The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 87 - Ahh! This is Bad!

Souta was stepping through the air using the combat art [Air Walk]. His speed was so fast that he could barely hear Lynn, who was screaming, from his arms.

Lynn didnʼt expect this development at all. She thought that they were just going to the other classes in a normal way, not this one.

Swoosh!!

Souta finally saw the campsite of a certain class. He saw the red flag of that class in the center area of the campsite.

He bent his knees and stepped into the air.

Boom!

He launched himself towards the campsite with a speed greater than before. Before he crashed on the ground, he released Lynn from his arms and casted [Shadow Bind] to catch her.

”Ahh!!” Lynn fell down fifteen meters above the ground but before she reached the ground, the shadows on the ground burst out and caught her.

”Hu~ Iʼm safe.” Lynn was about to complain when she heard a loud booming sound. She turned her head and saw that Souta crashed at the campsite of this class.

The shadows that were around her slowly disappeared.

Thud!

”Ouch!” Lynn fell down on her butt. She doesnʼt have time to worry about this as she stood up and patted the dust on her clothes.

She looked around and saw a few familiar faces. She saw Brando the strongest shielder in the whole first year. It means that she was at the campsite of the Shield Class 1-A.

...

Souta looked at everyone from the Shield Class 1-A and grinned widely.

”Iʼm sorry Brando. Iʼm going to snatch your class red flag.” He said.

”Itʼs not going to be that easy, Souta,” Brando replied as he activated his [Shielderʼs Aura].

Brandoʼs classmates too prepared themselves for the worse outcome. Thereʼs no one among their class who didnʼt know Souta. Souta was the one who won in the mini-tournament before, trampling their whole class even with a handicap.

”Let me see the power of your class.”

They subconsciously took a step back as Souta lifted his foot and gently stepped forward. Then, Soutaʼs mana flared up and at the same time, hundreds of shadows burst out of the ground.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The students of the Shield Class 1-A jumped as the shadows chased them. They waved their shields on the shadows.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Some of the students managed to repel the shadows but some werenʼt.

Brando looked around and shouted, ”Ashley, Crane, Freddy, come with me! We will stop Souta! Iʼll leave the others to you, Jake!”

He then rushed towards Souta with a serious expression on his face. He knew it. He knew that Souta was stronger than him. He knew it more than anyone else. But he still needed to Souta from capturing their red flag.

”Souta!!” Brando charged forward and used [Shield Bash].

”Entertain me, Brando,” Souta said with a smirk on his face. Brandoʼs shield zooms the distance between them in an instant.

When the shield was about to hit Souta, Souta vanished and the shield only hit the air.

Brando quickly looked around and saw Souta ten meters away from him.

Souta smiled and said, ”The spell [Agility Boost] and the combat arts [Catʼs Speed] are both skills that can increase a personʼs speed. If I combine these two with [Dash] then...”

Swoosh!!

Brando was stunned as he found Souta appeared in front of him. He wanted to raise his shield but he was too late.

A fist crashed into his cheeks.

Bang!!

Brando flew five meters away. He twisted his body in the air and landed on the ground safely. He looked up and saw that Souta chased after him.

Souta was about to punch Brando when he saw a small round shield flew in the air. It flew straight towards him.

Souta moved his body sideways and the small round shield passed beside him.

Swoosh!!

”That was close,” Souta said with a smile.

He looked ahead and saw a man with a huge build. The man had messy green hair and green pupils. Souta knew that he was the one who threw that small round shield. He was Freddy, one of the strongest students of Shield Class 1-A.

Souta aimed his palm at Freddy and casted [Shadow Ball].

Swoosh!!

A shadow flashed above him. It was Ashley of the Shield Class 1-A. She was a tall woman with dark skin. She was holding a shield that was half of her size.

Souta looked up and saw her shield emitted a green light. A giant green shield materializes in front of her.

[Defensive Strike]!!

Souta quickly bent his knees and jumped backward to avoid the giant energy shield. It was then that he noticed a strong beside him. He followed it and found that the string was attached to the small round shield before.

”You canʼt avoid this.” Freddy smiled and he pulled the string.

Swoosh!!

The shield flew back to Souta with speed greater than before.

”Really, what a teamwork.” Souta smiled and when the two attacks were about to smash him he suddenly disappeared.

Boom!!

Ashley, Fred, and Brando were stunned when they saw this. They didnʼt see Souta move at all. It was impossible that they didnʼt even see his figure blur. It was like a bubble that vanished into thin air.

Bang!!

Fred felt a pain in his back. Someone just smashed his back. He turned his head and saw Souta behind him.

”I see...” He muttered before he flew away and crashed in the tree.

Bang!!

”Fred!!” Brando and Ashley shouted at the same time.

Souta smiled at the two. He then heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw a man larger than Brando. He was Crane, the second most powerful man in the Shield Class 1-A.

”Okay, let me test something on you.”

Souta said as he activated the [Triple Muscle Strengthening] skill. He could feel that his muscles grow tougher and stronger.

Crane charged towards Souta with his shield.

Souta stood on his position and he slowly pulled back his hand. He clenched his fist tightly and waited for Crane.

Swoosh!!

Crane swung his shield when he arrived in front of Souta. And Souta responded by throwing his fist.

Boom!!

A loud sound echoed in the whole area as a gust of wind swept out in the surroundings.

Souta was pushed back five meters away. He felt a numbling sensation on his fist.

Craneʼs shield has formed a dent on its surface.

”That hurts,” Souta said as he opened and closed his palm. He then turned his head and saw that every student of the Shield Class 1-A was around him.

”Hmm... This is getting good.”

Souta squatted down and placed his palm on the surface of the ground. He lifted up his head and said, ”Donʼt blame me.”

Swoosh!!

Swoosh!!

Swoosh!!

Countless spikes that were made of shadows burst out of the ground. It first appeared beside Souta then it spread quickly.

The student of the Shield Class 1-A immediately jumped away when they saw the spikes.

But...

Something grabbed their foot. It was the [Shadow Bind] spell.

”Ah!!” The students screamed as the spike pierced their bodies.

Putchi!

Putchi!

Putchi!

Souta then launched himself towards the students who managed to escape from his attack.

His schoolmates were still alive. He wouldnʼt kill them in Institute property or else he would face severe punishment for killing his schoolmates. If he was going to kill someone, he would do it outside of the institute or city.

He didnʼt pierce their vitals parts.

Souta fought the remaining students with his bare hands. He didnʼt even cast a spell this time to help him. He wanted to test how far he could do with only his physical ability.

He moved his body swiftly and he threw powerful punches to the students of the Shield Class. He had great confidence in his physical ability, so he didnʼt back down at all in close range combat against the Shield Class.

The Shield Class, who boasted to have the toughest body in class, even took great damage from Soutaʼs punches.

...

After a few minutes, Souta was the only one who was standing at the campsite of the Shield Class 1-A.

The students of the Shield Class were all lying around the place. They were either couldnʼt move or unconscious.

”Argh!” Brando tried to move his body but unfortunately, he couldnʼt. He felt great pain all over his body.

”Heʼs so strong...” Ashley lifted up her head and saw Soutaʼs figure before she loses her consciousness.

Souta was in the center of the campsite holding the red flag of the Shield Class 1-A.

Blood flows down from his mouth. He lifted up his hand and wiped it out. He turned his head and looked at Lynn.

”One red flag acquired.” He said as he smiled at her.

Lynnʼs cheeks turned red when she saw his smile. She turned around and held her cheeks with both of her hands.

ʼAhhh! This is bad! He is so cool!ʼ
