Wives of the Battle God! - Chapter 14- Shameless!

The classes continued through a different procedure after the announcement was made early in the morning by the Elite Unit of the capital.

The Veil of Separation was fading which meant there was another inevitable war knocking on the door and humans weren’t ready for it yet.

They knew it would be happening but after just five centuries? It was beyond anyone’s expectations.

But not like they had any choice but to reject this reality and continue their usual lifestyle. Those who can fight, have to get stronger by any means possible in order to protect the helpless.

The Capital has provided the best instructors and resources to train and prepare the rising youths so they could prove to be strong shields against the approaching danger.

The academic tutelage was discarded completely and the instructors were directed to provide as much field knowledge to the student as they could.

After the homeroom which was focused on Basic Spell Formations, students were lined up for martial art training in the third indoor training ground.

The first two were assigned to the upperclassmen as they were also in the same situation as First Years. Or to say, the third year must have more pressure than any other unit.

‘I just hope she doesn’t push herself too much… ‘

Ethan was very well aware of Catherine’s personality and thought process. She’s a patriot on the extreme level who would never think a blink more to even sacrifice herself.

This training and modules… she must be taking this on another level than anyone else already.

“We meet again… ”

Since the best way to train students was to let them fight and teach each other, the instructors just handed them their preferred weapons and stepped aside.

There were other Units of the first years as well, but they were lined up far apart due to their own safety. Everyone in the ‘S’ unit was a monstrous entity in themselves.

The person with whom Ethan was paired up with, was a blond guy whom he had surely met before but couldn’t really remember his name.

“It’s Nelson, you moron. I am here to take my vengeance on you for touching my Goddess Gisele!”

Nelson readied his spear and pointed the tip in Ethan’s direction as he growled in annoyance. It was clear as day with Ethan’s expression that he doesn’t even remember the identity of his potential death.

The others were put in other rings as well, doing their own spars. But none of them carried the blood lust Nelson had. Even the instructor had their eyes locked on this arena since they might need to step in if things went south.

In response, Ethan didn’t pick any weapon. It’s just a curse of possessing the Mobius Creations that he could never wield any normal weapon at all. Those celestial creations are kind of possessive of their wielder.

What was left was his limbs and so Ethan decided to fight barehanded which further increased Nelson’s agitation.

“You will regret this!”

With those words, Nelson darted from his spot with his body leaning forward and in perfect alignment with his spear. His trajectory was outstanding and so was his aim.

Within three blinks, Nelson cleared twenty meters distance as his spear tip was about to penetrate through Ethan’s abdomen. It was a front-on attack which Nelson generally doesn’t incline toward but his anger took over his thought process, resulting…

**SWISH**

Nelson’s eyes widened in shock since he assumed that Ethan was unprepared all along.

Just as the tip was about to contact with his flesh, Ethan raised his palm and using minimal force, deflected the attack easily. Due to Nelson’s pace, he wasn’t even able to counter tha chop Ethan landed on the back of his neck.

Results.

“Ethan wins! Someone drag out Nelson.”

The others were stunned to keep on their fights. It was the shortest fight of the day or more like the spar never actually started before Ethan concluded it cleanly.

Nelson was not the strongest but by no means he was the weakest of the ‘S’ unit as well. But Ethan brushed away Nelson’s determination and passion for this match like Nelson was nothing short of a pest.

Gisele wasn’t surprised much since she knew being a regressor, it was given he would be looking down on this whole academy with instructors included. But she couldn’t help being impressed by his attitude which stays solemn until the end.

It was like without even knowing him, she figured out he would treat these spars as nothing to get concerned about. He’s just like that…

‘What the heck am I… ‘

Gisele shooed away useless thoughts and focused on her battle. Despite being a healer, she had a good bonding with blunt weapons.

Currently, she was facing a shaved-headed boy named, James, with a wooden staff held in her grip. Her opponent had twin short sabers in hand. Gisele had a clear plan for keeping things distant to her advantage.

But…
.

‘Keep your eyes on your back as well… ‘

A voice she has gotten familiar with recently, echoed in her consciousness before she turned to look at Ethan and found him smiling at her.

A deep blush made its way to her ears before Gisele concentrated back on her match. That man is just pure shameless to flirt at a time like this!

“UOOOOH”

James flared forward with his twin sabers held in a reverse grip. His pace was fast but traceable however Gisele didn’t have her entire attention on the approaching man. She just couldn’t help but think of Ethan’s warning.

She does hate that man but doesn’t doubt his battle instincts.

There was a smirk spread on James’ lips as he neared Gisele who was standing still. He couldn’t help but grin upon imagining how he would help Gisele to get up and console her after he defeats her.

Gisele waited for the moment and after augmenting her staff with mana she didn’t charge at the frontman, rather twirled like a beautiful doll and swung her weapon at the real James who was charging from the rear.

“KHAK!!”

The wooden staff which had the weight of a stone pillar at the moment, landed just on James’ collar bone, cracking something inside of him, before the man collapsed white-eyed on the ground.

‘Did I go overboard… ?’

Gisele felt like extending her hand and healing the man but someone held her fondly and pulled her away from the ring just after the match was announced with Gisele as the winner.

“W-What are you doing!”

Gisele didn’t like to be in limelight at all, but the way Ethan was holding her hand with fingers intervened she was bound to be looked at by the other units as well. She couldn’t take it at all, but pushing him away would definitely insult him.

What she should do?!

“Just relax and follow me~.”

Ethan was completely unbothered by the gazes as he pulled Gisele out of the gymnasium and walked to the cafèteria.
