Chapter 242: Chapter 242 Reveal.
As soon as Soma uttered those words, the room turned tense suddenly as Mark and his girls knit their brows in anger at the insult that Soma had thrown at an unknown name.
Soma internally pumped his fist upward as he saw the reaction from the three, to think that with just slight provocation, these three could react explosively. "Now for the finale".
"I heard that brain rot had too much training, focusing on bulking his body so that his brain also turned into muscle, rendering him to think like a human…".
"Junior, please stop!".
"...Last time, I heard he even had difficulty talking properly and can only squeak like a pig".
"Enough!".
Shockingly, the one who snapped was not only Mark but also Lucy, who couldn't hear any more of the dirty words that leaked from Soma's mouth.
"Junior, what was the purpose of you being here? If you are here just to hurl that insult, please leave. We have something to discuss here".
Mark, whose aura had changed, stood straight from his seat with his two girls behind, ready to rip part of Soma's throat. Lucy from Soma's other side, also with knitting brows, looked at Soma in fury as the earlier conduct still stuck inside her mind.
Despite standing in the middle of the chaotic scene, Soma threw all his emotion and walked toward Mark's place slowly while radiating a crimson aura that clad his skin, making the people behind him tense, especially Hina and Xiao Lian.
Mark and his two girls' bodies slightly twitch, feeling a dread from Soma's leaking a menacing aura. But soon, they recovered and managed to hear a name they were familiar with.
"...Leon pendragon!".
"?!".
Three people reacted differently to the name that Soma shouted. Mark, who stood on an edge, began to leak a bit of his murderous intent that directed it toward Soma only. The two girls behind him also began to hurl their murderous intent at Soma.
But, surprisingly, Soma managed to keep calm and walked forward as he stood in front of Mark, gazing at his blue pupils. The girls intended to rush to Soma's side to get rid of him from Mark's face, but they were a bit too late.
"Let's stop the chit-chat, shall we".
Soma, who saw the silver necklace before him with his swift hand, tore it from Mark's neck, which made Mark's body tremble in anger. He unleashed a straight punch on Soma's face.
With his unguarded state, Soma, who saw the incoming fist was already in front of his eyes, could only grit his jaw and weaken the impact that his body would receive by launching his feet in the air. Then he got blown away into the wall behind.
"Soma?!".
"...".
Hina and Xiao Lian summoned their respective weapon and glared at Mark, whose appearance had undergone a change, which made everyone in the room who witnessed it stiffen like a statue.
"Mark that appearance of yours?".
Seeing the Change, Lucy gasped, covering her opened jaw after seeing Mark's appearance that turned into something horrendous with red skin, a pair of horns that sprouted from his forehead, and a pair of black bat wings behind his back jolted her consciousness away.
On the other was Serafina, who stiffened in her seat; the colour of her face changed; it gradually turned paler before it changed, flushed with hatred, and even her pupils turned Red.
"Mark, this is bad!".
"Mark, are you okay? How dare that greedy boy".
Mark, who was in the middle of this chaos, looked toward his raised hands and saw his skin reddened, and he felt free from the shackles that bound him. He cast his gaze to his surroundings and saw Lucy in a shocked state, Serafina furious, and the two unknown girls readied their weapons the moment his appearance changed.
He gripped his fist and felt the strength he had been hidden for years had unleashed fully. Mark chuckled to himself. "Well, I plan to drop out of this Academy soon after I finish what I have come here for anyway, but…".
Soma calmly walked away from the wall that got blasted away with its raised dust and showed his calm face. His lips parted away, seeing Mark's transformation, which made Mark knit his brows in annoyance.
While under the glare from Mark, Soma stopped in his tracks and watched the figure of Mark and his two girls behind. He sighed, as he was hoping for some change in Mark's fate by the author.
Soma knew that despite receiving demon power, Mark had never killed a person before. Mark came to the academy at this time and was ordered by his superior to do his first killing mission. The mission was to kill Leon, the chosen saviour, but alas, this was truly a pity.
With a twisted story that unfolds because of Soma's interference, Leon is still on Okinawa and decides to go home with the others, whereas Soma decides to go first because he had to deal with this.
"I'm sorry, Mark. But you have to die here!".

The air around the room shook, trembling in fear upon witnessing the might that Soma had unleashed in a single motion of breath.
"?!".
Mark, who marvelled at Soma's, suddenly his vision shifted as his body received a heavy blow that came from his abdomen, sending a rush of searing pain that jolted his brain away. Mark realised that he was blasted away from the room and stood outside the academy's surroundings.
"Mark!".
"How dare he!".
Realising their partner got blasted outside, the two girls began to chase after him. They came out from the gaping hole from Soma' earlier attack.
"Silver hair!".
"Mm".
Hina and Xiao Lian began to chase after them, leaving only Lucy, who was still dumbfounded about the situation cause this was her first time seeing a demon in the flesh standing before her, but also more astonishing beside them was the appearance and the aura Soma leaked from his body was so terrifying that made her whole being tremble in fright.
"What was that?".
Lucy flapped toward the sofa, which was continued by Serafina, who stood up while casting her gaze down. Lucy saw her best friend in a weird state, and Serafina clenched both fists while holding onto something.
"Sera?".
"I'm sorry, Lucy. I have something to do outside".
"Sera, what are you?".
Serafina's body began to clad in thin green light, her hair and uniform swayed by the surrounding air around them that began to gather around her body, forming a protective barrier, protecting her like a cage. Her feet left the floor as it slid outside toward the gaping hole.
Lucy, who got left behind, could only swallow her breath, and she could hear multiple footsteps approaching the room.
"President, are you alright?".
"President, What is with this hole?".
Some of the student council members approached Lucy's side, making sure that she was alright.
"Everyone, I'm fine. More importantly, let's go outside!".
Lucy put on her brave front stand up despite her limbs still losing some of their strength from the earlier event. However, as a president and saint who was destined to fight along with the saviour in banishing evil, She must see the truth; she must see the severe battle that will happen when dealing with Demon, for that was her duty.
All of a sudden, the floor beneath her trembled, which almost made her stance crumble, but unconsciously, she stood firm on the ground with determined eyes and clenched fist; she rose toward her battle against humanity's foe for the first time in her life.
