Chereads / His Promised Neverland / Chapter 22 - Head Soldier Phoenix

Chapter 22 - Head Soldier Phoenix

The minute he entered the Arena the soldiers in the few Head Soldiers looked at him as if he was a virus or a disgrace ...

A few had a few smirks thinking about bullying the new guy as he didn't even emit any terrifying aura or spiritual pressure ...

'Tch why'd they make this pathetic thing a Head Soldier ...' one of the bulky Head Soldiers turned and looked at him with a nonchalant expression ...

He approached the group of Head Soldiers with slow steps .. and with each step the Head Soldiers couldn't stop frowning and cursing him inwardly wondering how could a high authority name this worthless trash a Head Soldier especially when he didn't even emit spiritual pressure or energy ....

"Hey there ... the name's Theo .. how did you do ..?" he kept his eyes closed imitating anime characters with his smile shining brightly ...

'Tell me .. why did I even agree to become Head Soldier in the first place ..?'

he cursed inwardly insulting himself to his satisfaction ...

His eyes trembled a bit whilst he closed them without opening them ...

'Seriously ... respond already ..!!' he shouted in his head trying his best not to open his eyes ....

'Tch'

just then the bulky Head Soldier approached him with his heavy steps causing him to forcefully open his eyes ...

"Chadwick Smith ..." he extended his hand for a handshake waiting for Theo to shake it without problems ...

Theo then extended his hand as well shaking the bulky Man's hand ...

'Damn this guy's hand so tight ...' he thought trying to keep on his best smile ...

"Nice to meet you .. I hope we become friends ..." just as he said that Chadwick released his grip around his hand ending their handshake ..

"We have no time to become friends ... this is a military .. not a playground .." at that he turned his back on him and walked into a distance continuing his rough training beating up dozen metallic robots ...

'Oh he's strong alright ...' Theo though as he looked at the robots flying into the wall each time he released a punch ..

Whilst he was still distracted watching Chadwick ... he felt a rough hand on his shoulder trying to tighten its grip .. but unfortunately for the grip it's strength was a bit too little to try and hurt his shoulder as he turned around only to see a chuckling fit guy behind him trying his best to smirk as he continued to increase his strength to squash the puny infant Infront of him ...

"Oh hi ... what is your name .." Theo turned around slowly with the guy's grip loosening like he didn't put much strength into it ...

He was shocked with his words and his strength yet couldn't say it out loud ..

'Tch ...' the guy looked into Theo's eyes acting unafraid by Theo's unfathomable hard body ...

"H-Head Soldier .. Tony Garcia ..." he then put on a stiff smile ...

The other Head Soldiers looked at Theo with disgust and disgrace ... whilst most female Head Soldiers wanted to meet their new handsome Head Soldier ... but they couldn't because they couldn't sense any spiritual energy in him as he seemed to have good looks and no power ...

They then continued with their training hastily trying to avoid Theo as much as possible ...

"Hey you ...!!" Theo's ears picked up a shouting voice behind as he started to turn around to look at his secret admirer ...

To his unfortunate luck .. it was the girl who had said some hurtful things towards captain Rose ...

'Didn't think I'd meet her again especially after what happened earlier ...'

he tried his best to ignore her by walking at a fast pace approaching the weapons board ...

his interest piqued as he could sense some energy flows inside these weapons that were a bit weird and weak to his perception ...

"Didn't you hear me calling you .. Your Beautiful Captain won't save you now ..."

The girl said holding Theo's shoulder turning him around forcefully ....

"Oh hi ... I didn't see you .. there ... you just arrived ..??" he asked rubbing the back of his head with a faint smile trying to hide away his nervousness ....

"Tch ... you insolence .. you even try to lie to me ... who do you think you are ..??" the other Head Soldiers around looked at the girl with frowns and fear as they felt something increasing slightly inside her energy causing the whole place to turn eerie .....

'Isnt using abilities forbidden ... ?' one of the Head Soldiers thought looking at the girl ....

"Uhm I don't know what you're talking about .. let me just continue my tour around the Arena ..." Theo said trying to wrap up this madness and go far away where the girl won't be able to reach her ...

Just as he turned around again .. the girl's spiritual energy suddenly bursted out of her restricting movements from the other Head Soldiers who were cursing at her inwardly ...

However when they turned their heads with sweat pearls running down their faces they could see Theo walking into the corner seemingly as if he wasn't even restricted by her spiritual energy ...

'What ...!!!? he's supposed to be down by now ...' Head Soldier Tony exclaimed inwardly looking at Theo who kept looking at the wall as if everything happening now wasn't even happening and it didn't even involve him ...

Meanwhile the girl's mind was filled with unending thoughts and questions that could only enter her head and leave her clueless ...

However despite being shocked she was frustrated by the fact that her spiritual pressure couldn't put Theo down ....

She tried to calm down but the more Theo turned around and looked at her with a ridiculously weird calm face she couldn't help but erupt with anger and embarassment .....

"Head Soldier 60 000 .. Theo .. I challenge you to a match .. if you lose I will hand over the title to a deserving soldier ..."

However even after saying those words with her booming voice Theo didn't even bother to fiddle with her words ....

"You know .. there's a rule inside the military that says ... if one individual challenges the other individual ... they can't refuse they can only solve this by fighting the challenger ..." a smirk built up on her face but there was still no movements made by Theo ....

With only his behaviour the Head Soldier couldn't help but increase her spiritual pressure intensively causing the other Head Soldiers to frown in pain as their bodies continued lowering to the floor with sweat running down their faces to their sweat soaked clothes ....

But alas Theo would turn around without any restriction causing her to further increase her spiritual pressure until to the limit where she realised that Theo wasn't affected by the spiritual pressure .... other than that it seemed as if Theo never felt even a tiny portion of her spiritual pressure ...

Suddenly from her back sprouted enormous orange wings that had a few magma glowing veins ok them ...

A moment after they had fully sprouted a smirk appeared on the girl's face when light blue electrical energy started going up into her wing's veins causing them to twitch slightly before they ignited with a ferocious ... orange flame that made the Head Soldiers to suffocate ....

Finally Theo then turned around only to lift an eyebrow ...

'Eh? .. so literally these people have unique abilities like elements and stuff ... which means captain Rose might have an elemental power hidden ... but then why didn't she use her elemental ability ...?? even if they're forbidden in the military ... they couldn't be forbidden outside the military as well right ...'

"I Head Soldier Clara Phoenix challenge you Head Soldier 60 000 Theo to a battle ..... that's said what would happen if you lose ..." her smirk grew even wider whilst her spiritual pressure broke through its limits because of the erupting energy of the flickering flame which was ferocious and furiously hot .... increasing the hotness by many degrees ...

"Ok then ... I guess I can't run away from this ... but what do I get in this if I win ..?"

if the other Head Soldiers had the energy to laugh they would because Theo was going up against Head Soldier number 10 000 .. who was the number ten in the high ranking board for the Head Soldiers making her an important figure in the eyes of many Head Soldiers ...

"Tch .. since you're so confident ... I will make sure that the other high ranking Head Soldiers know about my approval of you becoming a Head Soldier ..."

Although her instincts told her that this was a bad idea she couldn't listen to the little voices that could make little things major .. unnecessarily

With that Head Soldier Phoenix wasted no time and their countdown reached zero signalling them to clash and charge ...

She flapped her huge wings with force making her speed accelerate as she charged at Theo who stood there with an unusual stance ... his left hand was pushed forward as if like when she attacked he would strike her back with a palm attack which was considered one of the most weakest energy techniques ...

his other hand slightly back as if he looked like he was holding a powerful punch from getting released ...

The more the Head Soldier Clara got close the more her instincts made her mind run wild as she felt a finger pressing on her nose ....

The power in her body dissipated and her energy was disturbed by Theo's doing by restricting her to use her energy with only his finger ...

'What just happened ...' the next thing that she didn't expect was a powerful punch in her stomach which sent her out flying out into the Arena's metallic wall causing it to make a human shaped dent ....

the only thing that came out of their mouths were gasps whilst the spiritual pressure fell down decreasing it's effectiveness after Theo had knocked out the Head Soldier Clara ....

"Oops I didn't mean to overdo it ..." he said with an apologetic smile ...

the head soldiers immediately called the medic group to attend to Clara's aid who was refusing to get their help only to collapse unconsciously in the arena ..

When the other Head Soldiers turned around .. they could see Theo infront of them looking at the Head Soldier who he had just defeated as if he didn't mean to do it ....

'I got carried away didn't I ..' he thought cursing at himself inwardly ...
