Arthur's upper body shot up like a bullet feeling refreshed from his rest.He looked to the side and saw no one around this time.Je went on to view his progress on his current quest and felt he needed some answers as to why it showed 5.
[The beast core of the silver ape had so much potent power to make up for two beast cores worth of absorption]
"I see...fighting beasts is exhilarating and now that I've recovered I can continue".Miss Jade was indeed right,Arthur had turned into a battle freak but perhaps she was the cause of this but was oblivious to it.
He quickly retrieved his black sky katana from his side and got out of his room.He didnt know how to contact Miss Jade his only option was to go to Ember academy.
With his current speed Arthur was able to reach the entrance of Ember academy in no time.He stood Infront of it with his black hoodie on,his hands placed in his pockets leaving out his thumb to rest outside.
"Memories...it's left with some few days to return anyways"He stood there reminiscing about the countless beatings he had received.He shrugged and leaped over the gates.
There was no way there were going to allow him anyways.lucky for him though the guards were lazily doozing off,using this to his advantage he approached the main classroom block of the academy.
Not long after,his figure could be seen walking through the hallways without a care in the world.He walked by the classrooms only receiving casual glares.Some of curiosity while others of interest.
Although they couldn't see the face of the individual walking through the hallways they were at least able to identify his physique as stunning.
He reached his classroom and knocked only to hear Miss Jades voice inform him to enter.
"Miss Jade...".Immediately the class fell dead silent on seeing a stranger enter their classroom.Some began to chatter amongst themselves on who that could be.
One had to know Arthur had changed not just in one aspect but multiple.His hair,physique and demeanor had all taken quite the change."Are you in such a hurry to fight you battle freak"Miss Jade although asking with a soft voice revealed an annoyed expression.
"Uh..I'm just in a hurry to test out some skills of mine that's all".Arthur revealed a wry smile rubbing the back of his hair."Your suspension isn't over yet and you decided to step foot here,I'll have to deal with you later".
"Suspension..."
"But the only student under suspension is that trash"
"What!!...No way"
"You still refer to him as trash after what he did to Brad"
"But he looks soo different".
The class once again starting whispering to each other after overhearing their conversation.Not that Miss Jads tried to hide his presence anyways.Arthur's body unconsciously stepped back after hearing what she said.
"Should have thought about this...uhm on second thought I'll ju-".Arthur didn't even get to finish his statement and was grabbed by Miss Jade who vanished from the sight of the students present.
"What was that!!"
"Was that some kind of a teleportation ability?"
"Insane!"
---------------
"Next time wait for me patiently,is fighting beasts all you think about"Miss Jade facepalmed dropping him to the ground.Since she had a class to attend to she couldn't stay and chat with him.
GROWLL!!
GROWLL!!!
GROWL!!!
Her figure instantly disappeared just as it had appeared leaving Arthur once again alone to battle for his life.Arthur however seemed to have found a way to fasten his quest.This time around he had to battle against 7 blood wolves.
They were referred as such due to their distinct red coloured stripes cutting across certain parts of their body and how blood wolves that had managed to breakthrough to the sage rank were able to control blood in a certain way although they couldn't manipulate it.
Now that he thought about it blood wolves were extremely rare,those that had encountered blood wolves all spoke of the same thing 'They are above the sage rank'.
Meaning blood wolves always made sure to reach a power that could obliterate any human they encountered until they made their presence known."They can control blood but can't manipulate it,I will pursue a blood wolf which can control blood and see how it would affect my blood manipulation".
Arthur's thought process on this could be said to be accurate.He needed to find out if they would be some kind of an upgrade in his blood manipulation ability if he were to encounter a higher ranked blood wolf which held an the blood control ability.
"As always,they travel in packs".Arthur drew his katana from underneath his outfit and pointed it's blade backwards.If others were to see Arthur fighting against beasts with zero defense they would hurl insults at him.
Most beasts were difficult to handle even with armours on but here he was facing off against rank 1 beasts without any armour on and still being on the winning side.
The blood wolves growled towards Arthur revealing their ferocious sharp teeth."This will help me adapt to a one vs many scenario anyways".
As one who was labelled as a battle freak he had to know how to survive any battle he went through and that included a case where he had to take on multiple awakened or in this case beasts simultaneously.
However 6 of the blood wolves were all in rank 1 and their aura were quite powerful as well with the 1 out of the 6 having not broken through to even rank 1.He knew this battle would be harder than he had imagined.
"Target the weak first"He inwardly said as he starting running at full speed towards the one without any rank.It was common knowledge after all to always target the weakest one whenever it came to group fights.
"I can manipulate their blood to boil and cause them to explode but whenever I'm faced with an opponent with equal footing I'm faced with a slight resistance".
Arthur may not have noticed it but his growth wasn't just in strength but also in his ability as well.As an awakened it was always important to know the limits and loop holes in your ability to further improve on them and Arthur was doing a superb job at that having already analysed this loop hole.
One of the blood wolves leaped forward at an incredible speed slashing out it's claws at Arthur who tilted his body to the side to dodge,he was however met with another claw aiming for his neck.
[Flash step activated]
Even after appearing behind the second blood wolf that attacked him a different one came in with it's extended snout wide open ready to tear off a part of its flesh.
This battle was going to be much more harder than he had imagined.
