“Feel the ground,” Ken is about to unleash his best move.

  Kryon couldn’t understand what he was seeing.

  Gentle breaker!!!

  This move works only when you apply a stronger contact precisely where you want to land your shock punch.

  Veins are the key to using it, and Ken has been practising this ever since he learned about Core Ignis.

  It is his first time using it outside of training. This move seems like a gentle one, as less effort is required, but a significant amount of power is consumed from his body.

  Accuracy is the strength of Ken, so instead of spending time increasing his power, he spent a lot of time improving his accuracy.

  Ken landed this move right on the face of Kryon, knowing that he was too distracted to block or sway it away.

  Kryon felt the shock as his spine tensed when he received that blow. He was thrown to the ground by that blow.

  Ken was surprised by his accuracy, but he knew that the fight was not over yet. He turned towards the red-haired guy.

  He was exhausted, couldn’t see anything properly as his vision became blurred, but he refused to give up and stood thinking about the next plan.

  Lucas was shocked, but he knew what was coming. He immediately grabs Icaron’s hands and orders Ken to back off.

  “If you attack me, I will kill him,” Lucas threatens.

  “What should I do now?” Ken was confused.

  “Save me, Ken,” Icaron shouted, scared.

  “He must have known me, but how?” Ken thought.

  “I can’t save you. If you really want, escape from him,” Ken told him.

  “He can’t save me? How can I escape myself? Am I done for?” Icaron didn’t know what to do.

  Lucas was confused, too.

  “Leave me the way, I won’t attack you, if you don’t, you know what would happen,” Lucas ordered.

  “Who is he to order me?” Ken thought, was angry.

  Surprisingly, he made way for them. Lucas didn’t expect it, but took it happily. Icaron felt betrayed.

  “Nerion, if you see him moving, attack him,” Lucas instructed the remaining one.

  “You don’t want to escape, you won’t believe in yourself?” Ken asked.

  “Even if I try, I would fail, save me, Ken,” Icaron replied.

  “Even a child in your village has belief in herself, why can’t you?” Ken shouted, angry.

  Ken had a plan just in case everything went wrong.

  Icaron felt something. He felt ashamed of himself for the first time. Lucas knew something was changing.

  “I know who you’re saying,” he understood.

  “Why am I pathetic? I need to be strong to protect others, but I can’t even protect myself,” he wondered.

  “From now on, I am going to face my challenges head on, even if I were to fail,” Icaron shouted.

  “What are you speaking?” Lucas said, confused.

  “Thank you, Ken,” Icaron thanked, deciding to fight.

  No longer was he scared; he released his hands from Lucas.

  KICK!

  He kicks him right in the chest.

  “So, you chose to fight?” Lucas muttered.

  Nerion came forward to attack Icaron, and so did Lucas.

  “I don’t know if I can, but I will try regardless,” Icaron felt powerful.

  He swings his arms towards Nerion.

  BLOCK!

  “He blocked me,” Icaron was shocked.

  PUNCH!

  Lucas punched Icaron in the face, coming from the side.

  “Ahh, I need to do something, but if I attack him, I would fall even if I win,” Ken thought.

  Blood is still flowing from his left eye, but his head is hurting him the most.

  “That’s it, your hopes are gone,” Nerion said, laughing.

  “You thought you could defeat both of us by yourself,” Lucas told Icaron.

  Spark!

  KICK!!

  The kick was so strong that it took Lucas several meters apart. Nerion couldn’t believe his eyes.

  “I can help him defeat you,” Andrew said, after entering the fight by kicking Lucas.

  “You are late, but you came at the right time,” Ken told Andrew, happy.

  “Ken, what happened to your eye?” Andrew asked.

  “I will tell you later, save the red-haired guy,” Ken replied.

  Nerion tried to punch Andrew.

  Swayed!

  Shatter Shock!!!

  Andrew used his recently developed attack on Nerion. Unlike Ken, Andrew relies on power rather than accuracy.

  Regardless of his accuracy, he gives excess force towards the target.

  He swings his left hand like a baseball bat in full force towards Nerion and strikes it with all his effort.

  As he used veins to combine his Ignis, Nerion felt the shock throughout his body when he was thrown apart.

  “He is strong,” Icaron said, seeing the hit.

  “Amazing,” Ken muttered.

  Lucas saw that from the ground.

  “If I fight him, I will never win, and also I can’t inform the situation if I were to fight,” Lucas thought while lying down.

  “I might as well act unconscious and inform Veris later,” he decides and creates a plan.

  “Shall we go?” Andrew asked them.

  “Yeah,” Ken began walking, even though he could barely walk.

  “Thanks for saving me,” Icaron thanked them.

  “Who are you? What happened here before I came?” Andrew asked.

  Icaron explained himself and his origins, as well as how they had targeted him.

  “This is getting more and more ridiculous,” Andrew thought after hearing.

  After some conversation,

  Andrew decides to call the guard to inform the situation and give the location where Lucas is present.

  Andrew accompanied Ken and Icaron to the hospital. He later informed both his parents and Ken’s parents about the fight.

  He told them that someone had attacked them on the way, and so the fight began.

  After some time,

  Ken’s mother came to see him. She couldn’t hold back her emotions after seeing Ken’s eye.

  “He would be fine within some days, I went there late, I am sorry,” Andrew apologised to Ken’s mother.

  “Thanks for taking him here, you don’t need to apologise,” Ken’s mother said.

  2 days passed,

  November 24, Friday,

  Ken woke up relatively late and decided to skip another day of the training session. He previously attended it on Tuesday, before the incident.

  His eye was still injured, but he had no major injuries. He decided to return to college after having his breakfast.

  “It still hurts, but I can’t afford to skip many days,” he thought while having breakfast.

  Then, he went to college.

  Everyone was shocked to see Ken injured, and started talking about him, but he was ready for it. He didn’t think a lot, as he expected it.

  Both Andrew and Harkey were happy to see him return.

  During the break,

  “How’s your eye now?” Harkey asked Ken.

  “It’s better, but still hurts,” Ken replied.

  “Andrew told me about the incident. What should we do next?” Harkey asked.

  “We can’t do anything. I just happened to know about it, so I helped, but what can we do if we don’t even know who their targets are?” Ken said.

  “Is that how you think about it?” Andrew asked.
