Ryu dashed to Kurogami once more in a zig-zag manner. Is movement was fast for most C-class and D-class talent individuals found it difficult to keep up with their eyes.
After getting close to Kurogami, Ryu threw a heavy left punch downward aimed at Kurogami's face, simultaneously attacking and defending against any counterattack.
Kurogami dodged the attack with ease in a very odd manner. Kurogami moved slightly to the right.
"That's odd," Ryu thought. With the rich battle experience he had, what Kurogami did tho wasn't a surprise but was still odd, it's common for humans when they are being attacked by the right, they dodge it by either moving backwards or right, not moving where the danger his.
Kurogami's right leg stomped the ground, the bam sound was loud, tho Ryu didn't see, he could tell Kurogami was preparing for an attack in that awkward stance he was in.
In that position, the online calculated attack that should be expected was Kurogami's left hand; his right hand was not an option because he could, for Kurogami, ryu was also prepared for a counterattack attack which is why his right hand was guiding his face.
"bam"
Kurogami's right fist connected with Ryu's chin. He felt dizzy; he hadn't expected that awkward attack from the right. He didn't calculate that it would bypass his right-hand defense through the shallow open.
Ryu was almost knocked out with just one fist, about to fall. Ryu snapped back, his right leg stomped the ground to prevent him from falling, and he quickly went to a defensive stance. His two hands opened up slightly, and he turned his head to face Kurogami, who delivered an attack from the right. But Hi didn't see Kurogami.
"Huh," Ryu felt a hand grab his right leg. He bent down, seeing Kurogami, and grabbed his right leg. "How did he get there?" Ryu didn't see Kurogami at all; it was like he teleported.
"swoosh"
Ryu was in the air, falling horizontally, the battle class white light shone in his eyes, which made everything a bit blurry.
Kurogami had already made a 360 spin and swung his left hand back fist horizontally to Ryu's fist.
When Ryu finally opened his eyes, all he could see was a fist swinging towards his face in a reverse motion, too quick for him to even raise a defense. Just as the fist was about to make contact, it halted a fraction of an inch away. A powerful gust of wind swept across Ryu's face, and then he felt his body hit the ground. He knew that if the blow had landed, it would have left his face in ruins.
Ryu froze that instant. He couldn't move, but he soon snapped back into reality when Kurogami tapped his right shoulder.
"That makes it 1:1," Kurogami said with a smile. Then turned around and walked away.
The whole class was dumbfounded; they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Did Ryu just lose? This is a joke, right?" a student said, his face clearly showing how surprised he is.
"The battle ended in less than thirty seconds," a student said
"Did an A-class talent just lose to a D-class talent?" another said.
Wow, I truly believe in you, Kurogami," a D-class talent student said. He was excited, seeing his fellow D-class beating an A-class talent; if Kurogami can do it, he can too.
Low-talented individuals have historically viewed those with high talent as superior, regarding themselves as inferior. Whenever they crossed paths, the low-talented would instinctively lower their gaze, a behavior that reflects broader societal norms. Just as the wealthy carry themselves with pride, the poor often bow their heads, despite being made of the same flesh and blood. This dynamic persists in human society, highlighting the deep-rooted perceptions of worth based on talent and status.
Instructor Arin was surprised to see this, "So he was strong after all." What even made her more amazed his that Kurogami seems to have barely put any effort, she was happy that in her class they was a ginus, but at the same time she felt, annoyed, it seems the reason kurogami as always been like this in her class is because he thinks she as nth to teach him. the thought of this made her oil in rage.
The bald instructor standing around the entrance smiled and left the class, "Such rich knowledge, taking advantage of the weakness of the eyes."
The bald instructor thought as he walked down the hallway. "Human eyesight, while sharp and adaptive, has its limits. The human eye is designed to focus best on what lies directly ahead. This comes with a weakness. The edges of our vision are blurred and shallow, that's why he was able the deliver that first attack, and when Ryu moved to face him, Kurogami moved downwards, avoiding Ryu's gaze."
"The level of experience needed to accomplish that is high. This batch his really interesting."
The bald instructor thought as he kept on working further away from the class.
The gossip the the class was loud, the whole class just kept on talking about it. Ryu was immediately still surprised. Shin and Kiaia watched Ryu.
"Not good, Ryu is acting up again. They were about to move before a large volume of Khaos energy burst out of Ryu's body.
It pushed most of the students backwards, making the air heavy and hard to breathe.
Instructor Arin was not affected, but also surprised by the amount of Khaos energy Ryu had. She was about to intervene when a thought held her back. She wanted to see what would happen, but of course, if thing goes out of hand, she would step up.
"This cannot be real, this can not be real, no, I can't just lose like this," Ryu thought, expression like a stoic madman.
A huge amount of wild killing intent went towards Kurogami like an untamed lion. As Ryu was about to take a step, the room became dark red, covered with blood.
"huh"
Kurogami, who was moving away before, turned his gaze slightly backward, staring at Ryu. Kurogami's sclera turned black, his green eyes darkened, and Ryu felt three horizontal slashes cutting his body into three equal pieces. As his cut body stared at Kurogami's demonic-like eyes, he felt death itself.
He felt another chill coming from the other side of the room, but before he knew it, his head was cut apart with a sharp blade. His head didn't fall, but was grabbed and turned. Daichi's appearance was like a dark reaper; only his two circular eyes were white. Daichi's two legs were on the ryu should sitting like a chair up in the air.
Ryu's untameable aura was now filled with absolute fear. He didn't dare to move. The killing intent from both Kurogami and Daichi disappeared, and the room returned to normal, but Ryu still stood, not daring to move
