Chapter 344: Chapter 344 vs Roland.

{Welcome everyone to our last day of the competition. Man, I didn't think it would end this fast}

As usual, the female emcee energetically announced today's schedule, facing many spectators when some of them were an important figure.

They were already informed about the schedule and were a bit disappointed about it, but in exchange, they will witness some students who fight well. Also, the elite of the academy will take turns duelling each other to show the world how their performance was and to showcase their talent.

{...Okay, in today's duel opening, we will welcome someone special from the academy fighting against the champion of the Martial Competition this year; we will welcome Soma}

A chorus of cheers resonated within the stadium as they saw Soma, wearing his uniform, calmly walking away and then standing in the Arena, observed by many curious gazes as to what kind of person who won over the other this year was.

Of course, for those who watched yesterday's match, it was still fresh in their minds how Soma directly destroyed half of the Arena, showing his full potential.

They were anticipating what kind of battle he would show today and who would be his opponent.

Then, as the curiosity peaked, and everyone in the venue turned to look at the other tunnel where the opponent came out. Their eyes bloated as they saw Roland wearing long loose clothes that were perfect for intense movement.

"I hope I was not too late".

{Yep, for today's duel, we will conduct a duel between Soma and our headmaster, Roland. The strongest student and the strongest teacher will battle each other. I wonder who is going to win?}

Roland waved his hands, responding to his students and people who cheered for him and admired his figure.

"No, you just got in time".

Without further ado, Soma began his preparation as he spread his feet, putting his battle stance.

"Why so impatient, let's take it easy shall we?".

"I'm sorry, but our class has something to do with tomorrow's festival, so I will pass on your offer."

As soon as he finished saying his piece, Soma exhaled and sharpened all his senses to their limit; from the start, he intended to give the duel his all.

The venue turned silent as heavy pressure came from Soma, who suddenly took the duel into another leap.

Roland was baffled, but he replied with a slight bow before preparing his stance. It was a relatively strong stance while his aura leaked out.

{Woah, it seems both of them are raring up to do the duel, so, Teacher Lee, I leave it to you…}

Lee appeared from the side of the Arena and then shouted his instruction.

"Duel Start!".

Soma and Roland neither of them wear their equipment and decide to fight using their own flesh as a Martial Artist.

In a blink, both of them disappeared and reappeared within each other's range. A shadow of a fist appeared in Soma's sight, which he dealt with calmly by tilting his head to the side.

However, when the fist loosened its finger as it spread out, forming a tight palm which Roland swung to the side, trying to sever Soma's neck.

Soma lowered his centre of gravity and prepared his counter in the form of a palm strike, but Roland found out as he brought down his palm to deflect the strike and grabbed Soma's wrist tightly.

Roland's pulling force made Soma lose his balance for a bit. Then he saw a knee run straight toward his face.

Noticing the grave situation he was in, Soma jerked his head to the side and rotated himself within that split second before launching his body up and countering with a spinning kick.

Roland stand still used his other hand to block it and release the grip on Soma's wrist, which made him leap back.

This time, Roland took the initiative and began to pursue Soma, relentlessly engaging in close combat, with style.

They could hear the lively atmosphere, the chorus and the adrenaline that heightened the two contestants further, narrowing their sightedness in focusing on each other.

Soma noticed a slight opening as he side-stepped to the side and launched a swept punch, connecting it with Roland's ribs.

He did indeed hear a crack, but it was not Roland's ribs; instead, it was the brooch he held in his pockets.

Roland got blown away for a few meters, regained his stance, rushed forward in an unexpected way while holding his ribs, and dashed forward like a mad bull, then using his shoulder to crash himself with Soma. Continue reading at M V L

Luckily, in time, Soma managed to cross his arms to protect his front area, but he got blown away a dozen meters.

"Fuu, that was tough. I don't think you are this strong".

"Well thanks".

Soma lowered his hands and controlled his breath, trying to calm his raging power from running amok. Part of him seemed to want to test the new technique he still couldn't master. "Let's see how Roland will react first, hm?!".

Beyond his sight, Soma saw Roland roll his long clothes, and on his wrist, there was something coiling around and when Roland released it with a click.

'Bang!'

Those phenomena blew his conception, and he wanted to retort loudly that this was not some serial in a Ninja Manga.

Another 'bang' echoed, which made the entire venue cheer. They magnanimously took the bait.

Not just in his wrist, Roland began to take off the weight on his ankles and show him some shadow boxing without restraint.

"Wooh, I feel free".

"Nice swing and gimmicks you got there".

"Well, thank you".

"Oh, I am not complimenting you. Just want to spit that's all!".

Soma kicked the ground and shortened the distance between them. Roland seemed happy with the occasion as he grinned and faced his opponent head-on.

Without his restraint, Roland's movement was the fourth time faster and heavier since it made Soma's skin crawl every time he dodged it.

But, if it was in terms of basic stats, the two were almost the same. Roland, who is certified as an S-rank awakener, has at least a hundred in his statistics.

However, as time passed, Roland felt that his current strength was not enough to deal with Soma, who still dealt with his attack calmly. "This kid!? "

Feeling alarmed, Roland unleashes his full swing of a punch that makes the air tremble upon impact on Soma's palm. "As I thought he was".

With a bit of squeeze from Soma, Roland knit his brows in wary as he leapt back, distancing himself from Soma.

After regaining some distance, he clenched his fist a couple of times and noticed he was sweating and had a hard time accepting what was in front of him.

Roland glanced at his opponent and saw him ready, retracting his fist back and letting his palm up, provoking him.

"Hurry up!".

His heart thumped, and it reminded him of one of the emotions a human has when facing an absolute peak: admiration and longing. But, despite all of that there is also a feeling of envy. 'No, nore playing!'.

"Here I come, Soma!".

All of a sudden, Roland's body puffed and slightly enlarged before returning to its normal state. But the intensity and fierce power exuded enough to make the Arena tremble.

Inside the VIP room, Viana observed the duel with an intriguing look, as she had never seen her husband act like that before his opponent.

"Truly, remarkable. Show me what you have in hands, Soma".

"Let's go, Soma!!!".

Meanwhile, on the other side, Serafina, holding her smartphone in her hands, pointed the camera to the Arena, recording the match to be sent to Xiao Rui, who was curious about the result.

"Even the Headmaster is no match, huh".

Hina sighed, as she never expected the duel to turn out like this. She looked to the side, watching Xiao Lian's absentminded gaze. "It seems she found her answer." Hina muttered in her heart, smilling as she happy for her friend.

Xiao Lian, unaware of her friend's gaze, kept her look straight at the boy whose body was coated with a thin layer of crimson glow, which compressed into a single point.

One thing for sure is that her heart keeps drumming wildly while looking at his figure.

"...Soma".

Her words, soft and melodious, made even the flower bloom in winter as she clutched her chest.

"You finally take this seriously, So, do I!".

Soma circulated his internal energy toward his veins, enhancing all of his body's performance.

A crimson layer covered his entire skin in just a moment before condensing into his right fist.

"Here I go, Headmaster!".

"Kuh, Bring it on!".

Roland noticed something dangerous; his instinct kicked in, letting him lunge toward Soma.

However, his attempt was already too late, and he saw Soma coldly whispering.

"Don't die on me!".

With a single stroke, a crimson aura released. It travelled in a straight line before colliding with Roland, creating a massive burst of shockwaves that raised the dust in the Arena.
