41 Squad Leader, Han Lee 10 (2/2)
The skull masked man disappeared from thin air. Han felt something chilling from his back. He swung his spear to his back.
Tah!
The skull masked man traveled stood had appeared behind him the next instant. Han reflexively attacked him.
”Wha-what? He disappeared and appeared again!”
His squad members began to shout. Han looked to where the drill instructors stood.
'Those horrible drill instructors. I don't know who that skull masked man is, but he's not any pushover. He has the unique skill of teleportation. His skill range isn't that wide though.'
”Everyone maintain sight of one another so that we can counter attack against him when he appears!”
He made swift decisions. Teleporters commonly attack their opponent's back. The squad members kept each other in their view so that they could block against the skull faced man whenever.
Pah!
The skull faced man teleported to a place further away from Han. His psychic waves seemed hazier than before.
'Teleporting must require a lot of his psychic energy. This skill isn't to be used wastefully.'
Han observed his surroundings. Anxiety seemed to strangle his mind. It had been a brief moment, but a million thoughts seemed to have passed his mind. He grasped onto a tiny sliver of hope to win this battle.
”I'll block that mask. The rest of you join Jose's team.”
Han confronted the skull mask. He spun his spear. The arm that had broken had completely healed a few weeks back. He had slacked in weapon training all this time, but his condition was pretty good at the moment.
The skull mask tilted his head.
The skull mask said no words and simply looked on towards Han. That gesture meant only one thing.
”'You're going to block me by yourself?' must be what you're trying to say.”
Skull mask nodded.
”It seems you've forgotten, but today's battle is capture the flag. I don't have a reason to beat you today. I'll win as long as I don't lose against you.”
Skull mask twitched. Han had become confident from his response.
'This skull mask must not be a commander type. He doesn't fight using strategy and tactics. Then…'
Han's lips quirked up.
'The winner will be squad 13'
He maintained his distance against the skull mask. He maintained the furthest distance he could mange. The skull mask approached him using his teleportation skill twice. The skull mask had become restless from Han's words.
'The maximum distance he can travel is fifteen meters per teleport.'
Han purposely distanced himself to lure the skull mask to make him use teleport twice in a row. He didn't let himself get flustered and observed the opponent's skills.
Poo-f!
Listening carefully, he noticed a distinct sound the skull mask makes when disappearing then the same sound travels along with the skull mask to his final destination. Upon the first sound, skull mask's body blinks, then on the last sound his body would appear at the final destination.
'With focus, it's possible to figure out his final destination.'
Han kept his eyes wide open. He stubbornly blocked the skull mask's path. The skull mask became flustered.
”You must defeat me if you want to pass, Mr. Skull Mask.”
'How did he figure out the location I was about to teleport to? Did he manage to fully grasp my unique skill within this brief moment?'
Behind the mask was a fellow peer. Skull mask started to focus on fighting against Han. There was no reason that skull mask couldn't beat him. Rather, skull mask had already transcended the combat level of the second years.
'He's strong. I feel like I'm battling against Drill Instructor Wei. I'm already up to my neck trying to block his attacks.'
Skull mask attacked with his twin swords like a hurricane. He linked together consecutive attacks without a moment of rest.
Kang!
The spear that Han held to defend against the raining attacks slipped from his hand and flew into the air. The skull mask mercilessly stabbed Han's abdomen. The attack wasn't strong enough to penetrate into his chest, but his organs felt like they were being crushed.
'Han, focus!'
Han opened his eyes wider as if he was reprimanding himself. His eyes glowed into a blue hue. He used his telekinesis to grab his spear that was up in the air. Gravity accelerated the spear's speed of attack into the skull mask's neck.

Pook!
Skull mask fainted on the ground. He had completely lost consciousness from the attack.
”Haa, haa. I finally managed to make him faint.”
Han said while trying to catch his breath. During that moment, squad 13 had infiltrated into squad 6's command center and managed to steal their opponent's flag.
Squad 6 didn't have manpower to stop the flag bearer of squad 13. A message announced squad 13's victory the next instant.
