Chapter 701 The Shadow fighter (Part 2)
A lot of the top fighters from other schools, the ones that essentially made the rules in their school, had nicknames for themselves. Some were based on their personality, their looks or their strength.
As for Killer, he had decided his name due to his skillful use of weapons, he decided to spread his own nickname ‘Killer’. It made sense, if one was using deadly weapons that could kill, then he wanted a name that would strike fear in those he faced, because when he pulled out his weapon, they would believe that there was a chance his name meant that he was a real killer.
One wouldn't put it past a student in a tier-4, there were plenty that had done so before, but for Austin, he could see through this. He could see through his fancy tricks with a blade.
If one really had been in a life or death battle, they wouldn’t bother showing off, spinning the weapon, and holding it so loosely in his hand.
“I understand.” Austin said, walking over. His hands weren’t even raised to protect himself. “I was just like you guys, at the moment the schools mean everything to you, but trust me, the fake gangs you guys are playing are nothing like the real thing.”
Images appeared in Austin’s head of when he himself had nearly experienced death due to Midwak, and at the same time, there were images of those he had to fight against, those he had to kill, due to the situation. The gang world, it was either kill or be killed, but the situation he was in right now. This wasn't one of them.
Throwing out his hand, Austin grabbed onto the edge of the knife, it dug into his skin, but he had held on so tight that even with Killer pulling on the handle was unable to pull it out.
“Who are you… what are you!” Killer shouted in fear.
Vlad had never seen anything like it, he had seen people get beaten up by those stronger than them. Heck, Vlad experienced it daily from many in his school, but the fear in Killer’s eyes, compared to the confidence Austin had, it was indescribable.
Slowly, Vlad was creating a new idol in his mind, one other than the shadow fighter.
“Brace yourself.” Austin said, as he pulled back his fist and punched it directly into Killer’s mouth. His front two teeth were sent flying onto the ground along with the back of his head.
“If you threaten to kill someone, then you at least deserve a proper punch.” Austin commented.
Blown away by everything that had happened, Vlad had stumbled and fell on his backside in amazement. Those that were on the ground were too hurt to get up any time soon. Austin, seeing Vlad on the floor, thought he must have been dropped or hurt by Killer so he started to walk over to give his hand.
He reached out, when suddenly the sound of footsteps could be heard, running from the side.
“Get away from him!” A voice shouted.
Both Vlad and Austin turned their heads, and Vlad's mouth was wide open, both hands raised towards his mouth. He wanted to say something but the words wouldn't come out.
The person was quick on their feet and had already jumped up in the air with a kick. Austin covered his head with one arm. The kick landed and it was quite a solid blow, but not enough to move his big body.
When the person landed back down, they seemed to be surprised by the fact that Austin hadn’t even budged an inch.
“A new one in town, you must be the one people are calling Big Mask!” The person shouted. “Why… Why must you guys always come in, and try to prove who’s the best?”
Now that Austin wasn’t blocking an attack, he could get a better look at the person who had just attacked him out of the blue.
They were dressed in all black clothing, their frame was relatively small, similar to that of Vlad’s and on their head, they wore a balaclava, only showing their eyes.
“It's… it's the shadow fighter!” Vlad pumped his fists, he almost fainted from the excitement, and he started to hyperventilate. Never in his life did he think he would see the person up so close, and of all things they had come to rescue him.
It was a misunderstanding, but Vlad was too excited to say anything.
‘So this person is the shadow fighter, huh?’ Austin thought. ‘Well, it's no wonder he thought the shadow fighter couldn't be me, but how can someone so small be considered the strongest?’
The shadow fighter was quick to act, as they started to run forward, they quickly raised their leg aiming for Austin’s ’s side, it had hit his rib, but he didn’t try to block the attack. Instead he threw one out on his own at the same time.
However, the shadow fighter was able to slip in on the inside, and quickly turned to the side, throwing out another kick, right to his other rib. They quickly moved behind Austin and kicked him on the back of his leg, right where his knee was and he jolted a bit.
He wasn’t going to fall to such a weak attack, and as he braced himself to stand up, he felt a kick land right to the side of his head. It stung a bit, but once again,. He still hadn't moved.
‘What is this person, he's like a big rock, no matter how many times I hit him, it looks like nothing is hurting him.’ The shadow fighter thought.
Meanwhile Austin was also incredibly impressed.
‘I doubt this person is an altered, but they're so fast, nimble and flexible, they have a good sense of timing as well. This is what I was looking for, this is the type of challenge I needed!’ Austin thought.
