Chapter 472: Fight in the doorway

While just the first punch alone was enough for me to gauge that my new opponents were an entire class weaker than the guy I humiliated as the last trial that got me promoted to this grade of disciples, the fact that I was alone while there were three of them in front of me and this cheating girl from behind meant that I was in actually a worse position that during my last trial match.

But there wasn't any point in thinking about it too much, as, during the fight, it was the body doing the fighting rather than the mind!

At first, rather than relying on my shield to block the attack, I simply waited for the right moment before going forward with my own upper punch, aiming it directly at the forearm of the attacker.
