Lenny took his fighting stance.

To the untrained eyes, like the gladiators, he was a clown.

Everybody knew that one needed to be aggressive with their weapons in a fight.

E444 turned and looked at the demon instructor. He really felt insulted by this.

The Demon instructor had suddenly become interested in the progression of this fight.

He nodded for E444 to commence the fight.

However, E444 had not gotten himself together well after the signal was given. And he was definitely not expecting Lenny to sprint for him as he did.

Lenny knew that he did not have much strength, and in all honesty, he was not willing to waste more energy or even the low HP that he had.

He placed most of his strength in his legs as he sprinted for E444.

Normally, one would need to go one step at a time to increase speed. Even Olympic runners did not just start at top speed but progressed gradually.

However, Lenny’s was entirely different he’s legs seemed to have immediately dished out the fastest output this body could produce.

This was a technique he had learnt in the other world.

An assassin was one who needed to hit as fast as as possible and escape even faster.

This technique had helped him commit very swift kills and even swifter escapes before.

He was not going to wait for this big guy to crush him like a bug.

Although, this took E444 by surprise, he immediately trusted his spear forward.

He had seen Lenny coming for him in a straight line.

For a Spear user, defining your location was as good as sealing your death.

His Spear went forward with the aim of piecing Lenny’s temple.

The instructor saw this and raised a brow. He was starting to think maybe he was wrong about Lenny.

Even E444 was sure of his kill.

However, the sweet sound accompanied by hitting hard through meat was not heard.

Instead, he over-leaned into his spear.

The Demon instructor had his eyes opened, “After image!?” he thought out loud.

E444 looked around but did not see lenny.

Next, he felt a pushing weight on his spear.

Lenny leaned on the spear for support as he rolled until he got to E444’s face.

the wooden knifes in his hand went for E444’s throat.

However, these were not normal human beings but rather Half borns. He had an advantage that normal humans never had, and this was in all aspects of life.

Also, E444, was experienced in the way of the blade. He instinctively leaned in the opposite direction of Lenny’s wooden knife. 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

And he had done it just in time too.

*slash!*

A small cut appeared on E444’s face.

He immediately created some distance between him and Lenny.

*Silence!*

The Demon Instructor could not believe what had just happened, but neither could anyone. Even Potty was surprised.

In their minds, a lot of things were wrong.

But the Demon Instructor with his knowledge, could see what had happened.

Firstly, Since E444 had struck with his spear, it was easy for his eyes to not get a full grasp of his environment.

Lenny had used this to his advantage by going low. He had taken advantage of his small body size, and this was why E444 had thought maybe he had disappeared.

then, he relied on the Spear to locate E444’s body as he leaned and rotated on the spear. Also gathering momentum in the process.

Even though it was a wooden sword, the accumulated momentum made it a deadly weapon, and that was why it made a slight cut on E444’s skin.

If he had not dodged in time, that broken wooden sword could have burst through his neck.

This was unbelievable. The fight had only begun and death was almost the result.

However, Lenny was not to be blamed for this. He was not of the idea of fighting and parrying attacks like little girls fighting.

Every attack he delivered was always a deadly blow.

He had sharped his skills in such a way that the only thing to expect from them was the death of the opponent.

Just like the two other fights he had engaged in since he came to this world. He had only gone for regions that would effectively cripple his opponents or kill them.

Lenny turned to E444 the broken sword in his hand still had the blood of his opponent.

Just out of curiosity, he licked it. His eyes brightened a bit, “not bad!” he commented as a slight smile stained his lips.

E444 visibly got angry, “I’m going to peel that smile off your face.” He threatened.

Although Lenny was smiling, no one knew more than him about the kind of pain he was going through.

This body was indeed truly weak. This technique he had used was a sure one.

In his mind, E444 should have been bleeding out his life on the ground by now.

Also, he could feel the muscles in his legs and body ache like crazy.

Such a technique had never been performed with this weak body. Surely, they were going to be problems.

He had lost a lot of strength, but he knew that showing his enemy weakness now, was going to spell his end.

He withstood the pain as he could. His knives remained before his face.

One wrong move and he could fall from fatigue, but he held on.

Sometimes, the attitude was more important. After all, he could see the nervousness of E444 from the way he held the spear.

But E444 also maintained his stance. After all, he was the boss here, and others were watching.

Showing fear was going to harm his prestige.

The Demon instructor nodded his head. He had seen enough.

“Stop the match.” he declared loudly.

E444 was surprised at this, but he had no choice but to obey. He turned about was about to return to his training area.

However, Lenny suddenly got an alert from the system.

<Forfeit side quest in 10 seconds>

“Huh!?” Lenny frowned. He knew what that meant. His benefit was about to walk away before his very eyes.

There was no way he would allow this.

He had little to no strength remaining, but he could not lose like this.

He used the same technique again. As he ran, he dropped the wooden knives.

E444 felt someone approaching and turned to his Surprise, it was Lenny.

Lenny jumped and hugged him.

He opened his mouth wide as his teeth went for the most fleshy thing they could find.

With a sadistic look on his face, he dove in.

Behold, he bit off the entire upper lip of E444…
