"Get on the ring, pretty boy..."
His words definitely triggered Lucas, and the moment Lucas heard him, his pupils suddenly lit up like a beast as he glared straight at that man with his glowing, cold pupils.
"What..."
Lucas coldly questioned in low volume in his voice while staring at this short red-haired man with a height of almost 6—a few inches shorter than him—glaring at him with a buff physique to the point where one could easily see his wide chest and arm muscles even as he was wearing gym clothes.
"Didn't you hear? Get on the ring if you dare."
As Lucas heard him again, the look in his eyes went even colder, but at the same time, others in the gym started to try to stop this giant from conflicting against Lucas.
"Hey! What are you doing, Thomas!? Why are you picking fights right from his first day?"
"Back off, man!"
"Take it easy; why are you so offended?"
"The instructors won't be having you easy for this."
They immediately intervened and surrounded him, trying to take him away from Lucas, while Lucas was just glaring at him as suddenly a chill plan crossed his mind.
"Yeah, why are you picking fights when I'm just instructing a kid? Are you a newbie by chance?"
Lucas said that all the people who were trying to intervene in the issue to try and stop it before it escalated started to look at Lucas like they were looking at a maniac, while this red-haired man called Thomas got even more enraged as he pushed these people, grabbing him aside, and immediately stepped forward towards Lucas and shouted
"Newbie huh!? This fucking guy has a pretty face! You step inside the gym for the first time here and try to call me the newbie. Get in the ring, or if I see you outside, you will be getting more beating today. Gear up and get on the ring."
As he said, he immediately started moving towards a fighting stage, pushing others aside after giving a long glare over Lucas and offering to watch. He also seemed to look at Lucas with a look of maniac. It's normal for people to avoid right inside a gym, yet here Lucas was watering a small spark of fire with a gallon full of gasoline.
"Hy-Hyung... Should we just run away? Last time it was just high school kids, this muscle tank here was like a light heavyweight pro fighter."
"Oh, you understand that weight class, huh? That makes it easier; I'm also about 80 kg, meaning around the same weight class; this guy here, from guessing by his body muscles, is a boxer; it's a perfect opportunity to learn for you."
Jason seemed a bit uncertain, but Lucas assured him with an unseen confidence in his eyes. Jason was a bit shocked. The next second, Lucas moved over to the changing room, and in just a minute, he was seen coming out wearing the same black innerwear with simply black shorts while rolling the hand wrap bandages around his wrist.
Seeing him, Thomas was already standing on the ring and seemed to be getting heated up, while others seemed a bit worried about any incident at the gym, as one of the guys standing there even alerted Lucas while stepping forward towards him.
"Bro... why don't you just say sorry and be done with it? That dude is a brainless muscle fighter. Even though he is quite dumb, he has good fighting instincts. He stepped into professional boxing last month on province-level competition. The instructors are now outside of the hall because of some office work from the owner. They will be here in a few minutes. Just hold off."
"Thanks for the advice..."
Lucas didn't consider it appropriate to explain to this guy with his current timing what he was capable of, and instead, by just tapping his shoulders, he jumped into the ring while looking towards the other guy in front of him.
"You could have just taken the advice from him... I really might have spared you."
Thomas purposefully provoked Lucas even more, but Lucas, on the other hand, was seen signalling Jason with his fingers as he was standing on the ground along with the other crowd surrounding the ring to watch him.
"Hey! You bastard-!"
Thomas was enraged as he saw Lucas not even considering him a proper threat as he gripped his fists in rage, but immediately at that timing, the boxing rings went on.
*Ring!*
As Thomas heard the ring, he just clicked his tongue and moved over to the corner of the ring as Lucas proceeded to do the same as Thomas provoked again.
"Don't be too confident, little guy... I saw you kicking the dummy, but the real fight is different from what you have practiced on a fake bag of plastic. Don't be crying when I smash your face."
"Hmm"
Despite provocation this time, the only response Thomas got from Lucas was just a simple humming, which enraged him even more as the boxing ring suddenly went on again as the free guy commanded.
"Single round fights; illegal moves are prohibited! All non-lethal martial arts are permitted! The goal is either submission or KO! Round 1! Fight!"
As he announced it, Thomas immediately rushed in closing distance within a moment, with swift legs despite his body size, as he shouted
"Surprised already!? That's why I said real fight is different from the training on dummies!!!"
As he shouted, Lucas just stayed still without any movements. Jason, standing on the ground, had his eyes widen in face of the swift speed of Thomas, as he was well aware of these boxing tactics.
'Heck! Range is indeed important; boxers fight in close combat; they immediately close up distance unless one is in front of them in grappler; meanwhile, kick boxing is more leaned towards mid range; if a pro boxer closes distance, then there isn't much Lucas Hyung can do unless he tries out Muay Thai!'
Jason's eyes were stuck over Lucas's movement, expecting him to execute a knee strike straight to the face of Thomas rushing straight to his face, but the next moment, what happened was beyond anyone's expectations as Lucas suddenly moved like a snake and, in the face of Thomas rushing in, made a straight jab straight to his face himself.
'What the-!??'
Thomas was instantly taken aback. It was completely out of the norm to see a non-boxer execute boxing moves against a boxer in a real fight. The most realistic solution was to dodge or back off, but Lucas here was straight up attacking instead of defending.
Thomas barely dodged the jab and, with gritted teeth, immediately rushed in again.
'This fucker! Want to make a joke out of me!?! Fuck!'
Thomas gritted the teeth and tried to body-hook Lucas and overwhelm him with his strength and body weight, but before he could get in the range, his eyes suddenly widened as he saw that Lucas's kick right in front of his head.
"Ha-?"
Thomas was stunned as his jaws slightly widened, but before he could even breathe properly, Lucas's perfect roundhouse kick landed straight in Thomas's face, forcing him a few steps back with a stunned look on his face as his mind was in a daze, while Jason on the ground was even more shocked.
'He landed the blow!? With just kick boxing!?! He didn't have the proper range to fight properly because the boxer was closing the distance, so he created the distance by surprising the boxer with a jab and immediately landing that impactful kick. Cr-crazy!!!'
Jason had his face red in excitement and shock at the scenery in front of him; his blood was pumping like crazy, while Thomas, who just came to senses, looked at Lucas jumping tip-toes in the ring with a scoffing grin on the face.
"This fucker!!!!"
The face was immediately red in rage as he roared, and once again closing distance while guarding his face, he immediately attempted a straight right punch, but Lucas was far ahead of him as he suddenly turned around, lowering his head from the range of the kick, and made a spinning roundhouse kick, which was literally turning around with one leg on the ground and with a strong spin landing the other leg right on the face of Thomas.
"Kwaacckkk!!!"
Thomas had his mouth bleeding as this strike landed straight on his face. Thomas was still stunned as Lucas suddenly made a quick switch from his position and landed the leg he had kicked Thomas face with to the ground and positioned his other leg for one more attack on Thomas's face.
'I'm dead if this one lands!!!'
Thomas saw that, and it felt like a soul was exploding out of his body. As he gritted his teeth as the blood was rushing out like crazy from his mouth, he covered his face with both his arms as a guard. As expected, Lucas's kick was targeting Thomas's face, but this time it was blocked, but still Thomas was forced to take a few steps back by sheer force of the kick.
"Holy shit!?!"
"New guy!? Is he a pro too?"
"Fuck! I only saw such things in MMA fights!"
"What the fuck! That's too smooth!!!"
The other guys watching it were beyond impressed by this combination attack. Jason wasn't even able to comprehend what was happening ahead with his eyes widening, while Thomas watching their reactions was even more embarrassed, more so because it was him initiating the fight, but even so
'What kind of monster is this!!!?'
Thomas had his eyes absolutely wet from pain, his inner jaw was shaking continuously, and the arms he used to block the kick were red in pain. It was as if getting struck point blank by a metal rod.
'I gotta finish it fast!!!'
Thomas gritted his teeth in pain and frustration and rushed in with a double jab, but the jabs were easily blocked by Lucas, and while slowly revealing his glowing eyes behind the arm guarding his face, he immediately connected his strike with a straight punch to Thomas, which Thomas actually managed to block with his arm.
'He's trapped!'
Only Jason managed to see through that move. Though Thomas had blocked Lucas's punch, the punch itself was a trap. The next second, Lucas immediately closed the distance, clinched Thomas under his arms, and instantly proceeded with a knee strike straight to his face, making him foam with blood despite the mouth guard.
"Kwaarggh!!!"
Thomas was stunned, barely standing in the ring, but Lucas gave him no chance to retaliate as he jumped on the ring towards Thomas and landed a straight punch right to his side cheek while Lucas himself was still mid-air.
"Superman punch..."
Lucas muttered with a grin on his face while removing the mouth guard as Thomas fell right in front, completely knocked down with blood and saliva foaming out of his mouth along with a swollen red face.
