The Walker Of Voids-Chapter 117: Classes [3] - Unarmed Basic Combat [3]

A few nurses walked in and dragged Beliar away. Seeing him leave the room with the nurses, Instructor Kim looked at the remaining five and a hungry and almost seductive grin.

'Oh shit... No wonder she reminded me of Veronica... She's crazy!' Lloyd thought with panic while his eyes darted around the room so he could find some way to escape.

"You. Come here." She gestured with her finger again, causing the girl to furrow her brows slightly before walking toward her.

The girl had blonde hair and fiery red eyes. She reminded Lloyd of someone, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"The name is Haley Reinhart. And I'm going to make sure you remember it." She grinned as sparks of fire came out of her skin.

"No mana usage." Instructor Kim narrowed her eyes.

"This is a battle field, and there are no rules in the battle field!" She roared as her flame-imbued mana coursed through her mana channels and into her muscles, skin, and body. Her skin began to glow a luminescent orange before flames engulfed her body, shot upwards, and descended onto Instructor Kim like a meteorite.

'Ah... I get it, she's crazy too.' Lloyd thought, having already prayed for the corpse she would undeniably be after breaking instructor Kim's rules.

"What you say is true..." Instructor Kim muttered, raising her finger and stopping Haley's foot without a second thought.

"However, among warriors, we have this thing we call etiquette and respect." She looked into Haley's eyes through the flames, causing a shiver to go down the young girl's back.

Haley jumped back and created a spread in her hand without a second thought before throwing it at the instructor. However, despite seeing a spear of flames approaching her, she did not move.

The instructor simply waited as the spear of flames slammed into her exposed abdomen, yet what Haley saw next made her chin fall to the ground.

Not a single scratch... She was completely unscathed.

'Damn... That was cool.' Lloyd thought with with starry eyes behind his contact lenses.

"Not only do you not have a single shred of etiquette in you despite being from a higher family..." instructor Kim took a step forward, her aura expanding out of her body, freezing Haley in place.

"I don't have a single shred of respect for you either." She spat on the ground and disappeared from where she stood, leaving a large footprint on the ground before appearing behind Haley.

"Your name is not worth remembering." She whispered into her ear before drowning her in her aura and causing her to faint.

The nurses came back and silently took the girl away.

"You, come here." She pointed at another boy that Lloyd didn't recognize. He threw three punches before being beaten, but that was much better than the majority of the class.

The same thing occurred when Jay was called up. Sure, he had the body for a close combat fighter, but he did not have the class, the body cultivation, or the skill and technique it took to be one.

"Jay Ludwig. You rely far too much on your abilities, class, and mana to be a good close-combat fighter. No matter how strong you are as a Dreamweaver, you are powerless when the person before you has a stronger mind than you." She explained, with a small nod before giving him a chop to the neck and knocking him out cold.

"Alright... Only you two left now. Which one wants to go first?" Instructor Kim asked, making both Lloyd and Luna look at each other.

Lloyd didn't want to go first since he wanted to watch Luna in action. On the other hand, if he had gone first, there wouldn't be that many people there to watch since most of them have been healed and are beginning to return.

"Can we both go at the same time?" Luna asked, being one step ahead of Lloyd since he was about to ask the question as well; it was just that he was trying to weigh the pros and cons of doing so.

"Uhhh. Sure? Why not? It'll be more fun." She grinned, finally getting into a battle stance.

"No mana... Come at me with the intent to kill." Her grin widened as she gestured for them to come at her, yet this time instead of using one finger, she used four.

"Don't hold me back, peasant." Luna snarled.

"I could say the same thing to you, brat." Lloyd chuckled mockingly.

*BOOM*

As if they were in complete sync, both Luna and Lloyd shot toward their instructor.

While Lloyd could have moved a lot faster, he was still surprised that Luna was moving at the same speed as him. If his knowledge was correct, the speed they were both moving at was comparable to a half-step second commandment.

Luna, on the other hand, was shocked. Lloyd was an initial stage first commandment that had entered the same class as her by some kind of miracle. She had tried to see if there was some kind of secret to him, but despite trying to analyze him, she could never see past his aura, and after a while, his commandment that she barely got a glimpse of.

Not wanting to be outdone, Luna let out the full power of her killing intent, allowing a wave of crimson darkness to leave her body for a moment.

Due to her young age, her killing intent wasn't as powerful as her commandment, but it was still far from what the others from higher families could do.

'I guess I should have expected this from a person from a founding family.' Lloyd thought.

"Come on, Lloyd Elrod! Show me what you've got!" Instructor Kim taunted, making Luna widen her eyes and Lloyd narrow them.

'She knows his name...' Luna thought with a scowl.

Seeing that she was asking him to release some of his killing intent as well, he chose to release a small portion of it, flooding the hall with his killing intent that was barely stronger than Luna's.

Lloyd didn't want to have too much attention on him, but what he failed to consider was the fact that Luna was technically a prodigy, while he was a nobody that sat on the first two rows.

Even those who have entered dungeons found it hard to create a slither of killing intent despite one of the more obvious ways of improving killing intent being the act of going through several life-and-death battles.

But for Lloyd, it was different.

When he entered the void for the first time, he didn't just fight to the death; he fought with everything he had until his final breath. He just got lucky that he was pulled out before his body and soul shut down, since it would have only taken a few more seconds for him to be killed despite his powerup at the end.

The same could be said about his fourth void walk when he fought against the lightning monster that almost killed him.

He was quite literally on the verge of death. He felt like blood was filling his lungs despite him not having both of those things. And then he used void channel, which restored him to his peak state before also trying to kill him again.

And the final reason was simple... Because there was another way to increase the power of your killing intent, and that was through killing sentient beings, or more specifically to him, humanoids.

The moment Lloyd executed Veronica, his killing intent skyrocketed in power. Now, even though he was trying to only send out tiny bits of what he had, his control over the improved killing intent wasn't strong enough to make it weaker than Luna's.

The moment Lloyd's killing intent washed over the hall, they all stood still, even stood still, more out of surprise than from the effects of the killing intent itself.

However, Lloyd didn't.

Blasting forward, Lloyd appeared in front of her and threw a punch as strong as the punch of a mid-stage first commandment.

The instructor narrowed her eyes but still blocked the attack by crossing her arms over her chest in "X."

However, the punch wasn't aimed at her... It was a ruse to create momentum, and that he did.

Stepping to the side, Lloyd's punch hit thin air, yet it gave him to momentum to spin on his toes and perform a backheel roundhouse kick.

Of course, instructor Kim saw the attack coming. Yet, she was still impressed since it would have most likely fooled anyone who wasn't as experienced as her, or anyone without the necessary reaction time to block the incoming attack.

But she had both of those things.

Ducking under the kick, she threw an uppercut toward his chin, but she made sure to reduce its power and speed to that of a peak first commandment.

Lloyd, seeing this attack coming, grinned. It instantly confused his opponent, but she quickly realized what was happening and was even more impressed.

Luna was now behind her, having completely concealed her killing intent until the moment of the attack.

Intending to chop her opponent in the neck, she sliced it through the air so quickly that it looked like a blur to most.

Lloyd had already jumped back the moment he saw instructor Kim's intention to uppercut him, and with the speed she was going at in that moment, it would be impossible for her to turn around in time to stop Luna's attack.

Or, at least, that's what Lloyd thought, but he was quickly proven right.

There was no need to stop the attack if you'd already planned for it, right?.

Instructor Kim placed a hand on the floor and kicked backward with her left leg, which had already been in the correct position to perform this move.

Lloyd's eyes widened when he saw this, and he tried to dash forward to help Luna out. However, Luna had already dodged the attack by flipping over Rachel Kim and using her flip's momentum to slice at their instructor with everything she had.

Rachel Kim barely dodged the incoming attack, but she found herself being attacked again quite quickly as Lloyd had reached her by then, his foot shooting toward her face at a speed that quite literally broke the sound barrier.

'Holy shit.' she thought, quickly jumping out of the way of the kick, but now she had to deal with Luna, and since Kim was in mid-air, Luna had the advantage.

Luna and Lloyd continued to attack their instructor with quick and cornering attacks that made it impossible for their instructor to fight back.

Well, that was until she got bored of the same routine and decided to finish their little spar.

Her power output didn't change immediately, but her aura did.

Dodging Luna's attack, she quickly punched her in the gut with the power of a peak first commandment before slamming her palm into Luna's side, causing her to fly toward one of the walls and crash into it.

Seeing this, Lloyd instantly knew that she was now serious, but he was now in the middle of a dilemma. Does he continue fighting, or does he let her beat him up?

Feeling her palm slam into his chest, Lloyd got blasted away and chose to stand down at that moment.

He could have increased his power once more to see how strong he was against her without using any of his abilities, but that were far too many spectators, so he threw that thought out of his mind.

Laying on the ground without saying a word, he simply listened to their instructor boast about her strength before he got up with a fake pained grunt and walked to his next class.

[Author's note: Do not worry. The rest of the classes will take up a chapter at most! And the elemental classes will all be done in the same chapter]
