The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 43: Junior Group Against Ardan

Some juniors seemed to start hesitating against Ardan. Because, from the preparation like this alone it has been seen that the young man is not an ordinary Cadet. They did hear that Ardan often gets remedial in the academic field, but for training and mission the value is always good.

“I am a bit hesitant to attack Senior Ardan.”

“If not tried, we ourselves are ashamed. There are many staffs also supervising.”

“If the seniors say do not hesitate to give up, but every decision we take during this orientation period will be an assessment of the staff, and it will affect the value of our next semester, he said, included on a fight test like this.”

“Means, this test traps, dong?!”

“Karak kayak is also the context, Biawak!”

On the bench of the front stands, just now Damar and Rafa sit already presented with the doubts of their juniors. Damar breathed that.

“Hah! Ardan always has his own charm to make people so reluctant to him.” Rafa is leaning with both hands supporting the back of the head.

“And are you proud of that?” Damar looked at Rafa.

“Clear.” Rafa pointed at Ardan in the arena there. “He also followed my brother's upbringing, and I've taken him as my own brother. Of course I'm proud of him.”

Again Damar sighed, “.... Precisely because of the upbringing of your brother, I became concerned about him.”

Of course Damar is concerned because it is clear that the upbringing of the Novan Family is very hard and brutal. The proof alone, Rafa who does not care who his opponent will still beat him until almost dying.

Back to the Group 17 juniors. Some of them were ready with horses ready to fight, but still no one advanced.

“Where is this?” didi asked while fixing the glasses.

“Wait for others. I doubt,” reply whispered Dodo.

Seeing his juniors no one came forward to attack, making Ardan loosen the horses.

“Oh, come...! You guys are ken—.”

“Haaaagh!!”

Ardan's speech was cut off when one male junior shot up with his legs ready to kick. Ardan's reflex brushed off the kick until the junior bounced to the side.

“Hooo.... Deliberately waiting for me to let my guard down, apparently?” Both of Ardan's silver eyes slightly glared with a fleeting flash of light. “But, dear... I've been trained to stay alert even when off guard.”.

“Hiaaaah!!”

“Aaaaarrrghhh!!”

“Aaaaaakkkh!!”

Now the juniors began to attack Ardan simultaneously, playing a rumble of course, because there were no certain rules that required them to fight back in turn.

If in a situation like this happens, of course Ardan must be able to handle them alone.

Several attacks ranging from punches, fists, slaps, kicks, to headers several times launched towards Ardan. However, the messy orange-haired youth was still able to brush aside and fend it off easily and quickly.

One fist leads to him. Ardan stepped aside slightly, catching the junior's wrist.

“You're open.”

Then nudged the junior's shoulder until it staggered back a few steps.

One junior had several attacks, but Ardan could still avoid them. Until finally, Ardan kicked the calf behind the junior until he lost balance, was in a supine position about to fall. But before he fell, Ardan began to attack.

“Your attacks are still too slow.”

Ardan fist that junior was up completely fell to the floor.

One female junior darted upwards with a fist ready to be smashed. Ardan grabbed the girl's fist along with his small shoulder, then threw his body until it hit several other juniors.

“Note the position of your colleagues too, Sweet,” said Ardan casually.

While the Group of 17 juniors attempted to fight Ardan, Nadia and Chrysanthemum were still not seen attacking Ardan.

Initially, Krisan was about to attack, but his intention was to be held by Nadia.

“We don't attack as well, Nad?” ask Chrysanthemum flat as usual.

“Do not first.” With the pedal, Nadia said, “Let them attack Bang Ardan first. I'm sure, none of them can survive this Bang Ardan test.”

“Terus?” Chrysanthemum tilting head.

“After all the juniors have appeared unable to fight Bang Ardan, we just advanced. In those moments, I'm sure, Bang Ardan has started to be overwhelmed.”

“Oh! Come, Chrysanthemum...” Nadia explained, “In a fight, we must do everything possible to paralyze the enemy, including cheating even once. If according to the rules, it is not a fight of his name, but a competition.”

Chrysanthemum nodded in understanding. What Nadia explained was true. As a prospective Space Warrior, of course doing everything possible to defeat the enemy is the right action, even if you have to cheat, use cowardly means, or betray even once.

The world of war will never know forgiveness. However, that does not mean someone has to give up his humanity to look strong.

The juniors continued to try to paralyze Ardan, but instead they themselves were overwhelmed by it. During the fight, several times Ardan also commented on their movements.

“Too off guard.”

“You're too slow.”

“Don't focus on hearty attacks, your defense also needs to be improved!”

“Note the position of your friend too!”

“Letoy really kick it. That's a leg, what's a squid arm?!”

“By, God! What kind of fighting technique is that?! Wear mangap everything!”

“You run kayang?!”

From the stands, Damar and Rafa noticed the fight with a flat gaze when they heard Ardan start nagging.

“Well. Now understand ‘kan, how upset I ngetes my juniors earlier?” rafa comments flat.

“Haaa..” Damar could not speak anymore.

Some juniors are already treated by robots who are always ready to stand guard. The rest had already been bounced together due to Ardan's kick attack.

Even just rising up, they had already been attacked by some large iron pegs that had suddenly appeared before them. Luckily, they can still retreat even though some of them had been injured due to scratching the tip of the peg.

“Hei, the cur—.”

“Ops! I forgot.”

The shout of one of the juniors was cut by Ardan's remark. They saw an orange electrical circuit appear for a moment on Ardan's neck and cheeks, then just disappear.

Ardan walked leisurely closer to the long stakes he had created, kicked one of the pegs to soar in the air, caught it, and then swirled in his hand, making him an iron spear.

“You can use the Power of Resurrection.” Ardan flashed a smile while carrying the iron spear on his shoulder.

Some juniors were upset that they had just been told they were allowed to use the Power of Resurrection. If you know like that, they have been using it since the beginning.

“Resurrection Power : Active!”

“Blowing Breath Storm!”

One of the juniors activated his Wind-elemented Resurrection. He gushed a gust of wind as strong as a storm from his mouth towards Ardan.

Some of the items around Ardan flew away due to the strong gusts, even the iron pegs he created were speeding towards the stands behind Ardan. Luckily, the arena grounds are protected by a protective dome. So, those in the stands will not be affected by the various Awakening attacks.

Ardan tried to survive the gust of wind, twirling the iron spear in order to brush off the remains of the peg that flew towards him.

Ardan took a position ready to spear, then immediately he threw the spear towards the junior.

The spear also managed to hit the black shirt on the left shoulder of the junior. Because of the tightness of the spear throw, making the junior also shot until it crashed into the transparent protective dome wall.

As a result of the battle, the junior's attack was stopped.

“Aish.... Basic boy.” Ardan shook his hands in front of his nose. “Your breath smells. You never brush your teeth, do you?”

Damar had several times blinked his eyes, amazed by the accuracy of Ardan's spear throw in the middle of the gust of storm.

“At the time his face was hit by such a strong wind, Ardan could focus on aiming. If I were him when the eyes do not use goggles or other eye sockets, it would certainly be disturbing the same wind.” Damar corrects the position of the glasses. “I'm sure, the throw didn't miss. From the beginning, Ardan was only targeting the shoulder of his shirt.”

“You're overdone, Seblak.”

Damar glanced at Rafa's sewot, not to accept the word Seblak mulu.

“As Ardan said, he will not take excessive action against his juniors, especially if it is to overhaul it really,” comments Rafa, “He just wants to stop the attack.”

One major attack has been dealt with. There are still some juniors who have not used their Resurrection to fight Ardan. Nadia and Chrysanthemum until now still not forward and just watch until waiting for the right time to attack.

“Alright! Who else wants to attack?” Ardan smiled widely until the rows of white teeth look shiny for a moment.
