Chapter 404: Uno shows his initial might (1/2)

...…

”Remember my name well because I am going to take your life later,” said Uno before standing up straight and stretched his body a little, trying to adjust himself with his current state.

After that, he fell into a deep thought while muttering. ”Let's see what we have this time.”

A few moments later, he started grinning from ear to ear as if he found something interesting inside Shin's body. ”Look at this, this punk really got some goodies inside him yet not utilizing it properly. He really is an id*t, heh!”

Meanwhile, Javed suddenly became enraged for being ignored once again. He glared at 'Shin' for a moment to see what this guy was thinking. But he finally lost his cool when he saw that he was really being treated like an air.

”You really gone insane, huh?” yelled Javed before stomping his foot on the ground, launching himself forward with a great speed.

Swoosh!

Just like earlier, he immediately arrived in front of Uno in just an instant. And right after arriving, he raised his fist over his shoulder while enfolding it with his Natural Force.

He planned to throw it at Uno so that he could smash this guy into pieces. But before he could even throw that fist, he suddenly saw the latter looking back at him with a smirking face.

Seeing that look, Javed suddenly felt a very dangerous feeling coming from Uno's body. It even sent an intense chill on his entire body.

Due to that, he forcefully stopped his punch and quickly hopped backwards to create some distance in between the two of them.

Then he stared at Uno with a shocked gaze, trying to understand what just happened. 'What was that? Why did I suddenly stop attacking?'

He was currently in a very confused state. But after a few moments of thinking, he suddenly became even more enraged since he felt very humiliated. 'What? Me? Running away from a kid who has a lower Martial-Art attainment than me?'

Gritting his teeth, he glared at Uno with a very fierce look on his face while saying. ”I don't know what kind of trick you use, but there is no next time.”

He just finished saying those words when he suddenly took another move. This time, he was not planning to attack with a different approach. He didn't know why, but he was sure that there was something wrong with this kid. This kid was giving an entirely different vibe than the first time they met.

Given that, he used his speed to confuse Uno before appearing on the right side while throwing a very strong punch. Just like earlier, this punch was reinforced by his Natural Force. And if it managed to land at the latter's head, he was sure that he was going to blow it into pieces.

Unfortunately, his punch hit nothing but air. Or to be more precise, it just passed through Uno's head, signifying that threw his fist at an afterimage.

Meanwhile, the real Uno was currently ducking right in front of him pulling his arm backwards, planning to throw a counter punch. But he was unable to throw it since Javed quickly retreated the moment he realized his mistake.

Seeing that, Uno couldn't help but scratch the back of his head while complaining. ”Geez, 'cheesing' an expert with higher Martial-Art attainment is really hard.”

His voice was quite soft and supposedly meant for himself. But Javed had sharp senses since he already had a quite high Martial-Art attainment. And naturally, he was able to hear what Uno had said to himself which made him even more enraged. 'Cheesing? Did this kid think that he is above me?'

On the other hand, Uno seemed not to notice Javed's enraged state. He just put both of his hands inside of the side pockets of his pants while calmly walking at the center of the room.

Stopping there, he looked at Javed with a sarcastic tone. ”That movement technique of yours is quite interesting. Will you mind showing it to me for another time? I didn't get a clear look at it earlier.”

Javed started to lose himself for being provoked by a mere kid who was only in the Core Formation Stage. But he still managed to calm himself down after a few moments. He knew that Uno was purposely provoking him so that he would become careless and show some weakness.

Seeing that his opponent immediately recovered his cool, Uno couldn't help but clicked his tongue, cursing. ”Tsk! Such a pity. That is supposedly a good opportunity.”

At this point of time, Javed was sure that he was not facing a completely different person than before. Now that he finally calmed himself down, his special talent was now working perfectly once again.

This talent was not that powerful – it was actually quite useless in battle, but it was able to help him measure his opponent's full potential.

From his point of view, each person had an imaginary companion that only him could see. And these companions represent an individual's talents.

Earlier, when he first saw Shin, what saw standing behind that kind was a huge white tiger with a majestic appearance. It had a glowing crown on its head, signifying that it stood above everyone else. The pairs of angelic wings on its backs represented that it could fly towards the heaven and even bore the right to challenge its authority.

But right now, Javed saw a slightly different type of beast standing behind the kid.

It was still a tiger – but this time, the furs that it had were completely black while the stripes on its body were in an even deeper shade of black. It also possessed a pair of wings on its back, but instead of angelic wings, this black tiger had a pair of huge bat wings which was spreading widely. Meanwhile, its eyes were completely the same as Uno's eyes; purple pupils with irises that had a vertical slit shape.
