Tanner, Brad, and Chip all walked towards Hugh with frowns on their faces. Their actions were clear to everybody present in the classroom.
Their fists were closed up and their body language meant hostility. Hugh turned towards them and did not back down.
All the students in the classroom stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on the commotion that was about it happen.
Aric had been away for a long time, so he could not control the three guys. They run a mock without any regulations, creating chaos in the classroom.
once everyone saw that they had their eyes on Hugh, they knew that things were about to go down. They did not want to participate in the fight because they did not want to get rin trouble.
The students around them started to put their chairs away and store them in the corner. They knew that they would get in the way if they stayed in the center.
Hugh stayed in his place and observed his surroundings. Inside his mind, he was calculating the best course of action with this kind of environment.
He could see that the space they were going to fight was small. He did not have a lot of freedom to dodge away, so he took that into account.
There are chairs littered around the space, so he considered using them in his fighting plans. His experience in the dungeon taught him to use his environment to his advantage.
Although Hugh got stronger, it was still too much for him to fight three people at the same time. He would have no problem fighting one on one. He could even defeat them two on one, but three on one was too much.
He would have to be mindful of every action that his three opponents would make because they could easily catch him off guard.
Thankfully, he had a way to nullify their numbers advantage. With his eagle eyes, their movements would be in his direct sight and they could not hide anything from him.
Brad stepped forward and faced Hugh. He had a Mohawk and his skin was full of tattoos that showed underneath his uniform. He closed his eyes and focused on manifesting his Desire.
Something started to grow on Brad's head. It was colored red and blue, and it had a shiny luster. It looked like a helmet that protected his skull and his forehead. His face was protected by steel bars on the helmet.
His shoulder started to get bigger until it turned into shoulder guards. His uniform changed into the same color as his helmet, and there was an embroidered number zero on his shirt.
Everything that Brad wore changed into blue and red color. Even his shoes were changed into spiked shoes.
Hugh recognized this kind of attire from an ancient game he had read in some book. He remembered that this was from a game that was popular in one country, and this was its uniform.
If Hugh remembered it correctly, the name of the sport was 'American Football.'
Brad bent his body low and touched the ground with one hand. Hugh could feel that Brad was gathering all of his power on his legs to explode into a dash.
"Hut! Hut!"
Brad shouted some words and started to dash towards Hugh. His shoulders were at full force, intending to crash into Hugh.
Brad's explosive speed was fast and he turned into a blur. If Hugh had been caught off guard, he would not have been able to react quickly.
Thankfully, Hugh was ready to intercept Brad. As soon as he saw Brad bend down, he knew that Brad would attack. He activated his eagle eyes just in time and saw every bit of movement from Brad.
Hugh's first instinct was to dodge away from the dash. This would be an effective way to counterattack Brad because Brad would only be able to dash in one direction.
He activated his armor on his legs, but when he was about to dodge away, he saw something move on his eagle eyes.
Chip moved in the background away from the commotion in the front. He moved in stealth so that Hugh would not see him. He acted as soon as he saw Brad move so that he could surprise Hugh.
Hugh could not dodge away from Brad's dash because he would be attacked by Chip to the side. Hugh was not flustered and he changed his plan to dodge away.
Chip ran towards Hugh and reared his fist backward. His limb extended into his full arm span, but it continued to extend abnormally.
Hugh could see that Chip's elbow changed into a steel color and it spiraled into a spring. His spring was very similar to the nose ring that he wore.
Chip continued to run and extend his arm until he reached Hugh. In one swift manner, the spring in his arm retracted back into its normal shape, and it caused Chip's arm to launch towards Hugh.
Both of Chip and Brad's attacks were coming towards Hugh at top speeds. It prevented Hugh from dodging away from the attacks, so he had no choice but to confront the two attacks.
He activated his armor on his left arm and used it to guard against Chip's attack. Chip smiled when he saw Hugh tried to guard against his attack.
From his perspective, Hugh was forced into a corner. He assumed that Hugh was still in the same rank as him, which meant that as a higher-level talent, he would be able to defeat Hugh.
He expected his arm to punch through Hugh's defense and hit Hugh's head right in the nose. His fist collided with Hugh's armored fist and he felt immediate pain.
The collision made Chip wince in pain. He used all of his force on punching, but it seemed like he had punched a concrete wall.
Hugh's guard was still up without any problem, and it looked like Chip's punch did not do any damage to him. In return, Chip felt some of his knucklebones crack a little.
With Chip's attack defended, Hugh only had to worry about Brad's dash towards him. Hugh put his shoulders to the front and readied to receive Brad's attack with his own shoulders.
At this rate, Brad would collide shoulders with Hugh. Most of the students watching did not realize that Chip had lost the exchange with Hugh.
They all assumed that Hugh was insane for trying to parry Brad's attack with his own shoulders. Hugh knew that he was far stronger and more resilient than his opponent, so he was confident in winning against him.
Hugh activated his armor on his right shoulder, and his left leg. His leg was his support that would hold against the force that Brad would inflict on him, and his shoulder was his main weapon.
With his eagle eyes, Hugh could see when Brad would collide with him. He waited for the right time until they would clash shoulders, then he would attack.
With the explosive power of his left leg, he dashed towards Brad and clashed shoulders with him. Brad thought that he would win with brute force because he was much stronger than Hugh.
He expected Hugh to be able to defend against his attack for a second before he triumphed in power against Hugh. He was generous in his assumptions only because the armor on Hugh's shoulders looked strong.
*boom*
As soon as they collided, Brad felt an immovable force that went against him. Even though he was the one who had charged towards Hugh, he was the one who felt like he had been run over.
Hugh felt a strong resistance from Brad, but he was able to overpower it thanks to his armored leg. He continued to exert more force until he felt Brad's body flung away from his force.
Brad felt his shoulders hurt for the first time in a long time. He had always trained his shoulders to be as strong as possible. He would even crash through walls to prove his strength, and he would never feel pain from it.
This time, he felt like all of the force that he had put on Hugh was reflected to him and multiplied multiple times.
His bones could not take it anymore, and it was displaced from its joints. Brad's face contorted in pain as he rebounded backward, feeling the pain from the collision.
Right after Hugh collided with Brad, his instincts immediately told him of danger. Unfortunately, he had just attacked Brad, so he did not have enough time to react.
Tanner appeared right next to Hugh. Tanner opened his jaws wide and started to suck up the air around him at top speeds. It was not long until Tanner's body blew up like a puffed-up pufferfish.
Unfortunately for Hugh, he was caught in the middle of Tanner's attack. Tanner blew himself up right next to Hugh, so Hugh was flung away from the expansion.
