Chapter 40: One Attack

Not to mention the students, even the instructors were astonished by what they were seeing.

Leo Ferguson, Alex’s father.

He was a Peak Giant who could truly be considered a lion among men.

Those who knew him understood just how tyrannical he was.

Yet now, he was apologizing for his son.

Enzo wore a strange expression, wondering how this man had arrived so quickly.

It didn’t look like he had merely happened to pass by.

Rather, he seemed to have come here at incredible speed.

Since his father had come to apologize, Enzo hesitated to act. After all, he really wanted to teach Alex a lesson.

"Father, what the hell is this? Why do we have to apologize to him? He’s nothing but a gigolo. Do you really think Lady Stanley will get angry just because I challenged him to a fight? Just wait a while. Lady Stanley will definitely throw him away once she gets bored of him." Alex suddenly protested, causing his father to stare at him in disbelief.

Leo gasped.

"You? Did you smoke weed again, you damn brat?"

BANG!

He slammed Alex’s head into the ground once again.

He had realized that this damn brat couldn’t be allowed to breathe and speak, because he would never stop spouting nonsense.

"Mr. Muller, I..." Leo Ferguson looked at Enzo as if he were about to cry.

"Perhaps you should just let him fight me," Enzo replied, shocking everyone.

They had thought this was his chance to suppress Alex without giving him any opportunity to fight back, yet he was actually giving Alex a chance.

Alex tried to pull his head out of the ground when he heard Enzo’s words.

However, he couldn’t fight against the pressure of his father’s hand.

Still, his desire to fight was incredibly high.

"Hahaha, Ferguson, perhaps we should listen to Enzo’s words." Suddenly, laughter came from inside the building.

Everyone looked toward the entrance and saw the Dean walking out into the courtyard.

"Your son has indeed gone too far, but if he isn’t defeated, he won’t be convinced and will continue challenging Enzo," the Dean continued.

Leo Ferguson didn’t respond immediately.

He was still looking at Enzo, wanting to hear his words again.

"Let him go!" Enzo said.

"Alright!"

Leo Ferguson could no longer stop him since these were Enzo’s own words.

He released Alex’s head and stepped backward.

Alex immediately stood up.

"If you’re afraid to fight me, I’ll curse you for the rest of my life," he said, only making his father even more annoyed.

"Do you still want to make a bet?" Enzo asked. "But if you want to bet, you need to put up something worthwhile as collateral."

"Hmph, you think I don’t have anything? I have this egg." He suddenly took out a large egg roughly the size of a human head. It was yellow in color.

"This egg was discovered in South America by my grandfather, and it still hasn’t hatched to this day. We don’t know what kind of egg it is, but every Giant who has seen it knows that it’s extremely valuable because even they need to use their full strength to destroy it."

"You damn brat, how dare you wager your grandfather’s gift!" Leo Ferguson couldn’t remain silent after hearing this.

"Father, it’s already mine. What’s the problem? I won’t lose."

"Very good..." Leo Ferguson nodded as if he agreed, but the redness on his face showed just how furious he actually was.

Alex, meanwhile, was still filled with confidence. He picked up the hammer that had fallen earlier.

"Draw your weapon. Don’t say I’m being unfair for not giving you a chance," he said.

"No need," Enzo replied.

"Hmph, just admit that you don’t have one." Alex snorted before suddenly charging toward Enzo, raising the massive hammer high above his head.

His body was indeed fat, but he was incredibly fast.

Of course, he was still far slower than the armored figure inside the Light Sphere.

Buzz!

Enzo released his Spiritual Energy and transformed as much of it as he could into flames.

Heat instantly radiated from his body, and everyone in the courtyard could feel it.

With nothing more than a punch thrown into the air, the flames flowed toward his fist before shooting forward in the shape of a fist toward Alex, whose eyes widened.

He couldn’t dodge and was swallowed by the flames.

Enzo then leaped backward as Alex landed on the ground.

"Hot! Ahhh..."

He screamed and rolled across the ground.

Raw strength against flames—it was simply an unfair fight.

That was why Level 1 and Level 3 Spiritual Warriors weren’t particularly feared.

They were merely humans who had reached a high level of physical strength.

Before true power, whether it was an element or any kind of technique, they were extremely vulnerable.

"Help..." Alex seemed unable to endure it and continued screaming.

Flames formed from Spiritual Energy were naturally not so easy to extinguish. Even using water might not be effective.

Fortunately, the direction he was rolling in brought him closer to the Dean.

The latter only needed to wave his hand to create a powerful gust of wind that blew the flames out.

In the end, Alex was completely blackened.

Even his clothes were riddled with holes.

He glared at Enzo with wide eyes.

As a Spiritual Warrior, he still possessed considerable physical resistance. He wasn’t seriously injured yet.

He simply couldn’t withstand the heat.

"Alex, you’ve lost," the Dean said.

"You have to admit it and hand your egg over to Enzo."

Hearing this, Alex’s blackened skin turned red and then pale.

He looked like he was holding his breath.

"I didn’t expect you to receive this much help from Lady Stanley. You’ve only just become a Spiritual Warrior, yet you’ve already mastered a technique," he said.

In his mind, there was no way Enzo could have mastered that technique on his own. He must have received some kind of assistance from his wife.

Enzo merely smiled, too lazy to argue.

"So what now?" he said. "Do you want to fight again?"

"Hmph!" Alex stood back up and threw the yellow egg toward Enzo.

"I admit that I lost, but don’t think I’ve accepted it. You only won because you were lucky."

"You damn brat, you’re still being arrogant." Leo Ferguson finally couldn’t remain silent any longer. He slapped Alex hard across the cheek, sending him flying into the air.
