Chapter 8

“Urgh!”

“Urgh!”

Thomas and Brian both hit the floor.

Everyone focused on the two of them.

“They are draw.” Gary says.

“That means Thmas doesn't pass this test.” Sena says.

“Looks like you're all wrong. Your eyes are less observant.” Javin has a different view.

“What do you mean? Brian and Thomas had hit the ground together.” Sena doesn't understand.

Not only Sena, the others except Javin also saw the end of Brian and Thomas's fight, both of which hit the ground.

“The fight is over. The winner is Thomas.” Dixon announces the winner of the fight between Thomas and Brian.

“What?” Sena and others who thought the fight ended in a draw are surprised.

“You guys look carefully at Thomas's back.” Javin shows the reason for Thomas’s victory.

Everyone squint to look at Thomas's back. Even Gary and Felix crouch down to straighten their eyes with Thomas's back.

“Fantastic! Turns out Thomas's back doesn't touch the floor.” Felix says.

“Only half an inch away. That's almost impossible to do. Thomas only relies on the tips of his feet and palms.” Gary admires what Thomas has done to keep his victory.

“He's an interesting man. This is very interesting.” Sena is getting excited.

In the arena, Thomas and Brian get up. They had fought a fierce battle.

“I’m sorry, Senior. Are you okay?” Thomas helps Brian stand up.

“Do not be stupid. I'm just a little bruised. Your injuries are more than mine. Are you okay?”

“I'm fine. It's just a small injuries.”

“Your fighting style is so great. I'm very hassle fighting you.” Brian admires Thomas;s way of fighting.

“Hehe. I actually don't know any martial techniques.” Thomas is shy while scratching his head.

“So that's the reason your moves are so unpredictable. Hahaha. Good job, this time you won fight me.”

The two fighters embrace each other. They worry about the condition and praise each other's fight.

PROK! PROK! PROK!

“Good job. you guys fought really well. But there are still many deficiencies that need to be corrected.” Edward gives an appreciation of praise to Thomas and Brian.

“Thank you, Master.” Thomas and Brian say together.

Brian leaves the arena. Even though he lost, he is satisfied because he found a great opponent.

“Good job. You didn't lose in fighting technique. You're only less intelligent than Thomas in a fight.” Sena says, encouraging Brian.

“Haha. He sure is. He can adapt to various situations well. For the next opponent, be careful. His fighting style is not easy to predict.” Brian says, giving a warning.

“Hmm. Losing is still losing. No need to find any reason.”

“Thomas! Thank you, you have defeated this annoying person. I'll treat you to a meal later. Okay!”

Laura is very happy about Brian’s defeat. Her annoyance seemed to have paid off.

“Laura, don't be like that. Poor thing Brian. Better give this drink to him!” Raihana advises Laura.

“No! Just let him be thirsty.”

Brian sit down. He hold his aching back. When Thomas throw Brian, his back doesn’t  just hit the floor. Brian's back hits the corner of the arena floor. it produces a painful impact. If Brian even slightly misplaces the body when he falls, it will result in an injury to the ribs.

Sara approaches Brian. She knows what Brian is feeling on his back. “Mmm. Does your back hurt? I will help you heal it.”

“Okay. Thank yau.”

Sara puts her palms on Brian's back. The green energy from Sara's hand enters Brian's back.

Sara is a support fighter on the team. Her ability is healing physical damage. It can heal wounds instantly. This ability is very useful for maintaining physical condition in long fights.

Laura also approaches Brian, although with a sullen face. She points her hand at Brian. After that Brian is enveloped in dark green energy. It's an ability her have. Laura is also a support type fighter.

“Thank you. You are so kind.” Brian says while showing a happy smile.

“Don't think I care about you. I also did the same with Tristan and Felix.” Laura says, still annoyed.

However, Brian isn't offended. He still smiles sweetly. “it still doesn't change you're helping me right now.”

Laura turns her face away. her face blushes and still a look of annoyance.

In the arena, currently Thomas is fighting against Javin. This time Thomas dominates the fight.

Javin continues to be forced back. There was no chance for him to attack becauseThomas doesn’t give him any time to react. But there isn't a depressed expression even though Javin is under endless pressure.

SET! SET! SET!

Javin dodges backwards and sideways in Thomas's barrage of attacks.

‘Very hard to touch him.’ Thomas saya to himself.

SET!

Thomas takes a quick sideways step to the left, then hit a punch. Javin lowers his body to dodge the attack.

But Thomas smiles. That's what he expected. Thomas's attack quickly changes into a knee strike.

WES!

Javin is again able to dodge. He jumps back.

“What?” Thomas shocks that his attack can be avoided again. Since the beginning, none of his attacks hit the opponent.

Thomas doesn't continue the attack. He chose to observe the opponent and think of a way to defeat him.

‘Damn it! The pointless attack just now consumed a lot of strength. If this continues, my strength will be drained. I have to quickly find a way to take him down. But how? It makes me dizzy.’

Thomas doesn't have a clue to defeating Javin. Thomas doesn't have a clue to defeating Javin. His brain couldn't concoct an attack scenario. He had done various attacks before. But in vain.

“I can't keep quiet. I have to find a clue.”

Thomas prepares to attack again.

“Wait wait.” Thomas undo the intention to attack.

“Why hasn't Javin attacked me? whereas now is a good chance to attack me when my strength is drained.”

Thomas finds something strange in Javin that throws away the chance to beat him. That can use as a clue.

On the other hand, Javin doesn't take his eyes off Thomas in the slightest. His gaze is sharp and extremely concentrated.
