Chapter 291: Special type of magic (1/2)
Jugo was so mad that his first attack ended in a failure. And he was even madder that more seconds already passed. His intention of defeating his enemy in a second was just empty words now.
He proudly declared to his friends that he would become the participant with the shortest time in winning the round, and yet! He made a blunder to himself for failing to accomplish what he declared. He disliked to admit it, but. He became a man of no one word. Because of it, the trust value they had to him would be lowered considerably. As a man from a prideful race, the wolfman, this blunder brought a huge impact on himself. Rei-Rei and the others knew about it. They believed that Jugo was thinking along that line at the very moment. It was useless even if they would tell him that they were not thinking like that at him. The only way to lessen the negative feeling he had at the moment was to redeem himself by winning. Though it would never totally lift the heavy feeling he had, at the very least, it could subside a little.
He knew he could not take back what he already spat. But to redeem himself from the embarrassment from his failure, he must defeat his opponent in a single attack!
Regardless, his opponent did not take advantage when he was in a slight daze. Jugo thought that maybe this opponent of his knew that even if he did it, it was still useless. Their gap in magical and physical strength was just too vast.
The others, especially Instructor Goki, found it weird as well that Yman did not take advantage of the situation. He knew how clever of a person Yman was. But soon, they noticed the natural smile on Yman's mouth.
'Damn! Is he looking down on me?!' Jugo asked himself, full of anger. Even a pulse in cross-shaped emerged on his face. Never had anyone dared to look down on him. As a prideful wolfman, it was a big provocation to him. Anger surged up from within him.
If his main goal a while ago was to finish his opponent in an instant, now it is different. He wanted him to suffer a bit of pain.
”YAAAHHHR!!!” Dense mana burst out from his body along with a warcry.
In just a blink of an eye, his figure disappeared once again. Everyone saw claw marks left in the air, from his previous location towards his opponent. The audience held their breaths in a second before a loud cheer reverberated.
WOOOOOHHHH!!!
”Finally, done…” muttered the second wolfman in Rei-Rei's party.
After seeing the quick and powerful attack of Jugo, they expected that it was a sure-win attack. They also saw Jugo's enemy frozen in his position. It was those types of scenes that the animation of getting sliced came late. Jugo, on the other hand, skidded a few steps. But when he stopped, they noticed a puzzled expression on his face while staring at his hand or perhaps he was staring at his claws. But why is that?
”Eh? Why does he look like that?” Sonya asked.
Rei-Rei widened her eyes, ”Wait, could it be…” she muttered. Right after saying it, they saw Yman run towards Jugo. It wasn't a strong or fast punch but it connected on Jugo's face!? They couldn't believe it!
Bang!
