Starting Chapter 62 of "The SSS Ranked Villain's Return": [Fragment of Calamity Series Skill Unlocked!] [Skill (2/???) Simple Stab] [Skill Description: Stab ahead, dealing very high... See what happens next!

[Fragment of Calamity Series Skill Unlocked!] [Skill (2/???) Simple Stab] [Skill Description: Stab ahead, dealing very high concentrated damage to all enemies within radius. Cooldown: 1 Minute] Finally. Neraxis plopped down onto the ground, watching as the Shadow Born fell after a hole had pierced straight through its body. Checking the time, he noticed it was now 8:00 A.M.—just two hours away from the first lesson. Yet that did not matter at the moment, as he could finally relax and check his status. +-----+ Status Name: Neraxis Valen Age: 16 Stigmata: [Fragment of Calamity {55.3%} (Seals Unlocked: 2)] Affinity: [Eclipsed Abyss {SSS}] —Perks: [Aura of the Abyss] [Unyielding Vitality] [Cosmic Sight] —Stats: Rank: E- -> E@@@@ Strength: E- -> E Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire Agility: E- -> E Stamina: E- -> E Intelligence: E -> E+ Mana Capacity: E —Secondary Stats: Luck: H- Charm: B- —Skills: [Eve of Ruin {E}]* [Swordsmanship {F}] [Stellar Dominion {A}] [Minor Reflect {D}] "Yeah," she replied without elaborating, making him let out a sigh. "Say, Celina, do you do anything aside from training and stalking people?" Neraxis couldn't help but ask. Yet he was met with a shrug. "I need to train and get stronger faster, so no—that's all I do." "Then do you want to spar?" he asked with a raised brow and immediately received a nod in response. "Yes." Unlike the previous times, she wasn't as outspoken, yet he couldn't really understand her either. A blank page, one that eerily reminded Neraxis of himself. "Say... Celina, why do you want to become stronger?" "I want to kill my father," she stated as a small smile appeared on her face. "He's someone who hurt Mom, so I can't let him be—never..." Neraxis could see her emotions visibly shift, and as they did, the daggers tugged on her waist, emitting a faint crimson glow that soon went away. But that did pique his interest. "I'm sorry to hear about that, Celina. But have you tried to find out the reason why he hurt your mother?" She immediately shook her head. "Eternal Night. My father is a part of that group and has been even before I was born. That's why... I will kill him and kill everyone from that stupid group of his." Neraxis furrowed his brows at her explanation before saying, "I don't know how much you've researched about that particular group, but I do have to warn you—they are more dangerous than you might think." "I don't care," she expressed and grabbed hold of the training room door, swinging it open. "If I die, then so be it. I don't care so long as I can kill him." With those words, Celina entered the training room, leaving Neraxis standing by the door with a frown on his face. It's not my responsibility to change that mindset... but I'm not going to let her kill herself for no apparent reason, he thought and entered after her. [What she needs is closure, and I don't believe giving her some stupid reason to live would change much,] Evangeline mused. However, he did have one idea that sounded a bit worse than it actually was. What if I make her live for me? You know... give her a reason to not waste her life away. Evangeline's whistle resounded inside his mind as she said, [You're barking up quite the tree, aren't you? So many girls are showing interest in you, and here you are, responding in kind.] What can I say? Neraxis shrugged. All the women I've met so far have shared similar goals to mine. I can't help but feel slightly responsible for their well-being. Maybe it's stupid? Who knows. [Suit yourself,] Evangeline said before adding, [I will accompany you either way since I do also have some plans in store for the future.] Of course. Neraxis chuckled and lightly stretched, meeting the impatient gaze of Celina before him. "Hurry up already. I'll let you have the first few hits," she taunted, and soon, he made his way toward her, pulling out his sword. However, unlike the previous time they fought, he found himself easily blocking her aggressive attacks, redirecting her daggers to the side, and, at the same time, finding many openings he could use to strike her down. But he hadn't. Not yet, anyway. These 'close' bouts of sparring continued for the next hour until finally, the bell rang, signifying that they would be slightly late to class. With quick sprints, they made their way over, taking just under a minute to arrive and get to their seats. Unsurprisingly, both Neraxis and Celina earned weird looks, as it was unusual for two students to come running in all sweaty. Nonetheless, he ignored all of that and began paying attention to the lecture of the unamused Magnus. "Today we'll be learning combat tactics. Form a single-file line."
