CHAPTER 42 SPIRIT WEAPON CLASS, 104
The next few minutes felt like eternity for the first years.
They had just witnessed their crazy teacher getting blasted through the academy walls.
The fight was over, they should be relaxed, relieved even.
But they felt more tense than before..
"Our teacher just smashed the walls...
"He's he dead..
"No way...
"What if we get in trouble..
"What if he comes back for another round..
They were petrified.
Roman let out small groan and drop to one knee.
He could feel a throbbing pain all over his right arm.
The backlash of the skill finally descended like a plague..
"Roman.."
Sylver held him up with worry in her eyes.
"Are you okay?"
Roman smiled.
"I'm alright, such skill comes with a price you know. I'll heal in a short while "
"Relax "
Lunar said as he walked towards them.
His wolf had already disappeared, though not after giving him a deadly glare.
"Roman's a though. He was still holding back, trust me"
Roman chuckled.
He turned towards Anya who sat beside them with eyes on the ground and breathing heavily.
"You did good"
Roman said.
Anya slowly raised her head and looked at him.
"Your abilities, they were amazing. You're more awesome than you think"
Roman smiled.
Anya stared at him for a while, her gaze slowly turned soft... slightly.
"He complemented me.
She thought
"I've... never been... complemented before.."
Her thoughts were slow.
A subtle feeling ran through her chest.
Strange..
"All that lightning and your hair doesn't look like a bomb "
She finally said.
Roman chuckled and looked up at Lunar.
"I learned from the best"
Lunar smiled.
"Yep. I thought him to be perfect"
Lunar folded his arms.
"You should see him back then, he looked like a jungle boy"
"Hey! Try surviving in the forest for a week"
They both burst into laughter.
Fury rushed towards them and jumped on Roman's head with a squeal.
"Hey buddy "
The squirrel had been on the platform watching the whole ordeal.
Anya stared at them for a while.
"We're all still tense from the fight, and they're laughing like it didn't even happened. How do they do that?
She wondered.
Without realizing it, a subtle smile was slowly finding its way to her face.
But before it could near...
A crazy laugher burst from the other side of the hall.
Hahaha...
The whole class suddenly jerked to their feet.
The tension returned.
Except for Roman and Lunar who were still relaxed.
Fury didn't let out a warning squeal, so they know that the fight was really over.
Coming through the broken wall, Sir Raymond dust his dark robe with a wide smile plastered on his face.
His blonde spikey hair were filled with dust and debris.
His long beards were covered in bright soot and unkept.
But apart from that, he looked perfectly fine, like he never fought in the first place.
Sir Raymond dust his body and looked at the first year students with glowing eyes.
"You kids are fun!"
He laughed again.
The students stared at him with uneasiness.
Sir Raymond walked forward.
He walked past them and climbed the high platform.
"Relax kids. The fight is over, for now"
He smirked, then place both hands behind his back.
"I'm Sir Raymond, your Spirit weapon teacher"
He nodded.
"The battle earlier was to test your capability. Though I admit I want a little overboard, I got caught up in the thrill"
He burst into another laugh.
The students lookes at him, totally flabbergasted.
"A little!!"
One of them couldn't help but screamed.
He was the unlucky who received the full blow of sir Raymond's kick at the very beginning of the fight.
Roman couldn't help but chuckle.
Sir Raymond looked at him.
"I like you kid, we should spar sometimes. I'll show you a thing or two"
Roman nodded.
Sir Raymond looked at Lan.
"You remind me a lot of sir Brock, big and muscle headed. But, you have a natural talent for leadership "
Lan eyes widened.
"Really!"
He beamed.
"Yes! You heard that Billy, I'm a born leader !
So you better follow my leadership "
Billy shot him a dark glare.
"Brat."
Sir Raymond looked at Billy.
"You fight without Intent"
Billy looked at him.
"You have a lot of anger in you, good, but it's useless without an Intent to back it up. But don't worry, I'll teach you all about Spirit Intent soon"
He faced Anya.
"You carved your path and grew your strength alone, that's good. But if you truly want to continue alone, you'll need power, much more power than me"
Anya nodded.
He faced Slyver.
"You already have a small knowledge of Intent. Your will is as strong as your shield "
Sylver nodded.
He turned to face Lunar.
"You remind me of someone. Tell me, any relation to Sir Derrick?"
"You sound like you know my father personally"
Lunar replied.
"Father?"
Sir Raymond's eyes widened.
"Well I'll be damned. The lone Wolf finally showed part of his face "
Sir Raymond laughed before turning to Bryon.
"Cool headed. Your ice attribute is strong. I suggest training in icy cold regions will strengthen you further. Though you can't leave the academy yet."
Bryon blowed a little
"Thank you sir"
He turned to Roman.
"What's your name boy?"
"It's Roman "
Roman replied.
"Roman, you have an abnormal strength, but I don't sense a spirit beast in you. Are you the Irregular I was told about"
"Wow I guess I'm becoming then"
Roman chuckled.
"Interesting. And how did you get a powerful lightning attribute. Though I reduced my strength to the Beast Ascension stage, you still caught me by surprised"
"Thanks, but that's something I can't share"
Roman smiled.
"Hmmm.... you're something else "
Sir Raymond went ahead to point out a flaw or correct somethings to each student.
It was surprising that he had captured every student during the fight.
After a while, Sir Raymond sat down on the platform.
"Let's progress with our lessons "
