Chapter 244: The Ring Appears

He’s from the Gen Family too?

The man approaching towards them showed no signs of stopping. Cillin didn’t move and simply watched him as he walked closer and closer. Suddenly, Cillin’s pupils shrank as he angled his head slightly to look at a large tree next to the approaching man. Then, a woman appeared above the tree trunk.

The woman had short, tidy hair that didn’t go below the ear. Her gaze was sharp and created an invisible pressure on one’s shoulders despite the smile on her face. A serrated knife was sheathed inside her leather-made ankle boots.

Needless to say, everyone knew that the woman was a difficult opponent from how little noise she made despite landing on the tree at the speed she did. If Libero hadn’t seen her appear on the tree with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have trusted his hearing to catch her arrival.

Just like that, the woman folded her arms and watched Cillin’s group from the tree. The hint of a smile could be seen in her eyes. It was obvious that she was one of the previous term students.

“I see your younger brother’s here. No wonder you ran down this direction, Xingyao,” said the woman before a sweeping glance at Gen Xingming hiding behind Cillin’s back.

Gen Xingyao didn’t say anything. After he shot a glance at his younger brother, he focused his attention back onto Cillin.

Bel poked his head out from behind Cillin and asked, “Hey Gen Two, can you cut us a break here and pretend that you’ve never seen us?”

Gen Xingming kept quiet because he knew his older brother too well. There was no way his brother was going to let them go after he ran into them, so the only course left was to fight.

Seeing that Gen Xingyao was ignoring him, Bel looked up towards the woman standing on the tree and asked pitifully, “Please be merciful, Sula, big sis!”

Sula stamped her foot lightly against the ground, and the serrated blade inside her ankle boots was pushed into the air. Sula caught the blade between her fingers and shot a glance at Bel, smiling. “I’m very sorry, Your Majesty, but I cannot go against the rules. My pay will be deducted otherwise. You should know that the fixed allowance we students get isn’t enough to buy even a car door, so I’ll be forced into robbery if I lose this money.”

Knowing that there was no avoiding this battle, Bel, Gen Xingming and Ulaganuo backed off in unison. While they were retreating, Gen Xingming grabbed Teita by the collar and pulled him to the back too. They left the battlefield to Cillin, Libero, Ironhead and Walley.

Walley looked at Cillin and his team staying at the front and Gen Xingming and friends at the back behind a tree. Then, he ran towards Gen Xingming.

“Aren’t you going to fight?!” The Three Dissolute Musketeers stared at him in astonishment. They thought that all AF1 examinees would be proactive.

Walley shook his head and squeezed his way into Bel’s group. “Please open up some space for me.”

Now, Cillin, Libero and Ironhead were the only ones left facing Gen Xingyao and Sula.

Suddenly recalling something, Gen Xingming mustered the courage to run back towards Cillin and poke him, whispering, “Please don’t use those two things unless absolutely necessary!”

Then he ran back towards Bel and friends like his ass was on fire and waited for the battle to ensue.

When Gen Xingming said “two things”, he was referring to the PTS K and Cillin’s blade. Gen Xingyao was his older brother, but he also believed in Cillin’s abilities. He knew very well how destructive those two weapons could be in Cillin’s hands.

Cillin wouldn’t have used them even if Gen Xingming hadn’t reminded him. He had wanted to fight against another Gen family member since a long time ago.

Sula twirled the serrated blade in her hands and dashed towards Libero and Ironhead in an instant.

Even before the test, Libero already knew that they had no chance of victory against these previous term students if he maintained his current appearance.

That was why sharp spikes began bristling out of Libero’s body before Sula could jump them. Hardened, dark colored skin swiftly appeared throughout the surface of his body, and three rows of bone plates popped out from behind his back. The pointy ends of the bone plates were as sharp as swords.

Ironhead didn’t have bone plates like Libero’s, but his entire body shone with a metallic luster that made him look like a living metal in solid state.

“Humanoids?” Sula twisted her body in mid air after she came into contact with the bone plates behind Libero’s back. Tiptoeing on top of one of those bone plates, she spun around and popped out a steel claw from her wrist. The steel claw wrapped around Sula’s fingers like a glove.

Cheeeee——

Sula grabbed onto the biggest bone plate behind Libero’s back and heaved.

Bang!

The young man’s entire body was slammed into the ground.

Sula didn’t press the attack against Libero after the initial success. Instead, she dodged Ironhead’s punch and scratched her steel claw across his body. The steel claw screeched and sparked against Ironhead’s body, but it only managed to draw some shallow marks on his body.

Turning around and lying flat against a tree trunk, Sula glanced at her blunted weapon and tossed it casually to the side. The steel claw had already been damaged somewhat when she used it to grab Libero’s bone plate, and now it was unusable after the wear and tear it suffered from Ironhead’s metallic body.

These two humanoids definitely didn’t make it so far by luck.

Sula smiled and charged Ironhead again.
