TEASER CHAPTER 6 PART 14
The
murmur of people echoed in the martial arts garden.
All
eyes were directed at the two men facing each other in the middle of the Martial Arts Garden.
Their
weapons, their physiques, and their reputations were completely opposite.
Jihad
Roundel and Nozomu Bountis.
Both
were standing there, keeping an eye on the other.
The
third-year students were watching them from outside the arena. They, too,
couldn't hide their turmoil at the unexpected matchup.
"What
the hell is going on here?"
It
was Kevin who reacted to the first-class students who tilted their heads. He
made no effort to hide his displeasure.
"Heck,
this is a waste of time. Jihad will defeat him with a single blow."
"Yeah,
that's right. Why him? I was hoping that Jihad-sensei would have sparred with
me..."
"Well,
it's alright, isn't it? As Kevin says, he will be defeated in a few seconds
anyway."
The
third-year students around him nodded and agreed with Kevin's words.
From
their point of view, this moment when they can have sparring with Jihad was a
rare opportunity to improve themselves.
There
was no way they could be favorable to someone who had snatched such a chance
away from them. Even more so if they thought that the person was much weaker
than them and the one who would abandon his lover.
In
the midst of all this, it was Mars, the tenth-class student of the same class
as Nozomu, who interrupted their words.
"We
can't be sure about it yet. It seems that Jihad guy doesn't use his specialized
sword..."
He
didn't like the ridicule he had just heard. Mars' expression was severe and
angry as if he was ready to explode at any moment.
In
fact, he looked as if he was about to lose his temper. His tightly clenched
fists were trembling slightly.
"You
mean it's some kind of handicap? You don't seem to know this, but Jihad always
uses those weapons when he was dealing with us."
Kevin
replied to Mars' words in a mocking tone.
Mars
frowned at his words.
"...
Is that true, Irisdina?"
"Yeah.
I hate to say this, but I've never seen him use that Jaw Drop against us."
Mars
asked to confirm with Irisdina, who was next to him, but apparently, Jihad had
never really used that giant sword on them.
Well,
it was certainly a giant sword that exceeded the height of its owner. It might
be difficult for him to go easy on them with such a sword.
However,
Mars shook his head as he thought about it.
"So,
that's how much of a monster he is..."
What
resurfaced in Mars' mind was the S-rank vampire he had once faced.
He
could do crazy things like controlling 10 magic at the same time by himself,
and he also had the unique ability of a vampire.
Given
the fact that Irisdina, Tima, and Mars were only able to buy themselves some
time by taking on him at the same time, it was not surprising that Jihad was
trying to avoid using his specialized weapon.
When
he thought about it, Mars felt that it was only natural that the troublesome
guy next to him would be thinking like that.
