Czar sent a flaming fist to the face of the insolent man.
With a little twist of his forearm, the fist landed with a dull sound.
No one noticed when the punch was sent as it happened in an instant.
Czar smirked. 'Fool!' He thought after an impact was felt by his fist.
Airi had a scared look, while Cinde blinked her eyes to process what was happening. She heard a dull sound and after that,
"Wha--!" They all heard a surprised utterance from Czar's mouth.
Even his mates widened their eyes in shock that wiped the grin on their faces.
.
Ever since Czar first showed in the academy, no one dared to catch his flaming fist.
Even the expert with a rank higher than him would think twice to do it. They rather evaded it or try to counter with their attack.
"Simone, d-do you think….. sothing wrong with my eyes?" One of Czar's mates asked the person beside him.
"What do you an?"
"I'm seeing weird things. That person caught the Captain's attack," said the person in a tone that couldn't be understood if he was laughing or crying while brushing his eyes to clear his vision.
But an unexpected reply ca to him, "yeah, I also thought it's a hallucination," Simone replied.
"Dammit, how is that possible?!" The uncontrolled volu of his voice reverberated inside the Little Garden Departnt building.
"That guy caught the fist of a 5-Star False Path Expert!"
"Right, It's hard to believe."
'Who in their right mind would do it, anyway. The 5-Star False Path Expert had different levels of strength. They could even unroot a huge tree with just bare strength. And on top of that, Czar was reinforcing his fist with his fla. Wait…' Simone thought then stopped when he noticed sothing.
Just then, "fufufu, crazy!" They heard Czar's loud taunt.
Cinde and the others wondered why he suddenly said so.
Just then: "No, Crimson's hand was on fire!" Airi shouted when she noticed the fire from Czar's hand, slowly crawling on Crimson's hand.
"Hehe! You dared to catch my fist! Then take the recoil of your stupid action!" Czar laughed at him.
"Oh right, there's no way soone can block the captain's fist without paying the price!" Simone said in excitent.
When the sll of the burnt human skin wafted into their noses, most of them smirked at the white-haired Encan in front of them.
Professor Ronnie knitted his brows and glanced at Ella. But Ella also had a frown on her face. In truth, she was bothered, especially when the burning sll reached her nose.
Cinde was also frowning. She never thought that Czar was this strong. He could even burn Crimson's skin even though he had high resistance to it. Cinde thought when she rembered Crimson burning himself inside the cave. She could also feel the massive amount of magical energy circulating inside Czar.
'He's as strong as Roman?'
'Wait!'
'When did he beco so strong?' Cinder thought again in surprise.
"Hehehe!" Czar grinned further. But soon he froze.
Crimson was standing without moving.
The pungent sll of smoke was carried by the slight gushing of wind into Crimson's nose.
But they noticed that he seed to be unbothered by it as he was still gripping Czar's fist.
"What- how did you--!?" Czar was puzzled when he couldn't pull off his hand.
"What a jerk!" He yelled.
"Sigh!" Then he heard him sighed unpleasantly. Czar knitted his brows while twitching his face. He wondered what his sigh ant to be. But the weirdest thing, this person's countenance did not change the slightest even though his skin was burning.
After a sigh, "My Deity," he called out.
Just then, Czar and his mates noticed sothing on Crimson's shoulder.
'A fairy?' They thought. But when the person in front of him did resonance with the fairy, "No, it's a human toy!" He changed his initial thoughts.
'"Unbelievable," One of Czar's mates muttered. It was very unbelievable to see an Encan person using a human toy, so seeing him carrying one was out of the ordinary.
Without releasing his grip on his hand, "Heh!" Crimson scoffed at Czar.
Czar's intuition scread for a warning, then cold sweats started to pour on his back. 'Dammit! Am I feeling afraid of him?' He couldn't believe that he felt it to soone who wasn't even known in the whole campus. No, it wasn't because he was afraid. It was one of his passive skills that enabled him to sense danger.
Although puzzled as to why he felt danger out of a sudden, without a second thought he summoned more flas to get rid of his grip.
Unfortunately, he didn't succeed, the grip was still firmly holding his fist while staring at him with a face without a change of emotion.
The others were holding their breaths.
Cinde shouted their nas to stop. But to no avail. Airi was quivering, and Ella was sighing, wondering why he wasn't using his Spell Canceller. 'Although this place will lower the effectiveness of it, I believe that Crimson can still cancel that fla of Czar,' Ella thought. 'Perhaps, Crimson just wanted to hide that skill of him,' she added.
It was the reason that she felt so relax at first, even though the situation in front of her wasn't a pleasant one. But looked like she could not relax anymore.
The professor was stunned. As a professor, he wanted to calm them to not worsen the issue. But his curiosity defeats him.
Czar had regretted not using all his strength when he punched him.
He used his other hand to punch him again, this ti he used most of his strength. The fla on it was fiercer than the first fire-fist.
However, it was caught by Crimson again.
Czar's friends couldn't understand what was happening. They wondered why that person was still catching their captain's flaming hand!? Even though his flesh was burning. Wait! Sothing was weird! That person, could it be he had resistance with fire? They finally noticed.
However, Czar's fla wasn't an ordinary fla. It could lt tal in an instance!
After so much thinking, they heard Czar scoffed at the enemy. After it, more fla surged out from his body and enveloped both of them.
The pressure of it destroyed a segnt of the ceiling. Ronnie's scream could not be heard by them anymore as his voice dissipated together with the noise coming from the surroundings.
Cinde used her fla-shield to protect Ella, Airi, and herself. Ronnie on the other hand, protected himself and his rare materials using his alchemy magic. After all, his magic wasn't a bit weaker against the students. But Ronnie's magic was more on defensive and healing.
Czar's n stepped-back because they as well could not handle the pressure and temperature of his fla.
Just when they thought that everything would turn to a cinder, the flas suddenly disappeared.
"Cough! Cough! Cough…" then they heard coughing sounds.
They glanced and saw Czar curled on the floor while holding his stomach. Blood was dripping from his mouth.
Crimson on the other hand was standing while looking down at Czar.
The wounds from the burn had already gone like there was nothing in there in the first place.
Czar's n fell into silence as they stared at their captain crawling on the floor while coughing blood.
All of them could not believe what their eyes were seeing.
They didn't notice what happened at the last second as they tried to fight the pressure from their captain's aura.
A second later, they called out his na and ran to his side.
"How dare you!" Simone roared at Crimson but when he noticed that Crimson was unhurt and no little wound on him, he almost chokes himself at the surprise. "How did you survive without getting hurt?" he was able to force a question while staring at him with knitted brows.
At first, he wanted to kick his ass, but after what happened to their captain, he started to question this person's strength. Or is he even capable of kicking him? Even their captain was mysteriously beaten by this person.
From the back, "Crimson, are you okay?" Rea's shout reached their ears. She ran to his side to check if he was fine.
That burn slls awhile ago was just so awful. She expected him to be gravely wounded.
But,
"I'm fine…" he replied and glanced at her.
When Rea saw his face, she was stunned for a mont. No sign of pain on his face. She then looked to his arms and hands. Yet, she could not find any wounds.
Rea was puzzled about where his wounds went.
"Hehe, I know it, don't worry, Ella. Crimson is not easy to get hurt. He is a healer after all," Cinde who also ca beside him suddenly said to Rea.
Rea was surprised.
"A-a healer…? Ngh! A re healer...!" The one who repeated her words was no other than Czar who was currently trying to stabilize his breathing.
'How co a re healer had defeated ?' He could not fully agree with Cinde's words.
