Chapter 429: Group Battle Part 1 (1/2)
The next day, almost every single student and teacher came to the school. They all had one thing in common… Witnessing the power Kai Carter had that allowed him to become Lieutenant General and kill an S Rank Magical Beast.
In the auditorium, close to four thousand people were waiting for the match to start.
”I wonder what kind of fight will we witness today?”
”Right. If the media is allowed to be here, I think every single of them will enter this place.”
”Either way, many bring their camera, so I'm sure it will go all over the internet pretty soon.”
”I agree. This is a huge match after all.”
The auditorium was filled to the brim. Even some teachers and students needed to stand. Suddenly, the commentator, who turned out to be the same commentator that hosted Kai's previous battle, entered the arena with Shirotsuka Sanae.
”Test, test, test. Anyone can hear me, right?” He asked while testing his mic. ”Yep. I think we can start. Teacher Shirotsuka, thank you for accompanying me for this match.”
”I'm their instructor, so I will tell you what I know.” Shirotsuka Sanae nodded with a serious expression.
”Alright.” He grabbed his mic, stood up and shouted with excitement. ”Ladies and Gentlemen. Today, we will witness a legendary battle between Lion Group and four Top Groups, Golden, Tempest, Grace, and Slayer groups.
”I will be your commentator for today's match. Let me introduce myself. I am Diego from the Studio Group. Teacher Shirotsuka, I wonder what do you think about this match?”
”I am not sure myself, but knowing Kai Carter's character, I think he has something he wants to show to all of the people here. I will try to discern what he wants to say and tell it to you guys. I hope I won't turn it into a lecture.” Sanae chuckled.
”Oh! Such a relaxed attitude from the king.”
”No. Not attitude; it's his duty. No matter his rank, I believe this fight has two purposes.”
”Two purposes. May we know about these two purposes?”
”The first is to settle everything with the top groups.”
”Indeed. My blood is boiling to see what kind of match they will have today. What's about the second purpose?”
”It's for all the people here. He is a third-grade student, so he must think he has a duty to teach something to his juniors. After all, isn't this the original purpose of this fight? They want to show the experience of the seniors in this school, so the new students can learn?”
”I see. So, that's how it is.” Diego became even more excited as he shouted. ”Do you hear it guys? I know that you want to cheer someone in this battle, but don't forget to take a note, okay?”
”Without further ado, let's call the fighters out.” Diego then pressed the button on the table as the sign.
Kai and his group, who had been standing by this whole time, noticed it and nodded at each other, entering the training capsule.
”Oh, oh! This is it. I was once a commentator in his battle as well, so my happiness went through the roof when they told me that I could do it again.” He then zoomed the camera to Kai and his group. ”As you all can see, they are the remaining members of Lion Group: Kai Carter, Michelle Graham, Kudo Ayaka, and Evan Young. I wonder who will fight who, considering that they are required to kill all the enemy groups by themselves.”
”I have insider information, so I think it's fine to tell you guys. Kai Carter will be fighting the Golden Group. Ayaka has the similarity to Slayer Group, so she will handle them. Meanwhile, Michelle will handle the Tempest Group. Evan deals with the last one.” Sanae explained with an uninterested expression after laughing so hard the moment she heard Evan's mission.
”Anyway, I think we should start the battle right now. What do you think, Teacher Shirotsuka?”
”Yeah. That's fine.”
”Alright! Without further ado, let's start this battle in 3…2…1…” He pressed another button on his table to inform the fighters about the battle.
Kai and the others turned serious as Kai commanded. ”Just like our plan. I will take the left and Michelle will be the right. Ayaka and Evan will handle their opponents in the middle.”
”Understood.”
The group nodded as they started moving to their position.
Kai's battlefield turned out to be a forest. He knew what his opponents wanted to do and adjusted his plan. ”I see. This is good enough.”
Five people arrived before him as they stared at Kai intensely as if they were ready to murder him.
Kai smiled and looked at this group that consisted of three men and two women. ”So, I think we can settle it as soon as possible. What do you think?”
”You're dead.” Samuel gritted his teeth and shouted. ”Start.”
A blue-haired female suddenly leaped to Kai's left and created a blue magic circle, shooting ice spikes toward him.
Kai didn't have a change of expression as he avoided the attack effortlessly.
Suddenly, a muscular guy appeared above him and slammed his body against him, trying to pin him down.
But Kai stomped the ground and grasped the man's head, stopping his momentum.
”What? He is this strong?” The big man was bewildered as he never expected that Kai could stop his momentum this easily. This meant that behind his small build, Kai actually held a monstrous strength.
Before he landed on the ground, Theo spun his body and used that momentum to launch the big guy toward the female.
