Chapter 233: Legolas Aurum (2/2)

Back then, Lawrence had the chance to rescue a pair of mother and daughter stuck on the roof of their house close to the Revoir River.

Unfortunately, he was threatened by a relative of a noble family member that if he went ahead and rescued that pair of mother and daughter...

He would make sure that Lawrence would be kicked out of the police force and his career, ruined. Lawrence couldn't afford to lose his job for he had a family to feed.

In the end, he chose to abandon the pair of mother and daughter which remained as a decision that he would deeply regret for the rest of his life.

It was because the person who had threatened him wasn't actually related to any noble family at all!

The pair of mother and daughter died in vain...

Lawrence had the chance to save them, but he didn't do so for he believed the words of that bastard.

Since then, Lawrence would often repeat the scenes of that day in his mind with what-ifs.

What if I didn't believe that person?

What if I went ahead and rescued them?

What would've been their lives by now?

Unfortunately, there were no what-ifs in this world, and what happened couldn't be reversed anymore.

It was after that realization did Lawrence grow to hate arrogant young masters.

”Uh, Legolas. Introduce yourself to your comrades.”

Deputy Instructor Eutem's words rang out.

Instructor Lawrence awakened from his trance.

He stared at Legolas and waited for the latter's response to Eutem's words.

”There's no need for me to introduce myself to these people. I am planning on going up the ranks as fast as possible, and I heard that I can challenge those that are at a higher rank than me, and if I won. I will be able to claim their rank for myself?” Legolas placidly said.

His words created an outrage among the newbies.

The girls who had admired her earlier had also awakened from their puppy love and were now staring at Legolas in a glare.

Legolas remained standing there with his holier than thou look on his face.

Instructor Lawrence was immediately angered, but he was quick to suppress it as he cleared his throat and replied, ”That is true. However, you've just come to this training camp. Are you sure that you want to fight against your comrades so fast?”

”It doesn't matter. I've been training since I was five-years-old. As for these commoners? I bet that it's even the first time that they've heard about Martial Arts!”

Legolas arrogantly declared.

”What the fuck, you bastard!”

”Hey, take that back!”

”Do you seriously think that we're that clueless? Fuck off!”

As expected, another uproar resounded.

”I see. Then, who are you planning to fight?” Instructor Lawrence asked.

Legolas immediately stared at Calvin and asked, ”Is that commoner ranked higher than me?”

”Yes.” Instructor Lawrence calmly replied.

”Then, I'm going to fight him.”

”Are you sure about that?” Instructor Lawrence's expression turned somewhat weird.

The crowd also stared at this scene with frowns on their faces.

Legolas naturally assumed that they were trying to dissuade him from fighting since Calvin was probably too weak when compared to him.

”It's fine, I will hold myself back. No matter what, I cannot possibly kill anyone here, right?”

Legolas shrugged.

A confident smile was plastered on his lips.

He had bribed a Police Officer earlier to measure his skills, and that Police Officer said that he was strong enough to be able to at least be in the top five among the newbies when it comes to strength.

Legolas was surprised that there were newbies other than Christine that was stronger than him.

But since the world was huge, he thought nothing of it and remained as confident as ever.

After all, being able to enter the top five meant that he could defeat most of the trainees aside from four people.

Speaking of the top fives... Legolas had forgotten to ask for the names of those people as he was basking in his arrogance. But well, it didn't really matter. Legolas only planned on giving one person here a lesson that he would never forget.

And it was to never try to eat the meat of a swan, while he was nothing but a frog in a well.

The newbies quickly formed a circle.

Legolas and Calvin stood in front of each other.

”Legolas Aurum, a member of the noble Aurum family. May the Goddess bestow eyes to our fists and feet, so that there will not be any untoward accident in this sparring.”

”In the Goddess's will!” The trainees cried out in excitement.

”In the Goddess's will.”

Calvin also softly mumbled into the air as he took a step backward and prepared a stance.

”Are you not going to introduce yourself?” Legolas took a stance and stared at Calvin in disdain, ”As expected of a commoner, you don't even know the etiquette of exchanging names and rank before the fight begins? What a joke!”

Calvin simply smiled. ”An introduction? Let's do it after the fight.”

”Heh, as if you will still be awake to introduce yourself by then!” Legolas barked.

Instructor Lawrence stared at the two and with a shout—the battle officially began!

Right as the final syllable of Instructor Lawrence's words fell, Calvin appeared right in front of Legolas.

”Fast!” Legolas bent his knees and took a step backward, narrowly avoiding the punch.

But before he could even start to think about his next move, Calvin had already appeared beside him and a kick came flying towards his torso.

”Shit, I won't be able to dodge it!” Legolas muttered in horror.

Calvin had perfectly executed this attack and he even yelled out its name.

”Pride Crushing Kick!”

Calvin's body moved and his left fist made contact with Legolas's liver, causing the latter to instantly collapsed onto the floor in great pain.

”AAAH!” Legolas miserably shrieked. ”You bastard... that wasn't a kick!”
