Orion vs Jordan [2]

"I-I do-don't need it..."

Orion meant that it was useless for him to use a sword, but Jordan interpreted it in another way.

"What did he say ?"

Vincent was speechless.

"Can't believe it!"

"He looked down on Jordan, RIP."

"Is he stupid ?"

His classmates wondered if Orion had a death wish.

"Idiot..." Anna muttered.

She knew what Orion meant. That's why she was feeling frustrated by Orion's choice of words.

"Man, he's really gonna die at this rate."

"He was a good guy..."

"Don't talk nonsense guys!"

Austin replied to his friends and turned toward Orion.

He was still weak from his fight against Riona, but he would stop Jordan in the worst case.

Jordan glared at Orion and put more mana on his sword.

Sizzle!

Whoosh!

Jordan closed the distance faster than before.

Orion took a step back.

Seeing that, Jordan swung his sword.

But Orion rolled again, but in Jordan's direction this time. Jordan was surprised, so he missed his attack again. He angrily turned around and...

Bam!

Orion gave jab after jab at Jordan's nose.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Left and right jabs came one after another.

Orion put all his mana in his hands, so speed and strength was something even Jordan would have a hard time following and defending against.

Then he quickly channeled his mana on his right elbow.

Bam!

With his right elbow, he hit Jordan's jaw.

Jordan felt dizzy, it was the first time he had seen such a fighting style and it was also the first time it was used against him.

Taking advantage of Jordan's dizziness, Orion put both his hands behind Jordan's neck.

Orion was short compared to Jordan's but he barely reached his neck.

Then he lowered Jordan's body by the head. With his mana's shrouded right knee, he hit Jordan's stomach.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

He dealt four consecutive strikes and immediately jumped back.

All of his blows happened in merely five seconds.

"Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah...ah"

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Orion's breath was ragged and his heart was hammering in his chest.

Drip_ Drip_ Drip_

Blood flowed from Jordan's nose.

"""..."""

A silence of death spread in the garden of the Solaria Palace.

They were all utterly shocked by what happened.

Orion did something, no one could reproduce in their class. Even Riona was shocked, as it was the first time she had seen such a fighting style. And even more, when it was Orion who did it!

In a mere five seconds, he counter-attacked and made Jordan, one of the strongest in the class, bleed.

"Im-impossible..."

Vincent was the more shocked one as he knew his brother's strength.

"H-hey, isn't that Krav-Maga ?"

Jake asked loudly.

"Y-yeah I think it was that, but how did Orion know that...?"

Jaxon replied with a stunned expression.

For him, Orion reproduced martial art almost perfectly and it was a shocking fact. His movements were smooth and fast.

"O-Orion practiced Krav-Maga ?"

Isabel asked Anna, confused.

"I don't know..."

Anna replied but her gaze was fixed on Orion's figure.

Orion, still out of breath, was looking at Jordan, who had his head lowered.

Jordan raised his head and Orion felt chills running down his spine.

Jordan's eyes were red from rage and a big vein was showing on his forehead.

He was feeling humiliated, not only was he hit by Orion but he also bled.

Thud!

Letting out his sword falling on the ground, he put all his mana on his legs.

Sizzle!

Lightning crackled around his body.

Whoosh!

He disappeared from his spot and appeared right in front of Orion. Then he closed his fist.

"Wha...?"

Orion couldn't even follow Jordan's movements and he was already before him. Since he couldn't dodge, he put both his arms in front of him protectively.

Bam! Crack!

Orion felt immense pain in both his hands as the bones' cracking sound resonated. Moreover, lightning was paralyzing his body.

Whoosh!

He flew at high speed and rolled on the ground.

"Cough!"

When he stopped rolling, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ar-are you okay Orion?!"

Elena, who was near him, rushed to him.

"Da-Daisy, we have to save him!"

"Calm down Elena. Here, give him this elixir."

Daisy said handing her a vial.

Elena took the vial and opened it. Then she raised Orion's head and fed him.

"Cough!"

Orion coughed slightly but gulped down the liquid.

His injuries slowly closed and his face gained color.

Orion opened his eyes slowly and saw an extremely beautiful blond-haired and blue-eyed girl looking down at him.

"E-Elena...?"

"Are you okay, Orion ?"

She asked with a hint of worry.

Looking at her face from close-up, Orion couldn't help but notice that she became more beautiful than before.

It was the same for Aura, Anna and Sienna. They became more beautiful in a month, slowly reaching Liana's otherworldly beauty.

'Could it be because they became stronger...?

"Orion...?" Elena tilted her head at Orion's thoughtful expression.

"A-Ah! Yes so-sorry, I'm fine th-thank you!"

"Don't worry about that, it's normal."

Elena replied with a smile. Now her guilt had receded a little at least.

"Oh, Austin is here!" Daisy suddenly shouted.

"What?!"

Elena immediately stood up and Orion's head, which was on Elena's lap, fell on the ground.

Thud!

"Ouch!"

Elena checked her surroundings. Austin was still far from her and his sight was blocked by her other classmates curiously looking at them.

Realizing that she had fallen into Daisy's trap, she apologized quickly.

"I-I'm sorry Orion!"

Elena knelt before Orion's slumped body and checked his head before glaring at Daisy.

Daisy smiled at her teasingly.
