Benefactor?
All were confused especially Alfred this time.
When did he become their benefactor?
Seeing his confused expression, Tiffany explained to him: "You're the one who defeated my brother right? Did you know that was the one of reasons why he has driven away from that school and get punished in Black Region…"
Little sister, I'm not, don't slander me. He looked silently at Tristan's expression, as expected, it became ugly right now.
"And because of that punishment-"
Little sister, please stop talking!
"My brother became matured a bit right now, thanks for kicking his out ass otherwise if that didn't happen, I don't know what he will become today, maybe nosy, arrogant, narrow-minded"
"Did you know how much-"
I don't know, I don't know please stop talking.
"I and my other siblings were surprised when we heard about him after two years, especially the fourth child, Previously my brother really hated her so much, but now, I don't know what happened because I feel brother really doted on our youngest now. When I saw her before bragging about how her eldest brother trained her for the first time in her life, she was really happy, if she knows what you did before, she will be forever grateful to you. Brother thank-"
She didn't finish what she said when Tristan already pull her hand and hurriedly go away. He said: "Let's go!"
Hearing his sister continuously revealing his black history, his face became the same as black right now.
(AN: Black History, Blackened Face, Black Surname, Black Swordsman from Black Region. Just joking hahaha, don't mind me.)
"Eh, brother, I'm still not finis-"
"Let's go!"
"This… Senior Jade! When we meet again, I want your autograph!"
"Senior Iris, if my brother makes you uncomfortable, don't bother about him, he's just a toad that wants to eat swan me-"
"Can you please shut up!"
"Hi…"
Until both of them were out of their sight.
"I'm surprised right now" Paul said.
"His little sister was quite hilarious and funny, I like her" Jess said.
"How does it feel to have a little sister as a fan, Jade?" Paul patted Jade's shoulder and smilingly said.
"Uhm…" Jade doesn't know what to say so he just stays silent.
"But be careful, that bastard was overprotective, didn't you see his expression when you hold his sister's hand, hahaha, his face seems like he wants to kill someone."
Jade was speechless.
"But the most surprising thing was you, Alfred, it seems you and him have a story huh, I can't imagine how you kicked him out" Fred said.
"That was just a fluke, if i remembered it right, few days ago before the top 10 qualification starts, his father died. He might be disappointed at that time, so miraculously, i'm lucky that time that i defeated him" Alfred knew he was just lucky at that time.
"Come to think about it, it seems all coincidence, especially to you Iris. It's you who snatched away Alfred from GFUC, and it's also you who saved Tristan. And now both of them were here. If their school knew about it, I don't know how they will react?" Jess looked at Iris and said.
"I didn't know him (Tristan), it's just a coincidence, also I didn't only invite him (Alfred), I invited three" Iris was afraid she might be misunderstood by them, so she explained it. But is it really?
There are also Klein and Josh that she invited before.
"Next year's competition, they might hate us" What Fred meant is the GFUC.
"They're in a different region, we might not meet them, also, we must reach the top 5 in the regional competition first before we have a chance to meet them." Paul said.
"Anyway, the mission today was finished, let's have a rest first, there are still 2 days before the auction come" Fred suggested.
Iris and others nodded.
…
"Brother where are we going?" This time Tristan already let go of her hand, and Tiffany keeps following him, wherever he goes.
"Far away from them" Tristan just said.
"Hihi, brother, are you embarrassed?" Tiffany smirked at him and said.
"Because you're mouth never stopped talking, you didn't even give me a face, by the way, what autograph are you talking about, I don't agree."
"Hmph, it's my own right, can you control me?" She pouted.
"That guy was nasty, don't be fooled by him"
(Jade: "….")
"Brother, you're jealous right?"
"Wha-What jealous are you talking about, me? will jealous about you?"
"Then, it's sister control" She murmured.
[Exactly little sister, you got it right]
(Shut up!)
"Let's go!"
"Where are we goi… eh, isn't it the same place we went to earlier? Don't tell me we will still sparring right?" She looked at him.
"Didn't I say before? The thunder breathing technique, I will show you"
"Oh, it feels interesting" Hearing about that technique really piques her interest. She is practicing it, but she still can't make a form since she's just started. She is also not focusing much attention on it while practicing.
"Here, I will show you, the first form of thunder breathing!"
But when he was about to start, they heard a voice rushing toward them.
"They're here, I saw them here"
"Let's go"
Some people followed the location of footprints.
"Where? did you find it?"
"They must be here just follow it"
Tristan: "...."
Tiffany: "...."
They looked at the people near them with dumbfounded expressions.
We're just near you, how can't you see us?
(Blackwyrm Coat: Not my fault)
"Hey, you, say, why you looked familiar to me?" Tristan asked one of them.
Others were surprised when they suddenly heard a voice near them.
What?
It's them!
Why we didn't see it?
"Boss, boss, here they are, here they are!"
"That guy, it's that guy who bullied us!"
"Where?" There are two people in front rushing towards them followed by others in the back.
"So, it's you, the one who dare to bully our men?"
"Boss, be careful, that girl said her boyfriend was an expert!"
"Che, what if it's an expert, do you have no confidence in us?"
"Boss Jin, Boss Mar, if you make that guy kneel in front of me and give that woman to me, I will introduce both of you to my cousin."
"Hoho, that woman figure is really good, what if we taste it first and then give it to you?"
"This… then how about this" He passes a 25,000 HCP cheque to them.
"As long as you give me that woman, this was all yours."
"Hehe, young master you're really rich. It's a pity for that woman, but remember your promise"
"Are you doubting the credibility of the Castillo Family, we're not petty for that"
"Okay, okay, also you must introduce us to your cousin group, not to her but to their mercenary group"
"Don't worry I will"
"Long-time no sees bastard, hahaha, you're an expert, right? is it great to be an expert? now I brought two experts here, let's see how you cry" Tenan looked at Tristan and mocked him.
Tristan saw most of them are familiar, especially this guy (Tenan).
"It's you again, you really didn't learn huh" Tristan looked at him coldly.
Seeing his cold look, Tenan trembled a bit, but seeing the two experts on his sides, he feels secure and looked at him: "Hehe, you're still pretending? Do you think I will get scared?"
A few seconds before.
"Brother, should we go?" looking at them especially the two people in their middle, Tiffany felt nervous now and whispered to him.
"It's just a mere Expert, what are you afraid of?"
"Brother, that's why I'm afraid because it's two experts You have no chance, should we run?" Tiffany didn't know if his brother is pretending or courting death, but anyway no matter where he is, it was a disadvantage.
"No, it's an opportunity why should we run? I will show you all the breathing techniques, just watch"
"Brother you're crazy!"
Then hearing what Tenan said, Tristan just sneered and said. "Oh, with these people, you think you feel strong now?"
"Stop pretending. If you give me that woman and kneel down in front of me, I will spare you. You don't need to act tough."
"Young man, I think you should consider what he said. Do you know what this is?" Jin holds out his tattoo for Tristan to see. He expects Tristan to show a timid expression upon seeing it.
But Tristan does not know what it is and says, "What are you?"
"You!" Jin felt insulted and pointed his finger at him.
On the other side, Tiffany immediately called Timothy asking for help, and then hang up and prepared a video. This was her last struggle since his brother don't want to go.
"That woman was making a video" Mar said.
"Hmph, don't worry, when we beat them, we will get it" Jin said
"Young man, don't you realize which group you are provoking right now? It's a Blood Mercenary Group!" Mar
"Fine, fine, whatever, I don't care whoever group you are, whether its Blood bla bla bla, since you're here, don't come back"
Tristan left hand held his Wado Ichimonji in his right waist, he said to Tiffany: "This was the perfect chance to demonstrate it"
Heard what he said, the two became angry right now.
"Brother, this person can't be shaken. We should beat him first until he becomes docile. For sure this guy will cry later" Mar said.
"Yeah, I will go" Jin was already enraged by his (Tristan) attitude right now. He prepared his two daggers and then activated his win element.
Expert Early-Peak Stage
(AN: There's an Early-Peak, Middle-Peak, Late-Peak)
Mar watch the scene first, he thought with Jin it was already enough.
Jin disappeared.
Tristan said: "This was the first form: Thunderclap and Flash"
Bzzzzzzz
Zhiiiiing!
Since it's a beginner, Tristan also includes his lightning elements on it. Actually, to release the full potential of Thunder Breathing, one should reach an Intermediate. But Tristan was an exception because he already reached Intermediate with Two-Sword and Three-Sword, he also had a rare bloodline, and peak beginner stage in 1 Sword. And…
He can feel it…
An insight into breaking through intermediate mastery with these people.
Jin who just appeared is already greeted by a slash. He was caught off guard by this.
"Ah…"
He flew away!
"Jin!" Mar widened his eyes in surprise and then…
Tristan already appeared in front of Jin: "Third Form: Thunder Swarm!"
With using 1 Sword, Tristan can only use the first-three form, while using the two and three swords, he can use the first-fifth form. This is what he practiced other than cultivating nature more than months ago.
He realized that he lacked long-range offensive, so he practiced this.
Actually, even before when he was still in Black Region, he already knew this move, and also performed it but he was still Senior Stage at that time, and using countless forms will exhaust him, especially since you need to be vigilant at all times. And when the system displayed Zenitsu, he was amazed at how he used just 1 form in thunder breathing, so he imitated him, and didn't bother the rest of the form.
And now he was already an expert and feeling the lack of offense, he familiarized himself with it again.
Back to the situation
Jin was surrounded by lightning.
He had no choice but activated his unique ability: Acrobatics
He jumped high although he was hit by a bolt of lightning, he escaped, but his shoulder was burnt by the lightning.
He activated his Wind Boost and then appeared again to attack Tristan.
Tristan who was already prepared and said: "This is it, Second Form: Rice Spirit"
First Slashes with Lightning
"Ah!" Jin was hit
Second Slashes with Lightning
"Ah!"
He activated again his Acrobatics to jump backward.
Tristan's third slash was missed.
But surprisingly after that move, Tristan moved his right hand into the scabbard on his right waist and then…
He re-sheathed his sword in the scabbard by his left hand.
He can feel it.
Breakthrough!
Intermediate Mastery!
"Thunder Breathing First Form"
Bzzzzzzzz
Tristan is surrounded by lightning.
It's stronger than before!
"Thunderclap and Flash!"
Shiiiiing!
"Ah" Jin shouted.
He already jumped but still...
It's so fast, he was still caught by him
His right arm was cut.
It's so decisive, it's so ruthless!
He really dares, in this region?
"Bastard! Stop it!" Mar already join to stop it.
Now this time he regretted it.
Because this time he knows that they provoked a terrifying beast.
A ruthless man!
They need to kill this man right now otherwise if this guy revenge...
Their group will suffer a big consequence.
Their leader and vice-leader will put a blame on them and be a scapegoat.
He activated his water element and then used 'Water Blast'
"Thunder Breathing Fifth Form: Heat Lightning!"
Whoosh
Bzzzzzzzz
BZBZZZZZ
Lightning > Water
Seeing the lightning coming towards Mar, the latter immediately dodge.
Bzzzzzzzzzz
"Hoho, using Water Elements against Lightning, you have guts" Tristan said.
Then Tristan activated "9 Pound Slash!" on his back.
"Puh!" Jin flew away again.
His condition was already bad, his right hand was cut, and now…
He forced himself to stand up again.
Tristan felt countless water bullets coming towards him and dodge it.
Then a fog surrounded them.
"Everyone, help me, we must kill him this time otherwise, you will also suffer" Mar said to some seniors in the back.
