Chapter 234: The Outside World Is... Scary (1/2)
”You bastard... that wasn't a kick!”
Legolas held his stomach. He directly collapsed from the pain.
He didn't even manage to showcase the Aurum family's Martial Arts before he was knocked down by his opponent.
The pain was unbearable, Legolas wanted to stand up but when he saw the sinister look on Calvin's face that seemed to warn him that if he stood up—he would experience more pain.
Legolas obediently lied down
Damn it…
I came here to show off not to have my ass handed over to me!
Inspector Lawrence and Deputy Instructor Eutem stared at each other. They were unsure if they should declare that the fight was over, or let it continue and run its course.
Inspector Lawrence stared at Calvin for a moment.
The latter immediately understood what he meant.
Kick his ass more while you have the chance!
Calvin was in tacit agreement with the instructors. Someone as arrogant as this Legolas Aurum would harm the overall quality of the police force. However, if someone managed to bring his arrogance down to a notch and force him into submission.
The police force could surely use someone as talented as Legolas.
Yes, talented…
The Aurum family might not be able to contend with the Allana family in regards to Martial Arts. Their members surely were on par with the talents of the Allana family. To be honest, the only difference between the two was their Martial Arts.
Martial Arts in the Joselian Kingdom were ranked as follows: White, Orange, and Black.
Each of these levels had its own small levels separated with Low, Mid, and High.
The Allana family's Martial Arts could be considered to be at the High-Orange Level, while the Aurum family's Martial Arts was at the High-White Level. Now, one might say that the Martial Arts of the Aurum family seemed to be incredibly weak, but that wasn't the case at all.
These Martial Arts classifications were decided by His Majesty, the King himself. Furthermore, the strength of the Martial Art wasn't the only thing that His Majesty had in mind whenever he judged a Martial Art's strength.
The Allana family's Art of Wind-Chasing was stronger than the Aurum family's Oriental Fist in overall capability due to the fact that the Art of Wind-Chasing could do a variety of things.
The control over the wind that the Art of Wind-Chasing granted unto its user made it incredibly useful in battle since it could be used defensively, offensively, and in escaping.
The Oriental Fist of the Aurum family on the other hand only had a single purpose.
And it was to kill.
They were indeed stronger than the Allana family as killing machines, but it has to be known that strength alone wasn't enough to win battles.
There were a lot of factors that could easily decide who would become victorious in a battle, and the Oriental Fist just wasn't covering enough bases that it could be ranked higher than its current rank.
Calvin received the signal from Instructor Lawrence and he moved forward for the finisher.
”Wait!” Legolas raised his head and shouted.
But the word he yelled out wasn't the word that Calvin was looking for, so Calvin continued his attack.
”I—”
Legolas lifted both of his arms and was about to surrender when Calvin's fist landed on his sternum.
Swoosh!
The impact from the attack sent him rolling a few meters away.
”D-Did he just surrender?” Calvin stood dumbfounded and stared at the trainees.
They immediately shook their heads.
”Oh, so he hasn't surrendered yet? He sure is a tough cookie, eh?”
Calvin casually remarked and he started to approach Legolas.
”No, please! Let me say some—”
Swoosh!
Legolas rolled backwards once more.
”Why are you not letting me speak, you com—”
Swoosh!
This time, an uppercut sent him flying into the air.
While he was in the air, Legolas could see the mocking look of the other trainees.
His fury was ignited.
The Oriental Fist of the Aurum family was only supposed to be used in life and death battles, but Calvin had gone too far. Not only did he humiliate him, but he also wasn't allowing him to say anything! This was an unforgivable crime!
Legolas cried out in his mind as a crimson aura enveloped his fist.
Instructor Lawrence, Deputy Instructor Eutem, and Christine's pupils constricted.
The Oriental Fist of the Aurum family!
The three of them moved at once. This punch must never land, or else someone will die!
How brazen!
Instructor Lawrence was furious.
But Legolas was just falling down so fast as he brought down his fist directly towards Calvin's head.
There was no mistaking it—if this fist landed, then Calvin's head would burst like a watermelon.
He would die instantly.
'The Oriental Fist of the Aurum family… It's been so long since I saw that Martial Art.”
Calvin felt melancholic in his heart. He could still vaguely remember the scene when the Aurum family made their last stand against the invaders. Their berserker-style of fighting inspired the hearts of thousands, but alas… the Aurum family still lost in the end and Ashmelion finally fell.
Calvin was already at the Capital City of Laguna when he heard the news about Ashmelion's collapse. He could still distinctively remember the accounts of witnesses as to how the Aurum family remained on the battlefield until the bitter end.
At that time, his Majesty himself posthumously honored the Aurum family and carved their names on the Ancestral Tablet of the Joselian Kingdom.
