Chapter 171: Sebastian Vs Kugo
In an instant, Kugo lunged forward—splitting the air with overwhelming force—his strike aimed straight at Al’s exposed back."I don’t give a damn about some baseless rumors about you! Don’t think you’ll walk away alive—die, brat!" he roared.
However—
BRUKK!!
A hand appeared out of nowhere, catching the blow effortlessly with a single palm.
The force dispersed through the air, rippling invisible energy across the room like a vibrating wave.hat cut through the silence.
The statement alone made the Principal, Lefon, and Darius freeze once again in utter shock.
Is he seriously going to cause more trouble? What an idiot! Darius cursed internally.
And without a shred of hesitation, Kugo lunged forward once more.
WOOSHH!
Black and yellow energy erupted from his body, enveloping him like a blazing storm. His hands spread wide open, fingers curled as if ready to crush his prey—a raging tiger preparing to devour a helpless rabbit.
But Sebastian... was not an ordinary man.
He moved as well.
With a motion so smooth it seemed almost effortless, he shifted his step sideways, slipping past Kugo’s left arm, and seized his right arm in a swift, calculated grip.
GRAB!
Kugo’s eyes widened. The movement had looked almost nonchalant, yet his arm was now completely restrained.
His feet pressed against the ground as he channeled strength into his core.
Muscles tensed along his left side as he attempted to swing his free hand, aiming straight for Sebastian’s neck, which was slightly lower than his own.
The pivot of his stance shifted to his waist, his entire force concentrated into his left flank.
But Sebastian’s counter was faster—precisely timed, almost as if he had anticipated every flow of Kugo’s energy and motion before it even happened.
He ducked beneath Kugo’s fist, his body flowing seamlessly like water, and then swept his leg low, targeting Kugo’s now unstable footing.
THUD!
Kugo realized the danger and tried to leap backward, but it was too late.
Sebastian’s grip on his right arm was unyielding—unyielding like steel forged in divine fire. The moment Kugo lost his balance, Sebastian capitalized instantly.
With a powerful twist, he pulled and rotated the man’s arm sharply—
BRAKK!!
Kugo’s entire body was slammed to the floor with brutal precision.
"Arghhh...!" he cried out in pain.
At that very moment, Sebastian released his hold, only to follow up immediately with a kick—one that struck Kugo’s abdomen like a hammer blow, the casual swing of a man kicking a ball across a field.
BAM!
Kugo’s body shot backward, crashing violently into the side wall. The impact was enough to make the air tremble, enough to hurt his body—and even more so, his pride.
The mighty martial artist, humbled—tossed around like a ragdoll by a literature teacher.
BRUGH!!
The crack of the wall echoed sharply, the sound traveling beyond the room. Fortunately, the area was relatively empty at the moment. Any louder, and the commotion would’ve drawn attention from the nearby staff.
Silence filled the space.
The Principal, Lefon, and Darius stood frozen—mouths slightly agape, eyes wide in disbelief.
Sebastian stood tall and unshaken, his posture calm, his breathing even. There was not the faintest hint of strain on his face, as though the entire scuffle had been nothing more than a warm-up stretch.
Meanwhile, Al clapped his hands softly from where he stood—his expression relaxed, eyes gleaming with faint amusement as he observed the exchange with analytical precision.
"Ohoo... what a nice show. Your movements are smoother than before. Haha." His voice echoed playfully in Sebastian’s mind through telepathy.
Sebastian’s lips curved in a faint smile.
"Thank you, Master," he replied telepathically, his tone calm but respectful. "But... what should I do about the aftermath of this incident?"
"Relax," Al answered lazily. "You’re not like me—you’re not under surveillance by the Global Magical Association. Besides, you didn’t even use internal energy."
Sebastian nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.
"Understood, Master."
At the same time, the three men hurried toward Kugo.
"Kugo!" the Principal shouted, his voice trembling slightly.
Kugo was seated on the floor, wincing in pain. His body wasn’t severely injured, but the ache in his muscles and joints was enough to make him grimace.
Who is this man? Kugo thought, his mind racing.
Did he just defeat me... without using internal energy? Since when has there been a martial master in this city? No—no, even across the entire eastern region of Indorosia, I’ve never once heard of a man like him!
His pride burned hotter than the pain itself.
No... it’s not that he’s stronger. I was just careless. I underestimated him. That’s all. There’s no way... no way I’ll let myself be humiliated like this.
Grinding his teeth, Kugo pushed himself up, preparing to attack again.
Sebastian’s expression remained calm—composed yet razor-focused—as he readied himself for the next movement, his stance unwavering.
And amidst that tension, Al quietly watched from afar, a faint smirk curving on his lips as he held a phone to his ear—his calmness contrasting perfectly with the chaos that unfolded before him.
A soft, knowing smile spread across his face.
