Chapter 86 - Fierce Ray (1/2)

As soon as the fight had started, the ten people closest to Ray dashed towards him. Ray had a feeling that the other participants were watching him and he was right. They had planned to attack him together from the very beginning knowing Ray was too strong to defeat on their own.

As the first man swung at Ray with a sword. Ray instinctively put his arm up to block the strike. But as soon as the sword touched Ray's arm, his bracelets number display changed.

Although the strike didn't Hurt Ray at all, the system had counted the strike as a clean hit since the wooden sword made direct contact with his skin. Ray was currently using Ki to reinforce the strength of his skin but the first round was about skill, not strength.

Ray finally understood the words of Rose and thought that this would be difficult. It wouldn't be hard for Ray if he only needed to beat all the contestants but to do so without getting hit would be troublesome.

The man who attacked Ray was speechless. When his sword touched Ray's skin, it felt like he was hitting against a solid bar of steel. Ray quickly grabbed the man wrist and twisted it causing him to drop his sword. The other men all rushed in ready to strike Ray at once hoping to get rid of him quickly. Ray saw this and grabbed the other man's wrist.

The man tried to struggle away but Ray's strength was too monstrous. As the others came closer to attack, he lifted the man's body using him as a human shield. Each strike hit the man all over. His bracelet pinged constantly and started to display numerous notifications.

-10HP

-10HP

….

Until the number had eventually reached 0. The men stopped attacking so Ray threw his meat shield to one side.

”And we have the first contestant to be eliminated.” The announcer shouted.

The crowd started to boo. They thought Ray's tactic of using another person as a human shield was dirty.

As the score on the man's bracelet reached 0, a bright white light started to shine around his whole body and teleported him away. The bracelet was engraved with teleportation magic. It was set to teleport the students to a medical site near the arena once their points reached 0.

Ray was trying to figure out why these men had grouped up and aimed for him. Where they from pureblood? Or did they agree beforehand to group up together?

Ray then took a closer look at the men that were facing him. He recognised their faces well. It had been a while but he had promised himself that he would never forget their faces. One of the men who stood at the centre and in front of the rest was one of the first ones to throw an object at Ray.

The men currently attacking Ray were one of the groups that had put a lot of money on the fight between Gary and Monk. When Ray had stopped the fight, the group had promised they would get their revenge one day but after seeing the fight between Ray and Sebastian, they knew they were not strong enough on their own.

They had been waiting for this opportunity to strike Ray together. They couldn't do this in the academy as they only allowed one on one battles, so this was their chance.

What they didn't count on was how much stronger Ray had gotten in that time. Ray had been planning to hold back in the tournament, not wanting to draw any attention to himself, but their actions had brought back painful memories. After the attack by Pureblood, Ray wasn't going to let anyone off easy.
