Hearing what he said, several people looked at each other especially the seniors, as if they urging each other to go.
"Can you go? That guy already fought three people, he must be tired"
"Look at his face, he seems looked like relaxed, that is tired?"
"He must be pretending…"
"Then why do you go and try it?"
Some of them were hesitant because they were really not sure if they can defeat this guy.
Now they already clarified why the top decided to use S-Ticket, that's because this guy was an absolute monster.
If this guy really joins the team, they know it will really boost the power of the team.
Even the instructors behind Kenile who were watching behind couldn't but exclaimed. One of the old instructors looked at Kenile and said: "This is why you rejected Baker's investment?"
"Yes" Kenile smiled and said. Deep inside, he was very proud, he made the best decision.
"This guy was almost an all-rounder, he's just lacking some long-range move, but it doesn't matter in the team fight, or 1 on 1, he can be a trump card." The old instructor said.
"But do you think with his personality, he can be a hidden trump card?" Kenile just shook his head helplessly.
"I think his personality can still be fixed a bit, I must think of a plan for this"
Kenile just nodded and said: "I hoped so"
"By the way, where did you find this guy?"
"It's from… Black Region!"
…
On the other side, Alfred who was watching the battle became more and more surprised. He was really confused now about how Tristan suddenly became strong like this.
He compared himself to Tristan and thought if he fights him, it might be 50-50. No, I think it's lower than 50.
This is why he was surprised, he heard about the situation in Black Region, every day there's an invasion of the beast, and people there can't stabilize their weekly cultivation, so it was surprising for Tristan to catch up with that situation.
And he actually managed to upgrade his mastery in Intermediate? Not only one, but two. There is also one beginner mastery, and lastly, a breathing technique, he also had it.
He looked at himself, and think of his mastery, the highest one was only beginner peak. Damn it, how did he do it?
Could it be, he also encountered an opportunity there?
Thinking of these, he looked at his ring.
Then looked at Tristan, he made a decision and was about to go to fight but he saw a person appear.
…
Tristan looked at the person who appeared in front of him, he was holding a spear again, but based on the way he was holding it, it seems, an element user.
He's looking warily at him and said "My name is Steph, Fourth Year…"
"Tristan Black"
Then few seconds, they started to fight.
Tristan saw his body vanish, he looked at his surroundings and then suddenly saw a fireball coming toward him and immediately move to his side and looked in the position where that element started and saw nothing and he confirmed it is:
Stealth
Then he saw many little bullet-shaped in fire firing toward him one by one.
Tristan immediately deflected them at a fast speed.
The good thing is it's coming one by one, not simultaneously.
Then another batch of flame bullet greeted him, the same scenario, Tristan deflected them one by one and then he saw a huge fire coming towards him.
"Fire Blast!"
"Double 18 Pound Slash!"
The fire split in the middle rushed to his left and right sides and exploded in the ground. Tristan didn't take damage much caused by the impact of the explosion.
He rushed towards Steph, and the latter immediately use another flame bullet against him.
Tristan dodges on the sides and deflects the other then used Demon Slash Towards him.
Steph predicted it and then used Flame Wave but he was stunned because after Tristan used Demon Slash, he rushed forward but didn't attack but withdraw his two swords and used the final impact of the Demon Slash to his sides then jumped.
Tristan used the Hawk Wave.
Steph became panicked and didn't know what to do so he just used the 'Flame Recoil' backward.
He flew away, and while flying away, he saw Tristan posture and shouted: "My Bad"
"36 Pound Slash"
Steph became desperate and used 'Flame Recoil' again for the second time.
This time he was smashed to the ground.
He spurted out of the blood and then used his Stealth then vanished again.
The confrontation was really shocking, even the people watching on the sides opened their mouths widely.
So Strong!
Steph was oppressed by this fight.
The way Tristan fought made their eyes light up. He didn't use his element much but mostly his sword technique, speed, and reflexes, while the element was just an Auxiliary for boosting his speed sometimes.
It's so Beautiful!
They rarely saw fighting like this, especially to a young man, Usually, you can only see a fight like this in some mid 20-30+ of age battle or some old people who had a deep foundation on their mastery.
And while amazed at what they saw, they heard a voice: "What's happened here?"
Some people looked behind and saw 10 people walking toward them.
"It's them!"
"They're back!"
"The 10 main members are back!"
"Captain Fred, Iris, Jade, Paul, Jess"
"Ariel, Shaun, Lyda, Josh, Frank"
"Nice timing, guys, captain, you must revenge us"
"Captain, that guy was extremely arrogant, he's insulting us…"
"You must teach that guy a lesson"
Seeing the core member of the team appear, the seniors felt revived with full of vitality, as if they feel there were still people that they can lean on.
"Tell me what happened here first" Fred said.
Then they told their resentment about how Tristan treated them like an ant, arrogant, insulting them, and defeating their own people.
"Captain, everyone, that guy is the one who got the S-Ticket" Alfred interjected with them and said.
"What? Is he?" Fred and everyone were surprised and felt intrigued, they became interested.
…
"They are back! Things will become more and more interesting" Another Female Instructor with glasses said with a smile.
"Headmaster, will it become troublesome?" The old instructor asked Kenile and worried a bit.
"Are not we here?" Kenile responded calmly.
"But headmaster, I predicted that guy will fight one of them later, can he still fight, he already fought three before and now" A tank top instructor asked him with concern.
Hearing his concern, Kenile just grin and said mysteriously
"Just watch, that guy didn't use his full strength, so later, it will be more interesting"
"What?" *3
"With that strength, he showed now, it already comparable to the peak of Early Stage, and if it's not his full strength, then… Oh, right, I still haven't seen his unique ability" The old instructor said.
"It may be a passive, right, headmaster?" The tank top instructor looked at Kenile.
"I'll tell you, it's not"
Another surprise is shown in their expression.
"How? With that strength…"
"It's really interesting"
"Headmaster, I feel we won a lottery these years, all of the genius suddenly popped out here"
"It's thanks to that girl, hahaha"
…
Back to the scene, Tristan just looked calmly. Even though he can't see his opponent, the latter might not know that the person he's facing was a nemesis of his ability.
Tristan can feel the vibration of his heartbeat.
On the other hand, Steph was gasping while carefully hiding a few meters away from Tristan.
He's a bit injured in a fight so he must be careful. his enemy was really strong, he must make a plan to consume him, and right, you heard it right. Steph's plan right now was not to defeat him but consumed his stamina for paving the way to the next contender.
He's watching Tristan and saw him re-sheathing his three swords then holding the sword on his right waist and the sword on his back. It seems he's making a stance and waiting for him to appear.
He also saw him closing his eyes.
What the hell are you doing? Are you underestimating me?
Seeing Tristan's action, Steph was a bit confused and couldn't but become angry.
Hmph, since you're giving me a chance then don't regret it!
He carefully adjusts his position a few meters away from Tristan and he was about to make a preparation, and when he saw Tristan start to take an action.
And then…
"Thunder Breathing First Form: Double Slash Flash Cutter!"
Steph saw Tristan act towards his position and then thought:
It's just a coincidence, right?
But then he saw Tristan, he felt like:
No, it's not! He really knows where I am!
But it's too late because Tristan already vanished and appeared in him.
Tristan slashed his two swords on the left side near Steph's neck and then stopped.
…
On the other side, people are confused about what Tristan's doing, he's slashing in nothing. That's because they can't see Steph, so they thought he was making fun again.
Even some core member was confused but didn't speak.
But Iris's eyes lit up and thought.
This guy was also a breathing user!
And that breathing style was different from what she knows.
Then she shook his head again.
No, she really doesn't know what it is.
So, she looked weirdly at Tristan.
There must be something different with this guy. That's because she really doesn't know him, and that was almost impossible for her, even in the…
or maybe he … at that time.
Then what is the reason for him to…
She was really confused.
…
On the instructor's side.
They didn't doubt what Tristan doing and also predicted what happened next.
"He's really good at breathing technique, headmaster, I'm really curious about his information, I think it's impossible for him to be in just Black Region, there must be something… " Said the female instructor.
"Do you know Silva Black?" Kenile asked her.
"Silva Black, hmm… I feel it sounds familiar, who's he?" The female instructor touched her chin and said.
"I also think, it sounds familiar" The tank top instructor also doubted it.
But the old instructor's eyes lit up and looked at the both of them: "You can't remember? It's your peers"
"Our peers?" Both of them exclaimed.
"But there are many people even in our generation, I can't remember all" The tank top instructor said.
"You can't remember all but I think you can remember some swordsman, right?" Kenile said with a smile.
"Swordsman…"
Then the female instructor's eyes also lit up and blushingly said: "Ah! That handsome man in Green Region!"
Hearing what the female instructor said, the headmaster and the old instructor almost rolled their eyes.
"In all everything you can think of, that's what your first thought?" The old instructor said angrily.
"Can you blame me? That's my first thought" The female instructor retorted angrily
The tank top instructor's eyes also lit up and said: "Is that guy? Didn't he die?"
"He's dead? Why I didn't know?" The female instructor was surprised.
"Yes, 2 years ago" The headmaster replied then tell them the story of Tristan.
…
Back to the battle
When Tristan stopped his two swords he looked coldly at him and said: "Will you come out?"
Then Steph deactivated his unique ability and appeared.
You can see the sweat rapidly flowing appeared on his face.
He thought he was really going to die this time.
That cold eyes, that aura, that strike. It seems like a dangerous beast glaring at its prey.
He doesn't feel that pressure much when he confronted some core member, but he felt it on this guy.
"I, I, su-sur-surrender, I surrender!" Steph shouted at him
Hearing the system prompt, he put back his sword and then…
Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap
He heard clapping sounds so he turned around and look.
He saw 10 people standing while looking at him
"So you are the one who got the last S-Ticker for this year huh..." Fred said to him.
But Tristan didn't respond because he heard the voice of the system inside of his mind.
[TRISTAN! THAT WOMAN! THAT WHITE-HAIRED WOMAN! THAT'S THE ONE WHO SAVED YOU BEFORE!]
