Chapter 58: The Void Assassin's Challenge!!!
Lancelot Jr listened to the voices of the crowd as they were absolutely loving the challenge and they were even happier for Lancelot Jr accepting it.
The void assassin was mad as he stared at
Lancelot Jr, calling him 'void brain' was all he could think of, if not for the multitude of staring eyes he would have sliced him up to mincemeat.
Instead, he just smiled and somersaulted out off the stage, his steps were so light it almost felt like a feather was flying away.
He took another glance at Lancelot Jr and pointed, "see you in 2 days" he then jumped and vanished out of sight.
The crowd erupted with another round of shouting and whispering, the reporters were intently staring through the camera and reporting the incident as it occurred.
Not only was this young boy of 6 years old powerful, he merely being a Level 1 elemental from the fire nation, took on two level 3 elementals, one from the metal nation and the other from the beast nation and he defeated both.
He is a real king, showing his dominion over other elementals, he was not only the fire King, he most likely could be related to the elemental king that once shocked the entire elemental world.
The thought rang through the minds of the mixed crowd of people and elementals as they thought of the confidence with which he chose to take on the void assassin.
The principal ordered for Lancelot Jr to be brought down from the stage.
The injury he obtained from the repeated punches inflicted by Gerald Guye was finally taking effect as he winced from the erupting pain.
'La-Gabriel" Clara quickly corrected herself so as not to expose Lancelot Jr's identity, she rushed to his side to help him up as he was carried away.
"The recent set of injuries he is sustaining keeps getting worse, he is just a 6-year-old boy for crying out loud, yet, he is told to face off against kids twice his age, what the f**k is wrong with you guys, putting animals to fight against him with claws and sharp teeth?"
Clara turned to vent her frustration directed at the Principal who understood her anger and had a solemn expression as she watched her support Lancelot Jr as they walked off with Mr. Thomas in tow.
Then a commotion broke out in the arena as people rushed out to follow the direction in which Lancelot Jr was moving.
The reporters needed him to speak more, theey needed to hear the voice of the little boy who was going against the tide of the natural order, how was he doing it? How was he beating kids twice his age, was it due to his immense abilities? It was all too shocking to swallow.
Two days passed and the frenzy hadn't quite ended, in fact, the gossip continued, the principal pushed the match with the void assassin forward, by another 3 days, giving Lancelot Jr enough time to rest.
When it was two days before the match, the students were gathered in the common room.
The students from class 1 were gathered from every nation.
Lancelot Jr had instilled a spark in them, they decided to meet with one another.
The fame of Lancelot Jr had spread across the whole school, 'the wonder boy who was defiling the natural order, strength was not measured by levels when it came to him'
A blond boy with a stout stature stood on a higher platform in the common room as he faced the level 1 elementals from every nation;
"We all have seen the superb victory brought to our level by the new kid, 'Gabriel Li l it seems he is now the target of the level 3 elementals from Class 3, I called this meeting to decide how we could support him"
There were murmurs from the other kids as they were contemplating ideas amongst themselves.
Then a girl now spoke up from the crowd, using columns of air to raise herself to a floating position, she was located somewhere left of the crowd.
"Gabriel is a fire elemental who has mastered the element control for both defense and attack to an amazing degree, we can't really measure up to him, amongst us I think he should have broken through to the 2nd or even third level to be able to face off with those guys, I stand corrected anyway."
"This time, though he is going against the void assassins. You will notice that although those here from the metal nation and beast nation, were aggrieved when their students were beaten, yet none sought vengeance, however, that is quite different for void assassins."
"No one would want to face off against the void assassins. They attack as one, and an injury to one is an injury to all, in my opinion, only Gabriel can rescue himself"
The murmurs continued as the students were agreeing with the girl from the Air nation.
"Can't we meet Lancelot and let him teach us his method of defying the natural order, maybe we could also learn a thing or two and challenge the higher levels" a short boy from the Fire nation spoke.
"Defy the natural order, you? The only thing you can defy is the natural order of food, no glutton with a bigger belly has a chance against you" another Fire nation boy snorted with a sarcastic tone.
"This...." The short boy was enraged and wanted to attack, At that moment, the boy leading the meeting now spoke,
"I think his idea is a good one, we could get some pointers from Gabriel Li which would help our elemental development greatly. That being said, why aren't there any void assassins from year one or class one here?"
Indeed everyone looked around and couldn't find any void assassins present, "it seems the next match would be very tricky, let's hope Gabriel Li could really be up with a miracle again this time."
Lancelot Jr had recovered from most of his injury by the third day.
The presence of the spirit speaker in his spirit sea provided an immense boost to his recovery rate and fighting capabilities. His rate of healing was almost inhuman.
