Chapter 25

Runaan said a single word with a vacant gaze.

"Step back, Martha."

"I already told you."

Martha's eyes shone.

"I don't listen to those weaker than me!"

Her fist pierced through the air, storming towards Burren.

Whir!

Right before the aura-enhanced fist reached Burren's face, a green wind shot up.

Wham!

Rimmer, who used to be on the platform, appeared in the blink of an eye and blocked Martha's fist.

"You really are ignoring me too much. Even if you think I'm easy, it's regrettable that you are acting like I don't exist."

He pushed Martha's fist back with a cheerful smile.

"Martha, I heard you failed because of that temper. It looks like you haven't changed."

"That's..."

"Unlike Burren or Runaan, Raon hasn't learned aura yet, just as you've said. Do you really wanna fight, knowing that?"

"I'm not going to use my aura, either."

"You know, that still doesn't make you equal. Since there will be another opportunity in the future, stay patient for now."

"Tsk..."

Martha pouted and took a step back. However, she kept glaring at Burren without leaving.

"Burren Zieghart."

"What?"

"You know your older brother was beaten up by me and was forced to stay in bed for an entire month. If you are trying to be arrogant, you'd better get stronger first."

"I'm different from my older brother."

"We will see about that."

With a thin smile, Martha turned away. Runaan and Burren, seeing that, relaxed and stepped aside.

At that moment, Martha turned around and kicked off from the ground at the same time.

"I hate cowards that hide behind others even more than arrogant bastards!"

In a flash, she pounced on Raon, and swung her fist.

"Eek!"

"Ah!"

Burren and Runaan couldn't react, and Rimmer was staying still despite seeing it.

'I knew it.'

Raon's eyes remained calm. He'd already expected her to come at him the moment she shifted her center of gravity as she turned around.

Tap!

He used the back of his hand to fend off Martha's fist, which was aimed at his chest.

"Huh?"

"Are you ready to be punished?"

He swung his clenched fist. His fist, including the rotation of Void Tiger Fist, was aimed at Martha's defenseless abdomen.

"Eek!"

Panic could be seen in her eyes. Gritting her teeth, she gathered brown energy in her left fist.

Wham!

A bare fist and an aura-imbued forearm collided, pushing Raon and Martha back at the same time.

"Didn't you say that you weren't going to use your aura?"
