Otherworld Adventure 166 His Stronges

Yuna was already waiting on stage and in the next instant Cecil once more reappeared on the stage.

He looked a little gloomy and helpless. Near the arena, Lucia was glaring fiercely at him. It caused the hairs on his arms to rise up in alert and multiple chills to run down his spine.

Cecil gulped nervously. He could feel the cold sweat slowly dripping off of his chin.

"H-hey Yuna...she's furious...isn't she?"

"...what do you think?" Yuna sarcastically replied.

"I-isn't there some way to relieve her anger?"

"Of course, why not let her punch you a couple of times?"

"Eh? But, that'll hurt way too much," Cecil replied with an awkward smile.

Yuna shrugged and said, "Beats me. Master is furious because YOU keep running away. Why not just man up and confront her already?"

"But I don't know what to say!"

"Jeez...you've seriously had some problems in your upbringing..."

"I blame my father for this! He wouldn't let me have a normal childhood!"

"...but I heard you say your mother teaching you those affairs of the heart, no?"

"My mother's the kindest person in the world! And what she taught me was something from back when I was only 10 years old!"

It was at the time when he finally returned from his training in on their family's isolated island.

"...oh..." Yuna grew a little frustrated hearing this. She could no longer blame Cecil's mother since Cecil was still only a child at the time. Even she herself wasn't unreasonable enough to teach a child about...THAT!

The fight had already started, but the two contestants were only exchanging words with each other. The crowd was hoping for another blood-boiling battle. Especially since the match up was the dark horse Yuna vs. the Combat King Cecil.

"Hey! Why aren't those two fighting yet?!"

"They're only...talking!"

"What's with this?! Hey, ref! Hurry up and tell 'em to fight!!"

"Yeah! Tell them to fight already!"

"Hurry up!"

The crowd soon started getting more and more rowdy. They naturally couldn't hear the conversation and despite all this, Cecil and Yuna still didn't seem to have any intentions to fight each other.

Since Yuna finally figured out the flaw in Cecil's common sense, she decided to lecture him about some...things, things regarding THAT.

"Ohhhh!!! So that's what it was?"

"Yeah...do you get it now?"

"So...I don't have to be married to kiss someone?"

"Nope, but it's not like you could just kiss anyone okay?"

"Yeah, I get you! Even I wouldn't want to do that to just anyone. I mean, if it's Lucia then I guess it's alright."

"Hmmm, good~ now moving on, next is about s.e.x."

"s.e.x? You mean gender?"

"...this is gonna take a while."

The audience was growing noisier and annoyed, but Yuna's counseling still continued despite all this. At the end of her explanation, Cecil was already blus.h.i.+ng madly.

"W-w-w-w-w-what the heck?!!"

"Well, those things are only natural for any intelligent and non-intelligent species."

"Th-th-then...does Lucia?" Cecil turned an eye towards the furious girl near the stage. His face immediately popped red and 'smoke' exited from his ears.

"Hey! You're a little too young for that!"

"Y-yeah..."

"Anyway, if you really want to do that, you should at least wait a couple more years and get married first!"

"...okay..."

"Alright, now the necessary education has been given, shouldn't we start our fight?"

"Yeah...sure..." Cecil said exhaustingly. The information that he learned from Yuna was a little too much for his innocent and naive brain to handle.

"d.a.m.n...so Lucia...with me? What the heck?"

"Oi lover boy, you done blus.h.i.+ng?"

"..."

"I know I can't beat you, but since I've taught you something nice, why don't you reward me a little."

"Alright, what do you want?"

"I'd like to see you at your strongest."

"Huh?"

"I've never—no. No one's ever seen you fight at your strongest. Lucia explained to me a little why, but I'd still like to see it for myself," Yuna said, looking very much interested.

It was just like she said; no one's ever seen Cecil go all out. Like, literally all out. Lucia had already explained to her the 'shackles' that Cecil put on his body which limited his strength. Of course, it wasn't like he was being conceited or anything, but it was more of a precautionary measure. It was to make sure that his mind doesn't collapse from overusing his mana and destroying his body.

Cecil thought for a moment and opened his mouth, "I'm sorry, but I can't show you my 'strongest' because of circ.u.mstances, but I can at least show you my strongest just before I breach my 'shackles'."

"Alright, that'll do. I don't want Lucia to hate me anyway."

"Okay."

The audience was already annoyed at this point. The battle had long started, but the two on stage have only been talking for the past 20 minutes!

The fight had a time limit of 30 minutes, but two thirds of that time was actually spent on talking, it was no wonder the audience was very dissatisfied.

The referee couldn't even do anything to urge the two to fight. They were engaged in their conversation so seriously that they hadn't heard a single word from anyone around them.

Well, this wasn't because they were so serious, but it was because Yuna had set a sound barrier around them. It isolated any sounds going in or out. This was because even Yuna didn't want anyone to know that she had been lecturing Cecil about certain things that adults do.

It'd be way too embarra.s.sing if anyone else heard. They'd be wondering if this was a public s.e.xual education course or the Dueling Tournaments quarter finals' 3rd match.

Yuna quickly dispelled the barrier and now they could hear all the dissatisfied shouts and complaints that the audience was directing at the two.

"Hahaha, looks like we kept them waiting," Yuna chuckled.

"Yeah...should I start now?"

Cecil had jumped back a couple of steps and placed a 20 meter gap between them.

"Sure! Now show me what you got!"

Yuna crossed her arms and relaxed, she didn't have the posture of someone waiting for a fight. It was like she was about to watch some sort of spectacle.

And that was exactly what she was doing! Yuna had no intentions of fighting. The outcome was already decided the moment Cecil became her opponent. She was going to lose no matter what she did.

The two had already sparred multiple times during the Little Kings' training session inside the Academy's Time Formation. She lost every single one of her battles so easily, to the point where she hadn't even managed to land a single blow on the boy.

Since this was the case, she might as well help Cecil a little bit and have him show her his 'strongest' as a reward.

Cecil limbered up his body and relaxed. His earlier uneasy mood swiftly changed and he was back to his relaxed demeanor once more.

Cecil took a deep breath before exhaling. He tuned out all of the noise coming from his surroundings. He looked towards Yuna, his friends inside the waiting room, and lastly towards Lucia.

He smirked and thought aloud, "I'll only show this to you guys once. Engrave it into your minds, so hurry up and reach my level..."

His words weren't heard, but somehow his expression as he gazed at his friends was understood and they wondered; what was he up to?

Cecil got into a horse stance and began channeling his mana using his self-created Silvaria Family's Mana Cultivation Arts.

All the mana inside his body activated and began rus.h.i.+ng through his Mana Circuits and Mana Pathways. A golden aura began to rise from his body and it started to flare around him in a grand manner.

His change caused everyone in the stadium to immediately quiet down. The pressure and suffocation they felt from the mana being radiated from Cecil was overwhelming. Cecil didn't stop this, but instead exerted himself even more.

The golden aura rose around him. The pressure he was exerting almost rivaled the pressure he released when unleas.h.i.+ng his Spear Intent. Even the Little Kings were affected by the pressure, not to mention anyone else who wasn't accustomed to it.

Up in the Golden Fox Clan's private room, Anna smiled gleefully and said, "Oh dear~ my son is putting on a show of force, I should help out a little~"

Anna waved her hand and the pressure that was overwhelming everyone in the stadium immediately vanished, but this didn't mean no one was affected anymore. Even with the pressure gone, they still felt their breaths stifled, but at least they no longer had any difficulty breathing.

"HAAAAAAHHH!!!"

Cecil roared and the golden aura stabilized around him and it shrunk into his body. The aura was still present, but it was no longer flaring around wildly. Instead it was flowing around his body in a stable manner.

"Urk..."

He started to feel it...the pain started being transmitted from the mana pathways in his body that hadn't turned into Mana Circuits.

"Hoooohh...this is my... current strongest," Cecil exhaled a breath and said while faltering a little.

The pain was honestly a little too much. Cecil raised a hand and aimed it at Yuna. "You should dodge."

"..." Yuna lowered her body and prepared to block the attack.

Cecil saw this and only nodded. He gathered his mana into his outstretched hand until it formed a ball of golden mana.

"Flash Cannon."

At his words, a golden beam of mana was launched from his hand. It quickly flew straight towards Yuna and she was immediately alarmed.

The density of the mana flying at her was significantly much denser than the time Cecil had used Over Flash in a fit of anger. This time, he compressed his mana and fired a simple Flash Cannon.

Yuna immediately felt that if this golden beam hit her...the result wasn't something that anyone could just laugh about. She might lose an arm or leg, maybe even her life. It was a good thing Cecil didn't purposefully aim it at her.

He gave her enough time to dodge away, Yuna wanted to try blocking Cecil's attack at first, but she immediately changed her mind when she saw the power behind the Flash Cannon that Cecil had fired.

With Yuna dodging away, the Flash Cannon continued uninhibited and smash right into the protective barrier, it didn't take long before the barrier was immediately smashed apart. This alarmed everyone, but Cecil waved his hand upward and the golden beam of mana flew up in a reverse parabola.

The trajectory of the beam changed and it was flying back towards him. When the beam finally reached his spot, Cecil pushed out both his hands and controlled his mana beam. He manipulated it to spin in place.

With each revolution, the mana began to disperse into the air until it was small enough to fit into his hand. Once it was small enough, he grabbed and crushed it.

BOOOOMMMM WOOOOSSSSHHHH

A strong repulsing wave of mana flew out from Cecil and it caused Yuna to be pushed out of the arena. Of course she could have stopped herself, but she needed an excuse to lose the match. A simple surrender might earn her the ire of the crowd.

"...W-winner! Combat King Cecil!"

The audience couldn't applaud to this. Cecil's show of might was a little too astonis.h.i.+ng and it made them all speechless.

Cecil's face was a little pained by now. He stopped channeling his mana, but his mana pathways were aching and screaming in protest.

"d.a.m.n...shouldn't have done that..."
