The haired youth beamed with a smile when he heard Ivan’s response while the warriors sighed, this kid didn’t know what was good for him.

“He said he isn’t afraid, then I can fight him, right?” The youth looked at the warriors and asked with eagerness.

The warriors stared at each other before silently nodding their heads. Fighting was encouraged between the younger generations as this would awaken their competitive spirit, but that was usually between people of equal standing and strength.

A warrior and a normal human was plain bullying!

Immediately after getting the confirmation from the warriors, the youth dashed toward Ivan, his speed was so fast that he almost looked like a blur. Although he was a newly awakened warrior, he had still awakened his Ki regardless, and his body had been strengthened beyond that of a normal person.

Ivan’s expression didn’t change as he watched the boy approach him; for some reason, he felt incredibly calm, as if he wasn’t facing a threatening opponent.

The youth arrived in front of Ivan and immediately threw out his hand in a fist, Ivan threw his hand as well.

Pah!!

Both fists collided, and both parties stumbled back by several steps, with Ivan taking five more steps than the youth.

A look of shock appeared on the faces of the warriors when they saw this, Ivan had actually traded blows with a warrior!

Nora stared at Ivan with worried eyes. She wanted to ask him to stop, but she realized that he would not listen as long as he wasn’t in the wrong.

Ivan stared at the youth calmly. He could feel pain in his right fist, but it didn’t show in his face; his pain tolerance was incredibly high for some reason, and this amount of pain was negligible.

“I see you have some skills, no wonder you are so arrogant; I’ll make sure to beat that arrogance out of you today!” The youth shouted before sprinting toward Ivan again.

“You talk too much,” Ivan mumbled before dashing forward as well.

Both of them quickly reduced the gap between them to three meters and the youth suddenly jumped, his right leg stretched out as he continued toward Ivan with a flying kick.

Nora closed her eyes in horror; the gap was too small, and she thought that Ivan would be unable to dodge; she was unable to watch the scene of her brother getting hurt, but her ears readied to hear his scream so she could rush up to apologize in his place.

But contrary to her expectations, Ivan’s scream didn’t come; instead, it was the loud groan of the youth that entered her eyes. She opened her eyes and was stunned to see that the youth was lying on the ground with his face glued to the hard ground and blood flowing from his nose.

A few moments ago, when the youth jumped at Ivan with the flying kick, the latter had calmly sidestepped to the side before grabbing the leg of the youth and using the momentum from his jump to turn him in midair and slam him into the ground.

Ivan released his leg and took a step back to analyze the situation and prepare for the youth’s next attack.

The youth quickly stood up after recovering from the pain that had blinded him for a split second.

Aside from the pain from getting slammed into the ground, he felt the stinging burn of embarrassment and shame on his face from the eyes of the onlookers; he was the warrior here but he was the one eating dirt.

His eyes quickly scanned the place and landed on Ivan, he rushed toward him again.

“You bastard!” He roared as he ran toward Ivan.

Ivan welcomed him calmly, he didn’t take a single step from where he was.

“This kid isn’t bad, he looks like he has undergone years of training or months of special training, but his physique doesn’t seem like one,” The red-haired warrior said with a serious expression on his face.

“He might be a natural born fighter; even without awakening Ki, he might be able to become a warrior if injected with an awakening fluid,” The woman amongst them said.

” What do you think we should do then? We can’t such talent go to waste”

” Let’s keep watching first”

Meanwhile, Ivan and the youth exchanged dozens of blows. The sounds of their clash were deafening, and the speed of their hands was beyond what an average person could compare to.

Nora stared at this with wide eyes, unable to believe that this was her brother who was never serious with anything and only knew how to play tricks and cause trouble.

” Was he pretending the whole time?” She couldn’t help but wonder. The current Ivan, who was going toe-to-toe against a warrior, was very different from the one in her memories; he was almost like another person!

Ivan’s face was serious and his eyes were calm as he moved his hands, slapping and punching out as he knocked away or clashed with the youth’s attacks.

His hands felt pain whenever they clashed with the fists of the youth who had his body already enhanced but he didn’t let out a single sound and continued to move with speed.

The latter had an ugly expression on his face as he cursed nonstop, he was very embarrassed and furious the longer the fight lasted.

He could tell that Ivan was now lying about being an ordinary person because his movements were a bit slower than his, but the white-haired bastard was someone able to keep up with every one of his movements by taking advantage of the youth’s excessive movements and lack of control over his strength.

After fighting for so many minutes, Ivan was getting bored and wanted to end things.

At this moment, the youth’s face had become twisted from rage, and he suddenly threw a punch at Ivan’s face while his knee went for the side of Ivan’s waist.

Ivan suddenly moved at this moment, his neck tilted and his legs moved. He backed the youth and allowed his punch to pass the top of his shoulder while Ivan’s back slammed into the front of the youth’s body, he proceeded to grab the arm that was stretched above his shoulder before throwing the youth’s foot with the back of his leg.

The youth’s eyes widened as he suddenly found himself flying in the air over Ivan’s body and his vision rotating.

BAM!

The next thing was a wave of pain that rushed through his body as he was slammed into the ground heavily, his ribs almost cracking.

“Gah!”

The youth let out a pained scream as saliva flew out from his mouth; he lay on the ground and curled his body in pain.

“Stop!”

The voice of the red-haired warrior sounded at this moment as he walked over.

He took a short glance at Ivan before checking on the youth on the ground, he stood up after a while and sighed.

“Nothing aside from his confidence has been damaged, luckily.” He said and suddenly looked at Ivan with sharp eyes.

“You are coming with me, kid; I need to talk to you,” he said strongly.

“No, wait! Please don’t take my brother, he didn’t do anything wrong, it was all my fault” Nora’s panicking voice rang out from the side as she rushed over in her wheelchair, her face filled with nothing but worry.

She reached them and positioned herself between the man and Ivan as she looked at him with seriousness as if ready to shoulder all the blame.

The warrior stared at Nora in surprise for a while before suddenly letting out a laugh, he laughed for a few seconds before calming down and patting Nora’s hair gently.

“It’s all right little girl, nothing will happen to your brother. He’s not in trouble or anything; I actually wanted to talk to him about an opportunity,” He said with a smile.

“Opportunity?” Nora repeated as she and Ivan looked at the man for an explanation.

“Yes, an opportunity. Ever heard of the awakening fluid?”

The man wasn’t the one who replied, it was the woman amongst them as she approached with their other colleague while carrying the youth like a sack of potatoes.

Ivan frowned in confusion when he heard the awakening fluid, but Nora’s eyes widened; she seemed to be aware of what it was.

“This…we’ll have to inform our parents first” Nora hesitated for a few seconds before saying.

“That’s fine too, where are your parents? Let’s go to them now; the sooner, the better,” the red-haired man said in high spirits.

“That…our father is a warrior and left very early; he won’t be back in a few days,” Nora replied.

The eyes of the three warriors lit up when they heard this. So, their father was a warrior, which might explain Ivan’s talent, although partially.

“Then that’s even better, tell me his name,” the red-haired man demanded, and Nora told him their father’s name.

The man raised his wrist and touched the gear in it; he tapped a few times, and a voice suddenly sounded from the gear that looked like a bracelet.

“Hello sir, any orders?” A male voice sounded from the other side.

“Get me in line with…warrior Von”
