Capítulo 84: Chapter 84

Kyon stood in the middle of the training ground and took out a handful of various items and stones with a protective formation inside: shields, rings, bracelets, nephrites, and many more. It was kind of funny to hold a whole fortune in his hands...

Kyon directed Synergy to the cluster of neural connections in his brain to master the element of light. It was supposed to take him about an hour as he knew his way around. It would be easy to decode the information this time... He had already acquired the darkness, the light was nothing but its opposite.

From the first day he appeared in this world, Kyon noticed that being at odds with the environment, Synergy was a kind of cheat that gave him an extraordinary advantage. His ability to clean the channels alone was worth a lot! As for mastering all the elements, heaven didn't look kindly on this anomaly. It cast bolts of lightning to destroy the mediocrity who wanted to deceive his fate.

Synergy had thoroughly studied the neurons of the element and initiated analysis.

All of a sudden, thick heavy clouds covered the clear night sky. The humid air smelled of rain and ozone. The atmosphere got saturated with unprecedented absolute power. A strong wind rose. It was hard to breathe...

Kyon looked carefully up at the sky. The signs of the impending lightning appeared too fast, which meant that he was doing it right and in great strides.

He activated the protective nephrites with pure energy. Shields started forming above his head: an ether barrier, a water dome, an air dome, and others…

Kyon didn't want to waste too many protective formations. He might need them in the future. However, his life was at stake. He couldn't be too careful. Kyon continued activating formations, looking at the sky to assess the power of the lightning. He remembered perfectly well the way it happened last time: rather thick clouds, a faint tension in the air, the barrier of the mansion intact. The second lightning had caused more intense energy in the atmosphere: it broke the barrier, and Kyon could barely survive. And now the third lightning was coming. He had a funny feeling that it was going to be ten times more powerful than before.

Kyon activated some more defensive stones and continued exploring the element. Finally... He had found the lead... The irreversible process started after which all his neural connections would make sense. He was about to master the element!

Kyon glanced at the sky again and turned pale. The black clouds lit up all at once as if focusing all their energy into a flash of single lightning. It was going to be much more powerful than he had imagined. A few dozens of times more powerful!

{Shit!} - With no hesitation, Kyon activated every defensive formation. Different barriers began to appear one after another: stone, ether, water, and even ice - everything he had in store.

He heard a familiar sound that meant he had reached enlightenment, and right then, a huge bolt of divine justice aimed at him.

*KABOOM*

Lightning of an unprecedented size broke through the mansion barrier and went through three stone barriers, turning them into a pile of rubble. The water barriers scattered across the place with hissing spray. The dense air dome was surprisingly effective. The last barriers of ether burst one after another under the incredibly powerful thrust.

It all happened instantly. Kyon thought he would die, but only a tiny part of the lightning reached him. His own insulation barrier successfully saved him, averting the danger.

The loud echo of the storm went through the estate several times. It was so deafening that half of its dwellers woke up in a terrible fright.

Kyon fell to his knees and laughed with relief, looking at the sky. It worked! He was now the master of four elements! He was one of the greatest geniuses that were appreciated in any family. His future was full of promise. Well, at least his ego had calmed down a bit. And yet, the pungent envy of heavenly geniuses (masters of 5 elements) still bothered him.

Kyon came to his senses and hid the rest of the items (absolutely useless at the moment) in the ring. Then he leaned against the wall and pretended to be frightened and shocked.

When the maids and the guards entered the training ground, they saw the stones from the earthen barrier scattered throughout the site and a slowly restoring protective barrier of the mansion.

Dinah walked around the perimeter, totally ignoring the existence of the short-haired servant. She concluded:

«Hmm... It doesn't look like an invasion, but it's too big for a natural phenomenon, either. The lightning shouldn't break through our barrier.» - She cast a severe look at the guard. - «Check the generator.»

The second guard cleared his throat and said respectfully:

«It isn't the first lightning this week, Lady Dinah... What if there is more?»

Dinah raised her graceful eyebrows. {Twice in a row? That's a strange coincidence. Anyway, it can't be a powerful practitioner trying to break in. The attempt would have been successful the first time... Should I report it to the patriarch?} - Dinah thought it over and decided that Bai should not be bothered about small matters. He had enough trouble being the head of the family.

Dinah resolutely turned around and went to the exit, giving the order to the guards:

«Return to your duty post.»

The guards obeyed at once. Anna made sure that her sister had left before she ran her fingers through her hair and walked gracefully to the shocked servant. She would never suspect that the powerful lightning had any connection with him.

«What are you doing here, boy? What happened? Why are you awake at this late hour?» - She asked, looking worried.

Kyon swallowed, pretending to suppress his fear. Finally, he ventured to take a look at the gorgeous blonde maid and said: «Lady Anna… I was working out at night to keep up with Lady Juno when suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning nearly killed me... As if gods themselves are angry at me for my good luck!»

Anna exhaled deeply. «I see. You'd better sleep at night if you don't want to get killed by lightning. Babies need a lot of sleep.»

Kyon quickly rose to his feet. She was messing up with him, and he couldn't understand why. «Do I look like a baby?»

A sweet smile lit up her face, her lips slightly parted when Anna turned to leave. She had sent him a message that she treated him like a child.

Kyon smiled wryly, unable to keep his mouth shut. «Lady Anna, did you take me for a baby when I defeated you, and you hurried to leave?»

The maid stopped and slowly turned around... Her beautiful face darkened. «Hmm, look who's talking…» - There was a shadow of a chilling smile on her face that made her look like Dinah.

Kyon coughed into his fist. He wished he knew how to hold his tongue. «I am sorry, ma'am. It was wrong of me to say that…»

But it was too late. Anna was already heading towards him with an elegant step. In the moonlight, the blonde girl was especially attractive. Her tight short nightie looked thinner than a veil of fog. Like enchanted, Kyon admired her slim waist and firm C-cup boobs. She had black high-heeled shoes... There must be blades inside if she had left them on.

«A slip of the tongue often speaks the truth. So, our last battle gave you the idea that I gave in. Well, you have grown bolder. Isn't it a bit too presumptuous of you?»

Kyon shook his head.

Anna approached him at arm's length, looking him up and down. «I've been searching for you to take revenge, but you must have been hiding... Let me dispel your doubts. I don't want you to think that I am a loser. Get ready for a fight. Now!» - Her voice gained a harsh tone at the end of her tirade. Her cultivation fell rapidly to the 4th stage of the base phase.

Kyon had no choice. He clenched his fists and took up a combat stance. It was time for a rematch that was bound to happen sooner or later. It was his chance to prove himself. Anna had to know why he was so important to Juno. At the same time, it would dispel any suspicion she might have about him.

Anna was determined to start a fight. She attacked mainly with her hands, using her feet only occasionally. One wrong move and blood would shed, given that there were sharp blades in her shoes...

Anna's every movement showed refined technique. However, the long heels hindered her performance, giving Kyon an advantage in some important points. He could see through her moves and launch a surprise attack at any moment. Anna had only the 4th battle fist and a half-speed advantage. She was no match for him... Had she the 5th battle fist, she might be.

Kyon chuckled to himself. It was in his power to decide the outcome of the battle. Losing on purpose had its pros, but he preferred to defeat the cheeky girl who dared to call him a baby.

Anna was trying really hard to hit him at least once. She was naive to think she could mislead him. She was red and out of breath... Anna spared no effort to win! It would be so disappointing to be defeated by a baby who needed a lot of sleep.

An evil grin appeared on Kyon's face. {Hell no, you won't win. You will lose to the baby boy. What will you feel after your defeat?} - He wanted to humiliate her, make her swallow her words. If Anna weren't so beautiful, Kyon would have only rolled his eyes at her provocation.

Anna growled furiously:

«Arrrgh! And that's it? All you can do is retreat?! What a lousy strategy! Are you afraid to hit me, baby?»

Anna did not understand what was going on. She was an unsurpassed high-profile assassin with a certificate of the 4th battle fist and half speed advantage, and she couldn't beat the pathetic servant! It was crazy! The boy's moves were completely illogical! The sly fox kept unpredictably changing the balance of his body. She tried to kick him in the leg, and he deftly dodged away as if he could see her with his third eye. She tried to mislead him, and he had already blocked her punch. It was a twisted dream... No martial art taught this style of movement. He had no style! Was he human?

A bitter sense of annoyance filled Anna's heart. It hurt so much... What if... What if she quietly raised her cultivation to the 5th stage? No, she couldn't do that. Or maybe she could…?

At some point, Anna saw a gap in his defense. She ran up to him, ready to strike, so close to winning. Was it her chance?

But then something happened that she didn't see coming... It must have been magic, but the boy managed to dodge and trip her, kicking her in the ankle. Damn high heels! He swept her off her feet, her head spinning. Anna flew forward and flopped down on the servant with all her weight.

Kyon smelled the pleasant aroma of the young girl and wished he could hug her warm, elegant body... However, he wanted to live even more.

In less than a couple of seconds, the maid pushed him away. Her beautiful face turned pale with fury. «Did you do it on purpose?»

Kyon looked at her pitifully and replied: «I'm sorry... I wanted to hit you before you fell on me... But then I realized that I just couldn't hurt you... I'm sorry, ma'am.» - It was his revenge for underestimating him.

Now Anna was furious. She had an urge to punch him in the face. In a split second, she grabbed the servant by the neck like a toy. «You little shit, don't you dare to underestimate me! We've been fighting for several minutes, but you only defended yourself! If Dinah was in my place, they'd have to scrape up what was left of you! But unlike my sister, I will give you another chance... Get ready to attack!»

As soon as Kyon took up a combat position, Anna threw off her high-heeled shoes. Her neat bare feet touched the cold surface of the arena. Her short nightie was wet with sweat, clinging to her slim body. It was a devilishly enchanting sight.

Anna was in a belligerent mood. At that moment, he wanted to defeat her by all means, conquer her and win her heart.

The fight began. Anna's piercing eyes could wipe her enemy off the world, but Kyon did not even think of looking the mad amazon in the eyes.

Kyon's eyes flashed. He showed inhuman flexibility arching his back and giving Anna a sidekick.

It seemed that Anna was going to get what she deserved, but she caught his leg with unprecedented speed and smashed him against the floor with such force that his bones cracked.

«Oh, I'm so sorry. You are so weak that I won in a heartbeat. Please, don't cry, baby. Your battle technique falls short just a little bit. But I'm sure when you grow up, you'll try your luck again. Will you?» - He could hear mockery with a pinch of contempt in her voice.

Anna's infinite insolence was shocking. She had secretly raised her cultivation. The idea of losing to this boy was unbearable to her.

Kyon wanted to object, but his big mouth had always got him into trouble. He pulled himself together and stayed lying still on the ground.

Anna looked into his eyes once again, picked up her shoes and quietly left the training ground.
