The Over-Break System

Behind the Armored girl, the back liners froze, and Archer B collapsed onto the ground before evacuating his bowels.

Those who soiled themselves couldn’t be blamed because, for average Academy students; they had already witnessed horrors that even many War Veterans would run away from and have nightmares for years to come. How could children be expected to be ok after seeing what they were?

For those few seconds that Cynrik crushed the girl with Susanoo’s hand, all that could be heard was the strain of metal and her bloodcurdling screams.

After some resistance, the armor caved in, and her body’s muscles expanded until, eventually, her mortal body could not take any more abuse.

With one final scream of agony, the Tank exploded into meat paste, then particles.

”Blegh, that’s pretty gross,” Cynrik stated in disgust while shaking his arm and, in turn, the skeletal one to get any particulates off it.

-You have killed a competitor from Team Romeoville.-

-Current Members on your Team: 1/7.-

-Current Members on Opposing Team: 5/7.-

’Not bad, Tobs,’ ignoring the kill notification and holding up his arm again, making Team Romeoville flinch; Cynrik examined the bones and noticed three distinct spikes on the forearms, reminding him of Batman’s gauntlets.

-Well, duh, I know you’re every aesthetic taste, Cyn; as I said, have some faith in me.-

Tobs, in her fairy form, stated while rolling her eyes before patting her chest with one hand and Cynrik’s cheek with the other.

’I will be the judge of that, but so far, so GOOD!’ Finishing his statement by raising both arms in front of his face, with his fists balled up and touching, Cynrik flexed his muscles and thrust his arms down. In doing this, he fully activated the second form of his skill, causing his Mana Construct to undergo multiple changes.

Firstly, the first layer of rib bones surrounding his head transformed into collar bones, while just below them, the second arm came into existence.

The ribs themselves expanded slightly and took on a sinister appearance, with each one flaring out and expanding, creating a sternum above Cynrik’s head where they connected. Unlike in the ribcage form, Cynrik was now entirely covered by his Mana construct.

Lastly, the vertebrae extended upward, into neck bones, before a complete skull with black flames for eyes manifested. This wasn’t your regular run-of-the-mill skull either; small jagged horns encircled the head like a crown, and its teeth were sharp like a shark.

Standing in what now appeared to be an abdomen, with an entire skeleton above him, Cynrik tilted his head to the side and smiled sadistically at Team Romeoville before his [Susanoo] broke out in blackish-blue flames.

”Hehehehehe, well, time’s up,” Cynrik said as he raised his left hand, crossed it over his body, and delivered a backhanded smack to team Romeoville, with his Skeleton puppet mimicking his every move.

Like small figurines, the backline formation was instantly destroyed and scattered about by the backhanded smack, and unfortunately, they lost another team member due to Cynrik’s follow-up attack.

Raising his arm, Cynrik balled up the skeletal fist and dropped it on top of Torso boy, splatting him like a bug on the ground before the poor guy could even scream in fear or beg for mercy.

-Current Members on Opposing Team: 4/7.-

”B…bastard…my glory…my sponsorships.” Floating off not far from Cynrik, Derrek muttered with tears and snot streaming down his face. As someone from a wealthy background, he had never been so belittled or embarrassed as he was right now.

It was one thing to lose in the Competition; even if that happened, at least he had broken a National Record again; however, Cynrik was toying with not only him but massacring his team as if they were bugs.

He could care less about his teammates. At the end of the day, Derrek only cared about the large sum of money he would receive from his showcase, especially since after monetizing all the videos from his POV last year, he was pretty famous online.

But as he sat there helpless to even move so much as his big toe, Derrek could practically see his entire life ending and ending up forced to live on the streets.

This sudden thought caused Derrek to thrash about against the tendrils holding him in place and try to move the Mana in his body for the umpteenth time.

Ignoring Derrek, Cynrik picked up the healer next and gave him the same treatment as the Armored girl, only this time, instead of smashing him into the ground, he only squeezed him until he popped.

-You have killed a competitor from Team Romeoville.-

-Current Members on your Team: 1/7.-

-Current Members on Opposing Team: 3/7.-

Shaking the goo off his skeletal hand, Cynrik turned both hands up and clutched them into claws, extending his Mana to [Susanoo’s] hands and manifesting two massive blackish-blue fireballs.

Once this was complete, he moved his hands over the two archers and dumped the fireballs onto them, instantly igniting their bodies and causing them to flail like a fish out of water.

It didn’t take long for the two to be reduced to ash, leaving only Derrek alive.

-You have killed a competitor from Team Romeoville.-

-Current Members on your Team: 1/7.-

-Current Members on Opposing Team: 1/7.-

Dusting off his hands, Cynrik deactivated his skill and exhaled as if exhausted, then turned to face Derrek, who frantically tried to free himself upon seeing the monster looking in his direction.

”Sigh, you know what is sad, Derrek Boy? This was entirely avoidable. Had you not pissed me off, I would never have been so brutal, but NOOOOoo, you just had to be a fucking douchebag.” Sucking in his cheek, Cynrik shook his head and walked over to Derrek.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the helpless Romeoville Captain was positioned upright in a ”T” posture facing Cynrik.

”All you had to do was not be an overconfident prick, and I would have allowed my rangers to beat your asses in the Accuracy event. Fortunately, you gave me a proper reason to unleash…my ugly side.”

Walking up, Cynrik smacked Derrek across the face so hard that several of the young man’s teeth flew out of his mouth with a glob of blood.

”ALL RISE, JUDGE HONORABLE CYNRIK JETLENSR HAS ENTERED THE COURTROOM.” Spinning around and allowing his clones to come out of hiding, Cynrik clasped his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in front of the two shadowy versions of himself.

”The court will now hear the defense testimony.” Stopping in front of Clone 2, Cynrik leaned forward and made the clone pantomime as if it were trying to defend Derrek.

”Hmm, uhhuh, I see, hm, interesting. Understood. The defense rests,” patting clone two on the shoulder; Cynrik then walked over to Clone one.

”And now the prosecution will plead its case for the court.” Like with clone two, Clone one began acting out animatedly, as if telling a story. Instead of being defensive, it aggressively kept pointing at Derrek and alternating between clone two and the Romeoville Captain.

”Pfff, damn, I gotta say, this guy really can spin a tale.” Spinning around and pointing at clone one with his thumb, Cynrik shook his head in astonishment.

”Crazy, you’re fucking crazy!” Unable to continue watching the one-man show, Derrek screamed with a wild look in his eyes and blood dripping down his chin.

However, he was silenced because the moment the aggressive words left his lips, Cynrik slashed out with his hand, creating a whip of fire mana, and slashed Derrek across the chest, causing the young man to freak out.

”Shhh, can’t you see the court is in session?” Scattering the fire particles, Cynrik brought his index finger to his lips and basically told Derrek to shut the fuck up.
