"What do you…" Snivy's words stopped. She became a statue. Everyone in the surroundings became a statue. The whole Arcana world became still and then the entire solar system stopped moving.
Everything moved back in time as the present was slowly erased. Not for long, it was just half a minute where Snivy dismissed the Hammer and started walking slowly.
Azzy found himself in the sky with an hourglass in his hand. He quickly dismissed it as soon as the time continued to move. Luckily, no one witnessed it and his secret is safe.
Meanwhile, Snivy was speaking, "You know, I used to be a lieutenant-ranked officer of WAMO's General forces. There, I learned that there are two types of…"
Looking at her, Azzy mumbled, "sorry but the fun time is over."
He quickly landed on the ground and summoned his storage card, taking out a skill card.
Snivy halted her footsteps upon seeing that. She stopped her speaking and became alert.
Azzy didn't care about it and activated the 7-star skill card. A purple skull was formed a few centimeters above his hand.
"He he hehe hehehehe he he heh…"
The peal of creepy laughter resounded all over the stadium, quickly striking fear in the hearts of students and a few teachers alike.
"Ms. Snivy, I know that you think I'm a rule maker and probably already decided that I'm some sort of evil based on my few actions," Azzy said to Snivy who was conjuring an energy shield using her soul energy.
"I…"
As a look of surprise appeared on Snivy's face, Azzy continued, "However, I don't care. I act how I think it is necessary to deal with the situation. Whether you accept my methods or not is entirely up to your choice."
He threw the laughing skull of darkness at his friend.
The purple skull flew toward her and collided with the shield.
However, the shield couldn't block it and was destroyed like glass. "Hehehehe hehe hehe hehe"
Continuing to laugh creepily, the purple skeleton made its way to strike her in the chest, almost instantly.
"Argh…"
Snivy let out a painful scream as she flew into the air and crash onto the ground about a dozen meters away. She went unconscious with a single attack.
In the spot where it was struck, there was a black patch on the outside while her system was slowly corrupted.
Azzy then rushed forward and reached her within a second and crouched down. He raised his hand.
"What are you doing?" Aaron spoke loudly as he descended onto the ground. The vice principal of the academy couldn't see the faces because of the blindfold but he could see auras through his mystic eyes.
As far as he can see, Azzy's hand was just a few inches above Snivy's chest.
While he was sure that this new teacher wouldn't do such dirty things when everyone is watching and probably wanted to do something about that black patch that appeared in the middle of her chest, he couldn't let a man touch an unconscious woman's chest. It was still inappropriate.
However, Azzy has no plans on touching her either. Instead of replying to Aaron, he simply closed his eyes and extracted all the death energy from her.
Once her state became normal, he got up onto his feet and started walking toward the exit without answering Aaron's question or waiting for his verdict.
Meanwhile, the battle has brought quite an amount of reactions from various people.
Class 10-B students went into cheers;
Class 10-A-students (except for a few) were unhappy;
The rest of the male students were terrified while a lot of female students became his admirer;
The teachers were alarmed while a couple of them developed their interest;
The vice principal was shocked and stared at Azzy's back warily;
The principal had mixed feelings as his permanent teacher got defeated while a temporary teacher had won with ease but this also means he is the perfect person to protect the students;
Flora was in deep thought, wondering where she had seen the purple skull;
Symonds became dejected while Shaun was excited to win his bet.
As for Azzy, he was feeling a bit guilty for turning back the time to keep his job but since his priorities were clear, he managed to convince himself that he did the right thing.
Little did he expect that his small act of selfishness is going to bring huge trouble to him and put the life of his students in danger.

Just before the 28 seconds' rewind of the time;
Central City, Arcana world;
A clean-shaven old man was dealing with a customer in his store.
"No bargaining. I won't reduce a single credit. You have to pay 33,000 credits."
"But, mister. That other store is selling for 1000 each and still giving a 10% percent discount if I buy in bulk."
The latter wanted to buy a bunch of solar cards, which do nothing but illuminate the place temporarily.
A 4-star one will be able to light up 100 sq. meters for a whole day and the customer wanted 30 of them. They were arguing because of the price issue and discount.
In the end, after everything went according to the customer's way, the customer gave him the prepaid card.
And just as the old man was about to scan it, the time-reversed to when the debate was still going on.
"C'mon. It is not the first time I'm purchasing…"
The old man suddenly broke into laughter. "Hahahaha"
The customer was startled and stop the argument.
The old man then threw the pack full of cards. "Take it for free. Today is a good day for me… Hahahaha"
"Why has this old suddenly turned crazy?" The customer was taken aback by the actions of the seller. As he was wondering what was going on, the old man kicked him out of the store and closed down the shutter, and started laughing once again.
"The time rewind… It is him. Finally… finally… finally…" The old man clenched his fist as he spoke to himself, "How long has it been? Thirty years of vengeance is about to be fulfilled."
Soon, he turned into a wolf with red glowing eyes and mumbled, "My daughter, this mighty Fenrir will not miss this opportunity to serve you justice no matter what."
