Chapter 379 - David's Turn
David had an unreadable expression on his face as he saw who his opponent was. Hazel was right in her calculations.
The captain of Class one team was going to be their fifth opponent during the battle. He had been quite skeptical about it previous but Hazel had mostly been right during her calculations previously so he decided to trust her this time.
A deep kind of excitement showed in his eyes, threatening to spill out as he walked towards the stage. He had mostly been fighting on missions which was why he still didn't know where his true strength lies within the institute and amongst his mates.
But now, he finally had the opportunity to measure his strength. Furthermore, it had been more than a few weeks since he had had any excitement last. Concocting serums and learning formulas was incredibly boring, repetitive and boring. Moreover, he could also avenge Normas.
He could finally have the excitement he was craving for. A small smile graced his lips. He didn't even see the looks of pity in the eyes of his three other teammates. Some were expecting to see his beaten up body while a few were just really sad for him.
David wasn't a very well known students in his class which was why there wasn't much cheer from the spectator stand. They didn't know if he was strong or weak. But youths were youths, they were normally hot blooded and craved for blood.
They would cheer at anything that would give them that feeling of excitement which was why there were a few students screaming and shouting from the spectator's stand.
Lira walked down towards the battle stage with an arrogant smirk on her face. The two glanced at each other and then, Ding!
The match had started but neither of them decided to make the first move.
Lira stretched her body with a relaxed expression on her face while gazing at David from his head to his toe, giving him a look over and she finally said. "You look pretty handsome if I must say."
There was no change in David's expression as he replied. "Thanks for your compliment."
"Haha. You sound quite humble too." Lira laughed as she placed her hands on her waist.
"If you say so." David replied with a stoic expression.
"Its a pity all that would have to how for a while."
This immediately sparked David's attention as he raised and eyebrows and asked. "Oh. And why would that be?"
Lira's expression immediately changed and an entirely evil smirk graced her lips. "That's because you wouldn't be the same after this battle."
"Okay, if you say so."
"That's cute." Lira giggled, her hand covering her mouth as she laughed.
"Okay, so here's the deal, since you are this cute, I will give you an opportunity." Lira added.
"Strike me with your strongest attack three times, and if i move back a step, I will consider letting you walk away without much of an injury."
David blinked his eyes and appeared to think about it. But then he frowned as he said. "If I get this right, you mean even if I make you move a step back, I would still lose this match but without much of an injury right?"
"Yup, that's basically it." Lira shrugged as she answered. "So do you agree?"
David frowned slightly. Wasn't this girl just too sure about her self? He himself wouldn't easily take his full strength attack with his Silver Body and his hardened muscles and tissues together with his regeneration skill, and this girl was saying she wouldn't move a step back.
David decided to just use 20 percent of his body strength and if she really could take it, he would then consider using his full strength. With that, David took in a deep breath.
His expression then turned serious as though he was facing a great enemy. Coordinating his breathing slightly, his body seem to relax as though he was in meditation.
Suddenly, the airflow with the entire stadium seem to change and then, fluttering sounds rang out, like paper flapping in the wind, and out of nowhere, a berserk energy currents from started to form as then entire stadium seem to bum and thrum and the massive berserk energy that was beginning to from.
An old man who was sitting at the podium High above the senior professor stilted his head sideways and his eyes squinted with a slight smile on his lips.
"What an interesting youngster." With that, he clicked on some buttons on his interface and in an instant, the barrier around the Year One battle stage hummed and then the protective Force field around it increased from level one to seven in a instant.
This immediately drew the attention of the Senior Professors as they knew it was only the Grand professor who had the power and authority to switch up the battle barriers in case of any threat that could affect the audience and the students.
At this moment, the tornado swept out, sounds of lightning arced and sparkled through the entire stadium!
A churning tornado that hid the skies and covered the earth formed with David as its center, sending massive air currents that rendered the audiences speechless.
Rumble bang bang~~~
In a split second, the heavens and earth shook, as dust filled the air. An intense flash blossomed from the defensive barrier. so dazzling that people were unable to open their eyes. While this happened, the entire stadium shook and swayed intensely, as though an earth quake was about to happen.
David's body trembled and his cloths flapped with the wind. It was at this moment Lira knew something was wrong and her pretty face widened in horror.
"Although you said I should use my full power, I'm only using 20 percent. If you can receive, I will consider increasing it." David's innocent voice echoed out through the stadium and then, his arms formed a fist as he struck forward without any technique, using just his pure fist!
