The dragon's harem

Arad lifted a hand, deflecting a sword slash, and grabbed the guy by the face then threw him away. At the same time, several other students rushed in, the ones with spears trying to pierce Arad’s back.

He spun his torso and diverged the spears the moment they touched him, using that momentum to swing a kick, knocking the spears out of the student’s hands.

Impossible, how could he move like this? One of the students gasped, feeling a sharp pain shot from his wrist as he lost his spear. Here he comes again with his weird moves…He could see Arad catch one of the spears with his toes before they hit the ground and then swung back at their faces. CLANG! A girl rushed in with a war axe and blocked the spear, staring at Arad with a sharp glare. “You move like a monster.”

“You’re fighting a monster.” Arad replied as he pushed on the ground with his hand and started spinning as if he was breakdancing, swinging the spear and kicking at the girl’s face.

One attack after another, she deflected them with her axe.

SWOSH! Another student threw his halberd at Arad trying to distract him.

Arad stopped kicking the girl and deflected the halberd with a kick, but that girl used that opening to catch Arad’s spear and started twisting it, trying to break out of his hold. “I break those toes.”

CRACK! The spear broke in half, and the one-inch thick shaft of hardened wood shattered as he clenched his toes.

He wasn’t going all out? She gasped, a kick smacking directly in her face. She didn’t expect Arad to brute force himself out of that.

Arad blinked, seeing her grab his ankle with a smile on her face as blood rushed down her nose. “Got you!” Her eyes turned red as she roared, veins bulging on her whole body. She was a barbarian and had just started raging.

Using Arad’s leg as leverage, she wrapped her thighs around his knee and sat on his thigh, clenching two fists and hammered his face with a barrage of punches.

All of the remaining students rushed in, [Bolg] The spearmen growled, ready for their unique thrust.

[Action Surge] The fighters pulled their swords back, including the teacher Edward, they all forgot this was training. They had been fighting Arad for so long, their senses had been dulled by pain and exhaustion that the only thing they could think of now was killing this monster ahead of them.

The arches, hammer users, martial artists, everyone jumped in, trying to kill Arad with their best move.

The barbarian girl’s eyes opened wide as she saw Arad’s eyes spasm, looking everywhere in a fraction of a second.

Wait…his perception is far faster than us…she started to realize the difference between them and Arad. They could all charge at once, and use their best moves, but they are just…

Arad stomped down with the foot that the barbarian latched onto, shocking her whole body as the ground shook, and the students charging in lost their footing for a second.

Arad grabbed the barbarian by her hair and started swinging her around like a stone on a rope, smacking everyone with her and making sure they dropped their weapons away from their bodies so they didn’t get stabbed.

The barbarian girl gasped as Arad smacked her on the ground, but she was still awake, she quickly stabbed her toes in the dirt and tried to pull away from Arad, get her hair out of his hand.

Seeing that she couldn’t beat him in a tug of war, she grabbed a sword from the ground to cut her hair, but before she could do that, Arad let go of her hair.

She stumbled back, confused.

“What?”

Thud! But at that moment, Arad was standing right in her face, her nose just an inch away from his chest. It never felt as if she was fighting a man, he was more of a monster in her eyes, a large and fast beast that can’t be stopped.

She’s a barbarian; usually, they are only familiar with clubs and sometimes learn how to use heavy weapons, a long sword felt strange in her hand. She doesn’t know how to swing it. But, a barbarian is a barbarian, and a sword is just a sharp metal stick.

She swung at Arad, but he instantly swung his forearm, hitting the blade’s flat side and shattering it.

Out of the shadows, a man showed up swinging a ninjato at Arad’s back.

Arad rapidly turned back, kicked the barbarian girl back, and caught the blade with his bare hands, a smile on his face. “Wasting a valuable sneak attack? Why didn’t you for my heart or neck?”

The man started shaking but clenched his teeth and growled, trying to pull the sword out of Arad’s hand and slice his fingers. The ninjato didn’t budge, and Arad giggled.

“If you held a blade from the flat side with enough pressure, it won’t slide and cut your hand.” He lifted his thumb and pressed it on the flat of the blade. “And most swords are designed to withstand pressure on the edge, not from the side.” Arad snapped the sword’s tip with his thumb. “They are quite easy to break like this.” He went down the sword, cutting piece by piece as if it was a box cutter.

SMACK! Arad punched the assassin away and looked at everyone as they rolled on the ground, growling in pain. “Well, this looks to be enough for today.”

“What the hell happened here?” Eris gasped as she arrived with Lydia and the rest of the holy class.

“Thanks for coming,” Merida approached them. “I didn’t expect you to come this quickly.”

“We weren’t going to come when you called, but then we saw Aron beating the living hell out of them out of the window and had to come.” Lydia replied with a worried face as she looked at everyone.

A nun approached Arad, “You’re sir Aron?” She looked at him with a smile. “My Amaterasu bless your soul, so many hurt children.” She looked at the knocked student.

“Better beaten here than against monsters alone in the forest.” He turned toward them. “Stand up. I don’t care if you have broken bones or are dying. Walk toward here so the healers can heal you. Winning a fight is never the end; you still have to crawl to safety.”

All the martial students started moving, some crawled, some walked, and others could only roll. Even the teacher Edward had taken a hard beating, but he still helped other students walk.

“This is just cruel.” The nun looked at Arad.

“You test them to see if they can fight monsters, and then provide no training on how real fights are. I don’t know how you intend for them to survive in the wild if they can’t bear the pain of a stab or a broken rib.” He stared at her.

“They can slowly train; they are still young and have a long school life ahead of them.” The nun replied.

Arad stared at her, confused. “Young? I see no children around here, only men and women who should be able to defend themselves.”

“This is a school, a place to learn, not for them to risk their lives.” The nun replied with a passive face.

“And yet they were tested to see how well they can do against monsters.” Arad replied passively, “You know it. They can’t survive this world without having a backbone to stand and defend themselves against monsters.”

“Weakness isn’t a sin, it’s normal, not all people need to be powerful enough to kill monsters. To each their role.” She added, taking a step toward Arad.

“Weakness isn’t a sin, I agree with that. But being a burden is, if they can’t fight, they should at least learn how to survive, how to run, and how to support those who can fight.” He turned toward the martial students, “But those are martial students, they’ll be fighters in the future. Even if not everyone needs to fight, they are the ones needing to fight.”

The nun smiled, “Lydia and Eris were right; You’re a natural-

born warrior. You remind me of a sinner, the man called Alcott. The world needs people like you, the braves who don’t mind becoming the monsters who kill other monsters.”

Merida walked between Arad and the nun, “Move away, it’s my turn to train with him.”

The nun looked at her and smiled. “I see, have a nice time.” The nun’s golden glowing eyes took a hint of pink as she glared back at Arad. “If he’s too much to handle, call me and I’ll give tie him for you.”

Merida sighed, “Eris! Lydia! I’m going to fight Aron so keep everyone away.”

“Got it!” Eris replied and Lydia gave her a thumbs up.

When Merida turned toward Arad, she noticed he was still staring at the nun with glowing purple eyes. “Hoi! What are you thinking about!” She gasped.

“For a moment, she smelled sweet…I want to punch her in the face and see what she’s hiding.” He mumbled.

His left hand moved, punching him in the face. ^[Wake up, idiot. That’s a succubus and a high priestess of Gracie at that. People can believe in more than one god, simply because the gods are on good terms, Gracie and Amaterasu are especially close.]^

Arad shook his head, “Sorry,” He looked at Merida, “That isn’t a mere nun. Doma says she’s a high priestess of Gracie.”

“That can’t be, she’s just a nun of Amaterasu…” Merida stared at the nun’s back.

The nun looked back at them, licking her lips as her eyes emitted a faint pink glow.

Arad could feel her breath on his ear as he heard a faint whisper, =Little boy, be careful out there. There is a lot of competition, but I’m the one going to eat you.=
