The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 45: The Hero of the Later

Nadia and Chrysanthemum walked together into the arena field. Steadily Nadia pointed at Ardan, trying to challenge him.

“Hah! You think you can breathe a sigh of relief after taking out all your juniors?” Nadia nodded casually. “Come.... There are still two more heroes who have not shown their fangs. As the saying goes; heroes always come later.”

Damar and Rafa watched with flat expressions, feeling ashamed of themselves seeing Nadia's confidence that was beyond bounds and reason.

“Where is the saying say kayak like that?” Next to Damar's eyebrows twitch.

“Not to think about. My sister has her brain rada-rada—. Yep.... Tins-rada.” Even Rafa was at a loss for words.

Ardan also put on a flat expression in response to Nadia's defiant remark. It was like being faced with a kid who was acting like a hotshot.

“Not him who came later was regret?”

Nadia dodged Ardan's remarks, “Ya! The regret! Regret because you'll regret having challenged me!”

“You came against me, Nad.”

“Hah! Don't dodge you, Rambutan Maggots! I'm not senile!”

“Who said you were senile?!”

“It! Just said you were senile!”

Damar, Rafa, the staff, and some of the Taruna-Tarunis get confused themselves seeing the strange interaction between Ardan and Nadia, like seeing a mentally ill person fighting a bacot.

The chrysanthemum briefly looked around, realizing that the people watching them were starting to feel strange themselves. Wanting to stop the inconsequential debate between Nadia and Ardan, Chrysanthemum decided to talk.

“There are no specific rules about when we will attack, right?”

The quarrel of the two instantly came to a halt upon hearing Chrysanthemum's flat speech.

“That's why, we decided to take a turn later,” continued Chrysan.

Nadia was standing straight, holding her hands against her chest. “Yes, my friend is right. We are present lately because this is part of the.” strategy

Ardan rolled his silver eyes, increasingly lazy to respond to the strange words of Nadia. “Yes.... There is no rule when you attack me, want to take turns, later, or play a game. Just be free.”

Unexpectedly, Ardan obliterated his spear into pieces of ash. Of course it feels strange in the eyes of Chrysanthemum and Nadia, because soon they will fight. Supposedly, Ardan could still use those Resurrection Weapons.

“Because of the latter I fought against two female juniors, it seems like I don't need to use any weapons.” Ardan starts to underestimate, “The girl is ‘kan weaker than the guy. As a guy, I can't be rough dong same chick.”

Hearing Ardan's words did not necessarily make Chrysanthemum emotional. The long black-haired girl remained silent, without any response.

In the pure mind of Chrysanthemums, Ardan probably meant other women. Chrysanthemum did not feel offended at all, because he considered himself not part of the woman that Ardan meant.

So, what is the emotion chrysanthemum for?

Perhaps because of the excessive innocence of Chrysanthemums, all satire, sarcasm, even blasphemy will not work on him.

It is different with Nadia. An imaginary crossing appeared around her blonde head, a sign that she was angry at the words of Ardan who was felt to offend her pride as a woman.

“Arkh! You can't insult a girl's dignity! We can also be stronger than guys!” nadia was not accepting.

“Lho? Who is insulting the dignity of women?” In the style of a gentle man, Ardan said, “I ‘kan just said that I don't want to be rude with girls. That's why I don't use guns anymore.”

“That means, you underestimated us! Just now you fought another junior girl, still using a gun, kok!”

“Lha? That's ‘kannya same boy junior-junior. While in front of me this ‘kan is two unyu girls. Moreover, you are my cousin, and there is my crush there too.”

Chrysanthemums still seem flat, although in the heart it has begun to be recognized as Ardan gebetan.

“Ish! I can't accept you underestimating us so!” nadia shouted more and more emotionally.

Ardan breathed a moment. “OK.... That's so..”.

Ardan reached out with one hand, twitching his two fingers, giving the cues for the two girls to approach him.

“Show me you girls can face me.” Ardan smiled faintly, winking one eye.

“Aaargh!”

Enough with Ardan's backlash and temptation, Nadia was already furious because her emotions were fishing too far. Therefore, Nadia ran fast towards Ardan, preparing to attack the young man.

“Kok can Nadia up to the emotion so?” chrysanthemum muttered, then ran after Nadia, ready to attack Ardan as well.

Nadia ran fast, getting closer to Ardan and started to launch a fist strike.

One fist Nadia successfully launched. Quickly, Ardan held the fist using one wrist. However, it was unexpected that Nadia's fist attack was stronger than the previous junior attacks, making Ardan's wrist feel a little numb due to Nadia's attack.

After one fist had been launched as the opening, Nadia again gave various fist attacks towards Ardan so quickly. Ardan was no less quick to dismiss all Nadia's fists.

Not only Nadia, Chrysanthemum also gave an empty-handed attack towards Ardan next to Nadia. Both of them attacked fast, and Ardan was equally quick to dismiss all of their attacks.

From this, Ardan began to conclude that these two girls had different attack styles. Ardan was used to all the powerful attacks Nadia had launched. However, Ardan instead felt strange with all the Chrysanthemum attacks.

Chrysanthemum attacks are very mild, too easy to avoid.

Even from the facial expressions of the two, Chrysanthemum was much flatter than Nadia who attacked with all emotions.

Ardan was uncomfortable with the Chrysanthemum response. It is precisely fighters like this Chrysanthemum that should be watched out.

When Nadia again launched a fist attack as powerful as the first fist, Ardan managed to catch Nadia's wrist, grab her small shoulder, then bring Nadia's body spinning.

“Krisaaan..!”

Ardan twisted Nadia's body until the girl's leg almost kicked Chrysanthemum. Luckily, Chrysanthemum was able to dodge by turning to the side.

After simply twisting Nadia's body, Ardan threw away the girl's body. Because Nadia's reflexes are good enough, she spins in the air and lands well on the floor, then runs back to Ardan.

This time, it was Chrysanthemum's turn against Ardan. Several times Chrysanthemums gave various attacks, ranging from slaps to kicks, but everything was still averted Ardan.

“Is that how you are?”

Chrysanthemum did not respond. The black-haired girl instead leaped up Ardan with her head and hands down and feet up.

Ardan slightly widened when he noticed the Chrysanthemum movement on it. Both Chrysanthemum hands were about to grab Ardan's head.

“Aircraft.”

Ardan's reflex shifted his head and shoulders, making both Chrysanthemum hands fail to grab Ardan's head. The girl finally landed behind Ardan, immediately turning around with one leg kicking Ardan's leg. Again Ardan was able to avoid the kick.

“Ah...! I understand the girl's strategy,” muttered Rafa still saw the fight on the stands.

Hearing Rafa muttering, Damar asked, “What strategy?”

“The girl named Chrysanthemum. From the initial movements, he did not appear to have a fighting spirit. All his attacks are too easily avoided.”

Damar tried to remember the opening fight. It is true, compared to Nadia, Chrysanthemum looks too relaxed to fight.

Rafa analyzes, “All he does is just to outwit. Or rather, try to figure out Ardan's fighting style and points of weakness. When it arrives at the right moment, such as when Chrysanthemum jumps and is about to grab Ardan's head, he will expend all his energy to paralyze Ardan.”

“Niat originally wanted to bang Ardan's head down. But luckily, Ardan realized the tactic, so he could dodge.” Rafa leaned her body on the back of the chair. “If only the head hit, at least a light brain concussion ‘lah him.”

“Ish...”.

Damar grimaced to hear it. Unexpectedly, the Chrysanthemum girl could have such a fighting style.

In addition, Damar was also surprised by the expression of Rafa who looked relaxed analyzing the possibility of his cousin would be hit by a mild brain concussion.

How could Rafa respond that relaxed?

Damar nodded realizing something. Supposedly, he was not surprised to see Rafa was not worried about Ardan. I don't know what kind of demonic training Ardan and Rafa often do when they train together at the Novan Family residence.

In addition, Grim also took the time to train them in free time. So, no wonder if the exercises they do are very hard. Even Damar had heard the story from Nadia that Ardan and Rafa often suffered fractures, vomiting blood, and even hallucinated due to various violent collisions in the head.

Really horrible....

“I'll beat you, Bang Ardan!”

On the other hand, Ardan realized Nadia's figure was running fast towards him, starting to dart with a fist ready to be aimed at him. Coincidentally, Chrysanthemum is launching several more attacks on Ardan.

On the next Chrysanthemum attack, Ardan grabbed the Chrysanthemum hand, twisting it.

“Ukh!” The chrysanthemum grimaced a little.

Then, Ardan turned the Chrysanthemum's body to be in a position behind him. He locks the wrist and neck of the Chrysanthemum, making the girl's body a shield.

“Wo— woaaaaa!!”

Realizing that the friend was used as a shield to protect Ardan from his fists, Nadia lost focus. Nadia tried to stop darting, but could not. As a result, Nadia's body was able to make one fist miss and even hit the floor beside their back to create a crater.
