Chapter 22: The Colossus Randt
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translations Editor: EndlessFantasy Translations
Fendell looked at the playboy in front of him. For some reason, he felt uneasy. This was a warrior’s innate vigilance. However, he never expected that this famous bungling oaf figure in front of him would be a threat to him.
Using the most basic attacking posture, Fendell cried out as he dashed forward. He then slashed from top to bottom.
Rody’s expression was serious. This was the first time he had a formal match against an actual warrior. Although he had fought against other students before, this was the first time it was against an official warrior.
Both the warriors fought with basic skills as they moved about attacking each other. It was a rather lively scene with the sound of swords clashing.
Standing at the side, Carter was surprised. As far as he was concerned, for the bungling oaf to last three rounds against Fendell was already a miracle. Everybody knew that Young Master Seth's skills was in womanizing and not in swordsmanship.
However, Young Master Seth and Fendell seemed to be equally matched in strength! The most surprising thing for Carter was that Young Master Seth was actually using the most basic skills of swordsmanship. From Carter’s many years of experience, he could see with a glance that Young Master Seth’s swordsmanship was definitely not inferior to Fendell! In fact, he was probably stronger and more skillful than Fendell! Also, he could see clearly that Young Master Seth had obviously gone through rigorous training in swordsmanship! Although he had not yet gained the upper hand then, it was only because he was nervous.
The other warriors were also surprised. When did that bungling oaf suddenly become so strong?
Two months ago, Nicole had also brought this bungling oaf to participate in training. However, in just a short while, the oaf had ended up running away with the sword while being chased by one of the guards! As a result of Seth's disgraceful display, Nicole had looked terribly disappointed. That was why Instructor Carter specifically looked for the weakest warrior to train with the young master.
While these varying thoughts ran through the onlookers' minds, the two men fought on.
Clang!
The two swords clashed again! Rody backstepped twice and watched his opponent’s movements.
This was the ninth time the swords had clashed. Rody could feel that his opponent’s wrist strength was weaker than his own. Most likely, his opponent’s wrist had begun to feel numb. It was well known in the Academy that Rody’s wrist strength was the strongest. To continue fighting with Rody so recklessly would only result in Fendell’s defeat!
Fendell’s face had already turned red from the rush of blood. No matter how he thought about it, he could not figure out when did this ‘famous bungling oaf’ suddenly became so strong. At
this moment, his right hand had started to tremble. The pain in his hand was genuine.
He had also realized Young Master Seth’s proficiency in swordsmanship was now higher than his!
Nicole was secretly pleased as she watched from the side. Rody’s current strength satisfied her. She had arranged for today’s training so as to test out Rody’s real strength. Naturally, Nicole also had another intention. She was smart and knew that these men had complaints about her little brother. If things continued as such, the Tulip Family’s heir would have no dignity. Today, it would be better to make use of Rody to redeem their trust towards the heir of the Tulip Family. Otherwise, they would forever assume that the Tulip Family’s heir was a useless bum.
Rody’s nervousness dissipated gradually.
His movements became smoother and his mind became less distracted. His strikes were now being parried by Fendell in an increasingly frantic manner to the point where Fendell could no longer cope.
Sensing Fendell faltering, Rody shouted, “Go!”
With another loud bang, Fendell could no longer hold his sword and the sword was sent flying by Rody. Taking advantage of his opponent’s surprise, Rody gave him a flying kick. Fendell was kicked in the waist and fell down. Rody then put the sword at his neck.
“Stop!” Carter shouted at the right time.
After that, Rody nodded and stepped back. He said in a low voice, “You lose.”
Fendell’s face turned red. Without saying a word, he got up and picked up his own sword. He then bowed to Rody before striding back into formation.
Carter's face had a puzzled expression as he said in a peculiar voice, "Young Master Seth seemed to have made a lot of progress recently. Congratulations to Young Master and to Miss!"
Nicole showed a satisfied smile. She looked at Rody gently now, unlike on previous occasions.
“Randt! Step forward!” Before Rody could speak, Carter had issued another order.
A scene suddenly flashed in Rody’s mind! The sword stroke that Master Autumn showed him that day! That sword stroke that can shake heaven and earth!
Power!
Hmph! Power? Your muscle power is strong indeed! But what is the use of such measly power when it encounters real power?!
