The Degree
Ray Vs Leo's

“It seems that you guys are currently on Haiyan's side .. can I conclude like this?” ask Ray with apathy.

“Hah! You can conclude that. No matter what, I will end your abomination now!”

Leo and Eric looked serious, Ray knew that there was no loophole for negotiation. They seem to have been deceived by anger. As the wise say, an angry heart has no place for love.

If there had been a time when they were different sides, then there would have been neither mercy nor doubt to eliminate them.

Roid had been prepared to do a clash with Leo as well as Eric, while Ray on the other hand would act providing support from behind as much as he could.

“Let's get this done quickly considering there's a lot of homework to do,” Ray said indifferently.

There is no mercy for those who betray. Once a betrayal is a traitor, Ray will not give a second chance to be betrayed again.

Ray then pulled out his knife, even if with just one hand he was still confident. At his father's institution, Ray is required to be able to fight under any conditions.

“You think you can win? Don't forget, you don't even know what Degree I have,” said Eric who looks to have a certain pride.

Ray doesn't care what his Degree is, although it's troubling because he doesn't know the level of danger but it can be said Ray will soon know after the fight.

It would be bad if his Degree was about martial arts or something related to mental and mind. But beyond that, Ray is sure to be able to overcome it.

“Degree will not help if you die.” Ray swiftly stepped forward towards Eric but someone immediately blocked him.

“You are mine, Ray!” Leo fended off Ray's knife with his elongated claws.

Ray gasped and twisted his body, he gave a powerful kick to Leo's waist but was held back.

A sharp claw pierces the ankle held by Leo. Ray slightly furrowed his brows and jumped up with his feet trying to aim a kick at Leo's face.

There's no other route for Leo than to let Ray go and step back. Leo was certainly aware of how great Ray's physical strength was after holding back his attack earlier.

‘It would be fatal if I received a kick in the face,’ thought while imagining the situation happening.

The previous kick was clearly eyeing the jaw. Leo could have fainted if he had accepted.

‘This bag is certainly not weak. The worst part is that he was never seen using his Degree.’

It's been a long time since Leo was with Ray and watching him from such a close distance. He perfectly understood that Ray Morgan was a powerful figure even without using his Degree.

Leo never knew what degree Ray had. That's what makes him very wary of Ray in all aspects.

“You are obviously lying about your Degree, Leo,” said Ray who is as calm as a river but smoldering like lava.

Leo could feel Ray had an unusual spirit.

“Lantas why? Not much different from you who do not reveal anything.”

If remembered again, Ray did not say anything about his Degree. Maybe he didn't even share it with Terumi. From the beginning the bastard had only made use of the people around him.

Had Haiyan not shown Leo the footage and evidence that Ray was involved in many horrible things, then maybe until the end he was just a tool.

“Of course not a problem. I didn't trust you in the first place. Lions sleep? It was stupid to see from anywhere.”

Ray couldn't believe it because it was strange to him. Leo can extend his nails as he pleases without the need for complicated conditions as Erina does.

“Hah! So you think my Degree isn't a sleeping lion, huh?” leo said in a mocking tone.

“I don't deny the possibility you have a Lion's Degree. Starting from your name, courage and actions can be related to the Degree. There are many possibilities that can happen.”

Leo frowned because he knew Ray wasn't stupid. To be honest, it is a mistake to lie by using a sleeping lion. It was a mistake on the part of Leo who was panicking at the time to introduce his Degree.

As Ray said, his degree is not a sleeping lion but still within the scope of a lion. More precisely the Leo Degree is; a person who resembles a lion.

Just like people who can make objects from emptiness on condition that they are still in the facility. Leo can do the same thing by accelerating growth between his nails. Of course his sharpness and strength exactly belonged to the lion.

“By that's why ..” Ray starts talking, he twists his injured leg by Leo apathetically, “Unknown variable must be removed.”

Ray quickly started moving towards him. Leo gasped because Ray could move very quickly even though he had injured his leg.

“Try it if you can!”

A bloody battle between Leo and Ray begins.

***

Not far from where the two were, Eric and Roid stared at the two men's fight that was getting longer, more intense the fight.

“Wah-wah .. it is still terrible even though I have seen it,” said Roid who shook his head in disbelief.

He had already felt for himself what it was like to have a fight with Ray. Although at that time Roid became arrogant for providing leniency with Ray dropping the initial five blows, it was still a fierce fight.

Ray who only has one hand is able to fight well against Leo at the moment. Although there is a gap from the loss of the hand, but cleverly Ray overcome it with the foot.

“The movement can only be done by professionals. I keep thinking that this guy's Degree is a martial artist. What say?” asked Roid with a faint smile.

Eric just stared intently between Roid and Ray in turn.

“I don't care about anything but taking that bastard's head!”

After all, Eric finds out that his sister died thanks to Ray's rotten plans to recruit her. Although that person does not know his Degree, but maybe Ray is interested in knowing Arthur's past that only Eric knows.

Therefore in order to avenge his sister's death, Eric had been determined to destroy Ray in this place even if he had to pay for his life as well.

“Soaring. You might also be taken advantage of by that bastard,” said Eric, his tone suppressing anger.

“Utilized? Me? Fft! Hahaha!” Roid laughed happily. “This is interesting!”

Roid already knew that Ray was the one who used others like a thread puppet on his finger. But he doesn't know in detail. Hearing that Eric had taken advantage of Ray would have indirectly given Roid some information.

“Yeah, unfortunately I'm not a loser like you. I voluntarily followed after losing a fight with him. Sure, if one day he dumps me then I have set up ‘bom time' for him.”

Roid was confident that he did not need to do something like that. The time bomb won't explode because Roid believes Ray won't commit acts like betraying him.

Sorry, long time no update. And, sorry because it might also rarely update the latest chapter in my three novels here. A little story, I felt bored, and tired.
