"How!?" The man was shocked, he didn't expect that Sean would force him to transform.
Sean doesn't answer and wails on him.
CQC State!
Elbows, spearhands, Claw strikes, knees, kicks, backhand punch....
Strikes flies at rapid speed, not leaving his opponent any time to react.
The man's partner dashes towards Sean, transforming too, one looks like a lionman and the other was a leopardman.
Sean dodges the strike from the partner, he directs the attack to the man.
The Lionman was hit by the claws of his partner and can't help but cry.
Sean won't give them any chance to escalate.
Berserk!
Jade Skin activate!
Titan Body activate!
Killing Intent!
Under the CQC domain, the two were helpless as each attack they throw would be countered or redirected to one another.
ROAR! The Lionman roars but his cry didn't stop Sean, his soul is much stronger than normal.
BAM! An elbow to the temple, he kicks the kneecaps and spins.
Blood flies as a cut appears on the Lionman's face.
The Leopardman leaps at Sean but he ducks and fires a palm strike on the solar plexus.
The two groans in pain but Sean doesn't give them any mercy.
Grabbing the head of Lionman, he smashes it to his partner before raising his leg high before bringing it downward with a force greater than a bronze ranker could release.
Seeing the two unmoving, he was about to grab them when his instinct kicks in.
He kicks the ground to create some distance but some of the fabric of his cloak wae still sliced.
"I didn't expect that someone from the same rank would push the two of us this far." The Lionman growls, his body growing bigger.
His partner was also the same, the two of them seems to entered the same state as his berserk.
He frowns, he wants to bring the two intact but with their current strength, that would be difficult.
He sighs, it seems that he can only break their bones to stop them from resisting.
"Leonpard Combo!" The two attacks, their claws slashing at front, it feels like he enters a wave of slash.
His body is already hardened with Jade Skin, he doesn't care about being hit but still, he doesn't want to receive these attacks as it might destroy his outfit.
Jabs!
His fist starts flying at rapid speed, actually matching the combo of the two.
Not only that, he wasn't trying to hit them, only trying to preserver his clothes so his jabs came from his shoulder and rotating shoulder plates.
With his stance wide and his footing stable, he creates an image that he looks like a fortress, an impenetrable one.
Impenetrable Fortress!
Sean watches as the claws of the two starts to break, realizing that they're no longer as sharp as before, he charges towards them.
A technique inspired by Cherry.
Charging Thrust!
He pierces through the heart of the Lionman, his fingers filled with blood.
The Lionman grabs his hand before he can pull it.
With mouth full of blood, he roars. "Do it!"
The Leopardman opens his mouth wide and tries to bite him.
"Admirable!" Sean kicks the jaw of the Leopardman and then stabs him at his neck.
Both died from spearhand.
"Even though I'm disgusted by the organization you two belong in, I respect you as a fighter." He states.
The two died with blood flowing from their wounds, not caring about the people watching, he carries the two on his shoulder and puts a badge on his chest.
Seeing the badge, the expression of everyone changes, this is the specific badge for people that hunts criminal and most if not all the people operating in the black market are criminals.
Suddenly, multiple people arrives wearing the outfit belonging to the organization under the black market owner.
Sean wasn't afraid at them and looks at the eight people with a calm gaze.
The expression of the people changes when they saw his badge.
They look at each other not knowing what to do, if they dare to capture Sean and it would be found out by the city lord, it won't be long before their black market to be swallowed by the Federation.
"Great sir, can you please explain why you're making commotion inside this place?" They decided to use the soft approach.
Sean now looks like some sort of buff large guy, his presence is imposing and together with killing intent, he looks like a powerful silver ranker.
Only those that he fought with would notice the quality of his vital force and would realise that he's just a bronze ranker.
"I apologized for causing so much commotion, it's not my intention but you should know that the city lord has issued an order to take down any individual belonging to any illegal power and members of Genetic Upgrade are prime targets of that order."
The two sides looks at each other, not backing down, suddenly, a powerful pressure descends from the sky.
Sean's expression changes, he feels a familiar pressure.
Gold rank.
There's only one person that can blatantly showcase his might as a gold rank in this place.
The owner of the black market, strength surpassing many of his peers.
Nightmare.
Sean turns his head and sees a person descending on his location.
Clenching his fist, he didn't expect to meet this bigshot but he wasn't going to back down.
His killing intent growing, so was his presence, no one might feels it because of Nightmare's overbearing presence but that can't be said to one person.
"Oh? This is the first time I encountered a bronze ranker that actually dares to bare his fangs at me." Nightmare chuckles but his words shocked everyone.
They instantly turn to Sean and their expressions are strange, they can't believe that he's still trying to resist.
"I heard your reasoning and let me tell you this, the black market agrees with the city lord and I'm grateful that you clean these scourge out of this place." Nightmare says smilingly.
Sean nods his head and his battle will recedes, without hesitation, he picks the two up and left.
Nightmare also left as he glances at his workers, the latter nods their heads and left.
Once he return to his place, Nightmare changes into a new outfit and went to a certain location.
"You don't need to knock, come in, we've heard what happened." Voices comes inside the large building.
"What's that all about!? I thought I told you to reign in your group!" Nightmare roars.
"We did but that person that captured our members actually managed to force them to transform without their permission." A person exuding the same pressure as Nightmare spoke.
Nightmare's expression changes. "You mean that the Federation has found a way to force us to transform against our will!?"
"We don't know yet, if it's the Federation, then, it won't be long for our higher-ups to be discovered." This was not good news for them.
"I don't think that it's the Federation." One of them speaks and his words startles them.
"If it's the Federation, our researchers would've been informed, no, I think that it's that person that has this ability."
If this is true, then, Sean became an important target for everyone of them.
"Capture him! We must know how he's able to force our transformation, if that doesn't work, eliminate him, he's too dangerous to roam freely!" All the gold rankers immediately made this decision.
Sean went to the Federation and gives the corpses to them, receiving the reward, everyone kept looking at him.
With two cute bunnies on his shoulders, with a mask that has bunny shape, eyes that burns the night and a body size that dwarfs most people, they create quite a great contrast.
"May I ask if the reward contains Transformation Grass?" He asks the clerk responsible for recording.
She nods her head while looking at the two bunnies, Fighting Bunnies are known to have a volatile evolution but this is the first time she heard about using this resource at them but she doesn't question him.
"Thank you for your service." She bows after their transaction, someone like Sean who actively hunts criminals is a warrior worthy of respect in their eyes.
He blends with everyone, storing the two bunnies inside Beast World.
He became a small child runs away to the direction of their home, only after being certain no one discovers him, he returns to his original size.
Jasmine is already there to assist him, creating an illusion that separates him from his other identity.
The night passed by and everyone doesn't know that there's undercurrent already moving inside the city.
What Sean had achieved shocked everyone involved and right now, all of them are scrambling to get him.
Waking up after a night of sleep and meditation, Sean went out, informing everyone that he's going to school to inform the principal about him training back home.
At school, Sean has became even more famous after Kommi became a martial artist, now, all of them thinks that being trained by him guarantees you to become a martial artist.
"So you're asking permission to train at your home? Why? Isn't this school training room much more efficient than training at your home?" The principal is confused, she knows Sean isn't stupid.
"Yes but the students doesn't really need to train in such high class room to develop their foundation, it's only good for a sparring, the equipments used doesn't really help at developing their foundation." Sean shares.
"If that's the case, then, I'll gladly send the resource to your home, you can do what you wish to it." The principal suddenly says something shocking.
"But there's a catch, my sister and three teachers must accompany you during their training at your home." She added.
Sean's eyes lights up. "Really!? Wouldn't this ruin the school's operation?"
"No, right now, the school is testing the activities we can implement, the number of civilians and martial artists in the school has increased too much, too quickly, we're still having trouble accommodating and managing everyone."
Sean chuckles, he can understand this, thinking that the principal would give so much preferential treatment to him and even sending the vice principal, making the security back home to be airtight, he decided to change his decision.
"How about as a thank you, I'll train a couple more students at school, those that perform better or at least done something for the school." He suggests.
The principal raises her eyebrow, she glares at him and says. "Are you trying to claim all the geniuses under this school was trained by you when you graduated?"
"Now, now, big sister, I think that Sean meant well, how about we accept you as an honorary teacher in this school?" The vice principal asks.
Sean thinks about it and agrees, after all, he owes this school a lot after their investment on him.
He accepts gifts but if he doesn't return any token of gratitude, he would feel somewhat guilty, this is just how he's been.
Unbeknownst to him, the two girls clenches their fists when he agreed.
A person that has a hundred percent rate in turning normal civilians into martial artists is a treasure for a school.
"Bones wouldn't have a hard time reaching the Vital Realm now that the school supplies us with resources, Emirose, well, her foundation is greater than Bones so turning her into a martial artist will be a lot easier."
The two girls listen, they were actually speechless inside, he talks as if he's certain he can turn the two into martial artists.
"For the rest, they must have enough strength to keep their position as participants for our competition." Sean mutters.
The principal immediately agrees to this, the others were recommended by the teachers of this school, they hadn't shown strength or trait that interests Sean or the principal.
"I'll be taking Emirose, Bones, Kommi, Jericho and Missel with me." The two sisters agrees with this decision.
"I'll let the the three martial artists rest for now but I'll be bringing them to the Outside under the supervision of the other teachers and the vice principal after I assess their condition."
