Chapter 41: Fear and courage (2/2)
Every reserve and team member of Iron Forest Academy had their eyes open wide, as wide as they could stretch.
It had been a long while since they saw Ferguillo in action. Now their blood reached the boiling point as soon as they saw Ferguillo on the offensive.
What made them even more excited was, the current Ferguillo and last year’s Ferguillo were worlds apart when it came to strength!
“Great River Dragon!”
A gigantic water dragon bubbled out from under Stingham’s feet just when they all thought the fight was over.
“Clang!” This huge water dragon flushed Stingham up until he crashed against the roof of this gym with an explosive sound. However, he actually dodged all the attacks from the feathers!
The gem-like feathers slowly vanished after their impact against the water dragon’s body.
Ferguillo slowly stretched his head back, looking the slightly miserable-looking Stingham up above.
Moss also subconsciously raised his head, his gaze firmly locked on Stingham.
“Strike me dead?”
A Stingham soaked from head to toe shouted loudly in anger, “Also, is your boss as handsome as me? Which one of your eyes sees him more handsome than me!”
“Golden Blink Strike!”
His silhouette suddenly dropped behind Ferguillo in a flash, along with a waft of golden particles.
However, the very instant his silhouette appeared, Ferguillo vanished in front of him, appearing behind him instead.
A palm seeming to hold the bright curved moon pushed its way in the direction of his back.
“Great Water Dragon!”
Stingham crashed on the roof with a boom once more, flushed by the water dragon. Ferguillo’s one punch the huge water dragon underneath.
Flying in the air, Stingham looked at Ferguillo with disbelief written all over his face.
“What arcane skill are you using that allows you to foresee every next step of mine?”
He didn’t attack again. He merely landed steady on the ground, along with droplets of water collapsing down, standing still more than a dozen feet away from Ferguillo.
Ferguillo watched him indifferently. His eyes shrank a little. “I actually also want to know what method you’re using to exceed the speed limit of a normal human. You can escape my attack even in such circumstances.”
Seeing that Ferguillo had no intention at all of exposing his secrets and answering his question, Stingham took out a comb and combed his hair, pondering in the meantime.
“Although it seems I can’t beat you for now, you probably can’t beat me either.”
“What the hell is filling this guy’s brain? Does he really think he’s the number one male under the heavens, he has to comb his hair even in a moment like this?” Several Iron Forest team members had faces full of black lines when they saw what he was doing.
“Your words are correct.”
Ferguillo nodded, no more heat to be found in his faint voice anymore. “But my teammates are all stronger than people from your Golden Lion Academy. Other than you, just Wilde alone is too much to handle for anyone else in your academy. That’s why, when the match comes, your school will still be the one to lose.”
“What you say makes a little sense.”
Stingham thought a little, then actually laughed out loud. “It’s not entirely true either, however. Because my handsome self’s strength will keep rising, so when the time comes… It’s still better for you guys to forfeit obediently, otherwise you’ll definitely be beaten by my wise handsome godly warrior self!”
Other than Ferguillo, all the other people from Iron Forest Academy rolled their eyes.
Ferguillo looked at Stingham and faintly said, “I’ll wait for you.”
Stingham immediately waved his hand and mumbled, “I’m done babbling with you guys now. My clothes are all wet, although, it’s fortunate there aren’t all that many girls in your school.” Then he turned around straight away and walked out of the gym. After shooting a glance at Moss standing in the doorway, he flung his head and left Iron Forest Academy.
The eyes of Ferguillo and the others fell on Moss.
“Did you come with him as well, someone from Golden Lion Academy?” Ferguillo asked in his faint voice.
Moss’ body started to tremble, uncontrollably.
The duel between Stingham and Ferguillo earlier had thoroughly exceeded his imagination. That sort of absolute fear was starting to get ahold of him once again. Ferguillo seemed at present like a giant evil monster who could swallow him at any moment, body and soul.
In face of this inexplicable fear, Moss had the urge to say, yes I came together with Stingham, then turn his head around and run away.
But a huge sense of shame drowned his body at the same time, at this instant when his body trembled in fear, unable to utter a word.
This sharp sense of shame caused the trembling of his body to become all the more intense, caused him to sweat even more cold sweat.
“No…” His head lifted up, however. “I am a man of Holy Dawn Academy.”
From the very small voice at the beginning, the sound rose to a yell.
“I am a man of Holy Dawn Academy. In the future… I will certainly represent Holy Dawn Academy and do battle with you, defeat you!”
He drew from the depths of his strength and shouted these words, entire unaware how twisted his face looked, sweat and tears flowing down on it at the same time.
“This guy… Are the Holy Dawn Academy people so arrogant? Although, declare war if you have to declare war, why are you crying.”
Several people from Iron Forest looked at him with the same eyes they’d use to watch a freak.
Ferguillo slightly quirked his eyebrows. He turned away, faintly saying, “Alright, I’ll also wait for you.”
…
“Boss, why did you have to acknowledge that guy from Holy Dawn Academy?”
After Moss’ figure vanished from their sights, many Iron Forest students asked of a Ferguillo who’d started his training again, unable to understand, “It’s the same as accepting his challenge, accepting a challenge from a weird guy like him who isn’t all that strong. It’s really too inappropriate for someone your status.”
“He was trembling out of fear from head to toe, but he still had the courage to challenge me. Someone like this might perhaps obtain some achievements,” Ferguillo faintly said. Then he unhurriedly said, “As to that Golden Lion Academy one… it should be a green dragon bloodline.”
