The Goddess Made A Mistake Again

Avis, the examiner's eyes widened as he murmured, "A noble."

Then quickly his eyes went back to their normal, snake like slit eyes as he snarked, "A distinguished one you say… then why would someone as distinguished as you would need to participate in this event?"

"Well, not every noble has a stepmother that hates the son guts now, does it?" The smile from my face didn't remove as I said to the other contestant without looking at him, "Leave now."

"Al- Alright." The guy taking the chance, stumbled as he got up and ran like crazy, completely forgetting about me.

Seeing the strange yet dangerous atmosphere, the other examiner too came close to us. But Avis stopped him with a lowered hand sign, indicating to wait.

The guy looked at me and gave a smirk, "What now, are you going to kill me?"

"Kill you? Are you crazy, why would I do that?"

"Hmm? You serious? Then why did you stop me!" Avis asked angrily.

"Isn't there a rule that says the examiner can't kill a contestant if he willingly gave up… I was just doing my duty as a noble guy." I say innocently as the guy laughed.

"Haaa… I like you, kid. What's your name?"

"Isn't it polite to tell your own name before asking someone else's?"

"Still cocky huh? It's Avis, now would your majesty grant us his name?" Avis snarkily said to me.

"It's Henry Van Tax."

'Van Tax?... where did I hear that name again?' Avis thought secretly.

"So do you want to fight or… will you run away like that previous guy too?" Avis said and gave a look at the other examiner who pulled out a list.

The examiner searched before saying, "Number 3465, Henry Van Tax. His father, currently deceased, Agrave Van Tax. Unfortunately, without any will written by him, all the property went to the new wife."

"Agrave Van Tax…" Recalling the name, Avis's eyes widened greatly, "You're that motherfucker's son... Damn! You really are royalty."

"You knew my father?" I felt conflicted that a lizard like him might have some connection with the baldy.

Avis nodded, "Yeah, Kid. Not personally but everybody in this kingdom with even half a brain would know about Agrave Van Tax. That guy was the greediest bald fucker in the whole kingdom… no, maybe the whole world."

Instead of getting an angry expression out of me, I simply nodded, "Yeah, that's him of course. I suppose then you wouldn't be stupid enough to stop me here, right?"

"Stop you?" He asked, confused, "I'm gonna fucking murder you, brat! Do you know how much bounty you have on your head?"

"I have a bounty!" I asked, clearly shocked.

"Yeah, do you know how much? Let me give you a hint, it starts with one and ends with four zeros."

"Ten thousand pounds?" Hearing the amount, I look down at the desert with a dark look.

Finally seeing a pained expression on me, the guy laughed.

"Hahaha… so now that you know how much your head is worth… beg me and who knows, I might even let you go."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Huh"

I lift my head slowly as Avis saw the angered look on my face, "Only ten thousand pounds! Those fuckers had the audacity to value me with such a low amount!"

"DAMN THEM!" I screamed out above, my voice quaking the surroundings. Any birds or monsters that were roaming around the area, quickly ran from the place as they heard me scream.

Even Avis and the examiner looked at me in fear and took a step back unconsciously.

"Damn those fuckers! To ridicule me like this, I'm gonna fucking kill them!" I cursed and thrashed around for a bit before I looked at the two examiner.

Seeing me looking at them, they quickly felt their body shake in fear as I called out, "You!"

Avis shakily pointed at himself, "me?"

"Yes, you're the one I'm supposed to fight, right?"

"We- Well… traditionally after a fight, the examiner is supposed to change with another on-" Avis couldn't finish as the other examiner interrupted.

"Yes, he's the one! I'm purely here to evaluate."

Avis looked at the guy in anger and wanted to curse out but before he could do that, he felt something hit his head as he flew away and landed a few feet away from where he was.

Thap!

Thap!

He rolled and flew up for a second time before his body stopped in a roll.

"Ahh… fuuuuck meee!" Avis felt that his jaw might have broken at the punch. Touching it slightly, he knew that it was dislocated. Then carefully he held his jaw and with a crack rejoined it back.

"Crack!"

"Fuck that hurt!"

Avis looked at me like I was crazy, "Why did you hit me, the fight hadn't even started yet! That's a fault."

Hearing him, I turned to the other guy, who immediately shook his head.

"The fights as good as okay for me."

Seeing that his underling had already chosen to follow whatever I wanted and him positioned in a place where fighting was inevitable for him, Avis sighed.

"Shit!... why do I always have to get fucked like this?"

Shaking his head, Avis got up. Then he patted his clothes off the sand before taking hold of his sword and positioning himself in a sword stance.

"Since I can't run away unscathed, I'll be damned if I let you go unhurt."

I licked my lips, feeling the passion for a beating burning in my chest, "Since you chose to willingly do this, I'll do you a favor and not use my sword at this fight."

"Willingly?... well at least, your kind enough to not use your sword so I'll give you that one."

With that, the other examiner knew that the fight was about to start so he backed away immediately, letting us have enough space.

Without any word or sound, Avis ran towards me. His movement quick and within a few seconds he was already in front of me, trying to end this with a stab at my belly.

But I too was fast, much faster than him as I stepped aside and punched at his hand. The sword immediately flying away as the bones on his hand broke.

"Ahhh! At least be a little gentl-"

Before he could finish his words, my clenched fists fell on his head like a hammer. Immediately stopping all of his motor functions. His eyes went back in his head, his body losing connection as if all the strings were cut off and he fell on his knees.

"Well… is that it then? Weren't you going to kill me and take my bounty?" My words fell on deaf ears as Avis was already on dreamland.

The other examiner lifted his hand and was about to announce my victory but I stopped him. I lifted my index finger and shook it.

"He hasn't given up yet, so don't call it."

"But he's out cold-"

"What did I say!"

The examiner shut up immediately. Then satisfying my sadistic self, I began to beat him.

I punched his face, chest, arms, legs anything that seemed to bring a painful expression on him.

"So you like giving pain to others huh"

"Bam!"

"I like it too, but do you know what's different about us?"

"Bam!"

"I can take a punch while you can't!

"Bam!"

"Now let's see how much pain you can handle before you give up!"

I lift up my bloody hand and go for a punch but a voice stops me.

"Enough!"
