Chapter 158: Courage

Chapter 157 - Courage

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Metallic loud sounds echoed in the whole area as two figures were clashing against each other. Sparks flew everywhere every time their weapons collided.

Both of the fighters were armed with metallic gauntlet and gloves.

Bargan, Bryan, Lumilia, and Alice were on the corner of the training ground watching both fighters clashed against each other.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Souta swiftly moved his body from side to side. He was one of the two fighters in the center.

He stepped forward and threw a powerful punch.

Swoosh!

His opponent was a very agile woman. She had a flexible body and good reflexes that put Souta down several times. She was the Vice President of the Souta's fan Union club, Jeanne Livenest.

Jeanne clenched her first and she also threw her punch towards Souta. She wasn't at Souta's body, she was just using her punch to block all of Souta's attack. Using her attack as a defense and it was very effective.

Both of their fists collided and it caused a powerful gust of wind.

Souta knitted his eyebrows as he was pushed back. He felt that both of his arms were going to snap if he continued doing this.

A huge shadow covered Jeanne's body. Jeanne looked up and saw Yuko above her. She quickly moved her body to the side and Yuko slammed the ground with her huge body.

Bang!

Jeanne pulled back both of her fists as she appeared in front of Yuko. She launched powerful punches causing Yuko to flew and crashed on the ground leaving a trail of smoke from behind.

Looking at this, Souta raised both of his hands in the air and said, "I've lost. Your strength is more than I could handle."

Jeanne was a paraponera, a demi famous for their powerful raw strength. He was no way to match her brute strength with his current stats. Although he knew that he wasn't Jeanne's match, he still couldn't believe that she was stronger than he imagined.

She could overwhelm him just by using her raw strength. He and Yuko wouldn't stand a chance against Jeanne.

"No, it's my pleasure to accompany you in your training," Jeanne said. She then smiled and praised him. "Still, I think that your strength is very impressive. I wouldn't be that long before you catch up to me."

"That's right, your strength is enough to defeat most of the second-year students in this institute. I personally think that you would be able to rank in the top 20 of the second year." Bargan stepped forward and said. It wasn't that long since Souta enrolled in the institute. He personally saw the tremendous improvement of Souta's strength with his own eyes.

"I see..." Souta nodded his head and he looked at his palm. Without using the [Vajra Sword Saya], it was hard to match the higher students of the Ladro Institute.

"Since you've used your points to hire to personally instruct you, I will teach you some skills to improve your taming ability," Bargan said to him.

Souta lifted up his head and looked at Bargan when he heard Bargan's words.

"Taming ability?" Souta asked.

"Yes, I'll impart you some of my skills." Bargan nodded at him.

"Damn! I want to have a pet too." Bryan said with a hint of jealousy. He didn't have a pet so this skill was useless to him.

Souta asked the institute to let Yuko enter the school ground and the institute agreed to it. Well, they wouldn't decline Souta's request because they knew that Souta's pet, the Red Fur Bear, was part of his strength. It would be a waste if he didn't train his taming ability.

"Ever since the special test, Souta's strength showed huge improvement. His growth is terrifying." Alice commented from the side. She saw a lot of geniuses in her homeland but she never once saw someone who was like Souta.

Lumilia glanced at Alice and she placed her hand in front of her chest. She felt her heart beating wildly. She knew that if she didn't train for herself. These people around her were going to left her.

'I need to do my best. I'll catch up to them.' Lumilia said to herself as she gave herself a bit of courage to chase after her friends.

...

Jeanne looked at Bargan and Souta before she said, "I'm going to rest for now."

Bargan nodded at her while Souta thanked her for accompanying him in his training.

Jeanne bowed her head before she walked to the side and picked up a bottle of water. She opened the cap and drunk that water inside the bottle.

She looked at Souta with an admiring gaze. She was sure that Souta was going to be a powerhouse in the future. She wasn't wrong at all, Souta was a man of focus who only looked at the goal in front of him.

She admired those traits of him. He even fought Gregory, a noble head, just to save his classmates.

"Next year, I'm sure of it that he would be able to dominate the whole institute," Jeanne muttered with an excited expression on her face. She was sure of it as she knew the power of the top ranker of the third-year students.

She was Jeanne Livenest, the top 23 ranker of the third-year students. The daughter of the tribe leader of the Paraponera race in the Hebrei Kingdom.

She looked at Souta's friends and asked, "I'm in a good mood today, do you want me to train you?"

"Sure." Bryan agreed to her without hesitation.

Lumilia and Alice looked at each other before they nodded.

...

Two weeks had passed since the cultural festival of the Ladro Institute. Souta managed to dominate the first-year ranker in these two weeks. He was now officially the top 1 ranker of the first-year students of the Ladro Institute.

He earned a lot of points from becoming the top 1 ranker. He used his points to Bargan and he used his remaining points to buy some skills suitable for his fighting style.

Actually, he could manually learn the skill in his skill tree if he had the spellbook of it. The only problem was that even if he learned this skill he wouldn't be able to lit up the skill in his skill tree. He still needed to used his skill points to lit it up and upgrade it so that he could promote his class rank.

...

Souta woke up early in the morning. It's weekends so he didn't have any classes.

"I'll visit Jimmy to check if everything is ready," Souta muttered as he pushed himself out of the bed. He went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

After that, he went downstairs and prepared himself a cup of coffee.

"The outdoor training is going to start next week."

Next week, the whole first-year will train around the vicinity of the Hebrei Kingdom. They will experience various things and encounter a lot of things in this training. They would also learn a lot of things.

The institute hoped that the first-year students could handle themselves in this training.

"Outdoor training. The adventurers are like that. The institute wanted the students to have a real battle experience, not just a mock battle. They wanted to know how the students would fare against this."

Souta said in a low voice before he took a sip of his coffee.

'A lot of students will experience hardship in this outdoor training. People who didn't experience life and death battle will have a hard time adjusting. They aren't used to living in the wild so you know what will happen in this outdoor training.' Saya's voice sounded in his mind.

"Yeah, I don't think that our class will have a problem with it," Souta said and he stood up. He went to Yuko's house and prepared her breakfast.

'Yeah, a goblin like you originally lived in the wild so you wouldn't have a problem with it. Also, after what you experience in the Desolate Woods and Gripin City it's hard to think that you will experience hardship in this outdoor training.'

"Okay, let's go to Lanny corporation," Souta said before he bid farewell to Yuko.

...

Souta arrived in the Lanny corporation and he asked the receptionist about Jimmy.

"Please wait for a moment, Sir." The receptionist said to him in a polite tone.

"Okay." Souta nodded at her and he just stood on his position waiting for Jimmy. Its been two weeks and he haven't heard anything from Jimmy. It seems that finding the monster potion was hard.

After a while, the receptionist told him to follow her.

Souta followed her and she brought him in front of Jimmy's office.

"Sir, I've brought him here." The receptionist said in a polite tone through the door.

"Good job, you can come in Souta." Jimmy's voice sounded behind the door.

Souta looked at the receptionist and thanked her before he went inside Jimmy's office.
