Chapter 853: Cute Slime Girl
The battle stage was once more ready, and standing on it were three young men and a single slime girl. Ako looked at the three people in front of her and wondered why they all looked at her with a bit of fear in their eyes. She had yet to do anything to really make anyone fear her, but here they were, almost shaking in fear at the sight of her.
She sighed as she asked: "Are you coming at the same time or doing one on one? I do not care which but just know if you forfeit, Master already told me to beat you all up equally for wasting everyone's time."
Ako's words caused the three young men's faces to pale. They each had that very thought. It was not so much that they were scared of Ako as they only heard that she punched someone and knocked them out but because of the fact that she was related to the other four. They were like little demons who would leave a trail of blood behind them. They were afraid that Ako's inner demon would come out and they would end up like the others.
The three young men put their differences aside as if the next battle decided their fate. After a few minutes of deliberation, they finally made a decision. "We will fight you together!"
"What the hell!? Be a man! Don't pick on the cute slime girl!"
"Yeah, three guys ganging up on a cute slime girl is shameless!"
"Go die! You're making us men look bad! She is just a cute slime girl!"
The spectators all started shouting in anger. They had never seen such shameless men before. They just wanted to gang up on a poor defenseless cute slime girl! Most of the shouting came from the men. Normally things would not be so out of hand, but Ako seemed to have won many of their hearts without even having to do anything.
Up in the sect master area, Kana held her head up high. "My Ako is very cute!" Kana was happy with the reaction of the crowd. Not a single person there seemed to care that Ako was a slime girl, which gave hope to Ako being able to find true love in her future.
Kana wanted Ako to live a fulfilling life and not one bound to being her contracted beast. Kana knew how much she went through since she was young and only wished for pure happiness for Ako. So seeing so many taking a liking to her, she looked on with warmth in her eyes.
As for the three young men, they all wanted to cry. It was not that they did not understand what the people in the stands were saying. It was just that they did not wish to be beaten up in a one versus one. If they can win this fight, then maybe, just maybe, they can move on to the next stage after fighting each other.
"Ignore them and come if you are coming. Or else I will come to you." Ako's voice rang out over the battle stage. She was sick of standing around.
With her voice breaking them out of their thoughts, they three young men drew their swords and charged at Ako. It was just that if they thought beating her in a team was going to be easy, then they were sadly mistaken. Ako only took a step forward and, with her sheathed sword, blocked one attack on her right and kicked out in an arc kicking the other two men in the face and knocking them down. She then used her momentum to twirl around the other one and smacked him in the back of the head with the hilt of her sword, knocking him face first onto the stage.
"Go Cute Slime Girl!"
"Cute Slime Girl!"
"So cool! I want to have your babies~!"
"Have her babies? You're a man!"
Ako almost tripped hearing the strange shouts. Luckily she caught herself and did not fall, or else she would have felt embarrassed. She looked at the three young men who were groaning on stage and found the one that sect master Tian specifically picked out. When she remembered how this young man's family member tried to bully her Master because of him, she decided to dish out some small punishment.
Ten minutes later….
"I choose this one to go to the next round." Ako pointed at the badly beaten young man. Even though she just spent the entire ten minutes beating him up, she decided it was not enough.
Old Wen's eyebrow twitched. He wanted to ask why she was picking on his nephew like this, but he dared not to. Especially after sect master Tian already said she had full rights to decide who gets to pass. Reluctantly he yelled out: "Winner, Ako!"
Ako walked off stage under the cheers of the spectators and walked back over to the waiting area. As soon as she left, The other two young men she did not beat jumped to their feet and hurriedly ran off. They had been playing dead, hoping she would not beat them anymore. Luckily she only beat one of them badly. As for the unlucky young man, he was still lying on the stage, his face black and blue. He began rethinking the things he did in life and decided it might be best to change himself so he would no longer suffer like this in the future.
Up in the sect master seats, the sect master of Moon Crest Academy let out a chuckle. "That girl is getting revenge for the way Old Wen treated you."
Kana shook her head and smiled softly. She knew Ako was doing the extra beating for her. Otherwise, she would have just knocked them all off the battle stage. "She really never changes…. But I guess this is okay too. As long as she is happy."
When Ako returned to the waiting area, she met up with Bell and the others. Bell smiled as she said: "At this rate, Ako, you and Little Ling will meet up pretty soon."
"That is only if I can win my matches…." Mei Ling was unsure if she could win her match or not since she did not know how strong her opponent was.
"Little Aunty Ling, you do not need to worry about that. I do not think there are many here who can defeat you except maybe Aunty Ako. I know I can't" Sara could only sigh. Her Little Aunt was truly strong.
"I agree with Sara, I don't think you will lose to anyone else." Tim also knew that he was no match for his Little Aunt. But he found that to be okay because it gave him the motivation to grow even stronger.
"We will see…" Mei Ling blushed. She was not used to being called Little Aunty.
