Chapter 38 - Pure combat.

Regardless of the applause, the lieutenants returned to their human form.

Their clothes had slight tears and injuries could also be seen, Terry had some cuts and Daniel had purple marks due to less piercing injuries, Lieutenant Terry used brute force and rock strikes without using so many piercing attacks even with his power . And Daniel used lightning and powerful, sharp claws.

I couldn't hear it from here, but the support teacher went to talk to them, probably asking them to go for medical treatment, but they both shook their heads.

And the teacher went ahead and spoke.

"After this wonderful demonstration of the lieutenants' powers we will go to the students' combat classes."

"At first, each student will only be able to use physical power and combat techniques, without transforming or using mental power or supernatural power. This way we will be able to measure your most basic combat skills and adjust while teaching generalized fighting methods from the academy and adapting them so that each student can practice."

 Hearing this I thought it was an interesting class model. Since we have been at the academy, each student has received manuals on fighting methods from the military, but it is not possible to generalize the way of fighting in this world. In addition to the difference in physical power and race, there are variables such as mental and supernatural power, each aspect that makes fights very individual with even the influence of instinct as an intervention at the time of the fight.

"Now for the pairs. We will use smart bracelets. A random number will be allocated to each student and a message with the combat combination will appear, there will be 4 battles at the same time in today's training, and the positions will be sent along with the person responsible for you."

And when he finishes speaking, showing his efficiency, a notification appears on each of the students' bracelets.

Looking at my smart bracelet I saw that my number was 17 and I would fight against number 24. Furthermore, I was in the coach's battle group: Terry and our battle would be in the 3rd round.

The support teacher spoke loudly using his power.

"For the numbers moved to the first round, each person follows their battlefield with their respective trainer, the others can move between locations."

With the end of his speech, the coaches were divided.

And I watched everything, but would only fight in the 3rd round, I went to see who was currently fighting and saw Arno go up to one of the combat fields, and coincidentally he was in Daniel's group.

Seeing Arno go up I decided to go watch him fight out of curiosity.

Arno positioned himself on the right side and in front of him was a guy a little taller and Daniel looked at both of them.

"Well, let's start this game. Prepare yourselves, remember, you cannot use powers, use mental power or transform. Get ready and go!"

When he finished speaking, Arno ran at high speed as if calling the name of his wind skill, the enemy was slower, but had some basic skills, they exchanged several punches and kicks, but Arno clearly had physical strength and skills better basics. So much so that he seems to have already been trained and with enough skill, which made me narrow my eyes at him.

In the end Arno won.

And after that I continued to move between camps and observe different battles. Perhaps due to the difficulty of entering this academy or due to the natural instincts of the mixture of human DNA with animals that this world has as a characteristic, the skills are not that bad, some of the students also had reasonable training.

 The background of each of the students is not bad, which I found quite satisfactory.

And finally it was my turn to fight.

I walked onto the stage with a relaxed attitude, and saw my opponent, he had an elongated body like a snake or octopus and was quite tall while his body was thin.

I looked at him from afar and felt 4 strong gazes on me, I realized that two were my friends Arno and Luana, the other was Daniel who should have been paying attention to his battle and Lieutenant Terry, in general it should be normal given that he is our trainer, but I felt there was something more probing in his gaze…but I decided to ignore it.

And I looked at the student in front of me, I bowed gently with my hands clenched like a punch in a traditional way that I adapted from past combat lives, and sometimes I liked to do that. The act itself was an act of greeting and honoring the warrior in this world there is no specific one in the current time, but in the past there seemed to be one.

"We hope we have a good training session" I finished the act by saying.

The other was clearly a little embarrassed, but greeted back.

And Terry, watching the scene, seemed interested and spoke immediately.

"Let's start!!"

As he spoke, the guy came at me quickly. His arms were long and had quick and direct movements, I moved smoothly and dodged without difficulty when he tried to attack with other movements. I dodged with elastic movements, moving my back, legs and hands and I also directed his blows with kicks and I punched using my palms easily, my movement control, strength and muscles were excellent and I trained with high skill especially in the world of Murim. I directed his attacks to the side and let him quickly fall and dodge.

We were in this conflict for a few minutes and when my opponent seemed extremely angry I decided to submit and end this battle.

The enemy came running towards me quickly, this time I grabbed his arms and with my legs around his neck I threw him to the ground and completely immobilized him, and suffocated him a little to make him pass out.

And when he finished the match, Terry's voice came to end the match.

"End of the combat!"

I got up and stretched my muscles a little, a pure combat battle without weapons, powers, skills, etc. It was quite fun and interesting and it had been a while since I had something like that.

"Student Alex correct? Help wake up your friend and I'll give you some guidance...although you don't seem to need that much."

Lieutenant Terry spoke and I went alongside my fighting partner to wake him up.
