Ficool

Chapter 43 - CHAPTER 43

Blow after blow, he doesn't give her enough time to react.

A straight to the throat, a punch in the legs, a blow to the stomach, a hook in the temple.

Punches seems to rain down on her, she narrows her eyes, she then spins and kicks at him, not caring about the attacks.

Sean blocks the attack but his expression changes, he was actually pushed back even after receiving the attack with his guard.

'As I thought, why waste such gifts?' He thought as she watches her change her stance, having her legs high.

She dashes towards him, his expression turns grim, it was too fast, once again he receives slashes marks in his body.

Before she can turn back, a punch was already flying towards her, it was stronger than his earlier punches.

'Her dash seems to transcend the speed barrier of a martial artist but she can't steer it, that means that she can only attack in a straight line!'

Sean stomps the ground as his speed suddenly accelerates.

BAM! He hits her with a traditional karate strike, hitting her in her stomach.

Missel's eyes widens, she looks at the students around her but none notices it.

Only her and one person.

Ignacia raises her head and looks at the person she's fighting in a dumbfounded expression.

That was her trump card, albeit flawed but seeing another person use it is still quite shocking for her.

'It seems her burst of speed is actually not just from her muscles.' He thought, feeling his legs ringing.

He might not have her family technique but he has something she don't, his control over his muscles.

He can't use such move haphazardly, if it were anyone else, their legs would've slumped to the ground already.

Seeing him unmoving, the shock that Ignacia felt disappears.

'So, it was not only weaker but it also has a massive drawback in his body.' Her eyes are quite sharp.

She dashes towards him once again but this time, a loud smack was heard by everyone.

She lies on the ground with a fist mark on her face, this scene stunes everyone.

Meanwhile, Sean stands there unmoving, his fist was raised in front of him and it was actually smoking.

A new slash mark appears to the side of his body but compared from earlier, this one is actually much lighter.

Ignacia quickly stands but her balance was broken by a punch.

Flicker jab!

He starts dishing out his specialty, jab after jab.

She grits her teeth and slashes at the floor, pushing herself off the ground and spinning a kick at the direction where the jabs are coming from.

'As expected, her combat sense is top-notch, I can't defeat her without risking myself.' He thought.

Without the use of his techniques and abilities, it seems that defeating her seems impossible.

'Oh well, I guess I'll just take it one step at a time.' His body then seems starts to sway together with his jabs.

They became sharper, faster and his reach gotten longer.

Ignacia didn't expect that his reach can actually grow longer, she wasn't able to defend herself as she was taken by surprise.

Sean's each punch actually releases a sound that seems to be a whip.

"An harassment type attack." Missel frowns and she looks down on the flicker jab.

"No, if that's the case, teacher Ignacia would've already advanced towards but look." Bones shakes his head and points at Ignacia.

Just as he had speculated, the flicker jabs Sean was sending is not normal, they are cutting through her skin and if she's hit by it, a penetrating force seems to course through her body.

She lowers her stance, bracing herself with her hand in her face and her legs planted firmly.

She sharpens her hand into a spear and her body lowering into a charging stance.

Sean senses danger but didn't stop his attack, this change of style seems to be more dangerous than earlier.

'Her aim should be my heart but she lowers it because this was only a sparring match.' He thought.

He immediately recognized what kind of attach she's going to make and he can't deny that it was a lethal one.

Once again, Ignacia seems to disappear in the eyes of everyone.

BAM! She was knocked down by Sean's fist but her spearhand has pierced through his hands.

Using his hand to block the attack, hardening it with muscle control was the only method he can think of to survive the attack.

'Welp, there goes my right hand, miss Ignacia is still in a rather fine state, I guess this is my loss.' He thought.

Meanwhile, Ignacia shakes her head, trying to recover from all the shock she received from all the blows to her head.

The fist mark on her face is quite striking, the power of this counterattack actually damages her but not too deeply.

He raises his hand in a striking position, the muscles on his legs starts throbbing as veins starts pulsing.

If he's going to lose, he will at least create a perfect skill for him.

BAM! Before Ignacia can react, he appears in front of him and strikes her down with all his strength.

Chopping left!

He sighs and says. "It seems that I'm no match against a silver ranker without using my cards."

"Big sister!" Just as he was about to raise his hand to surrender, Missel runs towards the lying Ignacia.

"Huh? What are you doing? Ignacia isn't so fragile that she would be heavily injured with attacks without vital force." He was confused with her reaction.

He then realized that Ignacia wasn't moving, his expression changes as he looks at her with his spiritual sense.

He release a sigh of relief after sensing that she's doing fine, just unconscious.

'Wait! Unconscious?' His reaction turns to shock as he looks at his opponent lying down in front of him.

If she's knocked out, then, it meant, he was the winner in their spar but he's sure his attacks doesn't deal that much damage to her.

Unbeknownst to him, she might recover quickly after resting but all those blows to the face shakes her brain and she's barely holding on in her consciousness after receiving multiple blows on them.

The ones that dealt the most blow were the counterattacks she ran towards to.

With her speed, Sean's abnormal body, the damage was devastating.

"I guess that this is the end of our spar." He mutters before turning to Missel.

"She's just sleeping, she'll wake up after a couple of minutes, I think it's better if you spar with Jericho during this time." She glares at him but hearing the normal breathing from her sister, she reluctantly believes him.

"Since you guys are still recovering from yesterday's bout, I think that you should just do some light exercises, except for Kommi and Bones." He instructs before carrying Ignacia to a corner.

"Hey, am I really going to fight this guy, no offense but I am trained by my family and sister, he doesn't even have any formal training." Missel frowns when she looks at Jericho.

"The two of you are truly opposites, just like Kommi and Bones, sparring with each other will definitely help the two of you." Sean states.

He then looks at Kommi and starts teaching her some lethal moves knowing that with her gentle nature, other moves will not help her defeat enemies.

For Bones, he didn't teach him any lethal techniques and only double down on basics.

His body is filled with injuries and hidden ones that he acquired in all his years of fighting.

Just as he was teaching the two, both Jericho and Missel starts their spar.

Compared to what transpired with Sean and Ignacia, their fight is considered quite bland.

It's just Missel bullying Jericho with her technique, just like her sister, it seems that she focuses on her legs.

Sean watches with a frown, he realizes that Jericho doesn't know how to wield his newfound strength efficiently.

Jericho was gritting his teeth when he heard Sean shouting.

"Stop overthinking and fight using that wildness of yours!"

"Missel, watch out for unconventional attacks, think of him as some sort of mystique creature."

Missel sneers inwardly but just as she was about to continue in her attack, Jericho ducks and charges at one of her legs.

She slaps him away but she feels something pulling her hand.

Her expression changes, she didn't expect that she was careless enough to let her opponent captured her hand.

Jericho grits his teeth but all those sparring matches with Sean, the advised he gave continues to replay in his mind.

While she's imbalanced, he kicks her leg before spinning in a complex position, slashing at her with his nails.

Spearhand, Missel immediately notices his attack, she was falling to the ground and right now, only one of her hand is free.

Grabbing his wrist, she takes a deep breath and throws him to the side.

Jericho clicks his tongue after landing to the floor, he had underestimated a martial artist's strength.

Rolling to the floor, he stabilizes his body and raises his head, only to see a rapidly approaching foot.

BAM! His head was blown backwards from the impact, Missel wasn't finished yet, she starts raining down kicks at him.

Sean watching everything, shouts. "Flip yourself and use your hands as feet, twists your body to maximize the strength of your kicks!"

Missel unconsciously follows his advised as her kicks became more fluid and faster.

"Using one's upper body to support the lower body, this is the first time I heard of this." Ignacia wakes up, looking at her little sister, she was a bit surprised to see her fighting style.

"Miss-" Sean doesn't finish what he wants to say when Ignacia raises her hand.

"Don't call me that if you respect me, call me Cherry, that's my given name." She states.

"Then, Cherry, a human body is a temple, our potential is something that we can't measure just by numbers and such, we can only try our best to unearth them." He then points at Jericho.

The latter was now crouching like a beast, he then escapes the barrage with a bloody face.

He's moving in an erratic manner, sharp and nimble but he crouches like a beast, running around Missel.

Missel's charges at him, only to miss and a kick was sent flying on her face.

Using his opponent as a footstool, he spins and kicks her in the face once again.

Missel grits her teeth, after taking that kick, she no longer attacks carelessly and raises her leg.

Jericho had seen this stance earlier from Cherry and knows that it wasn't no simple gesture.

He starts running like a wolf, dashing around her but when he tries to attack, Missel predicted his intention and kicks him in the face.

Jericho's consciousness seems to flash off, only to return after a couple of seconds but he was already at Missel's mercy.

Once again he's subjected to her onslaught, this time, it was more fluid.

Not just kicks but also punches, slap, knees and elbows, she was dishing out attacks as much as she can.

Sean can't help but whistle, this was basically the same as CQC State but only focuses in delivering blows.

"Okay, that's enough, Jericho had already lost." He walks towards her and pats her shoulder.

She freezes and takes a deep breath before releasing impure energies.

That was a great bout for her, she had the upper hand all the time but there's still a chance that Jericho might take things around that's why she desperately attacks him with all her strength.

"As you can see Bones, your fighting style is clearly more ruthless than Jericho but he would defeat you if you two ever fights, it's because his instinct is greater than yours but still trains in proper martial arts."

Bones agrees with his words, if he fights people like Kommi, the chances of him winning is quite high but fighting ruthless individuals like Sean and Jericho makes his fighting style at an disadvantage.
