It was now the afternoon of the 24th of December. Tomorrow is Christmas and Vincent has successfully polished his vibration senses. He can now dodge, block or evade attacks, about 9 out of 10 of them. If he was to be attacked by a hundred men, he’ll be able to avoid 80% of it. In other words, it’s just polished, not yet perfected. But Vincent will perfect it, that’s for sure. They are now eating some ramen that Abraham made, and it was so good that Vincent couldn’t stop but get seconds. They were discussing that Vincent has no training left, and all he needs to do is rest because the battle between him and her will happen tomorrow at Christmas day. It’s the only day she was available so that’s when they’ll fight. The president will be in attendance, and there
The fight started with Ichika the first to attack. And just like Vincent had feared, Ichika uses both of her sword all together and in each hand. She was like a chainsaw that has her blade nonstop. She kept on attacking the nervous Vincent, even though he already has many cuts. Vincent also couldn’t use his skin hardening due to his intense nervousness. The crowd are going wild as Ichika, their samurai, was the one dominating this battle, which they expected it to be. Michael was face-palming as he watched this performance of Vincent. Because Vincent was supposed to be not that nervous when it comes to fighting. But it seems that Vincent’s excitement and nervousness had join forces to make Vincent be like this, Making her bleed must’ve pissed her off, as she started to attack Vincent aggressively than before. With two weapons using against Vincent is proving to be an absolute challenge. Vincent can’t quite get the timing to counter attack her sometimes, but he can still go along. It was like a hurricane and a snowstorm clashing at each other. Because Fubuki literally means snowstorm and Vincent is the hurricane because of his swift movements and great attacks. In other words, this is a clash between the two of the strongest sword or katana users, it’s a battle that everyone must see. Sparks can be seen as their weapons hit each other. Neither of them will yield to the other,“Uh, this battle will-”“End any moment now. Going all out like this will drain their stamina and then –”Abraham was forced to stop on what he was about to say when the two broke apart. Ichika then put one of her kVINCENT MILES: AND THE FIST OF FIRE CHAPTER 96:A HURRICANE AND A SNOWSTORM
It was a short, yet, tough battle. No one actually knew who’ll come out on top, even though the people support Ichika. However, after what Vincent has shown them, there’s no doubt that they are absolutely having second thoughts earlier. The showing of unwavering will to win and prevail and the total concentration by Vincent earlier has left the citizens of Sasaki speechless. The short and tough battle has come to an end, and only one shall rise to the top. And that person is the one standing in the middle of this cloud of dust. The president was on his feet just like everyone. They are itching to see who actually won. Michael then shook his head as he slowly stood up. The blast earlier made him dizzy a little bit. He then helped his father to stand up who was also laying on the ground just a few feet to his right,“Told you, bad idea.” Says Michael.Abraham clicked his tongue,“No one knew that he’s
Vincent has spent his last three days here in Sasaki doing what he always wanted to do. He roamed around the streets and learning their cultures. He now knows the name of the cloth he is wearing, which is a kimono. He tasted a lot of different foods, but the food that he didn’t like was the natto. Some beans-like food that he didn’t like the texture. Vincent can tell the taste by his smell, so he knew he didn’t like it. And 3 days clearly isn’t enough. But they have to go. Students are required to assemble at the Central Continent 2 days prior to the day of the Academy Showdown. It is to tally up the scores of students and choose those who will participate in the Showdown. And it is also for students to be able to spend New Year’s Eve with their families, if their families are waiting. Vincent still wants to experience a lot in Sasaki, but they have to go home this midnight. The people of Sasaki have
Michaela asked the pilot to just send him above the city of Kotsubo which is just 10 kilometers away from Sasaki. His division is there to do some investigation on some sort of a mysterious crime and local authorities have requested for their help as this is already beyond their ability. And he now reached his destination. The plane was now hovering right above Kotsubo. The door opened and wind came rushing in the aircraft,“Well, this is where part, huh?” says Michael.“Yeah. Thank you, for inviting me and training me. I learned a lot and I enjoyed it.” Thanked Vincent.Michaela smiled as he patted Vincent’s shoulder and then stood up then approached the door,“Like dad said, don’t doubt yourself, always believe in yourself. So, the next we meet you will maybe a hero then. Well, see ya’.” Says Michael as he jumped off the plane.The door
Violet, Jameson, Victor and Romeo arrived just 3 hours before New Year. They brought a lot of food and there’s also these 2 roasted pigs. And as he expected, everyone wanted to hear the stories of Sophia and Vincent’s training. Both of them experienced struggles and pain, but it was just worth it. They grew stronger than before and it’s good, considering the fact that they are contenders for something special. And Jameson is just proud of what his children is accomplishing. They kept on telling stories until there’s only 10 minutes left until New Year. They all stood up and went to this big balcony. Sophia and everyone noticed it, Vincent was smiling this whole time. Well, it’s only natural since he hasn’t spent any holidays with them in ten years. And it must be heartbreaking to spend important holidays like this alone. The clock then ticks. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Happy New Year! And as the fireworks bursts up in the air, Vincent was looking up and buste
Everyone was wasted last night. Violet was puking all over the floor, and Sophia is having a terrible headache. They aren’t suited for drinking. It’s already 5 in the morning, and Sophia and Vincent need to go to school before 8. But Sophia is not in a condition to go to school. She says that her head is spinning like crazy. And when she lay down to sleep it through, it feels like she was spinning over and over again. Vincent, however, doesn’t feel anything, except for the excitement to go back to school and meet his friends again. Alcohol doesn’t really make him drunk. It burns and the alcohol seems to get converted into energy that energizes Vincent. He drank 15 bottles of strong wine and it doesn’t seem to hit him. Even the slightest of dizziness does not show in Vincent’s face. He just stayed up all night, watching over his siblings who were crawling all over the floor because they were drunk. Victor helped him for a moment, but Victor also co
It only took minutes for Vincent and Sophia to arrive at the Academy. And just like before, it was so crowded and they are escorted by a lot of police vehicles. The other nobles are also behind them. They parked in front of the school gate and everyone just gave way for the nobles to walk in. Reporters and photographers are also-ran there to feature the return of the nobles who went into training. But their eyes were targeting Vincent Miles. He is the most controversial person today. People always talk about him and saying that he’s a real prodigy. There hasn’t been an information about him for a month since he was at the isolated country, Sasaki. But there’s n doubt in the reporters’ minds that Vincent has gained new strength and is about to get picked in the Showdown. Mac exited the vehicle and opened the door for his masters. Sophia, who still has a painful headache stepped out of the car and cameras started to
Plague rose to his feet and then spat out blood as his wound on his chest started to smoke and heal,“That bastard. He covered his hostility so well that I didn’t even feel it until the last second. We have been had! Shit! Know where that bastard is going!” Plague yelled as the atmosphere in the area starts to intensify.Plague then went to his brother’s assistance as his right arm has been cut, and Plague then healed it, but unfortunately, he can’t regenerate it. It is because the attack was different, it has the intensity of a devil and the holiness of an angel. That is something that has never happened before. Both worlds colliding to create a powerful attack like that is not some kind of joke and this is the first time everyone has seen it. Which makes this upcoming battle more exciting. They have all seen a man wielding hundreds of blades before, but he himself holds a single type of blade. But not this guy,“Kendrick Griffin. You have carved your name in my mind. I promise to ki
Kendrick is now awake, and he is now preparing for another night in this vast and dangerous place. As he rose to his feet, the presence of vicious demons around them was the first thing he felt. It was an unpleasant feeling as he just woke up after a long fight last night, and now, it seems that nothing is over yet and nothing is sure as long as they stay in this place.“You guys, what have you—oh my! What the fuck happened?!” Kendrick snapped.He then looked around, as he made another mistake. Erika, Johnny, and Janella are now gone, and he doesn’t know where they went. He then tried to grab on the string that he attached to each and every one of them, but it was no use, the string has been severed, and he is the only attached to it.“Fuck!” Kendrick cursed as he thrashed around the camp in frustration.He blamed himself for what is happening, as if he didn’t sleep, the three might still be here. Kendrick felt lost and confused and frustrated. He sat on the ground just sighing hard a
After the decimation of the demons all over the city, except for the mutants, Kendrick and Johnny just stood there in disbelief. Kendrick and Tsukuyomi were still shaking for some reason,“There is no time to doze off! I’ll handle the mutants, Johnny, please go to Erika!” Kendrick ordered as he then ran towards the charging mutants.Johnny doesn’t want to get ordered by an 18-year-old kid, but since Kendrick has a point and the one who will help him get back to his village, he will let everything slide for now as he then went to run to Erika who is now collapsed on the store’s floor.“Hey! You, okay?!” Johnny rushed towards her and just laid her nicely so she can relax.“Y-Yeah. Just a bit *cough* exhausted. I have never released that much energy before, so, yeah, I am just fine.” Erika replied as she breathes heavily and then coughs.After a few minutes, Kendrick arrived with green goo dripping down his holy sword. He entered the store and immediately told them to get ready to go as
Johnny continued his story, and then eventually told Kendrick and Erika that he needs to go back to his village, but he does not have the ability to do so as he is not strong enough to defend himself from hordes of demons that are much stronger than him, and another is that he is definitely outnumbered. Kendrick, who was listening put the fire out after cooking their dinner as the whole store is being filled with some and it will get hard to breathe if they continue this fire. As they ate, Kendrick asked him,“Why do you want to go back anyway?” Kendrick asked as he sipped on his corn and crab soup.“I have something to recover. Something the village elder told us to get once the village is annihilated, and I think that thing is important if the elder insisted to us like that.” Johnny replied as he then continued to eat.Erika was just wolfing down her food and was never butting in in the conversation as she has got nothing to say in this.“So, I am here to ask for help—”“No!” Kendri

The battle, which was already intense earlier, got much more nerve-racking. The clash between the two was faster than earlier, and it was just incredible and terrifying at the same. Because the fact that a student is doing these kinds of things and having a full form of an angel is not something to see every day. Normally, swordsmen and women would have to take at least decades to perfect their forms. And not everyone can activate this kind of form as it only works for the chosen ones. The swords community is now watching the battle from afar. Since a lot of them have injuries and won’t make it in time to reach the camp, they decided to stay in this position for a while and tend to the wounded. And they are also here to make sure that Kendrick will have reinforcements once he asks for it. As they watch, one of the swordsmen then approached Jason and the commander,“Sir, Ma’am. I got something.” The man says.He then took out his camera that is connected to every public screen througho
Not wanting to hurt his family even though they are fake, has left Kendrick crawling around the church’s floor, begging his family to stop. He has every ability and strength to defeat all of them, especially the demon that are controlling them. However, he is not to use that power against his family. It has been a month and a half since this one-sided fight started, and Kendrick can feel that he would die in this. He can’t handle it. Amaterasu was right, this is the most brutal and gruesome stage of the entire 100 years of training. The pain, the agony and grief cannot be described in this. Kendrick is even wondering that how can they call this a training when it is meant to leave physical and mental trauma to those who undergoes it.“What is the matter, Ken? Don’t you rather join us, than to avenge us?” all of them said at once.Kendrick stood up and faced them,“I do want to join you guys. Because without vengeance, I would serve no purpose. But I refuse to die in the hands of some
5 more years have passed, and Kendrick’s skin is starting to turn gray as the water is starting to become little blades. Kendrick, who can now project a physically able umbrella made from energy. Amaterasu knows that it won’t be long until Kendrick forms a fully and complete one. Kendrick on the other hand is now feeling the pain, the chills and exhaustion. He never knew that he would hold out this long, but he is long before completing this first stage of his training. His beard grew more, and he doesn’t even know how long he has been sitting here and was meditating. As far as he knows, he has been here much longer than he is expecting. However, even though he has fortified his mind and is not letting doubts, hesitations and fears get in him, his body, his human flesh, is weak. His mind is not giving up, but his body is worn out and is wanting to quit this suffering and just die. But his determination and sheer willpower alone is not letting him. Because in his mind, no matter what a
