The Hunter System
Chapter 8 - The Fights At the Academy Gate
Zsobab...!
The impromptu punch that Brondy did hit Alvin.
However, unlike what Brondy thought, Alvin was still standing upright in his original place and did not bounce off as he imagined. His body was only slightly tilted as a result of the blow.
["Sir, have you ever studied martial arts?"]
"I've studied boxing" Alvin said.
Hearing Alvin suddenly mutter, Brondy laughed.
He was silent when he saw Alvin did not bounce due to his punch, also surprised by his body that was slightly sturdy than usual.
Brondy knew how strong Alvin's endurance was because he used to beat him a lot, so he knew how weak Alvin's extremely thin body was.
"Box? You want to fight with me, huh?!"
.........
["How far have you learned it?"]
"It's just the basics."
["All right. Please focus on what I say. I'll help you defeat it as long as your opponent doesn't use Mana energy and attack you using magic."]
"Lt..."
Wush...
Brondy who was very upset saw Alvin talking to himself and ignored him, attacked again.
However, his attack this time can Alvin avoid when the System asks Alvin to shift his head slightly to the left.
Then...
["Straight right."]
Wush... Bukkkk...!
With System's direction, Alvin manages to hit Brondy in the chest.
During his life, only this time Brondy got a blow from Alvin. Before, when he harassed Alvin, there was only one-sided beating without Alvin ever being able to retaliate.
Therefore, Brondy gets angry and attacks Alvin again.
They fought without using magic. The use of magic for fights outside the Dungeon by fellow hunters, will be subject to disciplinary sanctions from the Association which strictly prohibits all hunters from doing so.
The association would freeze a hunter's raid permit if they violated it.
.........
Brondy continues to try to attack Alvin, but Alvin can always avoid those attacks quickly thanks to the help of the System.
The system in Alvin's body kept asking him to move backwards while avoiding the furious blow that Brondy was doing.
When the System assesses the position of both of Alvin's legs very well and Brondy is off guard, the System gives instructions to counter-attack.
["Jab to the left face.].
Bukk...!
[Straight to stomach.].
Baaakk...!
[Uppercuts! Hit his chin now!]
Zsobab...!
[Kick stomach!"]
Bakkk...!
The system gave direction with a voice that sounded very excited, more than Alvin who was dealing directly with the opponent.
All the blows that Alvin did according to the System instructions, hit Brondy without missing a beat.
Getting a few slaps, Brondy staggered and almost fell if he did not immediately use magic to strengthen the foundation of the horses on both feet.
.........
Seeing his opponent not fall immediately after he dealt a crushing blow, made Alvin feel a little frustrated.
'F! He is so strong!'
["It's okay. Your muscles are not very strong. With such a simple attack, you must have made him faint when your body formation was already successful."]
"But, I have to get away now" Alvin protested.
["Well, you can escape first today."]
"... I don't want to run away from this jerk alone. Help me!"
.........
At a place not too far away from the scene of the two men's fight, the Academy's security who watched their fight through CCTV seemed confused when they wanted to report the incident to the Academy.
He knew, one of the ones fighting there was the son of this important S City official, who could have gotten him fired if he reported it carelessly.
With careful consideration, for the sake of his own future, the security finally let his fight alone.
"As long as Mr. Lewis wins, I don't think it's a problem" he thought.
......................
Alvin managed to deliver 5 more strokes that are always right about the face of Brondy.
For the first time, Alvin even managed to make Brondy's lips break as System directed him to deliver some of the punches, slamming into Brondy's mouth.
Brondy who was confused by the defeat of the physical fight they did, finally decided to use magic without regard to the sanctions he would get.
He thought that his father and sister would definitely help escape the law.
Brondy began to channel Mana energy into both of his hands. At the same time, thin black smoke began to envelop Brondy's clenched hands.
This time, if he attacked, his speed and punch strength would increase many times over compared to the previous one.
.........
Seeing the opponent already using Mana energy to launch an attack, the System asked Alvin to immediately escape.
However, Alvin was slow to respond because Brondy had already lunged forward to beat him up.
The blow was very fast. Alvin could barely even see the hand that was speeding right towards his face.
But, in the final moments, just as Brondy's fist was only a few inches away from his nose, the figure of the hand caught Brondy's wrist and stopped his attack.
Tapp...!
"You've broken the rules, mate," said one man who then encouraged Alvin to stay away from Brondy.
Alvin stared at his helper's face and was a little surprised when he got to know the man as the one who first gave him a business card at the gym. Alvin also remembered his name when he read the business card.
"You okay?" ask the man to Alvin.
"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Lawrence."
"You know my name?!" Lawrence was surprised, "Call Lawrence, man," she asked later.
In front of the two hunters, Brondy looked at Lawrence. As usual, he was a bit cautious with people he did not know. Especially when it can sense the dangerous aura of the person.
Nevertheless, Brondy also intended to attempt to bully him first. If that person gets his bluff, then he intimidates further.
Otherwise, he would usually back down and remember the person to report to the Lewis family gang members and his sister.
"You dare to stop me?! You don't know who I am?!" Bump Brondy, start his bluff.
Lawrence looked up at the top of the Academy gate, then pointed at the CCTV cameras that were there.
"You saw that, right? My acquaintance is currently in the security room to request CCTV footage" Lawrence said, despite Brondy's threats. He then continued his sentence, "I know you are one of the spoiled children of the chairman of the City S Hunter Association. I didn't hesitate to upload the footage to my social media because I knew the Association would definitely protect you if I reported it there."
"What did you say?!" Brondy is shocked when the man turns out to know her, especially when she threatens him back.
"You just have to stop all this and get out of here. I won't continue this matter if you follow what I just said" Lawrence said calmly.
Brondy who previously wanted to bluff, undoed his intentions.
Not only because of the men's threat, he also knew that his opponent this time might be in the same rank as him. And again, that man is not a healer like Alvin. So Brondy chose to back off.
Brondy looked straight at Alvin with angry eyes. "This time you survived. But not next time" threatened Brondy, who then left them with swollen, bloody lips.
......................
"Thank you for helping me" Alvin told Lawrence.
"No problem. I just happen to be around here and looking at it" Lawrence said. His gaze then descended, looking at Alvin's hand that was covered in abrasions, "You seem to be good at boxing but lack of practice?"
Alvin nodded one of his hands and clenched it to see the blisters there. He then used his healing skill to remove the small scars from his accidental blow to Brondy's sturdy teeth.
"By the way, I'd like you to consider my offer again, man."
"I'm actually still a little traumatized to return to the Dungeon."
"We are only doing magic crystal mining. We'll avoid the territory where the monsters are, "Lawrence's trying to convince.
Having just been helped by the man, Alvin finally gave a little promise, "I'll consider it. When's raid?"
"One week from now. You still have plenty of time to think about it, ok?"
After talking a little longer and exchanging contacts, Alvin who was already very hungry finally decided to go home first.
