Chapter 79: In order to protect (2/2)
At this time, Ayrin trailed afterimage after afterimage, his explosive punch already reaching Brook.
“Die!”
Facing Ayrin’s meteor punch, Brook also punched without even thinking. It was precisely the scene of punches violently clashing together that almost every spectator in the stands most liked to see.
“What!”
Brook’s blood-red eyes suddenly filled with an incredulous expression. A gigantic strength hit him, and he couldn’t control his body as it fell backward. His entire right arm hurt as if it were torn.
“What happened?”
Everyone in the stands saw that Brook was at first the one suppressing Ayrin, and Ayrin kept falling back, but the situation turned around now, turning into Ayrin raining blows like a fierce squall, while Brook merely resisted as if his life depended on it, falling back nonstop.
“How did it turn out like this?”
In a corner of the stands, several team members of some unknown team were at a complete loss.
“It’s his skill at exploiting his strength and also his alarming endurance.”
A handsome young man with black hair, seemingly the most senior among them, explained, “This Ayrin must have gone through a special training, his instant eruptions of strength are really astounding, and the most important thing is that his endurance is too alarming. He gives me the feeling he’ll simply never become tired. There’s no change at all in his strength right now compared to his strength at the beginning of the fight.”
This boy breathed in deeply after a slight pause, and added, “Brook’s natural talents are also very good, and he must be putting special emphasis on physical training to begin with this arcane skill of his, but his strength clearly declined a lot after his stormy outburst earlier. That’s why he’s falling downwind currently instead.”
“Carter, where the hell did you find such a monster!”
“Two freshman, I actually lost to two freshmen!”
The one with the most unsightly expression at this time was precisely the teacher leading team Divine Shield, Payton.
He was more clearly aware than almost everyone in the stands that, when facing Ayrin, Brook met a problem in the compatibility of their ways of fighting.
Brook’s good resistance, endurance, and other traits were entirely useless when running into Ayrin.
Because Ayrin seemed to be even more resistant than him, could withstand more pain, had even more endurance.
He originally saw this match as a match between himself and Carter, but now, with a quick comparison in the arrangement of their troops, he clearly suffered a crushing defeat.
“Now Ayrin is going to hit Brook all the way to the wall instead!”
In a mere short amount of time, everyone saw that Brook’s retreat had taken him not far away from the wall behind him.
And what was different from what many people imagined was, with a muffled bang, Ayrin’s punch viciously smashed on Brook’s chest.
The moment he ate this punch, Brook appeared as if he couldn’t even lift his hands anymore.
Three sounds immediately followed this one sound in quick succession.
The instant Brook’s body flew backward, Ayrin smashed him with three more ruthless punches.
His body once again accelerated backwards, then crashed fiercely on the ground and rolled all the way to the edge of the field before finally stopping.
Brook’s head lifted, but the following second, it dropped down again without strength.
“Victory!”
“Another victory!”
The Divine Shield students in the stands had long fallen thoroughly silent, while the Holy Dawn students felt limp and numb all over. This feeling was like a little kid who only had a single candy, then someone led him into a gigantic candy world and pointed at this world, telling him, this world is a gift for you.
“Only one left… I’m really tired…”
Ayrin rested his hands on his knees and panted heavily.
“You’ve gone too far!” a furious female voice said.
Ayrin lifted his head. He saw a girl come his way. She had a very tall stature, an oval face, and a waist that seemed especially slender; her eyes spat fire.
“Bessa against Ayrin!” the referee said at this time.
Only then did Ayrin come back to his senses. He realized this furious girl with a slender waist was the last contestant from team Divine Shield, Bessa.
“What?” Ayrin was baffled. He had no idea where he’d gone too far.
“He obviously lost already, why did you still have to rush up and keep punching him!” This slender girl said with even greater wrath.
“You’re wrong… I could feel that I had to give him several more punches, or else he would still have been able to continue fighting.” Ayrin turned his head and looked at the passed out Brook being carried away. “He’ll be fine.”
“…” Seeing Ayrin’s innocent appearance, Bessa’s anger suddenly vanished without a trace for some inexplicable reason.
She couldn’t see any deceit within Ayrin’s eyes. They were pure, only the instinct for victory in this match seemingly present there.
“Why on earth do you have to fight so desperately?” For some reason, she couldn’t resist asking this question.
“In order to protect.”
Ayrin spoke very naturally.
His tone made this girl of Divine Shield Academy a little moved, her heart banging in her chest.
