182 Fighter Anteriority - Part 10

Heero walked back and forth at his Martial House's Hall. His face was fuming red in anger, but no angry words came out of his mouth.

Kang Seo-Yeon, Bai Xin Yue, Musashi Hirata, Sun Zhou Yi, and Butcher Wang were standing behind Heero in a line.

Meanwhile, Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun stood with their head lowered down.

Kang Dong-Woo had half of his head covered in white gauze and a crutch in his left hand. Xu Lingxun's condition was no better. His face was black and blue while white gauze wrapped his left hand.

Both were just coming back from the hospital after the Junior Event final. Yes, the injuries they suffered were from the final fight. Thanks to these two boys, the Junior Event ended splendidly.

The fight lasted almost an hour. Thanks to them, the stage where they fought was also destroyed. Even so, there was one guy who was angered because of the final fight, that person was Heero.

The spectators or even the whole city might be praising their performance. However, Heero did not feel happy in the slightest for his two disciples' achievement.

It was because the two boys went serious in the final fight. They were going all out, almost killing at each other.

Yes, they fought as if their lives were at stake. It was the thing that made Heero angry. He did not even use his concoction to heal the boys.

"Do you know why I call you two here?" Heero's cold voice rang in the empty hall.

Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun did not give any answer. They just looked down, not daring to meet Heero's eyes.

Before, they never saw Heero got angry. What they knew about their Master was kind, caring, and gentle.

However, they remembered how scary their master was when he got angry. Yesterday, Master visited them in the hospital but left as soon as he arrived after giving them his words, "Meet me at Martial Hall tomorrow morning!"

Both still remembered how scary Heero's expression.

"Kang Dong-Woo!" Heero called his disciple's full name which was rare, "When you came to me and asked me to be your Master, what did you say to me at that time?"

Still with his head hung low, the past scene flashed in his mind.

"I said I want to be a hero that surpassed my grandfather and protected my sister…" Kang Dong-Woo answered in a small voice.

Kang Seo-Yeon heard what her brother said clearly and she gasped in surprise. She was touched by her brother's goal. However, she did not interfere with this as she also felt her brother went overboard in yesterday's fight.

"Then what happened yesterday? First, you almost killed Wu Weimin! Then in the final fight, you also went killing each other against Xu Lingxun! Have you forgotten your goal? Or your goal has changed now?" Hero questioned Kang Dong-Woo in a harsh tone.

"No! My goal is still the same. I want to surpass my grandfather and protect my sister! But…" Kang Dong-Woo's words trailed off.

"But what!?"

"I-I d-did not intend to kill Lingxun, I went all out as a show of respect to him…" With the same small voice, Kang Dong-Woo continued.

"I see… I see…" Heero's voice was still cold, making Dong-Woo shrunk back.

"So, in the end, you forgot what I said before the competition… So, you use what all I taught to show respect to your fellow disciple by almost killing him? Hmm… What a unique way to show respect…" Heero's words were full of sarcasm and the boy knew that.

"Then what about you, Lingxun? Did you also forget my words??"

Xu Lingxun did not dare to answer but only shook his head furiously.

"What about your goal? Did you also forget your goal?"

Xu Lingxun shook his head again. There was no way he would forget his main goal.

"Then, do you know what you did yesterday extremely stupid? What if they recognize you?"

Xu Lingxun stumped and his eyes went wide. Yes, he managed to escape from his family's enemy pursuit and survived in the outer region for five years.

Yesterday was a big event and many people watched the event whether watching from the arena or the live broadcast. There was a chance he was being recognized.

No one in the room except for Musashi Hirata understood what Heero and Xu Lingxun talked about.

Heero massaged his forehead and continued, "This will be the last, okay? I can bestow power, but I also can take it back from you! As for the punishment, read that a hund… No, a thousand times! Repeat those words a thousand times!"

He pointed at the board he placed at the wall, "Our Way; Not In Order To Change The World, But In Order Not To Let The World Change Us!"

"After you repeat those a thousand times, you can go back to rest!" After saying that, Heero intended to head back, but Sun Zhou Yi called out.

"Master! What about us? Should we use our power in moderation too during the Fighter Anteriority?"

Heero halted his steps and turned toward the three adults and rolled his eyes, "You are an adult, you can do what you want!"

After that, he left the hall.

"He is pretty harsh!" Kang Seo-Yeon voiced her thoughts when Heero's figure disappeared. She immediately approached her scared brother to see his condition.

The injury her brother suffered was not light at all. She was a little worried.

"I am fine! Master is not wrong, it was us who did not listen to him and he was right. My power is supposed to be used to fight the monsters out there and protect my two sisters from my stupid father!" Kang Dong-Woo shook his head and walked closer to the board.

In fact, the punishment could not be called punishment. It was merely repeating the same sentence for a thousand times. Heero also did not hit them.

Xu Lingxun followed and both boys began their punishment. The others left the hall, none of them watched the two boys as they believed they would not dare to cheat for their punishment.

"Hah… Fortunately, Master does not say anything about us! If he tells us to fight in moderation, I can't cut the big guy's hand later!" Musashi Hirata muttered in a low voice as he came out of the hall.

Even he said that in a low voice, the other fours could hear it. Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon were clueless who was the big guy he talked about. But Sun Zhou Yi and Butcher Wang knew this big guy.

He was the guy who despised their Master a week ago, Cale.

"You can't cut his hand. He is quite famous in Sun City, it will worsen the relationship between Star City and Sun City if you cut his hand! What about breaking a few of his ribs and hand, it will do!" Sun Zhou Yi replied with a little concern.

"You guys are quite scary, do you really need to go that far?" Butcher Wang shook his head as he tried to make some distance from the two.

The two girls were clueless about what the three talked about.

Musashi Hirata ignored Butcher Wang's remark and spoke, "Today you are going to fight in Fighter Anteriority! Don't hold back and show what you got there! You have to promote our academy!"

"I know! I know!" Butcher Wang waved his hand in return. Even Hirata did not remind him, he was going to show his prowess to the masses. He wanted to show off to his daughter that not only Heero could fight but him.

*** ***

Just like that, the Fighter Anteriority continued.

Free Fighter was an event where the participants were not a hero or even ranked. Most of the participants were a member of the martial house or a wild hunter with no affiliation.

The Free Fighter Event lasted for three days.

Butcher Wang who participated in the Free Fighter event triumphed his way to the final and beat all his opponents overwhelmingly.

Even in the final, he showed no mercy to his opponent. He also did not forget to promote the Heero Academy.

Heero also brought his family over to watch. His main purpose was still the same, waiting for the Shadow Fang to make their move.

However, he could not find a sign of Shadow Fang even after the Free Fighter Event was over.

After the Free Fighter, the Fighter Anteriority continued with the Silver Class event. Just like its name, the Silver Class event was where the highest class participant was Silver Class Hero and Silver Class Ranker.

This event lasted for a week because this event was an event with the most participants.

The Shadow Fang also did not appear at this event. And so, the last event or the main event of the Fighter Anteriority started.

The main event or the most awaited event. An event where Emperor Class Hero and Legendary Class Ranker would clash.
