Chương 42: Turntables [1/2]

'I definitely evaded them all, did I really get hit?' He wondered while feeling a trickle along his cheek. Instinctively, he wiped it away when he was greeted with his palm full of blood.

In the following moments, they began lowering their guards and conversing casually.

Creig and his girlfriend trotted over.

"Why do you two keep bickering over nonsense." Creig's ear felt like they wanted to run away as a result of the constant quarrel of the two, mostly the saber-wielding student, Forsen.

"She was the one that almost made him get away. I told you she was too weak to be doing this sort of thing." Forsen complained in a voice everyone found annoying.

"It wasn't that I was too low, It's simply that he was fast. Can't you understand that not everyone is an idiot as weak as you, so every time they do something simple as dodging you instantly blame me, instead of trying to use your walnut-sized brain for something other than scream"

"What did you say!"

"Forsen, Enough with that. Let's forget about it. That scream should be from Jeffery go check him out."

Forsen grounded his teeth and stormed away angrily.

Creig being left with Vanessa, they both turned to Junya.

"How long will it take to set in, he seems to be standing," Creig asked turning his attention to Junya.

Vannesa also looked in that direction and couldn't give a straight answer. However, she had to start somewhere.

"My knives are laced with potent poison that attacks the body's motor functions. A lot of students have some form of a universal vaccine that will allow them to neutralize a surfeit of poisons. However, I planned for something like this and laced it with a variety of different drugs, enough to put him in a comatose state, so he shouldn't be standing for long even with a universal vaccine.

Creig rubbed his chin growing chin hairs out of habit while looking at Junya who was slightly dazed.

"Babe, why don't you just knock him out now, wouldn't that be much easier?" His girlfriend chimed in.

He never replied, limiting himself to look at Junya from where he stood.

***

Junya was forced to stand still for a second to examine his body. He could feel a headache starting to spread from the back of his head, which made his vision become hazy.

"Wenji! I need to get a potion from that idiot!!" Junya yelled internally, quickly activating Asura's step, his figure flickered barely giving the others time to widen their eyes in surprise.

Vanessa was the only one quick enough to get off a knife attack but missed by a landslide.

"Jack lookout." Someone yelled from behind. Junya didn't care about who they were calling.

Wenji's Captor was busy rubbing his eyes and frustratingly banging Wenji's head. At full speed Junya came down with a heavy right hook, blowing Wenji's Captor through shrubs and branches.

In one hand, he grabbed Wenji who was scrambling between consciousness.

"Get him!" Creig shouted in rage. Vanessa and Forsen quickly ran away, but the loud booms that sounded from Junya's feet made connecting on surfaces made it daunting, along with the distance he covered.

'What the hell is that did that bitch poison me with. After unlocking my Elo command, I never expected to be poisoned like this again, what did she hit me with.' Junya was puzzled by the effects it had on his body, not knowing he was heavily drugged.

This prevented him from running at full speed at all times and made it possible for Vanessa and Forsen to gain on him after going full speed themselves.

"Finally found you!" Forsen yelled half tired from exhausting all his energy.

Vanessa fared the same but never spared a second sending her throwing knives toward him, aiming at where he would be however failed to land anyone on target.

Junya's speed was simply a lot greater than them both.

Without putting too much thought, he cut his speed to a slow attacking Vanessa first, with a scissor kick to the ankle, killing all her momentum mid-air and making her fall in a spinning motion.

The maneuver was fast and for Vanessa, the pain of her fractured ankle came with a pained cry.

"Arghhh!" Her scream was one filled with panic, almost like a little girl that was lost. She only stopped after hitting the ground barrelling through the dirt.

Forsen knew her pained cry wasn't fake and the sigh of her foot twisted backward was proof.

Without sparing time to pity Vanessa, Forsen was able to catch up on himself and wielded his saber sending multiple slashes toward Junya.

Junya was too drugged up to commend him on the fast reaction that he had toward the incident. Instead, his sluggish movement made it difficult to dodge his attacks preventing him from leaving.

"Bastard, you really are a handful, Let's see if you're faster than my blade!" His sword came downing a swift motion toward Junya. He never planned to fight Forsen because his inability to think calmly was compromised, which meant his ability to fight.

Preemptively jumping back, the strike narrowly missed the head of Wenji who was passed out. The had no time to rest, immediately using back-breaking dodging postures to keep all his limbs to himself.

Dozens of slashes gave him close shaves with slash wounds to his body, before slipping away and starting to run away.

Forsen gave another attempt and attacked them, using razor-sharp winds from his saber, however, Junya was already ahead.

"How can this prick be so fast! What the fuck is his movement skill, this isn't even fucking fair!" Forsen cursed while giving chase toward Junya.

'Just… Run!'

Like a mantra that put his mind in a trance, Junya repeated those words constantly. Hoping to force his body to continue running despite how he felt.

"Stop right there!"

After only covering a few hundred meters in a few steps, Forsen managed to catch up to him with faster strides which required his full speed. He was exhausted and annoyed to a great extent at Junya's tenacity and his idiotic speed.

"You're done!"

Forsen employed his skill and released a large air slash well in front of the path of Junya, which failed to hit him but successfully made him stop. The attacks continued past him and exploded into the forest behind him.

"Now you have nowhere to go. I don't know which life you thought you could outrun me, but not this one!"

Forsen cackled raising his saber into the air. His body shot out like lighting madly wielding his weapon towards Junya.

'Dammit'

He cursed throwing Wenji to the ground, giving him enough time to slip through the countless slashes at his body. Forsen looked oddly weary, contrary to how rapidly he was swinging his sword.

Junya kicked his wrist and extended the blow toward his chin. Forsen was dazed by the lightning-quick counter.

He followed with another kick to the rib sending him to the trunk of the tree.

Urgh!

Forsen released a pained grunt but quickly managed to stand back on his feet after wiping away some blood from his mouth.

"You're really in for it buddy. You might have a little skill but you won't be able to fight all of us at once."

In his druken-like stupor, Junya was able to ascertain some truth in what he was saying. No matter how long he was able to fight Forsen to a draw, there was little chance of pulling away victorious.

"Haha, now you realize, now break out legs and hand over that degenerate."

Despite being put down quickly, Forsen got back up as if nothing happened and began dashing toward Junya.

'I need the potion now dammit!'

A grimacing scowl hung grew on Junya's face as his mental strength was being drained. Lest he wanted to appear in another crazed state that would endanger everyone around him and direction in his life.

Pah!

Wenji groaned as Junya rocketed his fist into his chest.

"Give me the damn Potion, NOW…"

Wenji's woke from his blacked-out state to hear a monstrous voice assaulting his ear and jolting his brain into overdrive. He could see the grimacing look on Junya's face that relayed the sense of urgency and the state he was in.

His mental health was being distorted by whatever drug was laced in the knives. Junya himself didn't want to imagine if something would happen if he were to blackout.

Junya raised his fist again, but Wenji quickly pulled another vial from his waist. He didn't even have enough time to pull it out until he grabbed it, turning it into his mouth.

Boom!

Forsen released a saber strike toward them to stop whatever they were colluding which resulted in crescent moon explosion turning up the dirt into the air.
