Chapter 96:New Teacher?

Adryan heard distant footsteps getting closer and only smiled slightly.

It was show time...

.....

'That was too easy! The powers of a Beyonder are incredible!' thought the hooded figure of a woman who moved quickly through the sewers with a huge smile.

This woman appeared to be dressed in women's black hunting clothes and the hood of her jacket was pulled up to hide her hair.

Making a turn she stopped her run and began to walk towards a cracked wall while pulling down her hood revealing her wovy green-black hair and bright brown eyes.

This revealed that she was a young lady and she had an aura of superiority around her.

Approaching the hole that was no bigger than her clenched fist, she quickly smoothed her hair before gracefully bending and tapping gently over the hole, as if she were knocking on a door.

"Teacher, I'm here for my Beyonders class" the young woman said excitedly and waited patiently.

But after a few seconds she frowned.

"Teacher, excuse me, are you there?" she asked somewhat confused as she tapp softly above the hole again.

Again there was no answer and this made her frown anxiously.

"Teacher, are you there? Look, I did what you asked me to and I stole all this just as you told me" the girl said anxiously as she took several things from her pockets.

These varied between precious rings, fat wallets, makeup, gemstone encrusted necklaces, etc.

But again there was no response from the hole and this made the young woman pale.

Putting the things aside she crouched down and poked her eyes into the hole.

"Please excuse my manners!" the green-haired girl said as she tried to see better in the hole.

She squinted to try to see better but it was too dark and she couldn't see well in the dark.

So focused was she on that that she didn't notice how a figure was approaching with silent steps towards her from behind.

Standing to the side of the woman, the figure raised a red eyebrow in amusement and a small smile formed on his face.

Slightly bending over, the figure spoke into the girl's ear.

"If you're looking for Flora, she's busy right now~" the male voice said amused and the girl's pupils shrank.

Out of reflex she quickly moved her hand to her arm and pulled out a medium knife and tried to stab the man who had spoken.

This had been extremely fast but the man still dodged it with extreme ease as he only moved his head to the side and the girl's attack passed by.

"So close! Better luck next time!" the man said quickly and anger began to build rapidly inside the green-haired woman.

She was in a very disadvantageous position so to try to improve that she tried to kick the man's knee to unbalance him but he raised his leg again and blocked her attack.

"Are you really her student? What a disappointment" the man said sadly and the young woman growled angrily.

"SHUT UP!" the girl yelled furiously as she gave a roundhouse kick that the man dodged again backing up but this gave the young woman enough space to stand up and get a better look at the man.

He was a rather tall young man with a handsome face, muscular body and a prominent chest, with red hair and eyes, he also had a provocative smile that made her see red.

She didn't even think about it and pulled another knife from her belt and now with a knife in both hands she charged at the redhead.

He just jumped to the side avoiding the right thrust of the green-haired woman who tried to deliver a high kick to the man's face but he only moved his head to the side as he kicked her supporting leg.

The green-haired girl's leg slipped and she fell hard to the ground, grunting in pain.

She covered herself waiting for a blow that never came and just looked surprised at the man who looked at her with pity.

"Did you lose your mind so quickly? That's sad, Flora really failed as a Teacher" the man said with enormous disappointment while shaking his head, this only made the young woman more angry.

"SHUT UP!!" she yelled furiously as she threw one of the knives at the redhead who dodged it again.

"Uff what a pity you failed, now you only have one knife, so tell me what will you do now?" the man asked amused and the green-haired woman yelled furiously as she got up again and rushed at the redhead.

This time she lunged towards the face of the redhead who looked at this with an emotionless face.

Ducking, he let the thrust pass and before the woman could react he gave her a strong blow to the stomach that made her drop the knife at the same time that she fell to her knees while vomiting.

The man just looked at this with serious eyes before sighing while shaking his head.

"It's obvious that you've never used a knife and you've never fought anyone, your guard is practically non-existent" the man said calmly and the greenhaired woman only growled hatefully as she looked up.

She was holding her stomach and there was a trace of vomit on her jaw, the redhead looked at this with pity and took a handkerchief from his pocket.

"Take this and wipe your face, you look horrible" the redhead said unhurriedly as he threw the handkerchief at the young woman's face.

She removed the handkerchief from her face and tossed it aside.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU BASTARD!" the woman yelled with pure hatred, getting up trembling but when she took a step forward her legs gave out and she fell back to the ground.

The man looked at this calmly and sighed as he approached the girl.

"A good blow to the stomach will leave you with your legs shaking for a long time, first sit down and rest in a while you will be able to walk well" he said as he grabbed the girl's arm and sat her down.

"Do not touch me!" the young woman said furiously and removed her arm from the man's grip.

Seeing the young woman's reaction, the redhead just sighed again and squatted down and calmly looked into the young woman's hate-filled brown eyes.

"You know that if I had wanted now you would be dead, right?" he said in an emotionless tone and the young woman gave him a look but unable to keep it, she lowered her gaze to the ground.

Seeing this, the redhead nodded this time.

"Well that's the first step to recognize the truth, now can you tell me where you went wrong to end up like this?" he asked while pointing at her and the hatred in the woman's eyes was disappearing being replaced by confusion.

Using the sleeve of her jacket to wipe her mouth, she was silent for a few moments before answering hesitantly.

"I completely underestimated your strength, I didn't have my guard up and let your words get to my head is that correct?"

Hearing the answer, the redhead smiled with some surprise and gave a little applause.

"Not bad, that's correct, now that you know what you did wrong we can improve from there, I'll give you a few more minutes to rest and we'll continue" he said with some pride as he got up.

"Wait who are you supposed to be?" the greenhead asked quickly and this made the redhead smile and he turned around.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm your new Teacher in the Beyonder world" he said bowing slightly and the woman widened her eyes in surprise.

"Wait Teacher? But then what happened to Teacher Flora?" she ask incredulously and the redhead let out a soft laugh.

"Flora had to return to the family to recover, you should know that living like a rat is a very bad idea, you will understand it in the future"

"But don't worry, as I told you, she left me in charge of your teaching" the man explained calmly and the green-haired woman just nodded surprised.

"We had to transfer her quickly so the most she could tell me is the meeting point she had with you so I don't know your name"

The green-haired girl was still surprised but the man's question made her nod weakly.

"I'm Hazel Macht" the young woman introduced herself somewhat uncomfortable.

The redhead nodded with a small smile as he extended his hand towards her.

"I'm sure you've heard of me, I'm James Holmes and from now on I'll be your new Teacher" the man introduced himself and the woman widened her eyes in surprise.

"I would prefer you call me Teacher Holmes" the man said with a sharp smile.
