Chapter 145: Showing Off
Few days passed by after Angus managed to create his first rune magic card. Since then, Angus has become more proficient at producing the rune magic card and cutting down production time by half or more.
During the past few days, he kept focusing on making the rune magic card. He didn’t even have time to do some light training. He still communicates with Jayna through the communication device.
From Jayna’s story, it seems the others receive hellish training from the teacher. Fortunately, Jayna was exempted from it since she could manage to spar with the teacher for a few minutes.
However, all of that changed since the news about Jayna’s application is reaching King Leon. After arguing between the father and daughter, King Leon decided to send his Royal Guard Leader, Roy Flamberg, to teach them to ‘survive’.
If they don’t reach the criteria that Roy already decided, Angus and Jayna will be forced to house arrest until the secret dimension closes.
Because of this, Angus is forced to stop making his rune magic card and go back to the royal academy since the royal guard leader Roy is coming today.
Arriving at the royal academy, Angus immediately heads towards one of the private training areas inside the academy. The royal academy has few private training areas for personal use. While Angus is absent, Ian and others are having hellish training inside this training ground.
Arriving at the private training area, an extensive empty gymnasium facility, Angus found the others already training with the academy teacher. Meanwhile, Jayna is meditating at the corner.
Seeing Jayna meditating, Angus goes towards her and sits next to her. Feeling someone approaching her, “Angus, you are back.” said Jayna.
“Yeah, so when will this royal guard leader come?” asked Angus
“They should be here at any moment.” said Jayna.
“Ahh, I see… This is going to be troublesome.” said Angus as he feels someone coming.
“Huhh.. What do you mean?” asked Jayna confusedly.
Before Angus could answer, he suddenly moved away from his location. *BAM* “Kid, you are getting strong!!” said Ban while brandishing his sword at Angus’s current spot.
“Well, I just got lucky.” said Angus.
Looking at her sword teacher, “Teacher Ban, why are you here?” asked Jayna.
“To test you two. Actually, it should be just me. But, somehow this person heard about this matter and decided to come along.” said another person with a bulk appearance.
“Master Roy” exclaimed Jayna while looking at the appearance of the new person.
Before everyone could react to the sudden situation, they felt mana from Ban.
“Eat this [Sword Art – Air Pierce]” Many invisible air bullets shot at Angus in the blink of an eye. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*However, like predicting it before, Angus dodges every single of them easily.
“Stop dodging, kid.” said Ban while continuing his attack.
“Then, stop attacking me like a crazy maniac old man.” rebuked Angus while keeping dodging.
“Hohoho.. Such spirited youngsters.” said the headmaster Antonio who appeared out of nowhere.
Because of the commotion Angus and master Ban make, the other students also notice the arrival of everyone.
“T-That’s swordmaster Ban, the All-Seeing Swordmaster.” said Axel, who noticed the person who kept attacking Angus.
“Ehhh.. you that master Ban that is one of the strongest swordsmen in the human race?” asked Ian.
“Yes, he is the one.” said Axel.
“Then, how come Angus could easily dodge his attack?” asked Ian.
“If I am not wrong, it’s because that kid, Angus, already grasped master Ban’s fighting pattern. I don’t know how he did it, but it seems Angus could completely read master Ban’s fighting pattern, which should be impossible.” explained the leader of the royal guard.
“Kukuku… As expected, this kid is truly talented as a warrior.” said the headmaster looking at Angus’s performance.
“Oii.. Old man, stop this. You will never hit me unless you get serious.” said Angus.
“Alright-Alright, you win, kid. But, how come you could get that ridiculous strength in such a short time?” said Ban, stopping his attack.
“Don’t know. Puberty, I guess.” said Angus casually.
“Puberty, your ass!! If everyone gets strong through puberty like you, the human race will become one of the superior races in the world.” rebuked Ban while completely losing his calm.
“Ehem.. Master Ban, please mind your manner.” said Roy.
“Oii.. Roy, you may didn’t noticed this since you don’t have these magic eyes of mine. But, this kid’s physical power already surpasses the human limit. I bet he even goes toe to toe with a grade two monster using only his physical power.” said Ban.
Seeing that nobody believed him, “Kid, why don’t you show what you are capable of? Since you have decided to go into that secret dimension, why not show them a little bit of your strength?” said Ban.
“Hmm.. I guess that’s true. Headmaster Antonio, did you have something to test my physical strength?” asked Angus towards the old headmaster.
“Yes, we have. You can use this punching machine to calculate your strength by punching it.” said the headmaster while bringing the machine from his storage device.
Looking at the punching machine, “Is it okay if I somehow destroy it right?” said Angus.
“Hooo… Such a bold claim. Don’t worry. We have some spare of it. Just go all out.” replied the Headmaster.
“I see… Then, Let me test it.” said Angus approaching the machine.
At this moment, everyone is looking in Angus. They want to know the true strength of this famous mysterious lazy student.
Arriving in front of the machine, Angus touched the device using his fingertip like stabbing it. Then before anyone could blink, he hit the Machine hardly [1-Inch punch]. *BAM*
The machine couldn’t hold Angus’s force and cracked before being disassembled to pieces. Everyone who spectates this immediately surprises, especially the teacher and other students in the room since they had been using a similar machine a few days ago.
Looking at the destroyed machine, “Err… I guess I put too much force in it.” said Angus.
Seeing at everyone’s expression, “See.. I told you this kid is absurd.” said Ban.
“Hohoho… such a strong physical force.” said the headmaster Antonio.
“Interesting..” said the royal guard leader Roy.
‘I am sorry, my King. It seems I can’t prevent them from entering the secret dimension.’ thought Roy inwardly.
“Well, since I already show how capable I am. I will excuse myself.” said Angus as he wanted to go back to making rune magic cards. Every single second is precious for him.
“Wait for a second, young master Angus.” said Roy, stopping Angus from going.
“Emm.. Is there anything you need, Mr..” said Angus
“Roy, I am the leader of the royal guard that is supposed to train you. Although you have strong physical strength, you still need to learn some skills to survive. So, I can’t just let you go.” said Roy.
Hearing this, “Pfftt… Hahaha” laughed Ban and Jayna at the same time.
Looking at both Ban and Jayna laughing, everyone feels something is missing.
“*Giggle* *Giggle* I am sorry, master Roy. But, Even teacher Ban is lost to Angus when it comes to combat skill mastery.” explained Jayna.
“EHHHH!!!” shouted everyone.
“Well, I hate to say this. But, this kid uses many weird skills with superb mastery. Not only that, as you can see before, his battle instinct is also already above mine. Basically, he is the only one that may survive inside that dimension.” explained Ban.
Hearing this, Roy finally understands something. ‘Wait, don’t tell me his majesty once again trolling me. There is no way with his majesty’s perception, he will not notice Angus’s strength. I guess he still has a grudge when I disturb his bath time.’ thought Roy inwardly.
“Alright, then. If there is anything else, I will excuse myself.” said Angus.
“Wait, where are you going?” asked Roy curiously.
“I am going to create some rune magic and probably a few potions. You know, as a magician, I need to prepare for the worst before entering dangerous places like Endless Battlefield dimension.” said Angus.
Hearing this, everyone immediately thought, ‘Magician!! you are a full-fledged warrior type!!’
After that, there is no one hindering Angus from leaving. As Angus leaves the private training area, “Alright, since all of you already see how strong your friend is. I believe you all need some special training not to hold him down.” said Roy while smiling at Ian and others.
Looking at the smiling Roy, Ian and others didn’t know but somewhat had a bad feeling for the rest of the month.
“Now, what are you standing here for, maggot? Continue your previous training!! After that, you will get extra training from me.” shouted Roy
“Y-Yes, sir.” replied Ian and the others.
While everyone is doing their hellish training, “Alright princess, it seems now is time for me to impart some of my skills.” said master Ban.
“Although you may not fully utilize my skill, it is better than having nothing and will increase your chance of surviving that dimension.” said Master Ban to Jayna.
“Teacher Ban, you always say that dimension. Do you by some chance ever enter it?” asked Jayna.
“Not me. I only hear it from my father. But, I will say that my father is many times stronger than the current me, yet he still always thought he would never survive inside that dimension if he is going inside it again.” explained Ban.
