Martial Arts Worlds
Chapter 488 - 488: Go!

The eyes of everyone in the stadium followed the slowly falling ball, wondering where it might land.

It was officially the last minute of the first event.

"Shit, it's the final minute! Give me the fucking ball!"

"Argh, stop pushing me, you fools!"

At that moment, Kiernan caught the ball, his black hair billowing in the wind like a flag, and a handsome look on his face.

The horde of representatives all charged at him all at once—to them, he was nothing but a thief that was taking away their points.

"Iron Style, Ghost Spring!"

Kiernan sprang forward, and identical-looking figures sprouted out of his body like a ghostly army—they all jumped in different directions, holding the same point ball, and looking absolutely identical to Kiernan.

"Ah…?"

"What the hell…? There is more than one of them?"

"It must be a trickery of Aura Image of some sort!"

They jumped after the afterimages, punched through them, but they all proved to be fake—they wondered where the hell the real one went!

"He is there!"

"He is running away!"

A short distance away, Kiernan was running away at full speed—it didn't last long as his path got blocked, and he got surrounded.

He crossed to the left but immediately got blocked by more of them, and they all tackled straight at him—but shockingly, they went straight through him.

It was another afterimage!

The real Kiernan actually sidestepped to the right and dashed past the encirclement—everyone realized that they had been tricked and chased after him.

"This bastard!"

"Catch him!"

Swoosh! Swoosh!

At that moment, two young men dashed past everyone and caught Kiernan in an instant—their aura was mind-blowing.

"The ball is mine; give it to me!"

Sun Jupiter reached out to the ball, but Kiernan moved it out of his reach—then, Seo Donghae came from his right side and moved his hand towards the ball.

Kiernan dodged the hand and then blocked the fists coming from the two young men—the elbows and legs also came into play, creating a whirlwind of action that left everyone watching in awe.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

The three of them continued to exchange blows while the rest of the representatives desperately ran after them.

Meanwhile, the commentator sorted out his papers, tried to find out who was the carrier of the ball currently, and then heard a voice in his earpiece.

"Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable! The current ball carrier is a young man from a tier 4 country—Kiernan Hunter of New Rakuya!

"He is being chased down by Sun Jupiter and Seo Donghae, who are standing at the top of the rankings, yet despite their best efforts, they hadn't been able to steal the ball from this tier 4 representative!

"Unbelievable!"

…

Irio, Hunter's Residence.

"Come on!"

Julian jumped to his feet and spilled some of his soda on his new trousers, but he didn't seem to mind.

"…Show them who you are."

Karma grabbed his fist with his left hand and squeezed hard—the scene on the television made his heart race with adrenaline.

A little furball watched the goings-on from the top of the stairs, staring straight at the television, and when he saw the young man on the television, he had an urge to howl.

"…Yip!"

…

Nightingale, Abracadabra Castle.

…Crack!

Karl-Michael destroyed a cup in his hand—so hard that it shattered into many pieces.

"…Is that who I think it is?"

Nevaeh covered her mouth slightly and gazed in the direction of Bella—she was standing by the corner, but she beamed with a smile.

"…A name that I recognize."

Christmas looked up from the phone with a narrow gaze and said.

"The top ranker of the Game, right?"

The name—Kiernan Hunter—had become quite familiar to the children of Abracadabra as they were tasked with the herculean task of beating his time in the Game.

"…That's him, huh?"

Messiah's eyes rounded up in fascination, and slight smile appeared in his lips—it looked like the championship would be more interesting than he thought after all.

'Zeus, oh Zeus. If you lose to him, oh boy…'

…

Mugenryu, Martial Academia, Boys Dormitory.

"Oh shit, go, haha!"

"And now who the hell is this one?"

Young men had gathered in the dormitory's common room to watch the Junior Martial Arts Championship.

Most of them were previous participants of the championship—well, pretty much all of them.

"I sure feel lucky that I didn't have the displeasure of competing in Point Ball. Holy hell, that looks miserable!"

"Haha, that tier four trash sure knows how to run! He sure is putting up a fight against that God High's strongest student, haha!"

At that moment, a serious-looking young man walked over—he had gray eyes and hair like ash with locks of gray weaving through it.

"…I know him."

Cadell Blood said with a slight look of disbelief on his face.

"Oh, you know him, Cadell? Who is he?"

A grin-faced young man asked—he had a powerful aura that didn't lose one bit to Cadell.

"Some trash I met back when I went to New Rakuya with Miss Muriel and Sir Godfred. I fought him, and he was pretty insignificant.

"If he managed to become representative of the country, it tells me all I need to know about the strength of New Rakuya's youth—pathetic."

Cadell said coldly.

"Haha, Cadell sure doesn't hold back when he voices his opinion!"

"Nah, this is different. What did this guy do to you? I feel like there is some deeper resentment over here, haha!"

"Hmph…"

Cadell scoffed and just crossed his arms—when he was looking at Kiernan on the television, he wished that he would trip or something so he would embarrass himself.

However, it became clearer by the minute that Kiernan wasn't a pushover—he was holding his ground against Sun Jupiter and Seo Donghae!

…

Mugenryu, Martial Academia, Girls Dormitory.

In the common room, the girls cheered loudly as Kiernan landed a powerful kick on Sun Jupiter's side, causing him to stumble back.

"Go, you handsome devil!"

While their excited screams resounded throughout the dormitory hallways, a beautiful girl looked over from the doorway of her room.

She was drying her hair with a towel as she had just finished taking a shower, and at that moment, she caught sight of the television.

Her mouth opened slightly before it came shut again.

"…I wonder what his soul looks like now."

Muriel thought out loud to herself, then walked back to her room and closed the door behind her with a slam.
