Rewriting Fate with My Apex War Goddess (by Ezekiel Valor) novel Chapter 2

Reborn: Apocalypse Ready. War Goddess by My Side

Chapter 2 Operation Ember Eternal!

Timothy couldn’t understand how he’d been sent flying. All he felt was the burning sting spreading across his face.

At the same time, a crushing wave of humiliation surged through him.

Finished

How did this loser dodge me so easily? Before, I could beat the crap out of this guy whenever I wanted.

No!

This is impossible!

Steven just got lucky. I messed up, that’s all!

Timothy slammed both palms against the floor, flipped himself over, and sprang back to his feet in one motion.

“Steven!!”

Timothy roared.

The stunned students around them finally snapped out of it.

What the hell just happened?

Wasn’t Steven supposed to be the one sent flying? How did it become Timothy instead?

Combat skill ratings ranged from D to A, with each rank further divided into three ranks like A-, A, and A+.

Steven was only a B. Timothy was an A+. The gap between them was huge.

No matter how you looked at it, Steven should’ve been the one blasted away by Timothy.

But instead, Timothy had been thrown back so hard that his clothes were torn from scraping against the ground.

Timothy was furious.

Steven looked calm. “Yeah? What is it this time? Need me to buy you a bottle and a pacifier too?”

Everyone froze in shock.

“Steven’s seriously screwed now. Timothy might’ve let that first hit slide, but after this…”

A lot of students shook their heads. If Steven didn’t cough up blood today, this probably wasn’t ending anytime soon.

Timothy’s eyes turned red. “You wanna die?”

Steven sighed. “Seriously, stop already. You’re just gonna embarrass yourself again. Besides, I’m done chasing Lilliana. She’s all yours. Hurry up and take her home.”

That instantly pissed Lilliana off in the back. What the hell does he mean, take me home?

Timothy froze for a second, his brain almost short–circuiting. He wasn’t chasing her anymore? That was obviously a good thing. But after getting humiliated like this, there was no way he could let it go without payback.

His blood rushed to his head as he barked, “If you keep messing with Lilliana, I swear I’ll beat the hell out of you!”

Steven rubbed his temple. What a headache. Forget it. Better end this quickly so I can go find Bianca. He let out a cold laugh. “That’s a lot of tough talk coming from you.”

The entire class was stunned. He’s still provoking Timothy?

Timothy roared and stomped forward even more viciously this time.

“I’ll beat your ass into the ground!”

Wind kicked up beneath his feet as he charged Steven with his fist raised.

Steven still looked completely unfazed.

A lot of students silently sighed. Steven has clearly given up at this point. He’s finished. Timothy comes from a rich family, and he even has Awakened relatives backing him up. Hardly anyone dares mess with

him.

Only one person in the room noticed something strange.

Lilliana. She actually knew Steven pretty well. Facing an A+ combat specialist like Timothy, Steven wasn’t showing even a trace of panic.

That was completely unlike him.

And what happened next confirmed her suspicion.

Timothy attacked like a madman, every strike aimed straight for Steven’s weak points.

The school allowed sparring, but serious injuries were forbidden. Students who hadn’t awakened yet were considered precious assets. But Timothy clearly didn’t care.

His family had money and influence. He wasn’t afraid of consequences.

Steven had embarrassed him this badly. There was no way he’d let it slide.

Yet despite how fierce his attacks were, after an entire barrage, he still couldn’t touch even the corner of Steven’s clothes.

Instead, it felt like Steven was toying with him. Like an old expert messing around with a child.

“Look closely. Steven keeps retreating, but his footwork hasn’t slipped once. Since when did he get this strong? Isn’t he supposed to be a B–rank?”

A lot of people felt their hearts jolt.

Seeing that he still couldn’t land a hit, Timothy exploded in rage.

“Are you done dodging like a coward? Got the guts to fight back or not?”

Steven sneered inwardly. Handling Timothy was ridiculously easy.

Fine. Time to teach him a lesson.

With Steven’s current combat experience, playing with Timothy was effortless. Still, better wrap this up quickly.

A sharp glint flashed through Steven’s eyes. He sidestepped Timothy’s punch, spun around to his flank, and slammed a vicious elbow straight into the back of Timothy’s neck. The exact same scene repeated itself. Timothy crashed face–first onto the ground again.

A wave of shocked cries erupted around them.

“What just happened?”

“How can Timothy not even touch Steven?”

“This is insane. Is Steven really only ranked B?”

Timothy lay sprawled on the floor, overwhelmed by humiliation and fury.

“I’m gonna kill you!”

Steven replied flatly, “Moron.”

Right then, the homeroom teacher, who’d been standing in the back without intervening. finally frowned. What’s wrong with Timothy?

At this rate, he’s gonna end up the one suffering.

She hurriedly shouted, “Both of you, stop!”

Pretending to rush over in a panic, she strode toward them.

She wore a white blouse up top, with the outline of her bra faintly visible beneath it. Her tight pencil skirt hugged her hips closely, outlining a subtly seductive curve.

Black–rimmed glasses rested on her face.

And she looked furious.

The moment Steven saw her, he paused slightly.

So it’s this old witch.

Cassandra Chapman, Steven and Timothy’s homeroom teacher. She was a level 10 beginner Awakened who’d hit her ceiling long ago and ended up teaching at this high school instead.

Just an old hag with a temper worse than a warlord and a disgusting obsession with status.

Steven didn’t like talking about women that way, but she genuinely made his skin crawl. She looked down on poor students with zero shame, constantly preaching self–righteous lectures while insulting them, yet spent all day fawning over rich kids. She was revolting. Someone like her didn’t deserve to be a teacher. And with her stepping in, it became inconvenient for Steven to keep fighting.

Looks like there wouldn’t be a chance to teach Timothy another lesson today. Steven dropped the thought.

Cassandra turned toward Steven and snapped, “Steven, what the hell are you doing? School’s over, so go on home! If you want to spar, do it during combat class. Don’t cause trouble here!”

Steven looked at her coldly. He’d known this old hag would act exactly like this.

“Uh, old hag… I mean, Ms. Chapman, he started it first…”

Before he could even finish, Cassandra exploded. Old hag?

“Steven! How dare you insult a teacher? Shut your mouth! I’ll deal with you in a minute!”

Steven curled his lip. So she knows she’s an old hag, after all?

Can’t even stand hearing it out loud? What a joke.

The old hag immediately turned and walked over to Timothy.

“Timothy, are you alright?”

Timothy was humiliated beyond belief and didn’t even want to answer.

Cassandra noticed the injuries on his body.

She immediately whipped around and glared at Steven furiously.

“Look what you did! You’re classmates. Did you really have to hit him that hard? He’s bleeding! Go home and write me a 10,000–word essay to reflect on your mistakes!”

Damn, this old hag is really asking for it.

“Old hag, maybe open your damn eyes and see who started this. Someone like you shouldn’t be teaching anybody.”

Cassandra was both shocked and furious, her chest rising violently with anger. “This is outrageous! Come with me to the disciplinary office!”

The surrounding students were stunned speechless. What the hell is wrong with Steven today? He’s openly going against the homeroom teacher. Who the hell says stuff like that? That’s insane.

Nobody even dared make a sound anymore.

Steven glanced around casually. “I’ve got things to do. Maybe next time. Later.”

Right now, Steven honestly wanted to slap the hell out of this old hag. She really disgusts me. Why the hell should I care about her? After my Divine Awakening, she’ll be nothing anyway.

Better leave fast.

Some of the students from ordinary families in Cassandra’s class felt unbelievably satisfied watching this unfold. They’d wanted someone to curse this old hag out for ages. Poor kids were humans too. She always sided with rich students without caring who was right or wrong. She didn’t even bother pretending to be fair. And this whole thing obviously wasn’t Steven’s fault.

Inside, he cursed, Like hell I’m writing that shit.

Then he turned and walked off immediately. No point arguing with this old hag any longer.

Steven, you’re definitely going to regret this. Stopped liking me? Yeah, right. I don’t believe that for a

second.

As Timothy stared in the direction Steven had disappeared, his face darkened. How dare you embarrass me in front of Lilliana! This isn’t over. Tomorrow during combat class, let’s see how many people you can beat. Just wait.
