FEAR.

" Do not move!! "

"Stop right there!"

Chaos, scream and panic ensued at First-Highschool. A tense atmosphere enveloped the Auditorium as masked people carrying machine guns and pointed them at the students.

Mayumi who saw that put on a worried expression. Likewise with Miyuki, Tatsuya, Mari and Hanzo who were nearby, they tried to calm the students down but it didn't work.

Tatsuya who was sitting on top of the body of a masked guy he just defeated glanced at the 2.5-tall giant man with a sharp gaze.

' This guy is dangerous... He could easily killed everyone in this place if I didn't finish him off soon.'

"Onii-sama..." Miyuki muttered worriedly.

"Miyuki, you stay here with Saegusa-senpai and the others." Tatsuya said, and as he turned around. He had already seen Lev who was standing casually in front of the big man.

'Lev? What is he doing? ' he thought.

"Kyaaaaa, I don't want to die!"

One of the female students screamed and tried to run away.

"Tsk, i said don't move, you little bitch!" One of the masked men behind Zhigang aimed his machine gun and will actually going to kill her before suddenly...

*wuuuut*

"Argghhh!"

They felt a tremendous pressure throughout their body, holding their ears tightly, as if they were being sunk into the deepest deep, the bottom of the ocean. One by one, they lay helplessly on the ground. Zhigang who saw that raised his eyebrows.

"Hm? What are you doing?" he mumbled quietly. Lev just shrugged.

"Up to 60% of the human adult body is water." Lev said briefly.

While Tatsuya who saw that widened his eyes.

' Huh, what just happened? Magic? But I don't see the magic sequence at all? '

The students who saw the five masked people fall on the ground, immediately flocked out of the Auditorium to save themselves.

"Tatsuya-kun, we can leave that guy to Haiba-kun. He can take care of him by himself. Besides, I just got a report that our school database is being sabotaged, we have to go immediately to the special browsing room in the main building and take care of the problem there." Mayumi said.

Hearing that, everyone was shocked. Leaving a giant who even a fool know that he is strong to a student?

"Mayumi, have you gone mad?"

" Mari, trust me." Mayumi said with a calm look. She had seen for herself how Lev took care of the big man with ease.

Tatsuya who heard that then hit the masked man in his hand unconscious before standing up, looking at Mayumi.

"So Lev is not just an ordinary student, just as i expected. You seem to know something, Senpai." Tatsuya muttered, everyone also looked at Mayumi.

But she just shook her head, before she looked at Lev who was standing in the distance.

"Haiba-kun, I'll leave this place to you!" said Mayumi, Lev just gave a thumbs up.

Tatsuya stared at Lev's back for a moment before he and everyone else left the Auditorium to take care of the chaos that was taking place outside, leaving Lev and Zhigang alone in the auditorium with several bodies of Blanche's dead and unconscious pawns.

" How is your hand ? " asked Lev , Zhigang seeing how calm Lev was, frowned .

"Soldiers don't talk much on the battlefield."

"But I'm not a soldier," Lev replied.

"Bullshit! Systema, it's a special martial art used by the Soviet Union army since decades ago. You are a soldier from Russia, what are you-- "

Zhigang suddenly widened his eyes and felt a suffocating pressure, preventing him from speaking.

Lev suddenly appeared in front of him, and sent a punch to the stomach. He wanted to end this quickly and at the same time prevent Zhigang from being killed by his magic.

They need to talk.

'Ahhhhhhhh! '

But Zhigang didn't give up that easily. He screamed in his mind and tried to escape the invisible pressure before sending a very fast punch towards Lev.

*boom*

Lev managed to ward off the fist with a simple elbow movement, efficiency and speed are the basic concepts of Systema. It was not a beautiful martial art by any means, but deadly.

' Heh... Escape from hypertoxin just by willpower alone. He completely ignored the condition of his body. ' Lev thought before taking a step back.

" *pant* *pant* *pant* " Zhigang tried to catch his breath.

' This guy, his magic... Since when he activated it, I haven't seen him activate any magic at all. ' thought Zhigang.

Lev Insta-Invocation strikes again.

Lev looked at Zhigang calmly.

' I can't use Hypertoxin to the max because it would kill him in an instant. ' Lev Thought.

Meanwhile Zhigang, who had corrected his posture said.

"Tsk, I don't know what trick you used but I won't let you use it again, I'll end this fight with a single attack. Accel 5.0"

Zhigang's body then coated in a reddish glow of magic sequence, making him looks like a demon.

"I will tear your body apart and drink your blood, you Blonde bastard!"

Zhigang's massive body suddenly disappeared from Lev's sight and appeared before him in an instant before launching a very fast blow, Its like red flash. Lev tried to dodge but he felt his movements suddenly slowed down.

'Decceleration? '

' Slow! You're dead! ' thought Zhigang with a devilish grin on his face.

...

*BOOM*

The marble floor instantly shattered as Zhigang's fist hit it.

" He won't survived that. " Zhigang said.

Nobody could possibly survived that, it was the fastest punch he could deliver, he is so sure about it but...

" Bet? "

The grin on Zhigang face disappeared as soon as he realized Lev was standing by his side and holding his shoulder.

' Fuck, fuck, seriously!!? ' Zhigang couldn't believe that Lev had just dodged his punch that might have barely matched the speed of sound.

"My head might explode if it hit me."

"You!" Zhigang tried to get away from Lev but--

"Hypertoxin... 5.0" Lev muttered with a smile on his face. He was clearly mocking Zhigang with his words and in an instant.

"Argghhh."

*zruuuut*

Zhigang felt his hand being crushed and torn into pieces, before his left hand exploded, flesh and blood splattering everywhere.

Zhigang squeezed his shoulder in pain as he realized that he had completely lost his left hand, his knees were shaking and he felt his body would collapse at any moment.

' I can't die here... Gongjin, he still needs me. ' thought Zhigang.

*cluck*

The red light re-emerged throughout Zhigang's body.

"That's a good spirit, I'm amazed. Before I kill you, tell me your name."

"Shut up..."

Lev raised his eyebrows.

" Hm? "

" SHUT UP!!"

Zhigang shouted and tried to attack Lev, covering his body with Accel, he moved quite fast, but it wasn't as fast as before.

' Slow, his strength had already decreased significantly. '

Zhigang sent a punch to Lev's face with his remaining hand, but Lev dodged it easily and delivered a punch to Zhigang's elbow.

*cracks*

Zhigang gritted his teeth, his right hand was broken just like that. Lev then delivered a punch to his stomach, causing Zhigang to vomit blood.

"Ack!"

Lev then grabbed his neck and shoulders, lifted Zhigang's body before running and banging him so hard against the auditorium wall.

*bumps*

He's done. Lev stared at Zhigang who he had pressed against the wall, helpless, standing without any strength, before his body slowly fell to the ground as Lev broke his right knee with a kick.

" *cough* "

Zhigang vomited blood once again, he sat leaning against the wall. In front of him Lev, who didn't look the least bit hurt, was standing, staring at him coldly.

"I don't know what to call you. However, I want to ask you a few things... "

"..."

"Where is Zhou Gongjin? I know he is in Japan at the moment."

"..."

" No answer, huh? "

Lev then crossed his arms.

' He would die soon from extreme bleeding, And it seems like he has absolutely no intention of answering even if I torture him. ' thought Lev.

" *cough* You... White Russia... Soviet Union, when the next world war broke out,... None of you will survive. Destroyed... Demolished." Zhigang said hoarsely.

"Is that a threat? Isn't that ironic enough for a traitor like you to say something like that? Who can't even keep the loyalty to your country," said Lev.

"The Great Asian Union… is not my master, it has never been my master, and never will be. My only loyalty is to one person…"

"Are you also a remnant of Dahan's nationalists?" asked Lev, hearing that Zhigang was silent for a moment before he snorted.

"Hmph! I told you… my loyalty is only to one person. It's something that someone like you will never understand."

"..."

Zhigang stared blankly at the air, his breath so thin.

' That's right... My life, the purpose of my life... the only person who gives my pointless life a meaning... as long as there is him...'

"I...have...no...FEAR."

Liu Zhigang died. Lev who saw that fell silent.

"Fear... huh?"

He muttered, then he sighed.

" *sigh* I should have finished him sooner if i know Its pointless to interrogate him." thought Lev.

He stretched his body. If Gongjin was really in Japan, then he would definitely bring the troops from the Great Asian Union with him. The question is, will Japan Government remain silent?

Besides, what Zhigang meant by the Soviets would not survive the next war.

"Well, for now Blanche is done. Without him, Blanche has no chance against Tatsuya and the others."

Lev then stepped on his feet and left. There are too many problems to take care of.
