MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Chapter 54: Tiara

Tiara could be seen running at a steady pace in a forest filled with tall mountains and trees.

She had a stern look on her face as she moved around looking for point.

She has mixed emotions right now as she was angry at herself right now and was determined to take first place this time around without any hiccups on the way.

When she first arrived at the Academy, she was acting indifferent to everyone because she possessed the Royal rank Bloodline and she also had the space element, these were the source of her pride.

But at the end, after everything she did, she lost her first rank position to someone who she didnʼt even put in her eyes initially.

She even lost miserably in a one on one confrontation which made her put in more effort.

Later when she accepted the Vice president as her master, she was happy and put in her entire six months into hard work in other to get back her rightful position from the person who took it from her.

Just to find out the person had become lazy, but she didnʼt dare underestimate him or let down her guard as she wasnʼt a fool, besides she still has that dragon that was hot on her tail if she faltered any moment.

During the written exam, she was confident to top the ranking this time even though she couldnʼt top the battle ranking during the entrance exam, she knew it was different this time as she has her master who helped her on almost everything and everytime she hit a wall

She wanted to get the first rank on the written exam in other not to let down her master and also prove something to herself.

But when the results were released, she ranked third on the ranking.

This broke her and shattered her resolve and confidence she had built up.

She further thought of how she disappointed her master and couldnʼt help but clench her fist in anger.

She was in deed angry at herself.

The human boy whom she thought had become lazy, although she didnʼt let down her guard around him, still came from nowhere after months of sleep and took away her rank yet again.

This time even the dragon who was hot on her tail stood above her with one point.

That maybe just one point to a few, but that one point was like the difference between heaven and earth as getting a 995 in the exam wasnʼt an easy feat.

Yet her two opponents did things she couldnʼt, one had the ever challenging new perfect score (995) which only two persons has ever gotten since the Academy came into existence.

And the other had the impossible perfect score which her master even told her nothing about after asking her for months.

She knew the Dean hadnʼt given the dragon anything or told him any secret about the impossible perfect score, if not he would have scored above the 995 so she concluded she lost a point due to her own shortcomings.

But she couldnʼt understand how someone who did nothing but sleep and eat and took no mission at all, has a score that even the disciple of the Dean and Vice president didnʼt get.

After a while of feeling down, she had a new fire burning her eyes, even though she came third this time on the written exam, the battle exam was different.

She was sure she has surpassed that human boy and just had to be wary of the dragon, so she had to go all out.

And for that, no mercy has to be given, she dealt with each monster the shortest time possible as not to waste time or slow down.

This was a battle against time and she couldnʼt disappoint her master and second time.

This time, she would stand above that dragon and human and have them both under her feet with her absolute strength.

Passion, motivation and confidence burned in Tiaraʼs eyes as she believed in her strength and skill she has built over the past six to seven months.

As she moved she sensed multiple auras in a particular direction, she immediately changed posture and ran in that direction.

As she moved she arrived in what seemed like a mountain range, as it had mountains surrounding the area, with water flowing like a lake and green grass growing on the ground.

Tiara saw a few beast moving about, some with their weapons, some just lying down, some gulping and chewing whatever they killed as food.

The had a long tail and stood on two legs with claws on their hands and vertical slit eyes.

They were a race called ʼLizardmenʼ.

They were also a warrior race, they were green with scales covering their entire body, with a small clothes covering their sensitive areas.

As Vivian stood from afar and looked at them, one of them suddenly opened itʼs eyes and looked in her direction, locking eyes with her.

Then it roared waking the rest and alerting them of an intruder.

They all looked in her direction at same time and roared together like it was choir.

Although Tiara attacked whatever she came in contact with due to limitated time, she wasnʼt charging in blindly like a fool.

They had been warned of the presence of SSS rank monsters, so whenever she saw a nest, she always observed for a while before attacking.

Although she could win against an early stage SS rank monster by fighting across ranks as she was at the early stage S rank and she was a genius, such performance would still take all her mana and bring injuries.

Which she couldnʼt afford as this was a fight that was given a 24 hours time limit.

(For those that are confused, F- is early stage, F is middle stage, F+ is peak stage)

As she didnʼt notice any SS- and above monsters she made her move by teleporting in their midst.

She unsheathed her sword as she just stabbed the nearest one to her in the chest before it could even react.

As the lizardmen were a bunch of unintelligent race, they didnʼt think much about how she disappeared and appeared.

They just went straight for attack as soon as one of them fell into the darkness.

Tiara not wanting to waste too much time and mana here as she still had battles ahead of her and didnʼt know what would happen, opted for fight with pure physical strength and her sword alone in other to save mana.

A lizardman arrived in front of her and cleaved with itʼs axe, Tiara blocked it without any trouble, another came beside her with spear and was about to thrust it at her.

Tiara simply sent a kick to the beast and itʼs entire upper half exploded like fireworks.

As they were too many, Tiara decided to use the most little amount of mana possible and deal with all of them in one fell swoop.

She controlled the blood of their fallen comrade and formed thin blood ropes and bound all of them, bring them all to a halt.

Tiara blurred as she moved instantly to get her points as anywhere she moved a head was already in the sky with blood flowing out each and every neck like a fountain.

Their dead bodies didnʼt even drop to the ground as they were decapitated.

They were still held in place till Tiara was done with all of them in a mere five minutes.

She waved her hands as the blood binding the lizardmen moved and brought all corpses they held to her as she put them in her space ring.

She controlled all the blood on the ground from the battle and stored it in her space ring also.

Then she disappeared without wasting time.
