

"Respect my foot." Peter said angrily. "Because of whatever her secret is, we are being targeted by the upperclassmen."

"Everyone just calm down. Okay?" Jake said. "We will know how to cross the bridge when we get there."

They all calmed down and turned to Jake to know how he pulled off that miracle in his match with Sebastian.

"I-I don't really know. It just happened. I just used the technique that Lee taught us together with as much strength as I could muster and that was it. Bang! Sebastian was on the floor." Jake explained.

"Wow! That is awesome. Too bad I missed the duel." Vynn said.

To which Peter started recounting everything that happened in the duel. Step for step. It was like Peter didn't even take his eyes away from the match one bit. He even replicated the posture Jake pulled during and after the battle.

"Wow! That is truly awesome. From rank 180 to rank 20. I guess it will be difficult to catch up with you guys now. Jack is number 1, Sophia rank 2, Peter rank 3, Kate ranked 35 and now you ranked 20." Vynn said dejectedly.

"Don't worry bro. Very soon you will also rank up with us." Peter said comforting Vynn.

After that, they all chatted light heartedly before Hayley came to interrupt them.

"So, Vynn and Jake are all doing fine now so they can be discharged and if they still feel pain or anything, they can come back for a check up." Hayley said.

After an hour, Jake and Vynn were both discharged and they were accompanied by Peter, Kate and Jack back to their dorm room. On the way going, Kate couldn't help but say something.

"Hey, Jake, I want you to please promise me that you won't do something like that again." Kate said.

"wow! What a caring and kind hearted lady. I tell you Jake she's ideal and perfect for you." Zee who had been quiet all along suddenly couldn't help but comment.

Ignoring Zee, Jake decided to respond to Kate. "I promise I won't do something like that again. Not so soon anyway."

"Good. Because if you did, I won't forgive you." Kate added and went forward leaving Jake with the boys.

After a few minutes, they finally got to their dorm to rest especially the injured guys in the room. Nobody talked about Sophia's secret or anything they completely let it go. They thought if she was ready, she will come clean on her own and then they all went to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the second-year building, a meeting was taking place between a group of students.

"I'm telling you, he needs to be taught a lesson." Sebastian said.

"Don't worry, we will teach him a lesson, I will make sure of that." Sebastian's elder brother; Harry said.

"I want you to humiliate him publicly for me please." Sebastian said.

"Don't worry, we will hit where it hurts. I heard he's an orphan and he considers his roommates family, so we will just target one of his roommates." Harry said.

"Thank you bro." Sebastian said while standing up to leave.

"No mention. That guy will get what's coming for him." Harry said and to which Sebastian left the building for his dorm room.

At that same time, a stranger could be seen in front of the academy's building.

"Finally after a few days of walking, I am finally here at the academy." The stranger said. "Kid with the orb, I'm coming for you."
