Prime Originator

In order to expel the cold energy, Leon first had to warm up Lynne's body by giving her a unique set of massage.

His hands were infused with fire elements, making it warm to the touch. The temperature was controlled so he wouldn't accidentally burn her.

When his hands contacted her leg, she felt the coldness on the surface of her skin being replaced with a warm fuzzy feeling. Under his massaging technique, the cold energy in her legs were slowly being eliminated. It also came with an inexplicable pleasure that made her let out a weak moan inadvertently.

"Wuuu..." She covered her mouth to muffle her moans, while her face turns red with both anger and embarrassment. She looked at Leon with some grievance.

'So hateful. Why didn't you warn me?' She wanted to stop Leon from continuing, but she was too weak to resist as the wave of pleasure slowly overwhelms her.

Rachel felt some envy, doubts and curiosity looking at Lynne's face that was rosy red and plastered with a look of ecstasy. Was this really a medical treatment? Why does she look like she's on cloud nine? Ahh... I wish we could trade places... huh? What am I thinking? Rachel shook her head of the ridiculous notion with a blush. She must be crazy.

Lynne's moan was soft, but it was very erotic to those who heard it. Leon was no exception. Luckily, he still had some self-awareness and notice the problem. He chose to stop the message and did not embarrass her further. However, he still placed one hand on her back and continue channeling fire elements to eliminate the cold energy in her body. Lynne's body has been enduring the cold energy for a whole night and it had left part of her body frozen. The massage was good for restoring blood flow to the frozen areas.

"Leon Bradford, I made you representative for a day and you are already defying my orders?" The crowd was quiet and only Eugene's voice was heard in a low tone. As fellow commoners, he had high hopes for Leon to become an exemplary soldier, but he was left disappointed.

Only one day had passed, and the kid was already acting unruly and flirting in public.

"I'm treating my friend." Leon did not turn around and answered with his back to him.

Eugene raised an eyebrow at his action. It did not look like treatment to him, but a shameless public display of affections. Leon was not giving him face at all by facing him with his back. He felt his anger rising.

If he doesn't teach these kids how to respect their superiors, wouldn't they step over his heads in the future?

Even if he put his military rank aside, he was a powerful 4th step awakener, someone stronger than these kids. They need to learn how to respect the strong! He wouldn't tolerate Leon's insolence.

"Hmph! Acting so physically intimate is also considered treatment? Treatment for what? Your libido? Pah! What a joke!" When Eugene snaps, he was very uncouth.

Leon was wholeheartedly trying to treat Lynne. It wasn't his intention to disrespect the instructor.

However, the instructor's words were vulgar and very grating to his ears. Leon was immediately furious.

"What the fuck do you know!?" He roared at Eugene.

"What gall! If I don't teach you a lesson, I won't be able to live up to my nickname!" Eugene barked before turning to the teachers and other military personnel on scene. "All of you stay out of this!"

Leon took the opportunity to hand Lynne over to Rachel to take care and under Fatty Ben's disappointed look.

"Be careful." Rachel said. She was displeased with the instructor. He was uncouth and narrow-minded.

"Everyone, keep your distance." The teachers and military personnel made space for Eugene and Leon to duke it out.

"By the way... what is Commander Eugene's nickname?" A teacher asked one of military personnel?"

"That is..." The person being asked had an awkward smile. "Commander Eugene is called the Wild Bear in the army."

"Oh?" The teacher was taken aback but didn't asked further.

Eugene was the least disciplined of all commanders and a big troublemaker. There was never day of peace in the army with him around. He was a battle maniac, challenging people left and right every day. No amount of punishment was enough to discipline and tame his wild nature. Hence, everyone cursed him as a wild bear, but he took the name with pride.

It was uncertain whether he was assigned as the instructor because he was the best for the job, or he was simply sent away to save people from the headaches he brings.

Nevertheless, many had rejoiced when he was sent away from the military base.

The students watched the two face off with anticipation. Some rooted for Leon, while others were hoping he gets beaten badly and make a fool of himself. Edric and his friends were part of the later.

"Come!" Eugene took a welcoming stance as the earth cracked beneath his feet before numerous rocks rose before dropping back to the ground.

Leon wasn't stupid enough to engage Eugene in close combat just because he goaded him to. The military had a unique set of martial arts to combat the advantage beasts had in physical strength.

Leon was impatient to end the fight quickly so he could resume Lynne's treatment, but he did not plan to use his needles. It was his trump card for killing.

Fire gathered to him like numerous strands as they weaved around him in a spherical manner.

"Hmph! Don't think I'll wait for you to power up your attack!" Since Leon did not charge at him, he will take the initiative to strike first.

Eugene took a step forward with a stomp and the rocks rose again before Eugene punched at the air in front and the rocks shot at Leon like bullets.

Leon's face changed slightly as he dodged to the side. The fire followed with him at the center. Part of the fire strands gathered to his hands and condensed into fire needles. The fire needles were compressed and solidified before he shot them back at the same time, he was dodging the rock bullets.

Eugene had anticipated a counterattack and quickly stomped the ground again as an earth wall quick rose in front of him to block the two fire needles.

He had the choice of dodging, but someone may have been hit by the fire needles. Leon was forcing him to block the fire needles.

The fire needles drilled through the thick earth wall with a lot of momentum, but it was not enough. The tips were exposed from the other end of the earth wall before they had lost all momentum.

Eugene sweated as the tips were just inches from his face, but his blood boiled with excitement. His anger subsided and his battle spirit rose as one would expect from a battle maniac.

"Good! Let's see how you fare in close combat!"

As soon as the earth wall collapsed, a footprint was imprinted in the ground behind as Eugene shot forward like a cannonball.

"You talk too much!!" Leon roared. Eugene's anger may have subsided, but Leon's anger had not.

Eugene was met with another two fire needles to his face. He was shocked as he twisted his body in midair and narrowly dodged the fire needles. He did not expect Leon to form another two fire needles so swiftly.

"Shit! Everyone dodge!" The teachers warned the students as the fire needle shot at them. There was no way the teacher could block the fire needles when Eugene barely did. They were only 1st to 3rd step awakeners. They focused on education and naturally neglected training their ability.

Everyone thought they had put themselves at a reasonable distance to watch the fight, but who knew that their lives would still be threatened at such a distance.

Coincidentally, Edric was in the fire needle's most direct line of trajectory as his eyes were wide open and feet rooted on the spot. Luckily, he had Cayden and Adrian by his side as they were fast thinkers and tackled him to the ground. The fire needles brushed past them drilled into a stone wall not far away.

Edric was shaken with fear when he just experienced a close shave with death. An unpleasant smell traveled up his nose as he noticed his pants was wet. He had inadvertently pissed himself.

Edric felt humiliated and embarrassed as he looks at Leon in the distance with hatred and gritted teeth.

...

Leon was forced to receive Eugene's fist and locked into close combat as he had failed to halt Eugene's momentum.

The person having the upper hand in the close combat was quickly determined after they traded several blows.

Fighting close combat with Eugene made Leon want to puke blood from the frustration. He was so angry he could not land a solid blow on him and was suppressed instead despite wielding greater strength. All his fists and kicks could not connect and were parried one after another instead.

Military Arts; Flowing Stream.

It was a martial art technique that utilizes the opponent's strength against them and redirect their attacks. Like the name suggested, the technique flows along the opponent's attack like a stream and does go against it like the current.

To fight hard with soft.

Eugene was forced to use his military arts to his greater shock when he traded blows with Leon.

Such powerful physical strength and physique! Leon was a 5th step awakener! A 17-year old 5th awakener! His talents were unprecedented and unrivaled! Eugene concluded.
