Hell's Academy

Ten minutes later,

Howard and Evil Howard rushed towards each other.

One of them seemed to be going 5000 kilometers an hour in the dark environment, and the other one seemed to be going barely 2000 kilometers an hour. However, when the two of them clashed, for the first time, Evil Howard's body trembled.

Howard had performed a simple but effective trick. He used a feint attack with his left hand and then attacked with his right! It was simple, but all Evil Howard seemed to do is attack with brute force!

Bang!

Evil Howard shot into the air before two Swords of the Fire Legionnaire appeared behind him and slashed into his back. Though they broke instantly, two small cuts appeared on Evil Howard's body. What a pain! He-he kept trying these petty tricks that had no chance of killing him!

"Hahaha! What a fool," Evil Howard's hand flashed before two dozen spears shot towards Howard. Activating Fire King's Embrace, a dozen silhouettes were instantly shattered before Howard activated his Dream Ki and shot in twelve directions. "What are we playing hide and seek?"

"No, he's doing exactly what Aremcolith would do!" Yindred screamed, "Finding your weakness!"

"Shut up! Dream Wench!" Evil Howard held out his finger before three spears shot in one direction.

Bang!

One rushing Howard's foot burst with blood before he crashed onto the floor. The eleven other Dream Ki copies of him dissipated. Yet at the same time a smile appeared on his face. He pulled out the spear and wobbled forward while Evil Howard above him laughed.

"The only trap I fell for was taking my time with you," Evil Howard grinned widely. "You want to see how Dark Oblision is supposed to be used?! Take a look at this!"

A massive silver flame appeared above Evil Howard before it tripled in size. Suddenly, it looked like a large silver sun was in the sky. The horizon disappeared while Evil Howard smiled widely. "You-you're so pathetic! You think planning can work against complete and total power! Who gave you that idea? Was it that little wench Monica? Hahaha, did all your little girlfriends get to you?! Have you forgotten what Vicky and everyone did to you? Have you forgotten pain?!"

"I forgot to tell you to look behind you," Howard pointed in the air before a small sword pierced into the back of Evil Howard's neck. "You-you ever heard of a diversion?"

Slash!

Three small fire legionnaire blades cut into Evil Howard's neck before he watched his head slowly fall to the ground. He almost couldn't believe it. Defeated by a weakling.

"Why? Why don't you want to get revenge," Evil Howard muttered while Howard walked over to him. "Why? Why not go back to the surface and tear it to shreds?"

"Because… Revenge is best served cold," Howard smiled before a slight silver shimmer appeared around his body. "Now get the hell out of my body, jerk! I never want to see you again!"

Howard woke up in the center of the desert, and instantly felt a massive power surging inside of him.

The Silver Ki Heart finally seemed calm, and appeased. Standing up, he created a small silver flame before his body started to tremble. It wasn't quite what he expected, but at least his power had almost returned to normal.

Unfortunately, 'Evil' Howard had been much better at using the Silver Ki Heart that he could use it himself. It seemed one had to completely give into madness to access the silver flame. It sort of explained why it only was able to be used against Oclen and Nellon when he was nearly dead. Being almost dead drove him to madness, and as such he gained control of the flame!

Yet still, feeling into his body, he could tell something had been fixed. When he tried to summon his Ki, unlike before, his 60 Ki Hearts beat in synchrony. He no longer had to worry about being held back! He could finally get back to training.

"I-I'm glad you're back to normal," Yindred's voice appeared in Howard's awareness. "However, now that you're free, would you mind if I turned into a Dream Enchantress now. You'll still be able to use Dream Ki, but if that monster takes over again, I won't be able to stop it."

"I-I owe you a lot Yindred." Howard nodded his head with a smile. "However, don't worry, that 'monster' you saw was just all the rage I had left over from being in prison with Vicky. Once I get a chance for revenge, I'll definitely tear her to pieces. However, for now, I think it's best to plan. I don't ever want to be that foolish jerk again! Having so much power that I can't even control myself!"

Howard really did see some benefits to the way Evil Howard fought, but made a ton of mistakes. When he used a feint to attack him, it was almost like he looked at such a play with contempt. Yet it had been because of that feint, that the tides of the battle changed. contemporary romance

However, Howard now realized 100 percent that fighting Armecolith would be an almost impossible battle. Aremcolith was shrewd, and probably had thousands, if not millions of strategies he'd come up with over the years. He had to hit him when he least expected it, and crush him in an instant!

"Yindred, you can start your transformation now. I'm going to go back to training. I have a lot to do in the next 77 days."

"Good, I'm glad you won, kid," Yindred smiled before a large surge of energy began to gather around her body. She instantly seemed to get not only younger, but her features became so beautiful if Howard saw her in his dreams he might never wake. "Defeat Armecolith for me. I know you got this!"

A few days later,

Howard finally arrived back at Jarlon Valley.

He'd decided to train some by himself before he returned to Harkel. With 60 Ki Hearts now in his control, he could do things he could never imagine before. His maximum speed had soared to over 3500 kilometers an hour, and all his attacks had increased in strength manifold!

He also could now use the Silver Flame in some of his attacks! His destructive force had increased by at least 100 times!

"Howard has finally returned," Harkel laughed and clapped his hands. "Little brat? You ready for the next phase of your training. It's you and Oclen versus me for the next 70 days. You're both like unpolished jades! By the end of it, I want to be staring at the finest carvings I've ever seen in my life."

"I'm ready," Howard smiled, "However, first I need to do something with Jenny. Can I have two days with her in the cave? Afterwards, I'll have all my ducks in a row."

"You get 12 hours with her, however, that's it!" Harkel smiled and pointed over at Jenny, sprinting through an obstacle course just a few meters away. "The rest of your life is waiting ahead of you! However, you're just fifteen, right? Go have fun, kid."
