'Even thought i said to finish this but,how should i do that' leo though while he was deflecting dave's sword strikes,without paying them any big attention .
And while leo was in his thoughts—
"What the hell is happening here"
One of the imperial student who were watching the battle between dave and leo could help but say in a disbelieving tone as he looked at the battle.
"How is he doing that, he is clearly on the weak side, why does he look stronger than dave."
Looking at the battle all the spectators were in disbelieve, be it,the imperial,or the military academy students,even dulan and fritz were dumbfounded.
There is also the prince edward who was grining as he said "even though i excpected this ,but for him to be this skilled".
"in Speed,strength and weapon. dave exceed leo in every one of those by a large gap but even Then leo could easily toy with him,he seems to have being struggling only at the beggining,but after that he was deflecting dave sword even without looking at it as if he knew where would he strike next" fritz commented from the rooftop that leo asked him to go to before.
Dulan who is next to him said" i never saw such a skilled person in my life,maybe i saw stronger in term of raw power but when it came to skill he is Undoubtedly the strongest"
"Just what had he gone through to gain such skill ,how many battles of life and dead had he gone throught to came to that stage" frits said as he looked at leo's body that was full of scars of battles ,while thinking what kind of story does every one of those scars hid behind it.
"It can't go like that,dave is losing at this rate,and if he lost he would bring us shame,so we need to do something say what do you think we should do?" Max the leader of the imperial student who came to fight against leo said as he looked at his group asking thier opinion.
"Thats right,at this rate sooner or later he would lose, but i don't know what we should we do to prevent that from happening now."
"Thats right i also can't think of anything to prevent that."
"We should do something but what is it?"
As they were Discussion the heard a loud sound of metal clashing rang beside them
Clang~
Clang~
The sound come from leo and dave's weapons high speed colliding, that happened because leo who was always in a semi-defence style while fighting start to swing his spear in a Dangerously offensive style,that left dave only barely able to defend himself against leo's spear.
Clang~~
All this made the group even more anxious for dave than they are already is.
So—
"Then lets send another fighter with dave to fight him" one of them who is called Gin said that as he felt several wrathful gazes moving toward his body as he couldn't help but fell a chill down his spine.
"Do you even know what you are saying,we are here trying to protect our pride and you want to throw us in shame directly, what the hell is wrong with your mind Gin? "Max said with wrath gushing out from his voice tone toward the idiot infront of him.
"Yes we are here trying to save our honor and you are directly throwing it away "
As Gin heard all that he didn't feel angre toward them as he himself didn't want to do what he said .
"Do you guys think that i would suggest something so ridiculously if it wasn't for our situation , i like you is a honor seeker how would i like to throw it like that,if it wasn't for your current situation" gin said
"So what are you trying to say is ...." max.
"Yes,fighting with more people against him would make us lose honor less than when someone of us lost to him so i would rather do lose some than a lot" gin said as he looked at the faces of his group who turned as ugly as the situation they were in right now.
as the group was thinking about that leo was trying to take down the man in front of him without severely injuring him,after all in the end he and dave didn't have that mush grudge against each others.
one is doing as his group told him to ,another is defending himself,so if its possible leo would like to end this battle without injureding him.
But dave is persisting very hard, even though leo tried his best to make him throw his weapon but all he got was his hand that was hit by the spear shaking from pain .
it seems he had a big reason to not lose this fight,since i found that he didn't seem to be really familiar with the feeling of pain,so the only thing i can think of that can make him persist this mush is that he fear losing or its aftermath.
Then leo made his mind and said "as a sign of respect to your persisting ,i will knock you out in one shot using my whole strength"
"What this wasn't your full strenght?" Dave said in a tone of disbelieve
"then please prepare yourself" leo said as he looked at dave seriously'i need to control my self as to not kill him' thats what he thought.
but dave who saw leo's serious face couldn't help but be drowned in his cold sweat,as he thought about leo's previous words.
'does that mean he would kill me,by that ,from his looks he seems as if he wouldn't care about the academy's rules so he might really do it,but if that's the case why don't i feel his killing intent,with all those scars in his body he without doubt had gone through several hells while living so he would and without doubts possessed an extremely strong and huge killing intent,but even so i don't feel it so i shouldn't panic too much,as he doesn't intend to kill me,but i surely need to prepare myself for a hell of pain'
As i though of all this i saw leo aiming his spear at me then put his right foot in the ground strong enough that his leg had made a print on the floor and some cracks on the ground spread from his foot.
then his body was shot toward me in an extremely fast speed.
but strangely when he was about three away from me he changed his stance from stabbing toward me to defending himself.
although i didn't understand at first why is he doing that, but later when i saw a shadow in front of me holding an axe that he swung at leo,i understand everything,and when i did i become even more dumbfounded
"ho-how,wh-why are you here,how dare you came here ,do you know what you are doing,you have not only put my face in dirt, but also yours and our group, do you think they will forgive you for what you have done just now,raiser" (dave)
"they asked me to " raiser said as he looked at leo that he sent flying in the air.
Leo himself when he saw the axe coming he didn't fight against it but let it send him flying without resisting as to not absorb all the power that was in that strike.
as leo was sent flying in mid air he draw a long arc.
when he was about to touch the ground,he flipped his body, land safely and elegantly.
"how is it possible that they have agree to such a thing, no thinking about it now if its them they would surely agree as even though they would suffer some damage,but i am the one who will take the hardest hit " as dave said that he covered his face with his right hand as he laugh out loud as if he had gone crazy.
Leo not caring about all that run toward raiser as he thrusted his spear toword him, which was stopped by raiser who didn't realised, that a foot had been launched into his stomach, while he was deflecting leo's spear head that was aiming at his head
that foot had sent him flying accurately into the center of his group.
with the strength leo put in his leg from the slightly anger he felt toward that sneak attack made him use his most of his strength while holding a little bit not to kill him.
so it was inevitable that he would have already pass out when he reached his group
leo who put away the little anger he felt toward riser as if nothing had happened,
looked at the direction of the imperial group brats then said in a loud voice "that was my gift to you ,now you wouldn't have the need to take his body from here so i send it to you so you won't burden yourselves by picking him up"
"Youuuuu!!..." max said in a wrathful tone of voice.
"You what ,is it thank you then you shouldn't ,i was just warming up my body you sending him here, helped me finally completed my warm up thank you "
"Youuuuu!...."(max)
"No need fot the thanks every time man we are friend ,aren't we hahaha,and since you are my dear friend i would like to ask you a favour right now ,since i had completed my warm up could you please send some or all of your men since i would like to do more warm ups like this, its been a whike since i fought so i would like to see if i didn't lost my touch"
this time leo didn't hear the voice of max but a loud laugh from the rooftop where he asked fritz and dulan to hid.
but the laugh didn't stop at there as after first laugh leo swears that he heard edward 's laughing sound in the south,then all the the military student start to laugh as well and for a while it became a laughing festival where its fireworks is the students of the imperial academy whose face became as red as tomato that we don't know if its from embarrassment or anger.
after that max and his group took raiser with them then fled away from the scene while leaving behind dave.
leo who felt some pity toward the man moved to help him stand up but he refused that help
seeing this leo give up helping him, when he turned around to move ,he heard dave's voice "don't think this is the end"
leo turned to look at dave as then asked "what do you mean by that?"
"they won't leave you alone after what you have done to them,they have friend and families in the academy that will help them get revenge against you ,and you know the academy won't middle with its students fights ,as the rule say that as long as you don't kill each other everything is permitted " (dave)
"such good exercises for free why are you making it as if it was something bad,those guys would come from their own will to help me train shouldn't i thank them? i can't really understand you haha" (leo)
"i am saying this seriously you couldn't even defeated me easily without using your whole cards ,how can you defeat who are stronger than me by a lot " (dave)
"is that how it look to you hahaha, then you should now that although when it came to physical strength what i show you was truly my limit, but another truth is that i have done more than my best not to injure you by mistake while fighting you,the last thing i used was so i can one shot you ,so you you wouldn't suffer a lot "(leo)
"what why are you even doing that was i not your enemy how can you be this naive while having all those wounds in your body" (dave)
"naive maybe,but you got one thing wrong no maybe two,one is that you are not my enemy" (leo)
"how can you say that i was not your enemy when i had came here with the intent of bullying you ?" (dave)
"maybe,what you are saying is true ,but even so you didn't do that willingly, you were different from those scams ,i felt that while we were fighting before as they say men understand each other when they fight,the same happened to me " (leo)
"if that was true how did i felt nothing "(dave)
"hahaha,maybe because you are weak" hearing this dave mouth corner was twitching
"if you don't believe that then let's just remember what you said before"(leo)
"what i said?" (dave)
"Do you remeber when you said 'they won't leave you alone' when you said that, you clearly said 'they' while cutting off yourself from them ,you didn't acknowledge them in other words. this is also when you said the second wrong thing" (leo)
"The second what is it?" (dave)
"Its not them who will not let me alone its me who will always look at them and thier helpers, so i would like to advice you one thing, idon' t know what is your reason for being together with this group ,you might have your circumstances but in the next few days or weeks get away from them" (leo)
"sorry but i can't" (dave)
"sigh is thats so it's seems your circumstances are more serious than i thought,then if i find you i will try to hurt you less i can" (leo)
leo said that as he sighed
