“What are you doing here Valery?” a male student asked in a surprised voice when he saw Valery.
Valery gave the male student a side long glance and said, “we are inside the sparring arena Leon and a match is about to start. What do you think I am doing here?”
Leon was stunned for about a moment but then he smiled awkwardly and said, “so you are also here to watch the match. I didn’t think I will see you here”
Leon was 185 cm tall. He has black hair and black eyes and with his perfect body build he looks quite dashing. Just like Valery, the aura around him was also that of a C+ rank evolver.
“By the way, what do you think about my earlier offer? You just have to share one-fourth portion of the ice heart flower and I can help you clear that dungeon” Leon sat beside Valery and asked.
“Sorry Leon I can’t accept your offer I need a fully intact ice heart flower,” Valery said and shook her head, “so forget about it”
“Are you sure?” Leon asked with a frown on his face, “it will be very difficult for you to find another C+ rank hunter who is as capable as me”
“Don’t worry I know what I am doing, thanks for your concern”
Hearing Valery, Leon was about to say something but in the end, he closed his mouth and just nodded his head.
“Let me tell you the rules,” the referee said to Evan and Mike after arriving in the arena.
“Even though you guys didn’t make any rules regarding the usage of artifacts, you are not allowed to use any attack-type artifacts like a sword, spears, and other weapons. If you are a weapon user just take a weapon of your preference from the arena’s weapon racks. They are special weapons created specifically for spar so they are safe”
“Second, you are not allowed to purposely attack the vital areas of your opponent such as eyes and crotch area if you do that I will immediately disqualify you”
“Third, the match will end when either one of you loses consciousness or surrender”
“Fourth and last rule, if I say you to stop you should immediately stop fighting or it won’t be good for you”
“Do you understand?”
Evan and Mike nodded their head after hearing the referee.
“How long do you think Evan will last?”
“Don’t know maybe around one minute or something”
“I think the match will be over in a few seconds after all Mike can simply ignore all of Evan’s attacks because of his armor and focus on attack”
Seeing both of them nodding their head the referee slashed his hand and shouted, “you may begin!”
When the referee gave the signal for the start of the match both Evan and Mike didn’t move.
Evan didn’t do anything because he wasn’t worried about the match and wanted to see what Mike was planning to do. On the other hand, Mike didn’t do anything because he wanted to see Evan try to break the defense of his armor.
“Why are you not attacking? Don’t tell me you are not even going to try after challenging me arrogantly that day” Mike said to Evan in a mocking tone and he continued,
“If you kneel down and apologize to me I will let you off this time”
Hearing Mike, Evan’s interest to see what Mike was planning completely disappeared.
A light blue layer of mana appeared around Evan as he used mana reinforcement.
Even without using mana reinforcement, Evan can defeat Mike easily, but it will be too eye-catching if Evan defeats Mike with just his physical strength without anything else.
So Evan decided to use mana reinforcement so that people will think his physical strength is very high because of mana reinforcement.
Of course, after using mana reinforcement Evan was not planning to use his full power since his physical strength will reach C+ rank after using mana reinforcement.
If Evan attack on Mike with his full strength even though he is wearing a C rank armor Evan knew there is a high chance Mike will die.
When other people saw Evan using mana reinforcement they all were disappointed. At first, they still had a little hope that Evan may have a powerful skill that may be able to break the defense of Mike but seeing him using the most basic technic mana reinforcement they lost all of their hope.
But what happened next shocked everyone to their core including Evan himself.
Since Evan doesn’t want to kill Mike he decided to use around eighty percent of his strength. He thought it should be enough to break the C rank defense of Mike’s armor.
Evan pressed his feet on the ground and the next second even before most of the people who were watching the match can see what happened he arrived before Mike.
Evan felt something was wrong since his agility was way higher than he imagined.
He used eighty percent of his strength so his agility shouldn’t be this fast but he didn’t think too much about it and after coming before Mike he threw a punch toward him.
Although the punch was casual the air around Evan’s fist exploded because of the sheer force of this punch.
Evan’s face changed when he saw even the power of his punch was much higher than he thought.
At the last moment, Evan tried to lower the power of the fist but because he didn’t get enough time, he wasn’t able to lower the power much.
Mike who was grinning just a moment ago was stunned when Evan suddenly appeared before him, and even before he can move away he saw Evan throw a punch toward his armor.
Mike felt a mountain-crushing force coming towards him and all the invisible hairs on his bald head stood up.
But there was no way Mike who wasn’t prepared for Evan’s attack can do anything about it.
Booomm!!!
Crunch!!
A loud booming sound along with bone breaking echoed out as Mike flew backward like a broken kite.
Mike crashed thirty meters away creating a two meters wide crater.
The crimson color C rank armor he was wearing was tattered, and the chest area where Evan punched him earlier was caved in.
Blood continues to flow out from his mouth as Mike stopped moving after his body crashed thirty meters away.
The entire arena turned silent as people looked at Evan and then at Mike wondering just what happened.
