Chapter 205: Masochist?
“Did I see that right? Did this Eren guy also have the Beast Contract Spell from the beginning?”
The match was over. But the audience’s discussion about what they had seen was not. One stunned guy asked his buddy standing nearby. The other guy was equally shocked by what he had just seen.
“I didn’t even know such a spell existed before. Why would that black hair guy take the beating from Ivor if he was so OP?”
The other guy couldn’t help asking. A third guy pitched in to comment.
“That Eren guy’s ranking matches always turn out to be like the one we just saw. He gets his ass handed to him by his opponents before he barely manages to score a win.”
This guy had seen more of Eren’s experiments-centric matches. The first guy who had heard this had a face that said he had some sort of realization:
“Oh! So he is a masochist.”
“Hey watch youw tongue, big guy! Who aawe you calling a masochist? Ewen just likes to twy new spell combos in his matches. He’ll beat evewyone’s asses withoeveryone’s a sweat if he decides to play sewiously. You undewstand that?”
A certain auxiliary member of White Raven Crew decided to put his shadow leader’s case forward. The three guys looked at each other confusingly. Then they tried to recall what the guy had just said to them. They could barely decode what he had just said to them in their minds.
“My man, don’t eat your meals when it is piping hot. Look what it has done to you.”
The second guy said this to Ramy with a straight face. It seemed he really believed Ramy’s lisp was due to him eating his food eagerly while it was hot.
“Fu*ck you! This is how I’ve always talked. You awe here to pick a bone with White Waven Cwew, awen’t you? So be it. Let’s have a wanking match tomorrow. I’ll be suwe to bust youw balls at that time.”
Ramy felt angry. Not because he was called out for his lisp, not really. But he had to punish them for their comment on his idol anyway. Thankfully, Ana and Bel come to do the damage control:
“*Sigh. Ramy, how many times have we told you not to argue with random people? How will you silence the entire audience who has watched Eren’s matches till now? Let things slide sometimes.
Hi there, fellow students. Forgive our teammate’s rude remark. But yes, if you want to fight with us, it can be arranged. What will it be?”
Ana was smiling. And she looked cheerful while she highlighted Ramy’s challenge too. But the trio could not find that smile to be comforting. Then it realized White Raven Crew’s performance in the ranking match that took place just now.
Nobody sane would want to invest their Merps on a losing bet. So one of the guys quickly came forward to deny the challenge. And the matter was sorted there.
Ana was right, though. The entire crowd was abuzz with the performance that Ivor and Eren had shown just now while using the Beast Contract Spell. But then Eren had to just go ahead and call it quits right when things were beginning to get interesting.
That had turned the audience’s mood sour. And they vented their anger by trashing Eren for his weird fighting choices and cowardice. So Ana had to watch over Ramy, lest he runs his mouth off to every random student who makes any uncalled-for comment on Eren.

“Renita… Renita… wake up!”
Eren was feeling tired as well when he was trying to wake his team’s ranger up. Jason had made her overdraw on her mana, making her extremely exhausted. It resulted in her fainting as soon as her body couldn’t take it anymore.
“Ummmmmm! Eren, is that… you? You can’t stay a moment away from me… can you? Hehe!”
After drinking some recovery potions and Eren’s multiple attempts to try to wake her up, Renita finally showed signs of gaining consciousness. But apparently, it was a slow process.
Eren smiled mirthlessly after he heard Renita’s remark. He didn’t try to correct her or get along with her dream-driven assumption. He just tried to wake her up for good.
“Why don’t you stand up before I answer that. Renita, in case you’ve forgotten, we are still in the middle of the battle ring.”
Eren had Renita’s head on his lap. The caretaker had just handed him the vial of recovery potion and began to treat the other students who needed care. So the butcher had to take Renita’s head rested on his lap before he administered the potion.
Renita processed what was being said to her slowly. Then she looked around. Then she realized she was resting on Eren’s lap. Her cheeks turned red and her face showed unmasked awkwardness along with a slight bit of panic.
Renita tried to get up from her position so fast that her forehead was hit hard against Eren’s chin. The guy who wanted to simply wake his team member up had come very close to losing the tip of his tongue with that act.
“Aaaaah! Sor… sorry Eren. My bad. And the… thanks for treating me. I… I am good now.”
Eren caressed his chin that had just been assaulted by Renita’s forehead. He looked at Renita and casually replied after he sighed a bit:
“All is fine if you are fine. Never mind that. Did you think about what I had said earlier regarding your spell?
I prioritized waking you up because I’ll soon meet with Adept Marla and Ace Almera after this. If you agree to my suggestion, we must inform your trainer by today so that she can get her schedule sorted.”
Eren said while looking at Renita with an expectant gaze. He had decided to invest his newfound wealth into his teammates so that they can give him better returns in the long run. The suggestion that he had given to Renita was only a part of it.
=================
AN: Hi. So it’ll be a while before this chapter is seen by everyone since my price tiers still need to be built up. But it’s fine since we will still have time to achieve our goals when this chapter comes out.
The highest tier buyout VEH is going to have this month will be a Lil expensive because it won’t have any discounts. So I won’t force anyone to buy it. It would help me and the novel a lot if you did. But I’d understand if you just settle for the B-Rank tier or lower. This month, you’ll have to put up with it to support the novel. We will bring down the prices from next month.
VEH missed 5K unlocks in its first month by approximately 1K unlocks. But I think we can make that goal happen this month. We will then get to enjoy rebates on privilege chapter unlocks and discounts on tier buyouts when that happens.
Apart from rebates on chapter unlocks and tier buyouts, VEH will also have a mass release event one week after we hit the 5K goal. So a week after we reach the goal of 5K unlocks in win-win, VEH will have a 5-chapter mass release event. And we will have a 10-chapter mass release event a week if and when we reach the 10k unlocks goal.
Furthermore, VEH will have the highest tier buyout set to no more than 1000 coins if we reach the 10K milestone. The prices of the lower tiers will decrease too when that happens. So that’s something to look forward to. Thanks for all the support till now and keep it coming. 😉
