Chapter 87 - Ahh! This is Bad!
Chapter 87 - Ahh! This is Bad!
Souta was stepping through the air using the combat art [Air Walk]. His speed was so fast that he could barely hear Lynn, who was screaming, from his arms.
Lynn didn't expect this development at all. She thought that they were just going to the other cla.s.ses in a normal way, not this one.
Swoos.h.!.+
Souta finally saw the campsite of a certain cla.s.s. He saw the red flag of that cla.s.s in the center area of the campsite.
He bent his knees and stepped into the air.
Boom!
He launched himself towards the campsite with a speed greater than before. Before he crashed on the ground, he released Lynn from his arms and casted [Shadow Bind] to catch her.
"Ahh!!" Lynn fell down fifteen meters above the ground but before she reached the ground, the shadows on the ground burst out and caught her.
"Hu~ I'm safe." Lynn was about to complain when she heard a loud booming sound. She turned her head and saw that Souta crashed at the campsite of this cla.s.s.
The shadows that were around her slowly disappeared.
Thud!
"Ouch!" Lynn fell down on her b.u.t.t. She doesn't have time to worry about this as she stood up and patted the dust on her clothes.
She looked around and saw a few familiar faces. She saw Brando the strongest s.h.i.+elder in the whole first year. It means that she was at the campsite of the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s 1-A.
...
Souta looked at everyone from the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s 1-A and grinned widely.
"I'm sorry Brando. I'm going to s.n.a.t.c.h your cla.s.s red flag." He said.
"It's not going to be that easy, Souta," Brando replied as he activated his [s.h.i.+elder's Aura].
Brando's cla.s.smates too prepared themselves for the worse outcome. There's no one among their cla.s.s who didn't know Souta. Souta was the one who won in the mini-tournament before, trampling their whole cla.s.s even with a handicap.
"Let me see the power of your cla.s.s."
They subconsciously took a step back as Souta lifted his foot and gently stepped forward. Then, Souta's mana flared up and at the same time, hundreds of shadows burst out of the ground.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
The students of the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s 1-A jumped as the shadows chased them. They waved their s.h.i.+elds on the shadows.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Some of the students managed to repel the shadows but some weren't.
Brando looked around and shouted, "Ashley, Crane, Freddy, come with me! We will stop Souta! I'll leave the others to you, Jake!"
He then rushed towards Souta with a serious expression on his face. He knew it. He knew that Souta was stronger than him. He knew it more than anyone else. But he still needed to Souta from capturing their red flag.
"Souta!!" Brando charged forward and used [s.h.i.+eld Bash].
"Entertain me, Brando," Souta said with a smirk on his face. Brando's s.h.i.+eld zooms the distance between them in an instant.
When the s.h.i.+eld was about to hit Souta, Souta vanished and the s.h.i.+eld only hit the air.
Brando quickly looked around and saw Souta ten meters away from him.
Souta smiled and said, "The spell [Agility Boost] and the combat arts [Cat's Speed] are both skills that can increase a person's speed. If I combine these two with [Dash] then..."
Swoos.h.!.+
Brando was stunned as he found Souta appeared in front of him. He wanted to raise his s.h.i.+eld but he was too late.
A fist crashed into his cheeks.
Bang!!
Brando flew five meters away. He twisted his body in the air and landed on the ground safely. He looked up and saw that Souta chased after him.
Souta was about to punch Brando when he saw a small round s.h.i.+eld flew in the air. It flew straight towards him.
Souta moved his body sideways and the small round s.h.i.+eld pa.s.sed beside him.
Swoos.h.!.+
"That was close," Souta said with a smile.
He looked
Souta aimed his palm at Freddy and casted [Shadow Ball].
Swoos.h.!.+
A shadow flashed above him. It was Ashley of the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s 1-A. She was a tall woman with dark skin. She was holding a s.h.i.+eld that was half of her size.
Souta looked up and saw her s.h.i.+eld emitted a green light. A giant green s.h.i.+eld materializes in front of her.
[Defensive Strike]!!
Souta quickly bent his knees and jumped backward to avoid the giant energy s.h.i.+eld. It was then that he noticed a strong beside him. He followed it and found that the string was attached to the small round s.h.i.+eld before.
"You can't avoid this." Freddy smiled and he pulled the string.
Swoos.h.!.+
The s.h.i.+eld flew back to Souta with speed greater than before.
"Really, what a teamwork." Souta smiled and when the two attacks were about to smash him he suddenly disappeared.
Boom!!
Ashley, Fred, and Brando were stunned when they saw this. They didn't see Souta move at all. It was impossible that they didn't even see his figure blur. It was like a bubble that vanished into thin air.
Bang!!
Fred felt a pain in his back. Someone just smashed his back. He turned his head and saw Souta behind him.
"I see..." He muttered before he flew away and crashed in the tree.
Bang!!
"Fred!!" Brando and Ashley shouted at the same time.
Souta smiled at the two. He then heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw a man larger than Brando. He was Crane, the second most powerful man in the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s 1-A.
"Okay, let me test something on you."
Souta said as he activated the [Triple Muscle Strengthening] skill. He could feel that his muscles grow tougher and stronger.
Crane charged towards Souta with his s.h.i.+eld.
Souta stood on his position and he slowly pulled back his hand. He clenched his fist tightly and waited for Crane.
Swoos.h.!.+
Crane swung his s.h.i.+eld when he arrived in front of Souta. And Souta responded by throwing his fist.
Boom!!
A loud sound echoed in the whole area as a gust of wind swept out in the surroundings.
Souta was pushed back five meters away. He felt a numbling sensation on his fist.
Crane's s.h.i.+eld has formed a dent on its surface.
"That hurts," Souta said as he opened and closed his palm. He then turned his head and saw that every student of the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s 1-A was around him.
"Hmm... This is getting good."
Souta squatted down and placed his palm on the surface of the ground. He lifted up his head and said, "Don't blame me."
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
Swoos.h.!.+
Countless spikes that were made of shadows burst out of the ground. It first appeared beside Souta then it spread quickly.
The student of the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s 1-A immediately jumped away when they saw the spikes.
But...
Something grabbed their foot. It was the [Shadow Bind] spell.
"Ah!!" The students screamed as the spike pierced their bodies.
Putchi!
Putchi!
Putchi!
Souta then launched himself towards the students who managed to escape from his attack.
His schoolmates were still alive. He wouldn't kill them in Inst.i.tute property or else he would face severe punishment for killing his schoolmates. If he was going to kill someone, he would do it outside of the inst.i.tute or city.
He didn't pierce their vitals parts.
Souta fought the remaining students with his bare hands. He didn't even cast a spell this time to help him. He wanted to test how far he could do with only his physical ability.
He moved his body swiftly and he threw powerful punches to the students of the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s. He had great confidence in his physical ability, so he didn't back down at all in close range combat against the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s.
The s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s, who boasted to have the toughest body in cla.s.s, even took great damage from Souta's punches.
...
After a few minutes, Souta was the only one who was standing at the campsite of the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s 1-A.
The students of the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s were all lying around the place. They were either couldn't move or unconscious.
"Argh!" Brando tried to move his body but unfortunately, he couldn't. He felt great pain all over his body.
"He's so strong..." Ashley lifted up her head and saw Souta's figure before she loses her consciousness.
Souta was in the center of the campsite holding the red flag of the s.h.i.+eld Cla.s.s 1-A.
Blood flows down from his mouth. He lifted up his hand and wiped it out. He turned his head and looked at Lynn.
"One red flag acquired." He said as he smiled at her.
Lynn's cheeks turned red when she saw his smile. She turned around and held her cheeks with both of her hands.
'Ahhh! This is bad! He is so cool!'
