Cat Mania

44. Shaking Their Ideals

(A/N: Just like before (Cale vs. Gangseok fight), this is gonna be an ass fight. 😞 No, I'm not going to go off the reference of Duke and Jiwoo's like 3 (about to be 4) fights where Duke lost all of them💀)

'I want to die.' Cale regretted his choice, so badly. He was now standing in the ring.

'I thought I warned you, pretty boy. All you have is your looks, but even with that, I won't let you easily go!' Duke glared daggers at Cale. "I challenge you to a spar."

"!!"

'What the fuck, leave me alone!' Cale frowned. "Don't wanna."

The spectators' eyes widened even larger, don't know how, from the amount of surprises today.

'How dare you unworthy thing reject my order?!' Duke's madness seemed to soar through the sky. "You don't have a choice."

'But I do.'

'You don't think I saw that? You blocked my attack to protect this kid.' Duke's imaginary grin grew wider. "If you win, I won't proceed with the spar against this guy."

And if it couldn't happen, the bystanders' eyes grew even wider from shock.

'He's willing to let Jiwoo go?!'

'Duke Grayne's backing down on a spar?!'

'...'

'But that's only if Cale wins...'

Their excitement was quickly dismissed.

'I'm doing this for you, you brat.' Cale sighed deeply, letting his stress levels lower. "Fine."

'I can't believe we're proceeding with the spar right away! Couldn't you give me a few days at least?!' Cale sweated nervously.

"Let's start the match." Inhyuk announced.

Seems like Cale wasn't the only one afraid and nervous.

Beep

Beep

Duke's gaze didn't leave Cale, not even for a moment.

Beep!

Whoosh!

Cale blinked, and Duke had already closed the distance.

'Shit! He works with high-speeds like Jiwoo?!' Cale was caught off guard, Duke wasn't using this ability in his fight with Subin.

'Heh.' Duke smirked. 'You can't even react to my speed!' He clenched his fist, aiming for a punch.

Bang!

Cale's shield blocked it.

Duke kept on hitting his shield continuously with his fists.

"That shield looks sturdy..."

"I wonder how long it'll hold up against Duke's attacks..."

Everyone was anxious about their spar.

'That shield... I didn't see it wrong. It's the same one that blocked my attack.' Gangseok watched the fight eagerly.

'Fuck! Does this kid not know how to stop?! You've been attacking the same spot continuously!' Cale gritted his teeth, sweating heavily.

Duke's eyes widened. He quickly retreated backwards. 'Two abilities? I thought he was unaffiliated.. where did he learn that?' Duke frowned.

"It's that wind, the one that beat Gangseok."

They seemed to remember from Cale's previous fight.

Whoosh!
