Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

Chapter 92: John Kick ass

What just happened? How come John is beating his opponent, even though he lost initially!! How come a magician gets his ass handed over to him by a hollow?! Just how?!!

Not only the first-year students and the second-year students, but also the instructors, staff, and the headmaster of the academy speechlessly spectated the fight between John and Lucas, perplexed by the fact that the hollow was dodging all of his opponent’s attacks, almost as if he could predict his attacks.

“Is this really John? How is he performing so well?” Lisa’s eyes widened, and her mouth gaped as she watched the combat between her groupie and an unawakened magician with an expression of disbelief plastered on her cute face.

“Has he been hiding his strength?”

“I think it isn’t as simple as you think. He is at the same stage as his opponent, and they are of equal strength, but the reason he is winning is probably due to the magic eyes hovering around them,” Theo said while looking at the arena.

“You’re correct. John is using the magic eyes he conjured using his magic matrix to their maximum limits. He is using them to look at his opponent from different points of view. He is using that to see the movement of his opponent’s body, from the twitching of his bones and the twist of his waist to the bulge of his muscles and the range of his limbs. Moreover, he is determining the trajectory and the range of his attacks and moving as well as stepping out of their way in time, and thus, perfectly evading them.” Elliot said, able to understand the technique John is using to beat his opponent black and blue.

“Wouldn’t that require a heck lot of computing power?” Lisa blurted out in shock.

“True,” Elliot nodded his head while saying those words, agreeing with Lisa’s words about John.

Theo felt impressed by John’s intelligence, so he said, “I guess John was a genius all along, just that he was a gem buried under the dust and stone.”

Although John was intelligent since birth and was able to tell which side he should stand on and what type of person he should befriend to survive in this cruel era, nearly all of the people turned a blind eye to him due to small-mindedness and prejudice, and the fact that he was a Hollow, a magician that has no hope of awakening as they can’t contain supernatural cells in their blood vessels, attributed a lot to this.

“Genius or not, he must have put a lot of work to integrate the magic eyes with his fighting style,” Elliot said those words so that the others won’t undermine the hard work John put in over the past month and attribute his current accomplishments to his computing powers.

“He must have trained harder than us to achieve that,” Theo said, feeling a bit embarrassed of himself. While he was gathering intel for the sake of his race and making love with his girlfriend to live his life and award himself, John was training to become a stronger magician, something he should have been doing!

“I don’t believe that you’ll be able to dodge this!” Lucas said in a loud voice before he leaped towards John, throwing a jab at his chest, which John blocked by stepping out of the reach of his extended fist, shocking Lucas once again. Without any delay in his movement, however, Lucas took a step forward and kicked towards his waist. Almost as if John was looking forward to it, with a slight movement of his hand, he trapped his leg between the bulging muscle of his arm and his waist, effectively immobilizing him. Then, he took a step forward and started to land one attack after another on Lucas’s face, knocking out some of his teeth as he tried to free his leg.

“Ugh! Stop it, you bastard!” Lucas cursed out loud,

“Heh, you are just asking for it!” John said as his grip on Lucas’s leg tightened, and he started to land heavier attacks on his face.

“Ah, my face!”

“I’m just starting!”

“Ugh! You brute!”

“You would have been even brutal if you were in my shoes!”

“Fuck! Let me go!”

“Beg for it, you whining bitch!” John said as he landed two smacks on each of Lucas’s cheeks, and his eyes teared up due to a stinging pain that rose from his cheeks and assaulted his senses.

“I’m sorry, my foot! You damn bastard, I will never ask for your forgiveness!” Lucas said with a twisted expression on his face, still looking down on John even though he was getting his ass handed over to him.

“Hmph!” John coldly snorted, raised his free hand for a brief moment, and swung it down at his face, slapping him so hard that a clear, crisp voice sounded in everyone’s ears, and the same happened not once, not twice, but an uncountable number of times as Lucas tried to fight back and break free.

Pa* Pa* Pa*

By the time Lucas’s leg managed to slip away from in between his arm and waist, John has slapped him silly, making his face look exactly like the red butt of a hairy baboon.

After Lucas broke free from John’s vicious grip, he immediately backed off, all the while he felt anger and humiliation bubbling up in his heart, soul, and mind because John had slapped him several times.

“You look like the finest ass of a baboon! Hahahahaha!” John said out loud intentionally so that everyone would hear before laughing at the top of his lungs.

With blood trickling down his broken nose and teeth shaking in his mouth, he looked at John and screeched like a ghastly banshee, “I don’t believe it. How could a mere trash dodge all of my attacks and beat me senseless?! How?!!!”

“You say I am trash but then what are you! No words? Listen well! You’re worse than trash!” John retorted with a sly smile, and Lucas charged towards him like a mad bull.

“Heading straight towards death that he barely managed to escape last time. What a fool!” Instructor Leonardo said in his mind as he saw Lucas charging straight towards John.

Lucas exchanged a few punches and kick with John before John trapped him once again, and then a beating far crueler than last time began.

“Ugh!!”

“Ahhh!!”

“Ouch!!”

The screeches and wails that sounded no different than the last sounds of a dying pig sounded across the arena, making everyone think that this wasn’t a fight between magicians but a show where a butcher slaughters a pig, and they laughed out loud while thinking that.

John felt tired of it, so he yanked Lucas away from himself.

Lucas fell out of the boundary of the arena, losing his consciousness the moment his head touch the cold ground.

“The winner of this match is John!” Instructor Leonardo announced before he glanced at John with surprised but happy eyes.

“I won!” John raised his hands in victory as only Lisa, Elliot, and Theo cheered for him. It was sad, but people’s prejudice against Hollow wasn’t going to change with a single victory
