This time Frank didn't bother to dodge. He was mad. These guys underestimated him and it was very annoying.
Frank wanted to show them that he was not to be underestimated. He wanted to show them that he was truly strong.
He wasn't like Joey, who had a variation of the firebird dance technique, nor was he like Jack, who had a lot of techniques and secret skills hidden away.
He only knew a few skills, but with those, he would take down anyone that came his way.
"First rapid," Frank said in a loud voice as he and the other candidate collided once again.
"boom"
Frank had managed to push the other candidate back a couple of steps this time.
"Arg," the candidate groaned in pain. He wasn't expecting that punch to hurt.
But
Before he could look up one more time, Frank was already rushing toward him.
"f$uck" the candidate hurried to block
"four-mountain stance"
This move was one mainly used by the nobles. It emphasized using the arms and legs as mountains to block attacks.
When Jack saw that, he frowned and looked worriedly at Frank.
"boom" they collided again and this time neither of them were pushed back
But Frank wasn't going to relent anytime soon.
He shifted his weight to the left and attacked his opponent's leg.
"hm" When his opponent saw this, a smile appeared on his face.
The four-mountain stance focused on using the limps to protect, but in order to do so, the limp defense had to be terrifying.
He could understand a draw with Frank in a fist attack because Frank practiced raging fists, but if Frank attacked his leg, it could be like self-harm.
So he smiled mockingly and waited for Frank's downfall.
He was sorely mistaken, though.
Frank had trained with the likes of Knuckles, who hated the nobles and especially disliked the four-mountain stance. Knuckles thought there were many ways to break the stance.
"boom"
Frank had knocked his opponent to the ground.
The other candidates just stood there laughing.
Frank made him sit on his butt. It was humiliating, so they laughed. Not everyone thought it was funny, but there was one particular person that didn't find it funny at all. That person was
The young master, Yun,
Frank's opponent could use the four mountain stance, which meant that he was either a noble or worked for the noble faction, and this humiliation would definitely piss them off.
However, the young master Yun was not the only one who was irritated.
Frank's opponent was also very annoyed. What kind of humiliation? So he got up.
"How dare you? "Take this punch," he screamed.
At this point, Frank knew that he already had him beaten. His eyes were clouded with anger, and that was his biggest mistake.
An evil smile appeared on his face.
"Since you dare offend me, then I will use you as a scapegoat. Let your suffering serve as an example to the rest." Frank attacked
"Raging fists, second rapid"
"boom boom boom boom boom boom boom"
A barrage of attacks fell upon Frank's opponent, and he couldn't do anything other than block and run away.
It seemed as if Frank wanted his life. A look of craziness slowly filled Frank's eyes.
"Watch out," a voice sounded from afar.
"Hm?" As soon as Frank heard the voice, he knew it was Jack.
He quickly turned around and saw a punch coming his way.
He quickly countered.
"Raging fist rapid 2 peak"
Bang
Both parties were blown away due to the impact.
When they regained their senses, Frank finally saw who sneak attacked him.
It was none other than
The young master, Yun
"boom"
The young master, Yun, was also attacked.
But this time,
By Jack
"bang"
He hit the ground and looked at Jack with eyes full of rage. He couldn't let Frank cripple his subordinate, so he had to interfere.
Even though Jack had given him a warning look earlier,
Jack noticed the four-mountain stance, so he knew that this guy was related to the nobles and that other nobles, other than the Yuns, had problems with them.
So he warned the young master Yun not to interfere, but he did.
Jack had to too.
Now both jack and frank had their eyes glued on the young master Yun
When he saw that, he looked frustrated and looked back at his sister and saw her looking right at him.
Yes, the young master Yun's sister was in the group.
"Enough," Arthur's voice suddenly sounded.
"You lost!" Arthur pointed at the candidate that had attacked Frank.
This made the nobles in the group behind Arthur frown.
He was one of the candidates that were in their faction with the most potential. They didn't want him to be eliminated, so they tried to voice their complaints about the fight not being clear because of the young master Yun's interruption.
But
Arthur replied to them with two options.
Either he gets down or the Yun boy gets down. After all, he caused this.
Arthur was of the warrior faction, so he would naturally do all he could to make the nobles lose ground. What better way than to hinder their top talents from getting the benefits of 1st-grade cadets?
"New rule: those who have already fought cannot be challenged again," Arthur explained.
This was to make sure people don't target those who have just finished their battle. Of course, the main reason was to protect Frank.
...…
"She is still staring?" Jake asked.
"The Yuns are petty and might attack us, so brace yourself," Joey replied. He wasn't asleep anymore. Although he still had bags under his eyes, he didn't sleep.
"Don't worry about her; she's not dumb. If she attacks one of you, I will challenge her brother and beat him up, and unless she want a lose-lose situation, she won't dare attack us," Jack said.
"At least not now," Frank added.
They all nodded and waited for the next fight.
And it didn't take long until one of the candidates challenged Brother Mo.
Yes, Brother Mo made it to the top 15.
He was actually much stronger than he seemed, but he was challenged by a guy with red and messy hair.
And he lost.
.....
"Don't worry, brother mo," they reassured him.
"don't worry about it guys it's just a bit of bad luck that's all" Brother Mo replied that it didn't seem to bother him much as he stepped off the stage.
And as soon as he did
Jack challenged someone else.
As it remained one person to eliminate, he had to act fast as he saw the Yun girl looking at Jake with wolfish eyes as if she wanted to eat him up.
Jack didn't waste much time, though. He quickly dispatched his opponent.
When she saw Jack challenge someone, it pissed her off. She had missed her chance and now all four of them had gotten into the top ten.
It was frustrating.
Right now, other than herself, Wilder and her brother, no other person in the noble faction had gotten into the top ten.
This made the noble faction lose face, and she felt like it was all her fault for not attacking first.
The other seven were all from the warrior faction, as she already assumed that Jack was from there too, despite his noble status.
"Good, finally a top ten!" Arthur screamed to draw their attention.
"So let me continue my story I was in the top ten in my time but I still ended up as the leader of the infantry unit, so don't feel like you are better than each other. You never know who will supersede you and....."
As he continued his rambling, the candidates just kept on staring at him. They couldn't tell him to get along with the competition as they knew he was very unreasonable, so they had no choice but to keep on listening.
"Cough cough" coughing sounds once again resounded behind Arthur and it made him freeze.
"This old man is really cramping my style." Those were the thoughts going through his mind, but he couldn't say it openly unless he wanted to lose an arm and a leg.
"Okay, let's begin the battle of the top ten."
"The top ten will be determined by the senior behind me, so any complaints let him know." This was Arthur's way of getting back at the senior who had cut him off.
The old man just stared at Arthur through the corners of his eyes and sighed.
"What a troublesome young man," he thought
"boom"
A large amount of pressure suddenly filled the room, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared, like the wind.
He basically scanned them and their power levels.
"Okay, I will rank you according to my own judgment. You also have the chance to challenge whoever you feel like you are stronger than and take their position. They can only blame themselves then."
