The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 48: The Enchantment

In the arena field that is still covered by artificial forest, Nadia had patted her eel several times. He just remembered that one of the ways Ardan defeated the enemy is by provoking emotions and playing with the opponent's mentality.

Supposedly, from the beginning Nadia could be more patient in dealing with the annoying behavior of her cousin.

“Aaakh...! Why do I just remember, anyway?!” Nadia Whinek. “Padahan, have often trained with Bang Ardan and Bang Rafa, but forgot that Bang Ardan likes to pump opponents.”

“Duh, just realized apparently, my sweet sister is.”

Again the two beautiful girls looked towards Ardan who was still standing there relaxed while playing one iron peg, while the other pegs were still loyal on the shoulder.

“Since the beginning, I was deliberately provoking your emotions, Nad. But, not to mention your emotions even make you launch the Power of Resurrection this strong.” Ardan had noticed the view of the artificial forest surrounding them.

Ardan's two silver eyes gave off a sharp lightning as he glanced towards the two. He said, “But, it's okay. What I did and the results obtained are still in accordance with the plan.”

“Uk— Ukhum!”

After Ardan said that, Nadia suddenly coughed. Nadia's head started to feel a bit dizzy and her body was also slightly weakened.

“Nadia?” The chrysanthemum touched Nadia's shoulder, starting to get anxious about the girl's state.

“You're still as careless as ever, Nadia. Your fighting technique has been pretty good, but it is still not enough to be able to paralyze the enemy,” commented Ardan, “You are easy to get emotional. It makes you rash to use the Power of Resurrection. It seems scary when you instantly create an artificial forest in the entire arena. However...”

Ardan grinned, his silver eyes glaring slightly as if increasingly dropping Nadia's mentality through that laughable look.

“.... You're just wasting energy, causing your body to weaken. In the end, all your attacks seem futile.”

Ardan's grin looks even scarier, “You'll just die silly in the middle of the battlefield.”

Damar who saw their conversation on the arena monitor had clenched both hands to vibrate, but again he loosened.

Damar was indeed an emotion when the girl he loved was humiliated in such a way by Ardan. However, Damar is still aware that what Ardan said was a criticism even though the way he delivered seemed annoying.

While Rafa still remains flat, does not respond to anything because he feels the actions and way of fighting Nadia is still bad, too rash, and a waste of energy. So, he just let Ardan criticize Nadia any bike if it still makes sense.

Her stubborn sister still needs a lot to learn.

“Ukh..!”

Chrysanthemum became more worried when he saw Nadia looking down weakly. The blonde girl wasted too much energy in this test due to being provoked by emotions.

However, in Nadia's weakened state, Nadia realized that she must take into account all the possibilities in the fight so that every energy she spent was not in vain.

Nadia's bright blue eyes glanced towards Ardan. He realized that during this time Ardan slightly used the Resurrection Power energy, used various taunts to eliminate the focus of enemy combat, and could take into account the enemy's movements.

Ardan was already strong, his physical strength was beyond doubt. But, as soon as possible the young man exerted less energy so that he did not get tired quickly and was able to last longer in the fight.

Nadia became jealous of Ardan.

He wanted to be like Ardan. However, Nadia knows that everyone has their own characteristics. Ardan who had said amazed by the ability of his late father preferred to be better in his own way.

Just learn, and apply according to the abilities he has.

“Nadia, if you can't do it anymore, you can give up,” chrysanthemum bargain anxious.

Nadia shook her head, raising her palm towards Chrysanthemum, a sign she was reluctant to give up so easily.

The long blonde girl tried to catch her breath, started to stand up straight and showed the people there, especially Ardan, that she could still survive this test.

“No, Kris. As long as I'm still breathing and haven't suffered fatal injuries, I'll still survive.”

Nadia stared back at Ardan, a gaze full of determination and determination to get better.

“Soldiers don't know the word ‘surrender’. All that could make a soldier declared defeated in the battlefield is death.”

Ardan's trivial grin is now replaced with a proud smile too. It didn't matter if there was still no progress on Nadia's fighting prowess. At least, the girl had changed her mindset.

And now, only Chrysanthemums need to be given the facts.

“Krisan.... Your fighting style is pretty good. Without even the Power of Resurrection, you can already overwhelm me enough. Your emotions are even stable, completely unaffected by any ledge.”

Ardan glanced sharply at Chrysanthemum through the silver-eyed tail.

“But, your mind is easily distracted on trivia.”

Chrysanthemum is embarrassed. What Ardan said was true, somehow his focus was lost just because he remembered what he did to Ardan this morning.

Or maybe about Ardan himself. Everything in the orange-haired young man almost made him lose focus, especially when Ardan fadly teased him.

What's up with Chrysanthemum?

In the stands, Rafa narrowed both his blue eyes, confused by what Ardan meant about this Chrysanthemum.

“What does this mean, yak? The feeling, Chrysanthemum was just fighting. Just, it had lost focus, anyway..”.

“A-anu.... That...”

Damar was confused as to what to answer. It seems, Rafa and some of the arena audience here did not hear clearly what Ardan said to make Chrysanthemum lost focus earlier.

But Damar is sure, this must be about Ardan's chest that Chrysanthemum did before.

In the middle of the artificial forest arena, Ardan again continued, “Listen, Sweet. I admit, I like and am interested in you. You also lost focus because you must have been fascinated by me. I'm still pretty sensitive to your guts. You certainly hold an admiration for me, don't you?”

Nadia glared in shock, briefly turning towards Chrysanthemum who had lowered her head with her face covered by a strand of black hair. But, Nadia's eyes shot changed with a nosy smile restrained.

The ships are almost ready to sail.

“Cuman...” Ardan hung the greeting.

Ardan again showed his trademark smile to Chrysanthemum. It seems meaningful, but it shows deep meaning.

“.... In the fight, we must not involve feelings.”

Suddenly Chrysanthemum raised its face, shocked when it heard Ardan's statement. Chrysanthemum did not feel hurt, but he felt even more embarrassed because he only realized that he had involved his admiration in the fight against Ardan himself.

Yes, Chrysanthemum was amazed by Ardan. On the first day alone, Chrysanthemum was amazed by Ardan's personality who was kind, friendly, friendly, but still had a firmness behind his silly nature. And Ardan is also great at fighting.

He has his own charm that can make many people admire him, especially Chrysanthemums.

And Chrysanthemum felt so stupid. His focus was lost only because of his admiration for Ardan, for his nature, his body, his abilities.

How could Chrysanthemum be a great warrior if he still involved feelings in the fight?

“You're right, Senior.”

Chrysanthemum smiled, making both her dark blue eyes narrow, revealing the charm of a Chrysanthemum Ambarwati through her distinctive beauty. A beautiful and cute face with soft yellow skin, blustery ranum lips, and long wavy black hair as beautiful as the night sky.

“We must not involve feelings in a fight. Thank you for reminding me of that one thing, Senior Ardan.”

For a moment Ardan was amazed by the beauty of the girl he had admired since he first saw her. Then, Ardan flashed a faint smile, trying to awaken to the fact he had just told Chrysanthemum.

Just because the girl returned back to reply Ardan with his trademark charm, does not mean Ardan was forced to swallow his own saliva.
