A Destained Young Master Villain



"Young master, it seems you have improved again."

"Of course, who do you think I am? Aren't I the most talented in the younger generation? How am I not supposed to improve?" Zen, the master of rhetorical questions, strikes again.

Marie and Bundoc shared a subtle chuckle at his narcissistic comment. Both were currently sparring with Zen, providing him assistance in his training sessions at the practice field situated behind his villa.

Abruptly, the faint sound of gentle steps can be heard heading in their direction, which interrupted their conversation.

Looking in the direction of the footsteps, once they came into sight, Fiona and Xue's figure appeared. "Fiona and Xue, what are you two doing here?" Zen asked.

To which she responded, "Celestia and Daphne have already gone back; it is boring inside the villa."

"So? What do you plan to do here?"

"Can we spar? Now that I think about it, we've never fought against each other before. I wanted to see how large the gap was between us."

Hearing this, Zen's interest was piqued, as he also wanted to test out his step sister's strength. "Hmm, I guess we could do that, but on one condition, you and Xue join together."

"Huh, why? I told you I wan–" Fiona was about to say something, but she was interrupted by Zen. "Hurry up and both of you start getting ready, if you don't want to then just forget it."

'What is wrong with this guy? In the past, I might have been defeated instantly, but I have trained in the gravitational room, and my experience at the Twilight Zone, So annoying!' she thought as she started getting ready.

"Xue, try to follow my movements and attack him simultaneously without letting him have any time to counterattack." Fiona whispered to Xue, explaining her plan.

"Ok, got it," Xue acknowledged with a nod, signifying her agreement.

Fiona and Xue went to the opposite side of the field from Zen's position.

Bundoc, Marie, and some guards that were at the practice area, moved to the sidelines to watch the battle between them.

"Are you two ready?" Zen asked, but both of them suddenly rushed forward to attack him. Seeing this, Zen chuckled, "You both are in a hurry to get your asses beat, huh." He took out a regular sword, not intending to use his Tiered A Katana as this was just a spar.

"Hmph, I know someone who said the same thing as you, Zen; he ended up getting crushed by me." Fiona countered.

"Hoh aight."

Fiona and Xue launched magic projectiles at Zen first to test the waters, but Zen effortlessly dodged all of them.

Xue activated her mana to enhance her physical capabilities and ran towards Zen, which Fiona also did the same.

She manifested an Ice crystal under Zen's feet, intending to launch him into the air.

They planned to finish the match fast, so she tried to launch him in the air so he would not be able to dodge any of their attacks.

But just as the Ice Crystal appeared, Zen vanished from his spot. Xue stopped momentarily, feeling confused about where he had gone.

Zen appeared behind her back and tried to karate chop her neck, which was what he did to Fiona back then.

Sensing this, Xue directed her mana towards her neck, intending to create a barrier that could withstand his attack. Zen's hand met her neck, which then made her fall to the ground. Although she did not faint, she still suffered some damage.

Fiona saw this and activated her Mystic Field to slow him down because Zen was so fast she couldn't even see his movement.

Of course he was fast; his entire body was enhanced with both mana and aura. He was also an Advanced Magic Swordsman at that.

"Wow, it seems your skill has undergone some upgrade, Fiona," Zen said, sensing that his speed was slightly restricted. "Hmph, I have been training hard." while she rushed to Zen, enhancing her physique and also using her mana.

She launched some ice crystals to block his vision. Once she reached Zen, she sent a forward kick with all her mana focused on her foot.

Zen likewise directed his attention to concentrating his aura and mana on his hand. With remarkable speed, he swiftly sidestepped to evade her kick, swiftly grabbed her foot, and sent her flying.

Fiona manifested a large Ice crystal to where she was sent behind her and used it as a foothold. She then jumped out of the Ice crystal, but this time the amount of force she exerted from her foot disintegrated the Ice Crystal she formed behind her.

All the people currently present at the practice field cheered as they watched the intense battle.

"Damn." Zen was just as surprised as Noah back then at how she uses her skills uniquely. Zen finally used one of his skills, the Defiant Sword, and launched a slash at her.

He minimized the force of his slash to a certain extent because this was just a spar; there was no need for the other party to get injured.

The speed at which Zen launched the sword slash was so fast that it created an illusion, there were at least five slashes sent. If you look closely, one could see that every move was sent only when the previous one ended.

Fiona could not react fast enough and was sent flying. Both Xue and Fiona could not continue fighting any longer, so the fight was concluded.

"Not bad, you too," Zen stated, complimenting them both while approaching them as they stood up from the ground.

"Zen, what kind of training do you do, why are you so strong? Like it doesn't make sense." Fiona said.

Zen then responded with a smile on his face, "I train very, very hard every single day, Fiona, to the point that my body aches every night."

Upon hearing this, Bundoc and Marie couldn't restrain themselves from sighing, and Xue who had been with Zen for a solid two months, had never witnessed him engage in any kind of intense training. It was like watching a sloth trying to break the world record for the slowest marathon.

Once everything had been settled at the practice area, everyone dispersed. Zen went back to his room and had some schemes in mind.
