Chapter 252 - Experience (2/2)

They had been listening to these guys for a while now bragging about this and that so much their ears hurt. Now that Remi made fun of the guys, the girls couldn't help but laugh about it.

It was one thing to insult a man in general. Guys did it to each other all the time since that's just how it was. But hearing one rather attractive woman insult their manhood while other women laughed at them, it was enough to hurt their fragile egos.

Without another word, thirteen b.u.t.t hurt men charged at Laz in an attempt to prove their worth.

Laz couldn't stop smiling.

:Remember when I said you needed more practical training? Well, make sure you and all the other members of your guild pay attention.: Laz sent this thought to Julia, knowing that she would hear him. One of the reason he never used this way to talk to other infected normally was because it was hard for a weaker person to block out the spiritual voice of a stronger one. Even if you were stronger, it wasn't like you could totally block out the voice coming from someone else. Therefore, using spiritual sense to convey a message was like the equivalent of yelling in someone's ear when they weren't expecting it. Even if the voice was soft, if you couldn't block it out, it might as well be shouting.

Hearing Laz talk to her this way, Julia, who had been very nervous, relaxed.

The men scrambled over, knocking over tables and chairs in an effort to prove themselves. Their energies covered their bodies as though each man was equipping a suit of armor. Seeing this, Laz laughed. It was a total waste to just have energy surging out of you body with the only practical use of it was that it made you look cool.

Not that Laz hadn't done it in the past, but still.

Either way, the men were using their 'energy armor' in an effort to distort Laz's aura so that they could get close to him. With all of them acting in sync, they felt that their plan would work.

They were further boosted with confidence when Laz's aura suddenly disappeared, causing them to charge forward without pause.

It wasn't that they had broken it, it was Laz who concealed it.

Bam.

The first guy reach Laz and tried punching him in the face like an idiot. Laz didn't even bother to block and stepped forward while kicking out, causing the man to fold like a banana and shoot backwards.

The second and third to arrive immediately thought to team up. One man with a stronger body went to lunge forward and lock Laz up in a pin while the other went in for the kill. Laz simply grabbed the collar of the one looking to grab him and twisted his body, causing his rush to be diverted into the other man who was attacking from the side, causing them both to go spinning as their heads bashed into each other.

Laz didn't even bother waiting for the other nine to attack him as he stepped hard on the ground and shot forward, causing the wooden floor to snap.

Using nothing more than the most simply of martial arts, Laz punched, kicked, threw, and palmed his way through them.

In less than ten minutes, all thirteen men laid on the ground in various states of pain. The worst ones had broken bones while the lightest injured had just been knocked out.

'I could have finished this in less than a minute if I just killed them all...' Laz thought to himself.

'Wait... did I just think that?' Laz was momentarily distracted by his own violent thoughts. He couldn't worry about that now though and turned around to face Julia, noticing a twinkle in her eye.

:It doesn't matter how much power a person has if they don't know how to use it,: Laz said, revealing his thoughts to her.

She understood. Laz hadn't used any more or any less force than when he normally sparred with her. In fact, it even looked like he had barely tried when it came down to it. Had she been in his place, she would have been able to do the same.

That's what she understood. She knew that these men were stronger than her energy wise which was why she always avoided them. But seeing how they actually fought, she knew that didn't have a clue how to actually use there energy in their attacks. Had Laz been serious, he could have killed them all within moments.

Laz then turned her attention back around towards Remi and noticed she was looking at him as well.

”You are more interesting than I thought. Remi is happy!” The girl stood up, and walked over to Laz, standing right in front of him. It was only know that Laz was able to appreciate that this young woman was rather cute in her own way. Her hair was almost like a snow white while he wore high rimmed, red glasses. Although her body didn't scream s.e.xy, she was decently developed in all the right areas and gave off a rather aloof but dominate personality.

And apparently she enjoyed referring to herself in the third person.

”You knew they had no idea how to fight, didn't you?”

”Of course. Why do you think Remi took over this little boy group so easily?”

”That's the how. What's the why?”

”Why? Why did Remi do this? Well... because everyone here makes really good cannon fodder for Remi,” she replied back with a smile.

'Oh right. F.u.c.k.i.n.g nuts. Why did I ask?'
