Thirty minutes earlier, after the break, when the spectators were supposed to return to the arena to watch the next match of the day, some people entered the arena along with the crowd, though they didn''t sit together.

    Instead, they took seats separately.As one of them was about to sit, he accidentally stepped on someone.

    "Hey! Watch it, will you?"The man turned around and frowned. This made the other man, the one who had been stepped on, grow angry.

    "What? Why are you frowning at me? You stepped on me, and now you''re giving me attitude?"

    The man said nothing, just turned away, about to leave, when the other man grabbed his shoulder to stop him.

    "Where do you think you''re going? You stepped on me and didn''t even bother to apologize! Are you crazy?"The man turned around to look at who was holding his shoulder.

    "Get your hands off me," he scowled.

    "Or what?" the man said, still gripping his shoulder.

    Their argument drew the attention of a few people nearby.

    "Hey, man! C''mon, apologize," someone from the crowd called out.

    The man was about to snap back at him when he looked up and noticed someone from the crowd shaking his head. He calmed down and turned back to the man he''d stepped on.

    "I''m sorry," the man muttered as he turned to sit down

    "Hey! Say it like you mean it!" the other man shouted, reaching to grab him again, but someone stopped him.

    "C''mon, he already apologized. Let it go," the bystander said, holding his arm in a firm grip.The man struggled to free himself but eventually gave up.

    The werewolf pulled its stump for a hand back in surprise but he couldn''t be surprised for long because Vynn was already upon him with a stab to its head, the werewolf leaned backwards avoiding it.

    But it couldn''t avoid Jack''s sword strike from behind that managed to cut deep into its hide therefore drawing blood. The werewolf quickly turned around to deal with Jack by kicking him hard sending him flying with full force.

    Vynn seeing this, quickly made a stab towards the werewolf''s head again but the werewolf turned around to stop the spear strike heading towards its head by holding onto the tip of the spear.

    Vynn was struggling to pull the spear from the werewolf''s grip that was when a sword strike cut the werewolf''s hand that was holding onto the spear cleanly.

    Looking up, Vynn could see who had saved him and it was Alex, the rank 1 among the third years, the strongest student in the academy.

    "Thank you." Vynn said as he was panting from the exhaustion with his hands on his knees.

    Alex looked at Vynn up and down. "You are still injured and your wounds have reopened. You need medical help ASAP."

    "Don''t worry," Vynn said propping himself up with his spear. "I will be fine."

    The werewolf was now visibly furious as it dashed towards Alex and Vynn but Alex was quick to act.

    With a slash from above, the werewolf jumped back avoiding it but it couldn''t avoid the spear stab coming from Vynn towards its rib.

    The spear managed to lunge in deep as Vynn twisted it then he activated the spear''s active skill.

    "Activate Fire surge!" Vynn called out and immediately, his spear lit up inside of the werewolf and then the werewolf was feeling hot from inside. The werewolf tried to move back to get the spear off its insides since it doesn''t have any hands.

    Alex seeing this, quickly moved behind the werewolf by using ''The Triple Threat'' technique and then he kicked the werewolf from behind towards the spear and the spear was lunged In deep allowing the active skill to do its work therefore burning the werewolf from the inside out.

    Then Alex jumped up and slashed at the werewolf''s neck, slicing the werewolf''s head clean off. When the werewolf dropped down, so did Vynn because the fight took a lot out of him and his wounds was now reopened again.

    ''I just hope the others are okay.'' Vynn thought.
