47 Yales Mental State (1/2)

Sainac overlooked a lot of things Heruk did in the past, but that wasn't because he had feared his ancestor, he merely wanted to avoid internal strife inside the city that outsiders could use to attack.

However, Sainac was asked by the Mysterious Expert to take care of Ange, if she were turned into a slave of that arrogant kid, Sainac didn't doubt about the future of the whole city. Heruk was courting death with his words.

Heruk was shocked when he heard the chairman himself defending Ange and threatening him; he wasn't used to hearing that type of words.

However, he didn't dare to say anymore because Sainac could kill him before his ancestor managed to notice something was wrong.

Even if he liked to abuse the ones who were weaker than him, Heruk was a coward when the opponent was someone that didn't care about his ancestor; he feared death.

Swordmad didn't react at Heruk's words, he was like Yale and was only angered inside.

Swordmad thought of killing that brat due to his threats to Yale's sister.

However, when he saw Yale's expression, Swordmad understood that Yale wanted to be the one dealing with Heruk.

Both master and disciple had a tacit understanding that didn't need any words; both knew well the other's personality.

Furthermore, killing Heruk in the academy would be a problem with his clan, but if he died after going to the imperial city the things would be different, and Swordmad knew it.

Swordmad would let Yale deal with Heruk, but Swordmad swore that Heruk wouldn't come back alive to the academy.

If Yale weren't able to kill him in the special realm, Swordmad would ensure that some accident happened to Heruk.

Yale didn't know anything about what would happen after the tournament, but at least he wanted to beat Heruk in the tournament's match.

Even if Yale desired to kill him, he didn't plan to break the academy's rules.

Yale's desire wasn't anything strange, Heruk hadn't only crippled Zack; he also wanted to enslave Ange after she had healed Zack.

Yale hadn't been that angered in his whole life; he didn't care about the tournament or the Dynamic Quest, he wanted to reach the final to beat Heruk, anything else didn't matter to him.

Yale's personality had a huge change after his anger reached the peak.

Instead of losing control as should had been normal is most kids, his personality turned into a cold one.

Yale had very little influence from his past life memory fragments, but they still influenced him when his anger was high enough to make him lose his senses.

That cold personality when he was enraged was a trait inherited from his past life.

That was the second time Yale entered in that state; the first one was when he was dealing with Wyba's father.

However, at that time his anger was lower than the anger triggered by Heruk's acts.

Yale would only go back to his usual personality when he had been able to vent the anger inside him.

The next round started, and Yale went to the stage again.

His rival was the sword user who Yale wanted to battle before when seeing his battle in the previous round.

However, at that moment Yale only wanted to finish the battle quickly without wasting energy, he wanted to be in his best state to beat Heruk.

In the eyes of the spectators and his opponent, Yale seemed devoid of intention to battle.

Everyone thought that he was too shocked by what had happened to his classmate and lost the will to fight.

However, Swordmad smiled as he understood very well Yale's state of mind.

That wasn't because Yale's personality turned cold after got angered, but because of how was facing the battle.

”If you don't want to battle just give up the match, I don't enjoy beating weaklings.”

Yale's opponent seemed concerned about Yale's state; he didn't want to battle against an opponent who lost the will to fight because he wasn't a bully, he only liked battle against strong opponents.

As Yale had battled very well before, the sword user had high expectations of him, but after seeing Yale's current state, he thought that he overestimated him.

Yale didn't give up and also didn't reply his opponent.

He merely stood in the stage with a sword in his hand, but without any battle stance.

Even the referee didn't know if he should start the battle after seeing Yale, but as Yale himself didn't give up, the fight should start.

”The match starts!”

Yale stood in the same position while his opponent charged towards him.

Yale observed his opponent's movements and saw all his flaws, Yale felt as if the time slowed down, but that was only his perception.

That was a mental state every person who reached the expert stage in the sword was able to enter and to enter that state one time was the final key to advance into the expert stage.

Entering that state was extremely difficult, but as long as one's sword techniques became better, the possibilities of entering in the special mind state would grow.
