Chereads / A Retired Hero: New World Harem / Chapter 32 - (CHAPTER 31: TRAINING)

Chapter 32 - (CHAPTER 31: TRAINING)

"Today" I did a stretch before taking off my coat, revealing my smexy body. Hell yeah, luckily, I still keep my body in size since the past ten years, if not it would be an embarrassing moment. "The only way you prove yourself, is a competition before Christmas Eve." I showed them the poster of a Flag Capturing competition that is within due next week. "You had one week."

"It is, very, cold." The rest of the students shudder under the cold wind, with only a thin sheet of clothing onto them and their jacket taken off. Without any special training, not much could withstand such extreme temperature. "Five days, we will start our five days training, right now." I clapped my hands to gather their attention.

"Day one, Testing out. Since only four members will be allowed to participate, I wanted you all to give me your best shot." I prepared my battle stance while my trusty old katana form within my grasp. "Through the test I will decide which one will stay, and which one will go." I moved my fingers, signalling them to approach. "Come on, give me all you got. I won't hurt you."

"We had been searching for someone to express our "happiness." The kid that stood out yesterday stood out today, too, as he stood in front of his fellow classmates. Butcher knife, gladiator sword, gauntlet, lollipop mallets started to be conjure around them, I keep myself steady as I pulled the katana out and pointed at them while letting out a deep breath. Outside of the arena, Hanna is spectating beside us, she looks worried about me, one against twenty isn't such an easy feat.

"Charge!!" Right at that moment, twenty men dashes towards me, waving their weapons, emitting their skills, giving all, they got. Some stay behind to support the ones in front, some does the area control to narrow down my path while some charged headfirst.

"Edit..." I charged towards them too, with one hand I plunges my sword while with another, I raised it high. Dark matter started to from around my hand before I snapped my hands. The moment I did so, I disappeared, before appearing right behind the crowd. "Papercut." I plunge the katana into the snow beneath me, as the students fell to the ground, deep slice and cuts appear on them, red dyed the pure snow. Upon seeing this Hanna rushed towards me and grabbed my collar, while pointing at the heavily injured students, tears started to roll in her eyes.

"Heavily injured?" I almost laughed out load. "What do you mean? Miss Hanna." Hanna pointed at the students, trying hard to explain, but then she realised that none of them are hurt as they started to get back on their feet, one by one. She rub her eyes, and sure enough they are all fine. Not even a cut a bruise not a scratch, then the thing that happened before, is her eyes fooling her? "That is enough" I clapped my hands to get their attention. "Get back before you get cold."

"Damn!" The boy rubbed his torso, he could clearly felt his body being sliced, the tip of the blade piercing his flesh like butter. But when he get up, there are no wound, the blood remains though, the snow beneath their feet is still bloody red, but then… So confusing, what actually just happened? While he was busy fucking up his braincells, Hana walk amongst the students handing them hot towels and drinks. No matter the students love her, she is surely a waifu material.

"Alright" I stood up, staring at the list in my hand with a warm towel over my shoulder. "I got the list for the participants. Suga, Rain, Brock and Chara, stand up when I call your name, please?" Slowly, the four stood up from their seat. "Nice" I take a sip out of the hot tea, refreshing. "You four will be following me for the next four days. Staying after school, I will be taking major attention on the four of you." "What!?" The four protested. "Four days, it is impossible!" One of the girl rolled her eyes in disbelief, her name is Suga according to my list. She seems like a rich spoiled brat, with a lollipop always stuck up her throat. Wearing a puffy silk woven dress alongside a colourful dyed twin ponytail. Yep, definitely a brat.

"Four days, are more than enough." I place my list back onto the stack of paper on the teacher's desk. "And no worries, there won't be fighting everyday, just experience gathering and physical training." "Miss Hana" Rain suddenly spoke, guess Rain is his name of a brat that keeps hitting off my anger limits. "Can you help me explain why we are that disgusted about this event?"

Hana bit her lips before started to move her hands. "The competition was a foul" She pointed out. "They think that no matter how hard they try, they won't win, they will only be insulted if they participate." "Insulted?" I scoffed. "You, as a big man, is insulted? You surrender because you care about your dignity, and yet you let your dignity being trampled than these guys?" I asked out. "I sliced one of their arms into atoms because he insulted your teacher. What are you going to do if you were me? Huh? Staring at there? Watching? Inspecting and cheering cause you didn't wanted to get in trouble? Cause you refuse to get your dignity trampled on?!"

"I don't care what you say, I don't care what Hanna say, I don't care what everyone says. We are going in, and either we end up losing or end up winning, it is just that simple." I take up all my items before tossing down my last words and leave. Rain slams the table with his fist, cursing. The rest of the students didn't seem quite eager too. I walked down the hallway, within my hands were the four information of the students I specially choose for. I scanned down their data, their information, hoping to find a reason why they end up here as the lowest class of all scums and finding a way to help them.

This is my only way, if they didn't want to fight for themselves, no one will.
