False Hero - Chapter 170

(Third Person perspective)

“For starters, these four people you have over there are pretty weak. Even for support, all three of them are weak. Well, I know that you have your trust in my cousin but seriously this four are the best support you can provide her?”

said Grey which obviously made professor Meier very much furious. It was very much apparent from his facial expression.

Every nerve of his face was bulging out of his face. But Grey still continued “Sir, you don’t need to get so angry. I am the one that is very much furious. Have someone ever told you that you are pretty biased, I think no one has told you this since you seem pretty proud of your —– this attitude.”

Grey looked dead in Professor Meier’s eye as he spoke. In his bright purple indigo eyes, there was no fear.

‘He—— there is no trace of fear in his eyes.’ thought the professor. A forced smile formed across his face he thought ‘that’s right, I didn’t show the first year to fear me. I will give them the reason to fear me and especially —– I want to see fear in this brat’s eye.’

With a wide smile, the professor looked towards Grey as he spoke “Well, —- I see, I see. Does anyone has a similar problem as his?”

He asked as he looked around and there was no one who dared to raise their hand except for ——

Walk raised his hand as he said “Sir, I have a similar problem and I think I deserve a chance.”

“A chance?” said Professor Meier as he clapped. Looking around he asked, “No one else right?” Rather than a question, it sounded more like a threat.

“ehhhh, that awfully sounds like a threat,” said Grey, not loudly but audible enough to be heard by the professor.

The smile didn’t wear off the professor’s face as he gestured Grey and Walk to enter the ring,

“Come on in. Let everyone see how capable both of you are.”

Grey and Walk to the center of the ring. Grey looked towards the professor as he asked “Now what? You desperately want to prove that we are weaker than the students you have picked for the competition right?”

Grey laughed as he said, “It’s obvious by your face. Well —-“. Grey extended both of his hands as if he was embracing someone. It was an open challenge for the professor ” —-I am ready to fight anyone.”

The smile on the professor’s face even got wider as he said “Now then, if you guys are so excited then I will give you both a challenge.”

Professor Meier turned to look at the team that he had selected as he said “Dean and Flock Dirksen, you both go and have a little spar with them and if you both lose then Walk and Grey will win the entry among the five students that will take part in the competition.”

He turned to look at Grey as he said “Dean and Flock, you both can get a little rough since a proper winner won’t be decided otherwise.”

With a sharp look in his eyes, Grey asked “Then you won’t have any problem if I get a little rough with them.”

“Sure sure,”, The professor raised his hand as he said “Now that both the team is standing away from each other, I will tell the rules. The fight will happen with the wooden weapon and it will be between two teams.”

He pointed toward Dean and Flock as he said “These are the two very capable students that I chose to take part in the inter-house competition. and —–” he pointed towards Grey and Walk as he continued “These two are new students of this year so they don’t know a lot about this academy, but this fight will give them a lot of experience.”

The audience which consisted only of the warrior class was very much salty about this.

“This two think that they can beat Dean and Flock? I bet that even I can beat both of these kids single-handedly.”

“It looks like the first year doesn’t know their place.”

“Looking at the way the white-haired guy was talking to the professor it looks like he was pampered his whole life. Well, it makes sense since he is a prince.”

“Are you sure that he is a prince since I have never heard of his name before?”

“Must be some kind of fake who is trying to imitate Eira Hoffmann.”

The audience had a lot to say and none of them had anything good to say. Professor raised his hand to silence the noisy arena as he said “Start!”

“Grey!! My friend!! today we have to fight, but don’t take it personally okay since the professor has told me to do it. After this fight, I will personally train you and make sure that you enter the inter-house competition next year.” said Dean with a friendly smile.

Without giving much attention to Dean, Grey pointed towards Walk that was holding a wooden sword in his hand as he said “I appreciate everything you said, but your opponent is him.”

Walk held his wooden sword tightly as he said “It would be my pleasure to fight with you.”

“Yeah, mine too.” There was no warmth in Dean’s word.

Grey on the other hand was standing in front of Flock as he held his wooden sword.

Pointing his wooden sword towards Grey, Flock spoke “You are the same Grey that traumatized my cousin. You animal!!! using cheap tactics you traumatized my brother, that is not the way of a warrior. Today!! I will teach you how a warrior fights.”

Flock was awfully loud when he spoke. It was hard for Grey to figure out whether he speaking like this intentionally or not.

With a confused look, Grey asked “You cousin? oh right!! you are Dirksen, right? Dirksen the family of warriors, your brother is Killian Dirksen. but —– I don’t remember traumatizing him.”

Professor Meier spoke, “Now that both of the sides are ready, you are free to start the match.”

Flock’s eyes widened in anger, “You don’t remember? you traumatized my brother and you don’t remember? you beat him to half death state and you —-”

His other was swallowed back into his throat as he felt sudden but an extreme gush of pain traveled through his face. The sudden impact crashed against his face, knocking him down.

In shock, Flock held his face as he didn’t know what happened, he could only see his bleeding nose. But as he regained a bit of his sense, he saw that a wooden sword was in front of him which was not his wooden sword.

Without wasting any more time, Flock grabbed hold of his sword as he tried to stand up.

The impact that was felt by Flock was because of Grey’s wooden sword that Grey threw at Flock’s face. After throwing the sword, Grey dashed towards Flock before he could get up.

Flock looked towards Grey as he grabbed hold of his sword. But before he could look, a knee buried into his nose.

A sharp pain radiated from his nose to his eyes, before thrashing to his brain. The knee that Grey’s struck in his nose was enough to knock Flock out before he could stand up.

Walk was moving carefully towards Dean and so did Dean. The act of Grey knocking Flock happened so quickly that Dean couldn’t even realize that his partner was out.

‘I will have to knock this kid quickly so that I can show my move to Grey. I will have to show him how superior I am so that he will join me and I will have the most powerful subordinate. But I can’t just get rough with this kid since I need to maintain a good image in front of the student. I need to play the good guy to be everyone’s favorite.

Flock will easily handle Grey till I deal with this kid. I hope that he doesn’t get overboard, well even if he does, I will stop him and Grey will be grateful to me.’

He turned to look at Grey and Flock as he spoke ‘Talking about them, why do I hear boos from the audience what happened——-”

What he saw was a knocked-out flock. The boos were aimed at Grey since the audience that Grey had used cheap tactics to knock out Flock.

Grey picked flock up as he turned to look at Dean. Picking up the unconscious Flock, Grey threw Flock towards Dean as he said “Walk, Fuck him up!!”

Dean quickly stepped ahead in a hasty manner to avoid getting hit by the unconscious Flock. Flock fell on the ground behind Dean.

The distraction caused Dean to look away, but he looked back towards Walk as he realized that this was only a distraction. But it was too late as Walk drove the back his sword inside Dean’s nose.

The sharp pain caused Dean to step back. Due to being hit on the nose, Dean’s eye got teary.

Dean quickly regained from the confusion of being hit but it was not quick enough since Walk had his wooden sword in Dean’s neck.. It was the end of the match and the winner were Grey and Walk.
