Chapter 149: No Excuses
"I'll begin by protecting that future by surrendering this battle."Ryan froze, and for the first time in what felt like forever, his composure slipped. He searched Darwin's face, looking for even the smallest hint of deception. When he found none, the realization struck him harder than any punch could have. The undefeated champion, the man who had never backed down from a single challenge and was willingly laying down his title.Ryan instinctively looked toward the platform when Odessa had been watching the entire exchange. Although she couldn't hear their words, she immediately noticed the subtle change in Darwin's posture.The aggression was gone, and his stance had relaxed. Confusion immediately spread across her face, and her eyes met Ryan's from across the arena.Ryan didn't move but gave her a small nod.Meanwhile, around the arena, whispers were beginning to spread, and the crowd had waited nearly forty minutes for the fight to resume. Watch the two fighters do nothing except
Chapter 148: Old Champion
“You weren't expecting that, were you?” Ryan's calm voice sliced through the silence hanging between them, dragging Darwin from the maze of thoughts consuming him. For a second, neither of them moved, and the enormous arena, which had trembled moments ago with anticipation, now seemed trapped in stillness, with thousands of spectators watching from every direction, expecting fists to fly at any second. Instead, the two strongest fighters simply stood facing each other, separated by only a few steps and unanswered questions. Darwin stared at Ryan as if he were the definition of uncertainty, and everything he had believed over the past few weeks was beginning to crack. His suspicion surrounding Ryan's arrival had shattered, and none of it aligned with what he had just witnessed. Ryan had thrown himself into danger not for glory, not for power, but to protect the academy itself, and that realization weighed heavily on Darwin's chest. Ryan slowly unclenched the fist he hadn't realized
Chapter 147: He knows
For the first time since the battle began, neither of them attacked, and the arena slowly grew quiet with whispers and confused chatter roaming the air.Even the students shouting moments ago found themselves leaning forward with confusion. And furrowed brow at the paused fight.Darwin stood several meters away, with his eyes panning to Ryan. "You destroyed it,” he growled. "You used this academy as cover while carrying out an operation that ended in mass destruction."Ryan's jaw tightened, but he remained silent."You abused everything this institution stands for."For a second, silence lingered through the premises until Ryan laughed, and the sound echoed through the arena. "You call that mass destruction?" His laughter faded and his eyes became terrifyingly calm. "I destroyed part of an organization poisoning this country with illegal substances!” He spat.Darwin remains silent with a twisted face."Me! I destroyed something no government agency dared touch!” His chest rose with e
Chapter 146: Answer
His answer came in as another attack, and Darwin's fist slammed into Ryan's crossed forearms with enough force to send a jolt of pain through both of Ryan's hands. The impact muffled across the arena, and Ryan's boots scraped against the ground as he staggered backward.A wave of cheers erupted from the spectators."There it is!" A voice yelled, raising both hands across the arena."That's the Darwin we know!" Another voice followed, and the crowd immediately started a loud chant.“Darwin! Darwin!”Ryan clenched his teeth, feeling the pain spreading through his forearms. At this moment every successful block against Darwin's strength felt as though the bones in his hands were developing fractures and his muscles trembled involuntarily. Still, he refused to let the agony show on his face.Across from him, Darwin lowered his stance, his cold gaze never leaving Ryan. "You came into this academy," he said, his voice slicing through the short distance. "And yet you've broken so many rules
Chapter 145: Fight
The sound of the starting bell rolled across the arena before fading into the suffocating silence across the space. Thousands of students held their breath, and every gaze was locked onto the two figures standing within the circular arena.Ryan stood motionless with his black mask concealing the upper half of his face, leaving only a pair of calm, unwavering eyes visible beneath the hood. His breathing was slow, yet every muscle in his body was prepared to explode into motion at the slightest threat.meters away, Darwin stood with his hands hanging loosely at his sides. Nothing was intimidating about his stance, yet everyone present knew that was exactly what made him terrifying.The massive timer suspended above the battlefield began its steady countdown.00:05Neither of the fighters moved, prompting a series of whispers to spread through the audience."Why aren't they attacking?" A voice muttered in curiosity as they panned at muted figures."I've never seen Darwin wait this long.
Chapter 144: Nikolaia Threat
“That is what Odessa, the council hehhad's sister, claimed,” the commander replied. At the mention of the name, Nikolaia’s gaze slid across the platform toward the student section reserved for academy representatives. His eyes found Olisa, then moved beyond her as though expecting to spot the twin sister responsible for interfering with his plans. “Odessa,” he repeated, the name edged with disdain. “The council listened to a student?” The commander folded his arms. “Not just any student. Odessa is one of the academy’s oldest legacies. She knows how much this institution means to the people who built it. She made it very clear she does not want to see the academy handed over to new management.” Nikolaia snorted. “That explains her resistance. It does not explain why anyone with sense would take her seriously.” “She wasn’t emotional when she said it,” the commander replied. “She was certain, and that’s why the council hesitated.” Nikolaia stared at him for a long moment, then lean
