Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Chapter 249- Physical Lesson (Part 2)

"You can choose your own opponent if you want. Girls with girls and boys with boys. We will mix things up in the future lessons." Scarlett said as she looked at everyone.

Everyone immediately looked at their friends with small smiles. Fighting each other for practice was always a fun thing to do especially when it was with your friends.

Soon enough, everyone chose their friends with a few of them not choosing anyone. Acht was included in that group since he knew nobody in the class and he couldn't bother to choose a weakling to beat his ass.

"You aren't going to choose?" Scarlett asked.

However, unexpectedly, someone approached Acht and shouted.

"Do you want to practice with me?"

Acht eyed the boy casually for a second before he closed them and replied.

"Whatever."

Acht didn't even bother to think about it. His level was way above these people and he could easily crush them if he wanted to so he had to actually be careful or he could send one to the hospital with a small slap.

As for the boy, he chose Acht just out of pure hatred for him. An incredibly handsome dude surrounded by beauties left and right was obviously a thing to be jealous of. That was the peak of life for these people and they could only hate anyone who reached it even if they have no idea about who he was or what he did to reach that. None of that mattered to them.

'I will make him lick the fucking grass.' He grinned under his breath sinisterly.

"Listen now, using your gift is prohibited so don't even think twice about doing that. Targeting lethal points is also a big no. Just a casual spar and everyone will be satisfied. Understood?"

"Yes!" They all shouted in response.

After that, they went inside a medium-sized circle dug into the ground. Acht and his opponent walked inside too and faced each other silently. They were the first to fight by some coincidence.

Acht had his hands in his pockets and was also yawning from time to time. His face screamed 'I'm bored to death'.

"Are you ready, pretty boy?" The student tried to mock him but Acht didn't even react to those words.

"Ok, now, get ready… Start!" Scarlett gave the signal and the fight started.

The boy didn't waste time and immediately charged at Acht swiftly. His speed was remarkable, to say the least.

When he reached Acht, he sent a punch directly to his face.

However, before he could even move his arm closer…

*Slap*

Acht's hand moved quicker and slapped him right on the cheek. The sheer power of the slap was so crushing that it sent the boy flying. It was as if he was hit by a train at full speed. One could only imagine the state of his brain after that slap

His body flew in the air for a few seconds before landing on the ground with a rolling motion. No one spoke for the first 15 seconds since they couldn't register what exactly ensued in front of them.

One slap… Just one slap and the boy was already unconscious. It was not even fit to be a joke for how absurd it was. Hell, even most professors can't knock that student with just a few punches so that made it even more absurd.

'He really doesn't want to hold back.' Scarlett sighed as she touched her forehead.

As for Acht, he could only shake his head.

'I didn't even use 20 percent of my strength. How the hell could I know that slap will knock him cold.'

Scarlett then coughed lightly and approached the boy to check his condition. That slap could've possibly given him a concussion or something like that which is no light matter. It could even be lethal if not treated immediately.

Luckily, after shaking him gently, he woke up again and looked at Scarlett with a dazed look.

"Is this my guardian angel coming to take me away?" He muttered as he gazed at Scarlett's face.

"Huh?"

"Please, hug me…" He said as he extended his hand to hug her.

However, Scarlett pushed him away and stood up again.

"He seems fine. Let's continue… As for you, meet me after the end of the class." She pointed her finger at Acht with an angry look.

The rest of the class passed quite uneventfully, fights passed as smoothly as they could get. No major injuries or anything along those lines. Acht could only sit and watch them as he chatted with Mia and Tania casually.

After the end of the class, everyone started leaving except for Acht who sat down and waited for Scarlett. After returning her paperwork, she came to him and sat down beside him.

"You should be careful next time, Acht. You clearly lack knowledge about the power level here and a small mistake could make you get stuck in unnecessary trouble with some big shot."

Hearing her words, he snorted coldly.

"Never thought they could be that bad. I didn't even use a quarter of my full strength without even using soul force to enhance my physical capabilities.

"I know… But, you should lay low for a while until the next big move."

"Big move?"

Scarlett nodded her head and explained seriously.

"Big things are about to happen in the next few months. There is an expedition that is going to happen soon and it's going to change this world forever if it succeeded."

"Expedition? To where?" He asked.

Scarlett didn't reply and merely pointed at the sky above her.

"Ecrasia? Seriously? Do they have some kind of death wish?"

"It has been in the planning for a while and major powerhouses in the lower world are going to put all of their efforts together to make it succeed. They had discovered a way to pass Ecrasia's shores. The gates that had been closed for a while we're now going to open and it's a historic moment."

"I see… A treasure trove like Ecrasia will obviously attract all the greedy eyes of the strong people. I don't need to ask you whether you are going to participate or not, right?"

"I have no other choice but to do so. I have to."

"Fine, then I am going too and I am assuming the other three will follow us too."

Scarlett chuckled slightly and added.

"Anyway, until that time, let's keep this as calm and peaceful as usual. But, knowing how much of a trouble magnet you are, it's near impossible."

"Not my mistake. Shit always happens whether I like it or not."

'And it's the fault of a perverted goddess I know.' He added in his head with a frown.
