Chapter 339 - Not So Barbaric.

Petter wiped his cold sweat that was about to start dripping down. After seeing Juuso defeated, he had a bad feeling about this, but after seeing Lauri and Sami attacking at the same time, he started feeling more relaxed and confident in the victory.

Lauri and Sami made eye contact and did a small nod each. With only their eyes, they managed to plan their upcoming attack.

Their plan is far from simple. At first, Sami will distract Ichiro's attention, while Lauri will make a series of quick sneak attacks, gradually injuring Ichiro and making it so that he won't be able to use his whole strength to his advantage.

Once he has gotten injured enough, Sami will start his onslaught of attacks and push Ichiro closer and closer to the edge of the arena, which blocks every escape possible for Ichiro.

Once he is cornered, Lauri will deal the finishing blow and will do an extremely cool flying kick, which will send Ichiro flying away while coughing mouthfuls of blood.

Just from eye contact, they managed to create such a plan.

Now only one phase was left in the plan, successfully completing it without any mistakes.

Sami took a deep breath and exhaled out from his nose. He nodded and was ready.

Lauri slowed down significantly so that Ichiro's concentration won't be on him, instead on Sami.

Ichiro's face still looked calm and composed, without any worry whatsoever.

''Hey!'' Sami screamed, which caused Ichiro to look at him, just in time to see him throwing a punch at him.

Effortlessly, Ichiro used the side of his fist and deflected the fist away.

Sami grimaced after feeling a surprising amount of pain around his wrist. Even though Ichiro's move seemed simple, the pain was far from it.

'Come on, get his attention!' Lauri screamed internally after closing in on Ichiro, but his attention wasn't fully focused on Sami.

Sami gritted his teeth and unleashed a solid front kick, which he expected to get blocked like dozens of different opponents have done against him, but he soon realized all his experience was useless in front of Ichiro.

Ichiro raised his leg and did his own front kick, which hit Sami's foot successfully, and it wasn't even a question of who was going to win this clash.

Sami soon widened his eyes after Ichiro made an attack, which he didn't expect even the slightest. Instantly, he felt a sharp pain in his foot, and the next thing he saw was him getting sent flying!

Lauri widened his eyes and quickly unleashed his own punch, but Ichiro was already prepared and deflected the fist before sending a backhand fist at him.

Lauri didn't have time to dodge, and the backhand successfully contacted with his face, making blood gush out from his nose.

*BAM!*

Ichiro wasn't done and kicked at his shinbone, making a terrifying and loud sound of flesh getting smacked by something heavy.

*SMACK!*

''Argh!'' Lauri screamed, and out of reflex, he crouched slightly, but that was a mistake because his posture was now ruined.

Without further ado, Ichiro spun around and did an inhumanly quick back kick behind him, which he felt contacting against something.

The kick struck Lauri perfectly on his face, and his attack was strong enough to even kill him, but Ichiro reduced most of the strength output at the last moment and only sent Lauri flying away.

The audience was stunned. No one even breathed a sound after seeing two of their strongest fighters lying on the ground with their faces bloodied.

Onni's fist struck Hessu's shoulder, which earned him a cry of pain, which he liked to listen to.

Looking at the three young men riddled with bruises in front of him, he felt satisfied, but then thought it was weird that the audience was so quiet.

He decided to find out the reason for that and soon found it. His face can't describe the shock he was in after seeing Lauri and Sami desperately trying to stand up while Ichiro wasn't even sweating!

Patti was celebrating silently, and if they were anywhere else, he would celebrate as loud as possible, but it could be considered rude in Damio.

Hessu, Antti, and Antero, with painful gazes, turned their heads and soon widened their eyes in shock after seeing the scene.

''Ptui!'' Lauri spat out blood, but it wasn't the only thing. He saw pieces of his teeth floating in the blood, which caused him to touch his mouth and felt multiple teeth missing!

''M-My face…'' He started touching his face all around and felt that his nose was broken, but also his makeup was ruined, which made him enraged.

''No!'' He quickly hid his face from the audience, and it was like he could feel the piercing stares on his face while laughter was ringing on his ears.

But, the audience was silent; no one were laughing or even concentrating on Lauri's broken face.

Their concentration was on Ichiro.

They had thoughts like, was this how the people from Arya fought?

The way Ichiro fought wasn't as barbaric as they expected. His calm yet effective moves destroyed both Lauri and Sami.

It wasn't something they expected, but seeing Ichiro fight was nice to look at.

''Stand up!'' Petter screamed at Sami, who was holding his painful leg, and he even looked like he might start crying at any moment.

''I-I can't!'' Sami screamed and rarely has to deal with such pain, ''I-I think my leg is broken.''

''It isn't, stand up, or you will be expelled for not listening to your coach!'' Petter screamed until his voice became hoarse and face red.

Unfortunately to him, this wasn't a closed event, and literally everyone heard him.

The audience looked with disgust at Petter, while the Mayor of the City of Architecture turned his head towards the principal, who looked pale and angered at the sudden turn of events.

This was supposed to be an easy victory, but suddenly the team he was very proud of was getting destroyed by a single individual!

'Arya's Government… They scammed us!' His eyes went bloodshot, and he made sure to make them pay heavily for this!
