“No wonder your wings have hardened, kid looks like you have contracted a Silver Grimoire, aren’t you a lucky one.
Did you think just because you are a card apprentice now you could back down from compensating? Well, you thought wrong so what if you are a silver card apprentice we have three bronze card apprentices.
Don’t make it hard on yourself just pay your dues and we will leave like this never happened.”
The goon seemed to be chatty now that he had three card apprentices to rely on.
Looking at the three-card apprentices in front of me I did feel a little intimidated after all three on one for my first fight was a lot.
And it seems like the other side did not mind bullying me with their numbers. I was not afraid but my mind whispered ‘you can not withstand the storm’ whereas my heart whispered ‘you are the storm’
Things have come to the point where I had to fight now, it did not matter who started it but now I can not back down an inch.
I did not know how I am going to win but I did know that I am not going to lose. I was not afraid of being outnumbered, only I thought three were not enough to completely showcase the power of the Abyssal Giant Bear.
As they were busy making threats I summoned my silver grimoire, activated the sprint skill of gale rabbit leather boots. With the boost in my agility, I dashed into the three-card apprentices.
Within a second I was in front of the nearest card apprentice, he was still in shock as my fist covered in the aura shaped like a bear’s paw slammed into him but it was blocked by a bronze shield.
Regardless the shield was not strong enough and shattered like glass, under the residual force from the punch the card apprentice flew back slamming into the wall spurting out blood before losing consciousness.
But I did not stop there as I could feel a hot projectile heading my way so I jumped to the right nearing the second card apprentice avoiding the basketball-sized fireball.
But to my surprise, the card seemed to have already prepared for my arrival as I was still in the air, he looked at me with a sneer and fired another fireball at me.
It was point black and I couldn’t dodge it as I was in the air so I activated the second ability of gale rabbit leather boots double jump. Stepping on the air I jumped back evading the fireball.
Landing on the ground I saw the two-card apprentices surround me from both sides.
Thinking that they have cornered me the goons felt like they gained an upper hand became chatty.
“Not bad, kid for a newbie, you are quick on your feet and brave enough to initiate a fight.”
“Right! I thought you would give up being outnumbered but you didn’t! you got balls kid.”
They were not wrong to be cocky as I was almost out of all my cards, but I only had two cards to began with so they had nothing to be proud of.
“So kid did you give up yet or you ready for round two?”
I didn’t bother to answer the goon and let out an angry roar activating the abyssal roar skill.
Even though the goons acted all arrogant and mighty they were still novice card apprentices at the card student level.
So the roar worked effectively stunning the two goons and buying me 2 to 3 seconds. Which was enough for me to take out one of them.
I dashed to the goon in front of me and barraged him with continuous bear fists, each fist contained the complete strength of an abyssal giant bear. I could hear sounds of bones cracking as I ruthlessly punched the goon.
Done with him I rushed towards the third one he seemed to be out of stun and fired a fireball at me but this time I did not dodge the fireball I took it head-on.
Fireball is an F rank skill card it does pack huge damage but compared to the defence of an E rank boss level Abyssal Giant Bear this damage was nothing.
I chose to dodge earlier because there were two enemies and didn’t want to take any chances. But now my worries were redundant and wanted to check the defence of the abyssal giant bear.
Other than feeling a small burn as the fireball slammed into me I felt nothing.
Seeing this the goon was scared shitless and backed a few steps before tripping himself and falling on his behind while I ended his misery with a punch to his chin rendering him unconscious with a broken jaw.
I won but I was not satisfied with the victory as these goons were just novice card students with starter cards. Other than the fireball and the bronze shield skill cards I did not see them use other cards.
Even though they had outnumbered me I seemed to have overpowered them in the quality of cards. They were not worthy opponents for my E rank abyssal giant bear spirit guard card.
I looked around to be sure, everyone was unconscious or disabled even the tall and short goon duo seemed to be unconscious thanks to the abyssal roar, being mortals they fainted under the influence of the abyssal roar.
I walked to the one who was disabled, he seemed to have peed under the pain of breaking bones while his face was covered in tears and snot. I neared him, he crawled back in fright. I had broken an arm and leg of his, unable to walk or support himself he could only crawl.
“Stop it or else I will have to break another arm of yours.” Hearing me the goon stopped crawling and begged me to let him go with tears and snot dripping from his face.
I was disgusted to see his snot and tear covered face but I still squatted in front of him and said, “don’t be afraid I will not hurt you as long you answer truthfully, to my questions. Nod if you understand what I am saying.”
The goon nodded vigorously, looking at him being sincere I asked, ” now tell me who sent you? Why did they send you? What is your purpose? So basically tell me everything you know, got it.”
The goon hesitated so I twisted his broken leg, crying in pain the goon let go the lasts of his resistance and was about to spill out everything but,
‘BWEEP Bip Bip BWEEP’
“This is Sky blossom PD, sir please step away from the injured civilian.”
Hearing the cop, I frown ‘who the fuck called the cops?’ I had decided to call the cops once I had enough evidence to build a case against Ben Li and Zhang Mercenary.
I stepped away from the goon but got Irritated seeing the revealed expression on his face.
Soon the two cops in blue uniforms after requesting an ambulance and back up came to check on the injured.
“Sir, who did this to you?” Asked a cop to the disabled goon.
The goon didn’t answer the cop and dodged his eyes. According to the teachings in Zhang Mercenary in situations like this, he had to keep quiet and ask for the company lawyer.
Seeing the goon keeping quiet I answered the cop, “I did it.”
“What?!”
The cops were dumbfounded and one of them asked the goon for confirmation, to which the goon reluctantly agreed.
Getting confirmation from the goon the cops handcuffed me reading my rights, ironically enough neither of them heard my explanation.
I had to go in quietly not wanting to be charged with ‘resisting arrest.’

Class teacher Wang has been a bronze card apprentice for 2 decades and already stepped in to ‘Card Scholar’ he was not sure if he could guarantee to knock out three novices ‘Card Students’ under three minutes.
Wang was shocked to see Wyatt wipe the floor with the three goons, to his amusement he noticed that each of the goons was equipped with two F rank skill cards.
One should know fireball alone costs 14,999$ and the bronze shield costs 16,799$.
Which mercenary group is rich and prodigal enough to equip each of its novices with nearly 32,000$ worth of cards. Had he known this back in the days he would have been a mercenary rather than a teacher.
In some way, Wang envied the goons he remembers working 2 years as a trainee teacher to save up for his first skill card.
Wang envied Wyatt even more for having good parents who not only left him silver grimoires but also good combat cards for use.
