Chapter 98 It's time to end this!
After a few intense matches between the second and third years, it was now finally time for the match which everybody had been anticipating. The match between Jake and Harry and everyone watching, were very excited. Even the Head Generals were now excited about this match up.
"So who do you think will win?" Rowan asked.
"Obviously it's Harry." Gunther replied.
"I was thinking Jake will win." Rowan said.
"Pfft. What on Earth will make you think that?" Gunther said.
"We all saw what Jake did in the knockout stages." Rowan said.
"Just because someone knockout five weak second years, doesn't mean he can defeat a third year. And Harry Is not an ordinary third year." Gunther said. "Or do you want me to remind you who he is?"
"In case you have forgotten, let me remind you." Gunther said. "There are five strong independent Guilds that have the potential of joining the Big three table or rivalling them if they come together which they can't because of their differences. And Harry along with Sebastian are the children of the leader of the second most strongest independent Guild."
"Now tell me, how do you think a no name like Jake could defeat Harry?"
"I think the young boy is going to surprise you all more than you think." Humfree said stroking his beard which was a habit of his.
"Meaning?" Gunther raised an eyebrow.
Humfree just chuckled. "How about a friendly bet among us three about who would win."
Gunther and Rowan's mouth were now wide agape. "Are you alright? Did you hit your head on something or what?"
Humfree just chuckled again. "It's just a friendly bet nothing else."
"Well, I'm in." Gunther said. "5000 credits on Harry to finish him off quickly."
"3000 credits for Harry to defeat Jake but Jake will last a little more longer." Rowan said.
Humfree just chuckled again. "10,000 credits on Jake winning this match."
Gunther and Rowan's eyes were now widened in surprise. "What are you planning old man?"
'Betting 10,000 credits on Jake winning was no small money. 10,000 credits is equivalent to a King tier beast crystal which is the second to strongest beast that has been discovered or it's equivalent to 10 advanced tier crystals.' Gunther thought.
'So why is he betting so much on Jake like that? Did he see something aside Jake beating up five people that we didn't? Whatever the case it is, I'm sure that Harry will make quick work of him.'
With the bets placed, there was no more arguments or discussions for the match between Jake and Harry was starting now.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Jake stood opposite Harry in a battle stance while Harry just stood there calmly with his hands crossed around his chest waiting for the match to begin.
And then, the warhorn sounded signalling the start of the match and everyone were watching the match intently.
Immediately the match started, Jake dashed towards Harry with incredible speed that it was like Jake teleported from one place to another that was how fast Jake ran to get to Harry's position in a blink of an eye.
Then Jake swung his sword from above towards Harry's head but he quickly used his own sword to block. What Harry didn't expect was the strength behind the strike which almost made Harry tumble to the ground but he quickly used Qi to strengthen his hands and managed to push Jake away.
'What kind of monstrous strength does this guy have? Is that his real strength or is he strengthening his hands with Qi?' Harry thought.
Jake didn't give Harry time to formulate a plan as he quickly ran forward again then when he was at Harry's position, he threw a roundhouse kick towards Harry's face but Harry quickly ducked avoiding it then Harry rolled over forward and then quickly stood up and unleashed a flurry of kick towards Jake's face.
But Jake was doing well blocking his vitals from the hits. Once a while, the kick was connecting with his body. 'Shit! This feels a lot like when we fought back then at the assembly hall with him overpowering me.' Jake thought.
In order to get a breathing space which Harry wasn't giving him enough of, Jake quickly activated Stun strike to make him pause for a second which was more than enough for Jake to quickly use. Triple Threat technique to get behind Harry.
Then Jake quickly threw a strong axe kick towards Harry's head that connected successfully after Harry managed to free himself from the Stun strike effect and then he felt his head smashing to the ground hard.
When Harry lifted his head back up, his face was met with a kick that sent his head flinging backwards and he fell on the floor. Then Jake walked towards him slowly but all of a sudden, Jake stopped dead in his tracks.
His feet were not responding to him making him not move even one bit. Looking up at Harry, he could see him standing up with a trickle of blood dripping down his head from the earlier hit.
"This, Is the difference between us third year students and you second year students. You have only been taught the two stages of Qi whereas, we have been taught the three stages." Harry smiled.
"Honestly, I don't know why does din don fools, lost to some of you. They had the three stages of Qi but they chose not to use it. They purely wanted to use their silly skills and thus, they underestimated you all. But I won't make the same mistake as them, I'm gonna use everything I got to take you down!"
Harry dashed towards Jake with incredible speed that in a moment, he was in front of Jake and then he swung his sword at Jake's stomach with all his strength that it made Jake fly back. When Jake managed to stand up, he noticed that his armour had all broken and fell off his body therefore leaving him with his sword, gauntlet and boot.
Looking up, Harry was already in front of him with a swing from above but quickly acting fast, Jake activated Step shift and suddenly he was two metres away from Harry who just swung his sword and noticed it struck air.
Everyone were pleasantly surprised wondering how Jake managed to get away. Some people in the crowd dismissed it as a skill possibly taught to the students at the academy.
But the academy including the Head Generals knew that hadn't taught any students this skill for they themselves know nothing about it so they dismissed it as Jake learning it on his own.
But someone else hadn't dismissed it because he knew what it was. "That was the skill the wolf hunter used in the game." Jim said quietly having recognizing the skill.
"The wolf hunter used a skill that belonged to the powers of the orb but that skill was weak whereas this one has become stronger."
"Hold on, I knew that the kid with the orb was in this academy that's why I disguised myself and came here and I found out he was playing the game. It can't be a coincidence that this kid and the wolf hunter are using the same skill which means that Jake is the wolf hunter and the kid with the orb I have been looking for."
Jim was now smiling. 'I have finally completed my mission. And with me knowing what you look like, you can't escape from me.'
Even Jake friends had recognized the skill he used. "I guess he's going all out against Harry and since he's going all out, that means Harry doesn't stand a chance." Peter said which caused Sebastian to laugh out loud.
"You seriously think my brother is gonna lose just because your friend managed to avoid the strike coming from Harry." Sebastian laughed again.
This laughter or mockery didn't make Jake's friends laugh or anything, rather they laughed back at Sebastian.
"Do you remember when we said we were attacked by members of the Iron Fist Guild?" Peter asked.
"And so?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow.
"Well, one of them was a C rank adventurer and Jake managed to defeat him." Peter smiled.
"So tell me, who is stronger between your brother and a C rank adventurer?" Peter now turned back to watch the fight.
But what he said got Sebastian thinking. 'Did Jake really do that? Did he really defeat a C rank adventurer? But how? Nah, stop overthinking Sebastian, it's not possible. They might just be hyping their friend nothing else. Even Harry will struggle against a C rank adventurer.'
'They might have defeated the C rank adventurer together. Harry has nothing to worry about and he's not going to lose.' Sebastian thought as he watched what will happen next.
Meanwhile, after using the Step shift, Jake was now two metres away from Harry then he activated Melee combat, Frenzy strike and lockdown skills together.
"It's time to end this now." Jake said as he used Step shift again to get in front of Harry…
