?Chapter 149:
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Aelfric burst through the main hall’s doors, apanied by a resounding crash outside. The sound was so thunderous that it left everyone in shock, momentarily frozen in ce. Marc and Terry, familiar with the chief instructor’s skills, were less taken aback. Their eyes sparkled with admiration. As always, their chief instructor was unmatched!
Marissa dusted off her hands and strolled out. Marc and Terry followed her, one of them eximing, “It’s been a long time, chief instructor! Yet, you’re still as formidable as ever!” Back in her Doomsday Base days, Marissa had grown ustomed to such ttery from these two admirers. With them by her side, she exited the hall. It was only then that the others grasped what had transpired and quickly filed out
Derek and Dennis looked visibly shaken. The chief instructor’s actions were over the top. Could Aelfric possibly survive such a forceful kick? Unwilling to ponder the grim possibilities, they joined the exodus from the hall
In the courtyard’s center was arge pot filled with lotuses and fish darting between the lotus leaves. When Aelfric was ejected, hended right on it, shattering the pot. The pot shattered into countless fragments, and as the mud seeped out, fish floundered across the ground. Aelfricy in the mud, struggling vainly to rise. His face, once adorned with vibrant paint, was now smeared with mud, adding to the chaotic blend of colors. Once neat and tidy, he now resembled a beggar

As the deputy chief instructor, his pride had been shattered by the chief instructor. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t manage to stand. Eventually, Aelfric ceased his efforts. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and, with a pained expression, pressed his face into the muddy earth. Aelfric had been King’s first disciple, having joined Doomsday Base at the tender age of five. After years of rigorous training, he was on the verge of bing Doomsday Base’s sessor. But then, ck Mallow appeared and snatched away his chances
If not for the Mad Reaper, he would have been the chief instructor of Doomsday Base, poised to inherit King’s mantle. Yet, ck Mallow had ruined everything. How he longed to skin her alive! He had always been clever, feeling superior to others. Yet, he constantly faced adversaries he couldn’t surpass. In Blebert, he couldn’t defeat Connor. In Doomsday Base, he waspletely outssed by a girl, his dreams of supremacy dashed. He despised everything about this world
Marissa was aware of Aelfric’s deep resentment during their time at Doomsday Base. However, she chose not to confront him then. She had two reasons for teaching him a lesson today. One was to avenge Le, and the other was to help Connor neutralize a lurking threat. Aelfric had reached out to ck Snake, and it was certain he would connect with Amiri next. They would likely join forces to eliminate Connor. This made Connor’s uing trip on the Sunrise even more perilous
For now, the immediate threat posed by Aelfric was neutralized. Her kick had been precise and powerful, aimed to cause significant swelling and nerve pressure around his waist. This injury would prevent him from engaging inbat for at least ten days, and he surely couldn’t exert his usual strength on the Sunrise. These maneuvers were her guarded secrets, unknown to anyone else. To the trainees of Doomsday Base, the chief instructor’s entricity was well-known, so Aelfric wouldn’t be suspicious of her intentions
After a brief silence, Marissa approached Aelfric, who was still on the ground, and quipped, “Aelfric, you’ve improved, but it’s still not enough. Keep practicing.”
“Understood,” Aelfric grumbled, his voice tinged with resentment, yet he dared not talk back. “Thank you for your guidance.”
“Rest well,” Marissa said with a smile, then turned and walked away. As she reached the gate of the branch, a sudden, enthusiastic shout stopped her
“Chief instructor!”
She turned, surprised to see Derek following her
