Chapter 196 - 8.3
The cadets were standing behind the line of the wide training ground. They were ready to watch the fight between their mighty general, General Vega Satellarnus, versus the ex-general's boastful son before General Vega, Altair Roderick.
Altair had short, blazing red hair that was quite conspicuous under the sunlight. Everyone couldn't help but glance at his trademark fiery red hair, and he took pride in it. Altair drank a bottle of water before preparing himself for a fight.
He stripped his uniform and showed his showstopping abs that bedazzled everyone. Altair cracked his knuckles and did few punches in the air. He commented on General Vega, who had just entered the training ground, "Ah, General, you are here. I thought you would chicken out, haha!"
"No, I do not run from a fight, especially when it is about my honour," General Vega said.
"Well, if you want to surrender, this is the best time to do it. I don't want you to cry and report to my father that I'm bullying you!" Altair taunted the general.
The cadets gritted their teeth and clenched their fists after such provocation, but General Vega didn't seem to be bothered. He calmed his subordinates and stripped his uniform.
Unlike Altair's abs that was 'in your face' kind of muscle that you often saw in a strong alpha, General Vega had beautiful abs, perfectly contoured and proportioned. It was such a beautiful muscle that threw everyone in awe.
True, their general was a beta, but General Vega might be the strongest beta humanity could ever have.
Altair was also bedazzled for a moment, seeing such beautiful abs, but he shook his head and focused himself. He prepared his stance and clenched his fist in front of his face, "Are you ready, General?"
[Ehehehe, everyone is looking at my body, how stimulating.]
[Pupa: Focus! You are an upright and serious General!]
[Yes, yes, I know!]
[Pupa: But, can you really handle Altair?]
[Oh, don't underestimate me, Pupa. I have way more experience than him. I've transmigrated in seven worlds, remember?]
General Vega stood straight with his hands cupped behind, "I'm ready."
"Why do you cup your hands behind?" Altair asked before he made his first move.
"I don't want to hurt my cadet severely. He might cry," General Vega smiled. Altair was provoked by such remark, he grinned maliciously;
"Well, your loss—" Altair dashed towards General Vega. He was really fast that most cadets who watched him couldn't see his move at all. It was almost like he had teleported right in front of General. Altair was sure that General Vega could not dodge this.
But to his surprise, General Vega flashed a smile before Altair's fist touched his face and then dodged by turning to the left. Altair punched the air as he rolled to the ground and recovered immediately.
He glared at the General, who still stood straight, unscathed.
'How in hell he can dodge me?! He is an SS+ beta, and I am the SSS alpha!' Altair gritted his teeth, unable to accept defeat.
Altair dashed again with his extreme speed, and this time, he used his feet to kick General's stomach. But again, General Vega just dodged to the right, and Altair kicked the air before falling to the ground.
The cadets laughed at him and clapped their hands at their General.
Altair was ashamed that he missed twice, even falling to the ground while the General just stood nonchalantly, "Why are you not attacking!?"
"Just like what I told you, I do not want to hurt my cadet severely because they are an important asset to the kingdom. I suggest you surrender now before you get hurt for real, Cadet Altair," General Vega said.
"Never! I will defeat you instead!" Altair dashed again, but this time, he used both his hand and leg to attack. He punched first, and General Vega tried to dodge, but before the General could successfully avoid, Altair did a follow-up kick on General's waist.
And the kick successfully landed, 'Yes! He will fall to the ground now!' Altair thought.
But to his surprise, General Vega only winced a little before using his feet to kick Altair's stomach until he was flown across the training ground and hit on the tree behind him, "ARGH!"
Altair felt the powerful kick almost made him vomit his gut, and the collision with the tree behind him actually made the tree shook wildly. Altair thought he also broke his back in the process.
Altair fell on the ground, holding his stomach and vomiting all his lunch, "Urk!"
The cadets watched the boastful SSS physique alpha, who said he could take on anyone here even if they were fighting against him at the same time, fell on the ground and vomited his lunch. It was such a brutal hit for Altair's pride that he didn't want to raise his head for the moment. He was too ashamed of himself.
'I… I got beaten by a beta…'
General Vega walked to Altair and then raised his chin up with his finger, "Cadet Altair, you are fast, but your physique is very fragile. It was a low kick from me, and you already lost all your strength. This is simply intolerable when we are fighting Zergs in the future."
Altair glared at General Vega and cursed, "Eat shit, you trash beta!" then he spat on the General's face.
"YOU!" every cadet who saw this were ready to kill Altair, but General Vega only stared in displeasure and said;
"I think you need to reflect upon your attitude, Cadet Altair Roderick. Rest now," General Vega flicked Altair's forehead. The flick was actually powerful enough to make Altair dizzy and fainted in the process.
[… not going to lie, when he spit on me… I got turned on… just a bit.]
[Pupa: Oh no, I don't even want to talk about it any longer, it's too disgusting.]
[Hey, you should appreciate someone's preference!]
[Pupa: Yes… but not your preference!]
