Kieran swiftly dashed out of the study room and closed the door when he was out .
Anne Aldrich Augen's laughs never stopped throughout the process .
Anyone who heard her laughs will feel the delight in her heart, including Kieran .
In fact, as the person involved, he couldn't do anything despite he knew it was one of Anne Aldrich Augen's test again . If he didn't need her help in certain places, Kieran wouldn't mind teaching her an unforgettable lesson .
But now?
Leaving was the only choice he had .
Kieran arrived at the corridor that he dropped by last night, the shattered window and torn carpet had been replaced by new ones .
Kieran's knowledge was not enough for him to judge the value of these things but from the looks of Anne Aldrich Augen's attitude, these things should be pricey .
"That damn woman!"
The moment Kieran thought about Anne Aldrich Augen, he remembered the previous scene again and instinctively commented on her behavior .
Until he saw Mayer on the side of the corridor, only then he swiftly put away his messy thoughts .
Both of them should be on the same side now but facing against a powerful fighter, Kieran knew what he should do that would cause things to end in the best manner .
The one who lost his vigilance would be the one who suffered a terrible death .
Kieran had no intentions of being one .
"You are strong," Mayer said directly and outspoken .
Similar to his square facial features that looked rigid, his words sounded hard like a robot as well .
"I want to have a friendly spar . " Mayer didn't conceal his thoughts, or in other words, a person like Mayer didn't know how to conceal his thoughts .
Kieran frowned against the suggestion, it wasn't rejection but surprised .
[Discovered sub-mission: Friendly Spar]
[Friendly Spar: Fighter Mayer wished to spar with you to train his own technique, it is also a rare opportunity for you as well, especially when you win…]
A very surprising sub-mission, the contents even exceeded Kieran's expectation but after being dazed for a while, he quickly came back to his senses .
"Sure!"
Kieran would not reject given the arrival of a sub-mission .
"Follow me . "
Seeing Kieran agreed in a straightforward manner, Mayer's rigid face had softened a bit . He turned around and lead Kieran outside to an empty space within the manor .
The empty space was another garden beside the manor's main building and was different from what Kieran had seen before, this new garden was much more primitive .
Most of the flowers were grown on the ground, not in the gardening pots .
It added a different livelihood to the flowers and when the afternoon breeze blew, the aroma of the flowers wound enter one's nose and cause one to squint in satisfaction .
Of course, it didn't include Kieran at that particular moment .
Following a short "Shall we begin?", Mayer started to look at Kieran fiercely like a tiger .
When Kieran nodded, the blade-like aura from Mayer exploded immediately, as though he was an ignited barrel of explosive filled with sharp blades .
The feel of sharp blades cutting one's his face made Kieran squint his eyes unconsciously .
Without even looking at the notification spamming his visions, Kieran also knew if he didn't possess a high enough Spirit attribute, he might be terrified before he even started the fight .
"Spiritual battle tactics?"
Kieran thought of it while he squinted his eyes .
It wasn't the first time he came in contact against the battle tactics that utilized one's own aura and battle manner to suppress his enemy . Whether it was in the chats with Lawless during their hangouts or the enemies he used to fight, everything had allowed Kieran to experience real spiritual battle tactics .
Though, it was the first time Kieran came across a furious aura like Mayer's .
It wasn't even exaggerating to say that the suppression from Mayer's aura and manner was already similar to [Half-Dead's Gaze]'s [Deadman's Gaze]'s effect .
Kieran clearly could feel a similar suppression from him, but against Kieran's strongest Spirit attribute, the suppression was still too weak .
Even Kieran had suffered the penalty of -3 to all his attributes, SS+ Spirit granted Kieran the power to face such suppression as though it was a slight breeze to the face .
But as seconds passed, the slight breeze grew stronger .
The slight breeze turned into a strong gale and further elevated into a rampant cyclone!
Kieran still didn't budge at all, he stood there on the spot as though he had turned into a small hill .
He stood there mightily without the slightest movements!
KABOOM!
A heavy explosion later, Mayer moved .
The first step he took, the rampant cyclone around him wreaked havoc .
The flowers on the ground around him were uprooted together with the dirt and petals . They were flying around as though an unknown furious beast was inside that rampaging cyclone, stirring everything into a mess as it threw itself at Kieran .
BANG!
Kieran raised his kick in a straight line, striking precisely on the beast's head!
Amidst the heavy blow, the petals and dirt flew off and revealed the true face of the beast: Mayer's fist!
The erected veins on his iron fist were like the roots of an old tree, supporting that metallic-like skin around it .
Garks!
A tooth numbing screech later, Mayer retracted his punch and so did Kieran with his kick but right after that, both of them attacked again .
Wooosh!
The right fist was switched to the left fist and the right kick was switched to the left kick .
The fist and the foot clashed once more with powerful energy and a harsh air-whistle .
Bang!
BANG BANG BANG!
A second time, third, fourth…
Each time their fist and foot collided, they'd split up right away and launched another round of attack .
Sounds of heavy clashes were ceaseless and relentless . The barrage of fists and feet lasted for a whole full minute .
BANG!
Another hard clash later, both of them split up again but this time, neither of them moved further .
Kieran's face had a sense of shock, he had already tried to overestimate Mayer's strength but he didn't think Mayer would be on par with him in hand-to-hand combat, even though it was just a hard brawl absent of any technique .
Compared to Kieran's shock, Mayer was overwhelmed .
Mayer's hands were quivering, his iron-like skin on his hand had visible bruises, it was completely unbelievable for Mayer .
One needed to know that Mayer's hands had gone through rigorous training of a secret legacy technique . Even facing against bullets, his hands would be free from any scratches, literally . It also was a part of his rigorous training .
Aches, numbness, pain, all three sensations were transferred from his hands to his heart .
It reminded Mayer of his early days to become a fighter . Back in the day, he had to endure thousands and thousands of painful sensation .
The feeling was strange yet familiar to him .
Mayer took in a deep breath . His rigid face was overflowing with the true excitement of a fanatic .
"AGAIN!" Mayer growled .
Then, the technique that Mayer used last night was performed again as he appeared in front of Kieran as though he teleported . His right hand was in a chopping stance, slashing down towards Kieran .
This time around, it was different than the hard clashes from before .
An extremely unique power enveloped Mayer's right-hand slash .
It looked formless yet was constrained to a shape, it should be invisible yet ripples rippled out of his hand .
The power made his hand slash as sharp as a real blade! Even on par with some famous swords that was forged into existence!
