Chapter 509: BOOOOOOOOOO!
Just as it fell, the three bullies stepped forward, forming a loose semi-circle around Arthur.
Anyone could tell they were hoping to use numbers to their advantage, but Arthur didn't even shift his stance to combat that.
He simply looked at each of them, his gaze calm.
Known to no one but his classmates, professors, Amon, and a few random others, he had become a class ten, a Rune Artificer.
The boy who previously hadn't even known that he was an Elemental Enchanter was now something a step above that.
Though he was still an Ascendant Elite-because he had lost a large chunk of his Aether reserves during the third minor disaster- his new cyber augments more than made up for it.
No one knew exactly how much strength he gained from them, but a sharp eye could estimate by catching the faint differences in the skin on his forearms-thin patches revealing that both arms, though covered with realistic fake skin, had been mostly replaced with something stronger.
That wasn't all.
His martial arts were refined-layered with his absurd luck. And said luck, it seemed, had turned from a life-saving buffer into a weapon, his strongest one.
Arthur's eyes flicked from one bully to the next, and if he felt even a twinge of concern, it didn't show. Instead, he seemed to be sizing them up, calculating, and waiting.
Then, as the one on the left moved a step, Arthur made his move.
{×××××}, glowed brightly on his augmented suit, and his body flashed forward.
Whether accidentally or not, that move had him dodge the first attack, a secret Iron Fist that decimated where he just was.@@@@
Their attacks didn't stop there, the one Arthur rushed towards had welcomed him with a right sucker punch, aiming to lob his head clean off.
A twist and sidestep was all that he needed to evade the attack.
His arm quickly lashed out right after, enhanced with multiple {☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐ enchantments.
The first bully felt the punch land square in his ribs, the force sending him staggering backward, doubling over as blood coughed out his mouth.
He was a goner, but Arthur didn't stop there.
His left leg lashed out, kicking his head into the ground, knocking him out cold.
In the time he took to attack, one of the bullies, a Knight, summoned two Aetheric Bulwarks on Arthur's left and right, trapping him in one direction of space.
Then, right next to him was the other bully, a Brawler, and he punched out with both hands, screaming:
"Iron Fist!"
A torrent of Aether went forth, threatening to consume him whole, but Arthur didn't seem to care, even when his only escape was blocked off.
One must never forget that luck was on his side, always.
The Aetheric Bulwark on his right flickered, and before the attack could reach him, he simply stepped out, using the very shield meant to trap him as protection.
"HE'S CHEATING!"
"First-years thinking they're invincible these days... getting way too cocky."
The referee sneered, loud enough for everyone to hear and the crowd erupted in boos.
"Shut up! Don't ruin the fun!"
"Get out!"
"Nobody cares about you third years!"
"Go back to your cave, you prehistoric moron!"
"We're all better than you!"
"BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
For a moment, the students' dislike for the referee overshadowed their shock at Arthur's
performance, seemingly forgetting what just happened.
The referee scowled, light gray eyes scanning the jeering students, then raised both hands and
flipped them off with a smug grin.
"Go fuck yourselves! Oh wait, I'm sure you do, you pubescent virgins!"
"BOO00000000!!!!"
"Get out!"
"Yeah, get the fuck out of here!"
"Just because you're hot doesn't mean that you can treat us like this!"
"Nobody cares about the student council!"
"BOO00000000!!!!"
"Step on me!"
"Ew! Shut the horny bastard up!"
"Leave-!"
"BOO00000000!!!!"
"SHUT UP!!!!"
Amidst the chaos, Emir, leaning casually against a pillar with an amused look, only smiled
wider at the display.
[Ly... was Olivia always like this?]
