Chapter 3 - #3 Spar with Silver (2/2)

I kicked off the ground and quickly dashed towards Silver. When I was near enough, I abruptly stopped, of course, I wouldn't be able to suddenly stop like that without redirecting the force somehow or stopping it by holding onto something. Therefore, I used that force to make a spin and perform a roundhouse kick with the additional power from the spin.

”Fuck!” Silver widened his eyes in surprise and quickly tried to block my kick with his leg covering his lower body and his arm together with the shoulder covering his upper body.

When my kick connected with his arm he immediately made a pained expression and was forced to retreat a few meters away from me.

”...Sorry, is it broken?” It didn't feel like I broke his arm but I still asked to have some kind of reason to stop the fight. If I just stopped with no reason while looking at his pained expression, it would only make him feel humiliated.

”Agh...No, don't worry about me, let's resume our spar.” He said and both of us rushed towards each other.

...

”Haha, I am back boys, sorry that it took so long but you wouldn't believe-” Aron came back wearing his new clothes while heartily laughing, however, he was immediately shocked by the sight he saw in the fighting pit.

”haaah” I was trying to catch my breath while lying on the ground with a drenched clothes.

On the other side, opposite to me.

”Fuuu...” Silver was regulating his breathing while sitting, his face was fully covered by the beads of sweat.

”...What the hell happened here, kids?” Arno jumped down to the pit and asked with a confused expression while looking in Silver's direction.

The emblem on his shoulder...violet? I haven't seen anyone else with that color yet. Anyway, my stamina is really shit. I could keep up with Silver, however, I lost in the end because of my stamina.

I thought while doing my best to regulate my breathing like Silver who was already on his legs.

”That kid...Arno, are you sure that he has yet to practice anything?” Silver asked him with a forced smile while tightly holding his arm.

”...You are a kid too.” Arno replied while looking down at Silver with a weird expression.

”Shit! That's not important!” Silver exclaimed in an annoyed tone for being made fun of by Arno.

”I already told you that he is a bit special but he never practiced anything. tell me what happened later for now...Hey kiddo, here you go” Arno replied to Silver and then threw an emblem at me.

Precisely it was a white lion however I found something interesting on it that others didn't have.

”Why does the lion have red eyes?” I asked while showing him the emblem in my hand.

”Well, you don't need to care about it for now. Once you will decide to join I will tell you and don't worry, it's nothing bad, on the contrary, it will help you in the future.” He said with a faint smile.

”What?! He is getting CRAZED ONES status?!” Silver immediately exclaimed with a shocked expression.

”That's right and it seems that 'he' wasn't wrong for deciding so...” Arno said while looking at Silver's injuries.

Silver just hung up his head in shame, not daring to meet Arno's eyes.

”Well, guys, about you help me a bit? I need a little warm-up.” Arno said with a wide grin.

”Umm...I am kinda exhausted so I would like to take a break...” Silver said with a forced smile and fear in his eyes while trying to leave.

Arno grabbed his head and stopped him from moving any further.

”Hehe, from what I can hear, your breath is already stable.” Arno said while tightening his grip.

”Aaagh, alright, alright!” Silver stopped resisting and accepted.

I guess he must be really strong that even Silver is so afraid.

”Alright boys, come at me, both of you at the same time!” He shouted at us.

Huh? Even me? Although I was already expecting that, I was still slightly surprised.

”Alright, let's go for our daily dose of pain newbie!” Silver shouted and rushed towards smiling Arno.

It can't be that bad, right?

I thought and followed right after Silver.

...

Fuck! Everything hurts after today's training, the most ironic thing is that the injuries that I have obtained from sparring with Silver don't hurt a bit but what hurt me the most are the injuries obtained from Arno.

That fuċker didn't spare us at all...At least he didn't hit my face otherwise my mother would pass out after seeing me with a black eye or broken nose.

Still...the sparring with Silver was really fun. If I remember correctly, I was even genuinely smiling. But I won't cloud my judgment with this. I will decide after thorough consideration.

CRAZED ONES...huh? I thought while looking at the emblem in white lion shape with red eyes.
