Ace Of Terrans

41 Reality.



Shi Lang went to sleep inside his room, with his body sore all over. He dragged himself to the bed directly. What he needed was to rest. The food he ate gave him enough energy, also the training inside the simulation did not consume much energy, however, his brain was stressed.

As he lay in his bed, the boy began to slowly comprehend the things he had learned in the battle today. He did not know when his consciousness failed to keep up and he fell asleep. The night passed very silently and the next morning he woke up with his body recharged with brand new energy.

He clenched his fist and after he stood up he threw a few punches in the void and warmed up his body. Then he mumbled, “I am close to breaking through to the next level.”

Shi Lang freshened up and walked back to the mess hall. He did not find any of the instructors on the way and quickly finished his meal. Then he made his way to the weapon practice area. The familiar simulation chair was missing, instead, a few weapon racks were placed at the side of the region.

He sighed and mumbled, “She was serious.”

“Did you think I was making a joke with you?” a bland voice replied to him from the side.

Yuu walked over and said, “I will fight you at a strength of six-stars Terran. You have to hold on for ten minutes and that will be considered as your win. However, if you ended up like a maggot on the ground, crawling on his tummy, I will be ending your sad life.”

Shi Lang gulped and nodded. He did not even sense her approaching him. The next moment the lady walked to the center of the battling area and said, “See the black line on the floor? That is the battling area. One step out means elimination, by that, I mean death. Understood?”

Shi Lang nodded as he had no other option. He did not even have his friends who could help him here. Since he had come over with his own decision to come here then he will see things through the end. With that in his mind, Shi Lang went to the weapon rack and picked up a spear.

Then he came to stand in front of Yuu, who also came from the other side, holding a spear in her hands. She was wearing common military training gear. A black shirt and black cargo pants paired with black jeans. Her hair still covered half of her face.

Shi Lang stood in contrast to her. He was wearing a white t-shirt, that stuck close to his torso, with a white lower and a pair of white sports shoes. He held the spear parallel to his body.

Yuu took the stance first. She directly pointed the spearhead at Shi Lang’s face as she held the shaft with both her hands and her legs were parted slightly. She lowered her body slightly to get a better center of gravity.

The boy against her moved his wrist and the spear came parallel to the ground. He still held it with one hand. Yuu did not comment on it. Yesterday, she had told him that it did not matter how the boy approached the battle, what stance he took, what mattered was the end result.

A gust of wind blew and the lady charged at Shi Lang. She used her quick speed and stabbed with the spear in her hand. The boy did not react. However, his hand jerked and the spear slid forward. Shi Lang held the seven feet long spear from the end of its shaft. He parted his legs and stabbed forward.

A good spear was not only strong but also flexible, so Shi Lang’s spear bent a little from the middle, but the boy seemed to have no problem. The bent spear in his hand seemed to have grown eyes as it collided with the incoming attack. The flexibility in the shaft did not hold it back but even helped in rebounding the attack.

Shi Lang was not only going to passively defend. He understood that the best attack was the best defense against someone as strong as Yuu. So, his attack commenced. The spearhead was stabbed at Yuu in quick succession. The attack was heavy and it was very precisely aimed at the vitals. Shi Lang knew this will not in the long run.

The opponent in front of him neither feared pain, nor wounds, if he kept attacking at the vitals then she will just charge at him while defending herself. She will not hesitate to trade blows with him. Given her physique, this will eventually play in her favor.

Shi Lang thought about something and it was at this movement the lady vanished from his sight. The hair on his back stood up as he sensed a wind blow behind him. He pulled back the extended spear in his hand and let go of his grip. Then he did a quick burpee and stood up. The spear was still being pulled back, Shi Lang took hold of the middle of the shaft and began to swing it around him as if a vertical helicopter rotor.

The burpee earlier was to avoid the spear stabbed at his heart by his cruel instructor. As he swung the spear the momentum accumulated and he moved forward deflecting the stabs aimed at him from all sides.

Yuu was surprised to see that she could not land a hit at him. Despite his ability to sense things from a certain distance, he was quite a rookie in her eyes. However, what she saw today was not a rookie but a full-fledged master.

Shi Lang had come near a weapon rack. He picked up a Kusarigama. This was a unique weapon. It had an iron chain, with one end hooked to the handle of a sickle while the other end had a heavy iron ball with spikes protruding from it.

Yuu raised her eyebrow, the unique the weapon the higher the difficulty to master it. Yet this guy picked up this weapon? She became curious and also by the way he was holding the weapon it seemed that he had a degree of familiarity with it. Kusarigama was not only difficult to use but also difficult to resist as the chain and sickle were tricky.

Yuu quickly thrust the spear in her hand forward, Shi Lang gently sidestepped and then he spun the iron ball end a few times in his hand, and when the momentum was satisfactory, he waited for Yuu’s attack to come. The lady did not know what he was cooking but now that he was able to react to her speed, she decided to see what he was cooking in his mind.

The next moment she stabbed the spear. Shi Lang took a diagonal side-step and before Yuu could retract the spear, the boy flung out his chain at the spear. The chain coiled around the shaft like a snake. Yuu had exerted her strength to retract the spear quickly, but now with the iron ball connected to the spear, she tugged at Shi Lang at the same time.

The boy did not resist but he timed it perfectly, the next moment his body flew forward. The instructor sensed something and gave up her weapon as she retreated. Shi Lang had taken a stand to slash with the Sickle at her. She retreated but gave up her weapon.

Shi Lang also stopped moving forward but he shook the chain and undid the bond on the shaft. The next moment he took hold of the free spear with his right hand and with a strong jerk he threw the spread at Yuu.

The speed of the spear was very fast and it sliced through the air. Yuu sneered and moved at a high speed. She underestimated Shi Lang, the boy broke the chain from the end of the sickle, and with a swing, he threw it away. It may seem like this move was random. However, the place he threw the chain happened to be where the instructor would stop.

This was a simple calculation, during the training yesterday, Shi Lang was not slow, he was calculating. Calculating the direction and the speed of Yuu when she moved, by noting the dust she left behind her steps.

Yuu stopped within one meter of the predicted spot and the chain tied itself around her leg. The girl was surprised and before she could react, a sickle chopped off her head.

Yes, Shi Lang killed Yuu.

The other instructors inside the monitoring room stood up in shock. Carlos asked in a shivering voice, “Yuu, lost to this brat?”

Charlotte Knight was shocked but her eyes were filled with brilliant sparkles. She said, “This is the reality. Go end the simulation. This kid needs special consideration.”

Shi Lang stood in front of Yuu’s corpse and said, “Are you alright, Instructor? Why has the simulation not ended?”

As soon as his words dropped Yuu’s chopped-off head attached itself to her neck and she asked, “How did you know?”

Shi Lang smiled charmingly, as she looked at the beautiful eyes hidden behind her bangs.
