I regressed and became the Sword Ice King

Lecturer Wisdom found himself in a bind. Now, he had to grade the boy he wanted to embarrass, and quite frankly, things were looking peachy for the boy.

Well, no, that wasn't what bothered him at the moment, he was more concerned with something else while he watched.

'When? How? Impossible! He couldn't have had the time to master any of this?! So, how is this possible?'

It seemed Raph was becoming more than just a threat now, he was becoming an enemy, or perhaps a foe that needed to be cut down, not "wary of" as he thought.

'Did, did he possibly master all that by watching? Impossible! How does one even do that'.

That kind of talent was unheard of, at least within the junior class.

He was still lost in thoughts when he noticed Raph's gaze on him.

"Well, what are you waiting for, Mr. Wisdom, end thi,s" He said with a chill tone as he retreated his hand from Javier's neck.

He walked away from the unconscious body, ready to come down from the Sparring Ring when the Lecturer stopped him.

"It has not ended yet". Lecturer Wisdom said, catching him off guard.

He turned towards the man, with a raised brow on his face.

"How?" He asked, walking back to the center of the Sparring Ring. "He's unconscious".

Lecturer Wisdom remained silent for a moment, unperturbed by his words.

'5…..4…..3…..2…1..'

He turned towards Javier, who still seemed unconscious on the floor.

"Javier, do you concede?" He asked.

'What is he talking about, Javier is obviously–'

Raph was cut off by the danger signs that ran through his body, and it was entirely warranted, as at that moment, Javier was standing next to him, his broadsword forming a crescent arc through the air, and a pulsating energy brimming within him.

'What?' Raph thought in confusion, but his reflex was not slower in any way. He slammed his longsword against Javier's broadsword causing a loud metallic sound to echo within the air.

The students cheered loudly, whispering soft praises for Javier.

'It's like he's the main character' Raph thought in confusion as Javier suddenly spun around, appearing behind him in a blink of an eye.

His broadsword was sent down from the sky like a guillotine, and the sound of metal slicing through the air reverberated with his movements.

Swift and precise, he slammed unto Raph's unyielding sword yet again.

Javier cursed under his breath, his gaze sparkling with new intent.

"I can not lose this battle!" He cried out, swirling across the floor as he pulled his sword through the air in reckless determination.

"I know". Raph pulled his sword upwards, parrying the attack away, and sidestepping Javier's follow up attack.

Javier's foot whipped through the air like a coiled spring causing a propulsion of wind in its wake.

"And that's why I want to trample on you a little," Raph said, swinging his sword through the air, aiming for the side of his abdomen.

"I won't let you" Javier replied with a bitter snarl, as he quickly regained his posture, pulling himself forward in a frantic effort to dodge the sword attack.

Luckily, he succeeded, dodging the attack by a hair's breadth, and for a moment, he felt elated.

Until Raph's hand clasped his face in a firm grip. "You are no Main Character".

He said with a hushed tone as he pulled him downwards with great force, shifting his center of gravity so that his weight would apply to this one attack.

"Barbarian Shuffling Technique; Body Slam".

He slammed Javier into the ground with a loud thud, causing the concrete floor to break due to the force.

Silence suffused the air again, and this time, their expressions were evidently dark, at least most of them were.

These students were system users, and their displeasure in what was taking place could not have been showcased better.

Javier's body throbbed in pain, but his resilience served as a foundation, and he grabbed Raph's hand with his bloody fingers.

"I–I won't let you". He cried out, his voice low and husky, testament to the anger that brewed deeply within him.

Raph simply stared at him, his eyes a transparent white like the moon. glowing with a malevolent hue. He could end this with a simple command, but he decided not to.

"Javier, you are years too young to even think of fighting against me, and you think you can win?" He asked, his voice harsh and cold, exuding the chilliness that forever duels in his heart.

"Alright then" Raph dropped his longsword, and raised his right fist in the air over Javier's face.

"Fight back" He said as he slammed his fist on Javier's face in a swift motion causing a gruesome cracking sound to echo in the air.

The Students were left dismayed and Lecturer Wisdom was left in fury in his spot. He could not take action here, no, not when the rules of the duel were stated by him, and he was out in the open for all to see.

If he were to stop Raph now, then he would be a suspect amongst others, and he could not draw attention to himself, at least not yet.

"Well? Fight back" Raph's voice rang in his ears as he heard the gruesome sound of flesh being crushed in his ears, causing his blood to boil even hotter.

'How…How dare he' he thought, clenching his fist to the point that blood dripped down from it. All he could do was wait for Javier to give in.

"Well?" Raph asked, his bloodied fist raised in the air for the third time.

Javier's grip began to loosen by a little, and his fiery gaze began to lose its spark.

"...You need power in this world, you know. If you want to even challenge any of the Great Family, then that should be your goal. Do you think shaming me would end your suffering? No, it will only increase it".

Raph said, his tone stern and his gaze icy. "If you want to get back at me, then make sure you're at least strong enough to get to me".

Javier felt a pain burn in his chest, an unquenchable anger that was only incited, but right now, at that moment, there was absolutely nothing he could do about it.

Releasing his grip, he gave in to his fate.

"I…I surrender".

A chilling silence suffused the air, and it was soon broken by the loud cheers from Elsie, as she jumped and clapped in joy.

While she did this, the others glanced at her, mixed emotions sweeping through them, but they at least understood one thing.

'He's not our opponent'.

It was a solemn acceptance, that there wasn't a single system user in their class that could stand up against him.

Well, until they have combat training without restrictions, but that would end…..worse.

Raph slowly stood up, his gaze shifting from Javier to Elsie, and a small chuckle escaped his lips as if curled upwards.

'She's that excited about a win? Even when she's the only one cheering….' He thought, turning away after waving at her. 'She's cute'.

"Well, I win now, right?" He asked.

Lecturer Wisdom sighed. "Yes, winner of this duel, Raffaelo Jun".

Raph nodded in satisfaction, attempting to walk down the steps when Lecturer Wisdom stopped him with a question.

"How did you do it?"

He turned around with a startled expression. "Do what?"

"How did you master it? Did you get the notes from a classmate, or were you training in secret?". Lecturer Wisdom was genuinely curious to find out. 'If what he did was truly mastering by just watching. Then this is an anomaly that we will have to watch out for'.

"Oh that?" Raph muttered, turning towards the sky, and humming quietly for a moment. After a few seconds, he glanced at Lecturer Wisdom. "I learn fast".

'Well, what could possibly go wrong if I tell them one little secret'.

With that he walked away, his smile widening in satisfaction. He had just confirmed it, but his eyes allowed him to imitate actions until it became his.

'Another trump card in the bag'.
