I Can Copy Curses

Orion's declaration of challenge caught everyone by surprise—everyone but Lisa. She knew Orion's real strength but not others present in the big hall.

Mike felt that Orion was too arrogant. He understood his team's strength very well and knowing Orion had just passed the family test, he would at most be at the peak of iron rank. Therefore, he couldn't fathom how Orion could come up with such a challenge when his strength was so weak. He thought that Orion was simply a frog in the well and hadn't seen the world.

'It seems the title of 'trash young master' fits him the most.'

He thought, and a sneering expression appeared on his face.

Meanwhile, the group of silver-rank servants felt like they were insulted. They had trained their whole lives to achieve this strength and now they had to take part in an idiotic challenge posed by the infamous 'trash young master'.

Although they were angry about it, they also sneered. They felt that it was a good opportunity to leave Orion's team and join other young masters from the family. They couldn't directly leave Orion's team before a specific period of time but if Orion expelled them, then it was a different matter altogether.

Orion smiled, looking at their excited faces. He understood what they wanted since he proposed to let them leave his team if any of them completed the challenge and they were probably after that opportunity.

'Fools.'

What they didn't know was that it was a double-edged sword for them. If it could cut for them, then it would also cut them too.

He had intentionally given them this opportunity so that they would participate in the challenge, thinking they could have a chance to leave his team but little did they know they were just moments away from being a part of the very team they wanted to leave forever.

Soon, one of the servants stepped up and looked at Orion.

"We accept your challenge," he said with a sly grin on his face. "But how can we trust you that you won't go back on your words?"

The smile on Orion's face became even wider after hearing their suspicions about whether he would be true to his words or not.

Musing over this, he turned to Mike.

"Mike, I hereby declare you the judge of this challenge," he said, his face turning solemn all of a sudden. "In the name of the Darkwood Family, you are to judge this challenge without being biased, can you do that?"

"I can." Mike nodded seriously. Although he believed the result wouldn't change from what he had in mind, he couldn't reject Orion's order.

Orion nodded and turned his attention to the servants.

"Let's go to the middle of the area," he said, walking. "If you lose, just don't cry and accept your fate." He sneered, turning around.

The servants almost cursed Orion but they controlled themselves, knowing Orion was still their master and also a young master of the Darkwood Family.

Arriving in the middle, Orion first activated the curse of Electrostatic Disruption and used the technique of absolute defense on himself.

At the same time, he used the Curse Transformation mode and the curse of Burdened Gravity in that mode. He felt that Burdened Gravity increased his weight more than Constant Pull.

Almost instantly, a layer of red film covered his body as he activated his absolute defense and a heavy pressure surrounded him, increasing his weight more than ever he had experienced previously.

He felt that his weight had almost been increased by ten times what would have been normally increased without using the Curse Transformation mode.

He then turned towards the group of servants and beckoned them with his tiny finger.

"Come."

All the servants became instantly angry upon being provoked by Orion.

"Look at him; he thinks he can win the challenge."

"That's the mark of a fool."

"I say one of us go and teach him a lesson or two about reality."

"Trash will always be trash, even if they gain a little bit of strength."

"Let's end this quickly. So, who is going to go?"

"Let me teach him a lesson."

They mocked him without any fear and, in the end, decided to teach him a lesson.

Soon, a heavy man came forward. He appeared quite bulky in comparison to Orion, who appeared thin. He was almost bald but there were grains of hair atop his head.

"I am Hubert," the man said, arriving in front of Orion.

As the two of them stood only a handful of inches from each other, everyone could see that the man appeared like a giant while Orion appeared like a kid. Seeing that, they sneered, thinking that the fight was over before it even started.

"Alright, you can start." Orion said, looking at Hubert.

"Don't blame me," Hubert muttered as he took a step forward and pushed Orion with both of his hands.

However, the moment his hands were about to touch Orion, they suddenly bounced back, surprising him.

He couldn't understand what happened just now and felt that he might have made a mistake because of the excitement of teaching a young master.

Everyone else also saw that but they thought differently. They felt that it was Hubert who appeared to be intentionally teasing Orion and playing with him. The thought of this being Orion's doing didn't even cross their minds.

'Let's do this again but seriously this time.

Hubert thought and once again moved his hands towards Orion, intending to push him; however, his hands once again bounced back.

'What's going on?'

This time, he felt that there was definitely something else going on.

'Could it be Young Master's doing?'

Turning to Orion, he saw that Orion seemed to be smiling at him.

"What? Give up?" Orion teased him, seeing his shocked expression.

Hubert felt ashamed when he heard Orion. But he also couldn't understand what was happening here. He couldn't understand how his hands bounced back automatically.

"Hubert, what are you doing? Just do it already."

"Yeah, don't waste our time."

"Yeah, I am hungry. Just finish it already."

"Hubert, playtime is over."

The group of servants began to reprimand Hubert. They felt that Hubert was only wasting their time by playing with Orion.

As for Hubert, his shame suddenly turned into frustration after hearing his fellow servants reprimand him.

'Damn, I will use my strength then.'

He couldn't understand what was happening but he felt that everything was pointless in the face of absolute strength and he had a talent that gave him that type of strength.

Turning to look at Orion once again, he saw that Orion stood with a bored expression on his face and that bored face irked him even more. He felt like he was being looked down on by trash—by someone who was a whole rank below him.

Seeing that, he decided to go all out.

"Overlord Body."

As Hubert used his talent, his body began to twitch and tremble as if he were the manifestation of raw strength or his body embodied the raw strength itself.

A moment later, his t-shirt burst into pieces because of the overwhelming pressure releasing from his body.

Mike frowned, seeing Hubert using his talent. He felt that there wasn't a need for that but he didn't interfere and let it be. He also wanted to see how Orion would respond to that.
