39 Natural selection VII (1/2)

'This is it!' Excitement surged Nero's mind.

-

Since he had fought the Rank 3 Vulture, a new passion had seemed to come alive in Nero.

To Battle.

Pushing himself into a risky situation brought a thrill Nero could get addicted on. He had no fear of the chance of losing his life from his actions, the concept of regret had been wiped thoroughly from his mind.

And it couldn't come back.

If he did have such a concept, Nero would never have even been able to come out of the endless wallowing that would be brought upon by thinking of the massacres and 'inhumane' things he had performed on others.

This wasn't something planned from before by his old self, it was something lost when perfecting his genes.

The core information stored in one's genes was based around 'survival', and it seemed like removing any instinctual forms of Regret brought upon an increase in Nero's survival rates.

In any case, Nero had found a new form of entertainment for himself. A dangerous one.

-

The girl had been a little shocked at Nero's actions but became even more sure to push herself, for she had felt the excitement from Nero.

The boundless desire to give it everything he's got.

Just thinking about it, Felicia amped up even more.

Just as the referee gave the go-ahead, both candidates accelerated towards each other.

Felicia's halberd was the longer weapon, making her attack the first.

A single horizontal slash at the right height made most people defend but not Nero.

With his physique, he easily lunged forwards, his body becoming like an aeroplane as it advanced over the sweeping Halberd.

Nero went for stabbing instead of slicing, inching closer to the girl's body.

The audience was extremely interested in Nero, thus most of the eyes were on the junior ring.

Nero was surprised by the halberd's blade appearing out of nowhere right as he was about to pierce into the girl's neck.

The halberd had been swiftly pulled up and in like a whip, it was clear Felicia had great proficiency in using the weapon.

However, what she didn't account for was the strength behind Nero's Katar.

Her balance had been greatly affected but Nero couldn't jump on the opportunity as he also had to stabilise himself after the lunge.

immediately after Felicia became steady on her feet, she stabbed forward her halberd with a swift and precise motion.

'A chance to parry!'

Without Nero's strength, parrying such an attack would be impossible for a child.

Nero spun himself to the left and, like swords, used the flat part of the daggers to avoid the blade. He was defending with daggers like they were swords, and this was all when he was in a forward motion.

Nero had narrowly evaded the halberd's blade and closed in on Felicia in a matter of moments, this was what real battle was like.

Every move was ruthlessly fast and decisive.
