The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 51: Compassion

The black shadow accompanied by a purplish aura seemed to jump high in the air, then shot rapidly towards Ardan.

“Exit!”

Ardan had to throw Nadia and Chrysanthemum's body away because there was a possibility that the aura of the shadow would explode when it hit its target.

Ardan re-created five flying pegs, then he used them to withstand the shadow attack.

When the black shadow collided with Ardan's flying pegs, a wave of black shadow waves created with a purplish aura. The shadow wave was so fierce that it made the protective dome crack.

“Egh..!”

Ardan himself was instantly overwhelmed just for holding back this shadow attack. When he looked through the pegs, Ardan was stunned to realize who was now attacking him.

The figure of the black-haired young man was attacking him using two daggers that could produce a powerful shadow aura. Not wrong again, the boy was looking for a fight with Ardan.

“Heaaargh!”

As strongly as possible Ardan pushed the five flying stakes so that the shadow user away and his aura attack stopped.

Surely Ardan's actions worked. The user jumped away from Ardan, stopped his shadow aura attack, and landed well far in front of Ardan.

It now seemed obvious that a figure had attacked Ardan all of a sudden. The black-haired youth with dark eyes was seen standing quietly while twirling the two purple-patterned black daggers.

Ardan briefly stared intently at the young man, then his gaze shifted to the five flying pegs. Ardan only realized that the tip of the pegs was destroyed by the shadow attack earlier.

Ardan was not surprised. The reason is, the shadow power released by the young man is as strong as the power used by Nadia when making artificial forests.

The difference, Ardan felt that this young man could stabilize the Resurrection energy he used, unlike Nadia who was easily wasteful of energy.

After Ardan threw it, Chrysanthemum and Nadia got up, both stunned to see who had attacked Ardan all of a sudden.

“Kris.... Ukh!” Nadia had a cough because she again felt the side effects of wasteful energy while releasing more Awakening Power. “That's the guy who yesterday insulted us one group, right?”

Chrysanthemum did not reply, he simply remained focused on looking into the arena. Unmistakably, the one who had attacked Ardan was the young man who had a storm with Ardan yesterday.

Although Chrysanthemum's face still looked flat, in his heart he was irritated by the young man's presence.

Just disturb.

“Hey, you!” One of the staff called Krisan and Nadia. “You guys hurry to the stands! Currently, the arena is in a state of danger.”

“Baha—.”

Nadia's speech was cut short as she and Chrysanthemum noticed some cracks in the transparent dome that protected the audience stands from the danger of the Resurrection Power effect.

“This way, huh? Though when I use my Resurrection, not until the effect is as severe as this,” comments Nadia astonished.

“He can stabilize the energy he used to launch force, so it is not wasteful,” clear Chrysanthemum understand the situation, “In advantage, he can give a more fatal attack.”

“Ap—.”

Nadia bit her lower lip while looking at Ardan's current state of being overwhelmed.

Of course his cousin was overwhelmed. Ardan had already fought a dozen more juniors at the beginning of the test, against him and Chrysanthemum who were issuing attacks with all his might, and again this young man who suddenly appeared gave a fatal attack as if he wanted to kill Ardan.

Nadia hopes, hopefully Ardan can survive.

“Come, Kris.”

Chrysanthemum nodded at Nadia's invitation to the stands.

The two girls took seats beside Rafa and Damar who were currently also in focus looking towards the arena.

“Who is that boy? Looks like I have a grudge against Ardan,” asked Rafa astonished.

“She Shujin, Bang. Ukh!” Nadia coughed again when she just sat next to Rafa. “One of Bang Ardan's juniors who yesterday had a storm with him.”

“You're okay, Nad?” rafa asked worriedly to see the condition of her sister who had several coughs. “Mending you out for treatment.”

Nadia shook her head, “I'm nothing, Bang. Sitting still here will also restore my energy. I want to see the state of Bang Ardan now.”

Rafa continued to ask, “Emang they had a fuss about what was yesterday?”

Now it's Damar's turn to answer, “.... Shujin protested about yesterday's introductory activities. Supposedly, do not be complacent ‘lah, must be firm ‘lah, this-it ‘lah. Anyway, this Shujin feels that yesterday's activities were useless and even demonize other juniors as well as say our academy &as.”

“Segitnya? Tuh son ever hang out with no people, anyway? What's the length of time in her room?” rafa's circus is getting irritated. “Newly entered the academy ‘dah koar-koar, kayak him the most real aja.”

“That's him making Ardan fuss with Shujin. He also dared to comment so yes because he felt great, maybe. The proof, just nongol ‘dah love this fatal attack to Ardan who already looks tired abis ngetes many juniors.”

“It seems, Shujin did not accept the reprimand of Bang Ardan yesterday, Mas,” said Nadia to Damar. “Mumpung today test fight, he retorted by attacking Bang Ardan as strong as he was when Bang Ardan had started to be overwhelmed.”

Rafa returned to focus on the arena, he also had time to see some staff reinforcing the thickness of the protective dome through the system of security robots. They still let the testing take place even though Ardan had started to get tired because Shujin was a junior who had not been tested.

In contrast to the detached Nadia using the great Power of Resurrection out of annoyance with Ardan's thud, Shujin instead seemed to have a veiled intention to seriously injure Ardan.

On the arena field, Shujin seemed to be standing leisurely with both black daggers in hand. His dark eyes looked down at Ardan when he found the senior breathing heavily, a sign that he was overwhelmed withstanding the fierce attack of his shadowy aura.

“Why? You can't lose to your own juniors, can you?” ledek Shujin's.

Ardan is still silent not retaliating. He tried to catch his breath while closing his eyes, his five shattered flying stakes he vanished into ashes.

Shujin again continued while twisting one dagger, “There is still one junior you should test. If you fall in the hands of your own juniors, it will look very embarrassing.”

“You won't get any extra marks, and I'll get a chance to get a perfect score, even jump class if lucky. Right, right?”

“Come.... Shouldn't the disciplined warrior be strong, able to withstand all attacks, including from the main attack just launched at the end? The same time junior attack itself directly lost..?”.

“Then, free you yesterday sook-sook’an negur continue this talk-it to reject the facts I told you about being a disciplined and assertive soldier candidate.”

“The results of this test have an effect on our debate yesterday, Senior.”

There was an emphasis from Shujin when calling Ardan a senior, sounding really intent on mocking Ardan.

“If you lose to me, it's because you're wasting too much time just socializing, arguing, telling everyone how silly you are.”

“The soldier must have fun so don't be too happy, he said.” Shujin clasped her hands on her chest. “That soldier what a real clown?”

Some Taruna-Taruni were heard whispering in the stands. They confirmed what Shujin said. Here, if there was a senior who collapsed in the hands of a junior before the test was completed, then it would be considered embarrassing.

Although it was only a test in the orientation period, but for the seniors their defeat was just as disgraceful for them.

Although naturally Ardan lost because the juniors he faced were strong enough before, but it would still look embarrassing if he lost to a Shujin.

Ardan won't get any extra value.

More and more people will hate Ardan, not only because of his strange and annoying nature, but because he is considered not good at completing tests.

They did not expect this fatal result if Ardan failed to survive to test a Shujin.

“Blah, blah, blah.... Plenty of bacots like before.”

Shujin glared in annoyance when she got that presumptuous response from Ardan.

The orange-haired young man with the headband himself looked up, stared back straight at Shujin accompanied by a wide grin typical of madmen.

Yes, regardless of how despicable Ardan is in the view of the haters, Ardan will not care.

He will still be himself even though all his actions look shameful.

One hand of Ardan created another Resurrection Weapon in the form of a metal spear. However, unlike before, this spear is decorated with bright blue electric circuits and there is a plasma ball in the middle of the spearhead body.

In the stands, Rafa has just realized something, “Ah, he just pulled out the actual Resurrection Weapon.”

“What?!” nadia and Damar said at the same time.

Rafa continued casually, The spear that Ardan used from the beginning was not the original Resurrection Weapon, just an ordinary metal spear created from the element of his strength. If this one is original.”

“Means since earlier...” Nadia was at a loss for words when she realized it.

“Iya.” Rafa nodded. “Secretly Ardan, he won't beat up his juniors using Resurrection Weapons. He still cares about his fellow soldiers. But, if this is how it is, it means... Ardan is already too fed up with Shujin.”'s attitude

Damar, Nadia, and Chrysanthemum became anxious about what this testing would look like.

No. gabe. Perhaps this can no longer be called a test anymore if Ardan really uses the original Resurrection Weapon.

In the arena, Ardan twirled his spear until the plasma light on the spear seemed to glow forming a neon path following each spear move.

“Actually, want me to lose to my own junior, get a low score until a remedial subscription again, even hated one academy also I do not care. Because as I said yesterday, my veins have broken.”

The silver eyes of Ardan who was half glaring seemed to emit a sharp lightning, a sign of being fed up with this figure standing arrogantly before him for having managed to corner him.

“But it seems, a person like you must be given another understanding. Some of your comments have a point, but I can't accept if you insult your own colleagues even this academy.”

“Who are you to dare to demean others? Disrespecting your fellow comrades and constantly complaining is an act of loser, in no way reflecting the warrior of discipline.”

“Then I do, let me teach you another lesson.”

Then, loudly and firmly Ardan said,

“Please get you here, boy!!!”
