Everything will be my way!

Chapter 84

Kyon went to the middle of the training ground and took out a handful of various items and stones with a protective formation inside: shields, rings, bracelets, nephrites and many more. Funny thing, he was holding a fortune in his hands…

He sent Synergy to the cluster of neural connections in his brain to master the element of light. He intended to do it in an hour as he knew his way around. It wasn’t going to take him long to decode the information… He had already mastered darkness, light was just its opposite.

From the first day he appeared in this world, Kyon noticed that Synergy, even being at odds with the environment, was a kind of cheat that gave him an extraordinary advantage. His ability to clean the channels alone was worth a lot! And the potential to master all the elements! Heaven didn’t look kindly on this anomaly. That’s why it cast the bolts of lightning to destroy the mediocrity who wanted to deceive his fate.

Synergy had thoroughly studied the neurons of the element of light and initiated the analysis.

All of a sudden, thick heavy clouds covered the clear night sky. The humid air filled with the smell of rain and ozone. The atmosphere saturated with unprecedented absolute power. A strong wind rose. It was hard to breathe…

Kyon looked carefully up at the sky. The signs of the impending lightning were appearing too fast. It means, he was doing it in the right way, in great strides.

He activated the protective nephrites with pure energy. Shields started forming above his head. The barrier of air, water dome, air dome, and other barriers…

Kyon didn’t want to waste too many protective formations. He might need them in the future. However, his life was at stake. He couldn’t be too careful. He continued activating formations, looking at the sky to assess the power of the lightning. He remembered perfectly well the way it happened last time: moderately thick clouds, a faint tension in the air, the barrier of the mansion intact. The second lightning had caused more intense energy in the atmosphere: it broke the barrier, and Kyon barely survived. And now the third lightning was coming. Something was telling him, it was going to be ten times more powerful than the previous times.

Kyon activated some more defensive stones and continued exploring the element. Finally… He had found the lead… The irreversible process started after which all his neural connections would make sense. He was about to master the element!

Kyon glanced at the sky again and turned pale. The black clouds lit up all at once as if focusing all their energy into a flash of single lightning. It was going to be much more powerful than he had imagined. A few dozens of times more powerful!

{Shit!} – With no hesitation, Kyon activated every last one defensive formation. Different barriers began to appear one after another: stone, ether, water, and even ice. Everything he had in store.

He heard a familiar sound that meant he had reached the enlightenment, and right then, huge lightning of divine justice aimed at him.

*KABOOM*

A bolt of lightning of an unprecedented size easily broke through the barrier of the mansion and went through three stone barriers, turning them into a pile of rubble. The water barriers scattered across the place with hissing spray. The dense air dome was surprisingly effective. The last barriers of ether burst one after another under the incredibly powerful thrust.

It all happened in an instant. Kyon thought he would die, but only a tiny part of the previous lightning got to him. His own insulation barrier had successfully saved him, averting the danger.

The loud echo of the storm went through the mansion several times. It was so deafening that half of the inhabitants woke up in a terrible fright.

Kyon fell to his knees and laughed with relief, looking at the sky. It worked! He was now the master of four elements! He was one of the greatest geniuses that were appreciated in any family. His future was full of promise. Well, at least his ego had calmed down a bit. And yet, the pungent envy of heavenly geniuses (masters of 5 elements) still bothered him.

Kyon came to his senses and hid all the (now absolutely useless) items in the ring. Then he leaned against the nearest wall and pretended to be frightened and shocked.

When the maids and the guards entered the training ground, they saw the stones from the earthen barrier scattered throughout the site and a slowly restoring protective barrier of the mansion.

Dinah walked around the perimeter, totally ignoring the existence of the short-haired servant. She concluded:

«Hmm… It doesn’t look like an invasion, but it’s too huge for a natural phenomenon, either. The lightning shouldn’t break through our barrier.» – She cast a severe look at the guard. – «Check the generator.»

The second guard cleared his throat and said respectfully:

«It isn’t the first lightning this week, Ms. Dinah… What if there is more?»

The girl raised her graceful eyebrows. {Twice in a row? That’s a strange coincidence. I don’t think it was a powerful practitioner trying to break in. The attempt would have been successful the first time… Should I report it to the patriarch?} – Dinah thought it over and decided that Bai should not be bothered about small matters. He had enough trouble being the head of the family.

Dinah resolutely turned around and went to the exit, giving the order to the guards:

«Return to your duty post.»

The guards obeyed at once. Anna made sure that her sister had left. She ran her fingers through her hair and walked gracefully to the shocked servant. She would never suspect that the powerful lightning could be connected with him.

«What are you doing here, boy? What happened? Why are you awake at this late hour?» – She asked, worried.

Kyon swallowed, pretending to suppress his fear. Finally, he ventured to take a look at the gorgeous blonde and said: «Ms. Anna… I was working out at night to keep up with lady Juno when suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning nearly killed me… As if gods themselves are angry with my good luck!»

Anna exhaled deeply. «I see. If you don’t want the lightning to kill you, you’d better sleep at night. Babies need a lot of sleep.»

Kyon quickly rose to his feet. She was messing up with him, but he couldn’t understand why. «Do I look like a baby?»

A sweet smile lit up her face, her lips slightly parted when Anna turned to leave. She was sending him a message she treated him like a child.

Kyon smiled wryly, unable to keep his mouth shut. «Ms. Anna, did you think I was a baby when I won, and you lost and hurried to leave?»

The maid stopped and slowly turned around… Her beautiful face darkened. «Hmm, look who’s talking…» – There was a shadow of a chilling smile on her face that made her look like Dinah.

Kyon coughed into his fist. He wished he knew how to hold his tongue. «I am sorry, ma’am. It was wrong of me to say that…»

But it was too late. Anna was already heading towards him with an elegant step. In the moonlight, the blonde girl was especially attractive. Her tight short nightie looked thinner than a veil of fog. Kyon admired like enchanted her slim waist and amazing firm C-cup boobs. She had black high-heeled shoes… There must be blades inside if she came running in them.

«A slip of the tongue often speaks the truth. So, the last battle gave you the idea that I gave in. Well, you have grown bolder. Isn’t it a bit too presumptuous of you?»

Kyon shook his head.

Anna approached him at arm’s length and looked him up and down. «After our last battle, I tried to track you down and take revenge, but you have been hiding… Let me dispel your doubts. I don’t want you to think that I am a loser. Get ready for a fight. Now!» – Her voice gained a harsh tone as she was finishing her tirade. Her development fell rapidly to the 4th stage of the base phase.

Kyon had no choice. He clenched his fists and took up a combat stance. It was time for a rematch that had been a long way coming. It was his chance to prove himself. Anna had to know why he was so important to Juno. At the same time, he would dispel any suspicion she might have.

Anna was determined to start a fight. She attacked mainly with her hands and only occasionally used her feet. One wrong move and blood would shed, given that she had sharp blades in her shoes…

Every movement showed her refined technique. However, the long heels reduced her effectiveness, giving Kyon an advantage in some aspects of the battle. He could see through her moves and launch a surprise attack at any moment. Anna was only at the 4th level of the battle fist and had a half-speed advantage. She was no match for him… If she were at the 5th level she, might be.

Kyon chuckled to himself. It was in his power to decide the outcome of the battle. Losing on purpose had its pros, but he prefered to beat the cheeky girl who dared to call him a baby.

Anna was trying really hard to land a single blow. She was naive to think she could mislead him. She turned red and was out of breath… Anna spared no effort to win! It would be so disappointing to lose a baby who needed a lot of sleep.

An evil grin appeared on the Kyon’s face. {Hell no, you won’t win. You will lose to the baby. What will you feel after your defeat?} – He wanted to humiliate her, make her swallow her words. Perhaps, if the maid wasn’t beautiful, Kyon would have only rolled his eyes at her provocation.

Anna growled furiously:

«Arrrgh! And that’s it? All you can do is retreat?! What a lousy strategy! Are you afraid to hit me, baby?»

Anna did not understand what was going on. She was an unsurpassed high profile assassin, with a certificate of the 4th level of the battle fist, with half speed advantage, and she couldn’t beat the pathetic servant!? It was crazy! The boy’s moves were completely illogical! The sly fox kept unpredictably changing the balance of his body. She tried to kick him in the leg, and he deftly dodged away as if he could see her with his third eye. She tried to mislead him, and he had already blocked her punch. It was some kind of twisted dream… No martial art teaches his style of movement. He had no style! Was he a human at all?

A bitter sense of annoyance filled Anna’s heart. It hurt so much… What if… What if she quietly raised her development to the 5th stage? No, she couldn’t do that. Or maybe…?

At some point, Anna saw a gap in his defense. She ran up to him, ready to strike, so close to winning. Was it her chance?

But then something happened that she didn’t see coming… It must have been magic, but the boy managed to dodge and trip her, kicking her ankle. Damned high heels! He swept her off her feet, her head spinned. Anna flew forward and flopped down on the servant with all her weight.

Kyon smelled the pleasant aroma of the young girl and wished he could hug her warm, elegant body… However, he wanted to live even more.

In less than a couple of seconds, the maid pushed him away. Her beautiful face turned pale with fury. «Did you do it on purpose!?»

Kyon looked at her pitifully and replied: «I’m sorry… I wanted to hit you before you fell on me… But then I realized that I just couldn’t hurt you… I’m sorry, ma’am.» – He was getting back at her for underestimating him.

Now Anna was furious. She was overwhelmed with an urge to punch him in the face. In a split second, she grabbed the servant by the neck like a toy. «You little shit, don’t you dare to underestimate me! We’ve been fighting for several minutes, but you only defended yourself! If Dinah was in my place, they’d have to scrape up what was left of you! But unlike my sister, I will give you another chance… Get ready to attack!»

As soon as Kyon took up a combat position, Anna threw off her high-heeled shoes. Her neat bare feet touched the cold surface of the arena. Her short nightie was wet with sweat, clinging to her slim body. It was devilishly enchanting.

Anna was in a belligerent mood. At that moment, he wanted to take over her by all means, to conquer her, win her heart and mind.

The fight began. Anna’s piercing eyes could wipe her enemy off the world, but Kyon did not even think to look the mad amazon in the eyes.

Kyon’s eyes flashed. He showed inhuman flexibility arching his back and kicking the girl to the side.

He thought Anna would get what she deserved when she caught his leg with unprecedented speed and smashed him against the floor with such force that his bones cracked.

«Oh, I’m so sorry. You are so weak that I won in a heartbeat. Please, don’t cry, baby. Your battle technique falls short just a little bit. But I’m sure when you grow up, you’ll try your luck again. Will you?» – He could hear mockery with a pinch of contempt in her voice.

Anna’s infinite insolence was shocking. She had secretly raised the stage of her development. The idea of losing to him was unbearable to her.

Kyon wanted to object, but his big mouth had always got him into trouble. He pulled himself together and stayed lying still on the ground.

Anna looked into his eyes once again, picked up her shoes and quietly left the training ground.
