I Never Wanted To Be a Hero

Chapter 13

All of the Fireflies were cheering on Jaden as he was punching through Yujin's defenses. Nilo screamed,

"Yeah, kill him‼ Hahahaha this match is so bo—"

But he was stopped. At that moment, all of them shouted,

"Woah‼"

They were all shocked at Yujin as he broke Jaden's leg. Matthews screamed,

"Woah‼ An unexpected turn of event‼"

Marco asked,

"What the hell is happening here?"

The fireflies watch helplessly as Jaden's were mercilessly pounded by Yujin. Lumon said,

"Marco..."

"What is it?"

"This guy is no joke. Everyone, listen to me, when I said it before, that his fist was glowing when he tried to punch me a few days ago, there's a large possibility that it is true. Therefore, what happened at the first trial is also true in which I saw him using a shield to defend himself from my shockwave. That itself tells us that this guy is probably hiding more surprises for us. Marco... you saw what happened here... you might be his next opponent. Better not underestimate him."

"I understand."

After that, Marco turned around and walked straight to the hallway to proceed to the arena. But along the way, Marco and Yujin crossed paths at each other. They didn't say anything. But Marco noticed how confident Yujin was walking right after winning his match. He also observed that Yujin felt like he didn't receive any damage from Jaden. Marco whispered,

"This guy... he took a lot of punches from Jaden, and yet he walks like Jaden didn't even punch him nor kick him."

Without any rest, announcer Matthews proceeded with the next match-up.

"And our next match is one of the students from 1-15 again, Marco Endo‼ He's facing against the ace of 1-2, Almira Toho‼"

Marco stepped on the platform against his opponent, Almira Toho, on the other side. Yujin looked back at Marco before the gate closes.

"Master, he's our next opponent, aren't we going to watch the fight?"

"We don't need it. His noctian is basically an improved earth elemental noctian that allows his skin to morph into metal. Other than that, everything is shit. He couldn't create nor control metal. What we need right now is to practice is your endurance. Fighting somebody with a metallic body will require a big endurance battle. That is what you're lacking, and that is what will we train right now."

"Alright..."

Yujin immediately walked away without even studying his future opponents. The announcer screamed,

"Our Round 2 for the 1st elimination round begins now‼"

Almira quickly released an air beam that successfully landed at Marco directly. But Marco was left unscathed due to his metallic body. For three times, Almira has been hitting Marco repeatedly with air beams while Marco just continued running towards her.

"Hey... aren't you being too dumb right now. You know this doesn't hurt me."

Despite saying that, Almira still kept on hitting him. Due to her attacks, the arena was slowly getting filled with smoke.

"Hey... you're nearly a top student in this school. A 1-2 class. I didn't expect you'd be this dumb. Expecting my metal would probably weaken after a few attacks. Let me tell you something, it doesn't work that way"
