Chapter 357: A handicapped fight
Chapter 357: A handicapped fight
Rudra continued his speech for another 10 minutes or so , where he felt like a real leader , talking about motivation and future goals and all the other boring stuff , that was necessary to get everyone on the same page.
Everyone should know the immediate goals and the next course of action for the guild. Only by collectively working towards goals could they be achieved.
Rudra ended his speech by saying ” If anyone of you wants to ask anything to any of the HOD members or me …. Feel free to ask now “.
A moment of silence fell on the crowd as the teenager’s looked at each other , trying to see if anyone had the guts to speak infront of such a loud crowd.
When one guy , raised his hand high. His other hand in his pocket and his hair all messy …. From top to bottom , one look at the kid and you would get the vibe of ‘ Delinquent’.
However , Rudra just smiled , and said ” Yes , introduce yourself first , then ask your question? “.
The boy said ” In game name , MasterOfChaos , real name Mikey , there is no question …. I only wanted to issue a challenge…. Fight me ! “.
Loud clamour erupted from the crowd …. This boy was too arrogant …. How could he straight up challenge the headmaster? The winner of the one v one fighting event … The leader of the guild?
Rudra’s smile widened , while Karna coldly squinted his eyes .
Before Rudra said anything , Karna said ” Looks like , someone needs to be taught manners. You have no qualifications to fight the guild master…. You want to fight the number 1 ? , you got to beat me first “.
This was meant to threaten Mikey , but he only said ” Ho , why don’t I take on all three of you … You( Karna) , Him( Rudra) and the old man( Jhonny) “.
Karna’s gaze became sharper … This punk was different … He had guts to say the least , did he have the skills to back it up ? Noone knew , only time would tell if he was a fool or a daimond in the rough.
Rudra became even more interested in the boy , while Jhonny just waved it off , he had 0 F’s to give.
Rudra said ” Your level , profession and tier “.
Mikey said ” Level 55 , Tier 1 , Paladin “.
Rudra became even more perplexed , his personality and his class did not match at all…. Rudra would be more inclined to beleive the kid was barbarian or warrior or even swordsman. But paladin?
The murmurs in the crowd became intense , while the old Elite members were both in awe of the newbies guts and annoyed by his temper.
Rudra However said ” Sorry kid , too weak “.
Mikey , however did not back down ” Triple gold winners , huh , well that is what I will be too come next Olympics. Show me the gap I need to fill! “.
This one statement instantly made Rudra reevaluate that kid …. There seemed to be a backstory to him that he was unaware of , but then SMG came up and whispered something in Rudra’s ears , that made Rudra accept the challenge.
Rudra said ” alright , three matches against us 3 , one on one , but if you loose kid. You will follow the words and instructions of the teachers to the dot in the next six months. Agree on your honor as a man , and we have a deal “.
Mikey agreed , and the challenge was official.
The crowd moved from the arena out to the open ground , where a huge circle was created … Everyone was buzzing with excitement over how badly Mikey was going to be beaten , however everyone was more excited to see the Big 3 live in action.
First match , was Mikey Vs Jhonny
Before the match started , Jhonny sighed as he said ” Lesson number one kids ….. Never underestimate an old man ! “.
The match started
Mikey , tried to dash to the right and circle around Jhonny , however before he even took his second step, 3 daggers pierced his neck clean , bringing his HP down to 0 .
1.2 seconds , that is how long it took Jhonny to beat Mikey, who was forced to take a trip back-to the Church of light.
Many of those who had just reached level 10 , could not even understand what had transpired here , and how Mikey got defeated.
While those with only a general understanding of the game , felt like they were dreaming … What deadly accuracy and speed to throw those three daggers in such a short time , all piercing the unarmoured throat area.
Mikey himself was in shock…. He could not even begin to understand where he went wrong in the fight , he was thoroughly overwhelmed , there was no takeaway for him. Just a simple fact , that he was not even worth batting an eye for Jhonny.
Making his way back to the guild , he had lost much of his arrogant stance … Now much more humbled and focused he looked forward to his match with Karna.
Karna had to make a show here , he needed to come out strong. Hence he appeared to handicap himself while actually going into his strongest mode.
Karna said ” Kid , you are soo weak that I can win this match with my eyes closed “.
Saying soo , Karna put a blindfold around his eyes , as Mikey was bewildered and enraged. Just how weak did Karna think he was?
Gritting his teeth he promised to beat the arrogant vice guild master and the HOD of his department.
While the crowd chatted excitedly , speculating the results of the match , Karna said ” Come “.
Rudra had a grin on his face , he had seen Karna fight with his eyes closed before , although he did not know the secret to the technique , he knew Karna was not handicapped at all with his eyes closed.
Mikey cautiously closed in on Karna , his sceptre making a slash for Karna’s body from distance. However just when it looked like the attack would connect , as if seeing it from miles away , Karna casually sidestepped the move , and brought down his great sword onto the sceptre’s body. Breaking it in half.
Mikey was flabbergasted , but he was still sharp , and saw Karna ‘s follow up kick , managing to avoid it in time .
Rudra’s eyes sparkled … The kid did have some moves.
Karna too smiled a bit , as he threw down his great sword ,becoming unarmed as Mikey …. As if taunting him into a fist- fight.
It might look simple , but it was a psychological game played by Karna , Karna was saying without superior weapons , without even vision , I’m still miles above your league.
It would become a lesson in time for Mikey who would remember this day for a long long time.
