Chapter 38 Counterattack
"You actually dare to come back?"
When Mu Mian saw Chen Mu and Lin Yongxi return, her expression darkened.
Her students have already gone in for the assessment, and she is waiting outside.
She never expected Chen Mu to come back to fight, and thought that his previous excuse was just an excuse to avoid the situation, so she didn't take the terms of the bet seriously.
"Of course, I also want to kick you out of the Demon Academy as soon as possible."
Chen Mu remembered it clearly, and there was no fear on his face.
"You bastard..."
Seeing his arrogance, Mu Mian was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wished she could lash out immediately.
At this moment, the onlookers in the front hall of the Demon Academy looked over again. Perhaps due to the reputation of Kapok, these staff members did not dare to get too close to watch or take out their phones to take pictures. But at least their desire to watch the drama was unstoppable. Fortunately, this competition would not use magic, otherwise they would have been afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
"What is he thinking? What if he gets hurt?"
"Perhaps he was grieving the loss of his wife and had nowhere to vent, so he needed to let it all out. Sigh, he's a pitiful person."
"That magical girl is awful, she's gone too far..."
"If only I could teach her a lesson, but unfortunately, I have no chance of winning."
Judging from the whispers around him, most people were pessimistic about Chen Mu's challenge.
This is understandable, as everyone living in this world is aware of the power of magical girls, especially those working at the Magic Academy who have firsthand experience. They all believe that Chen Mu wouldn't even be able to withstand a single punch and would likely be severely injured and fall into a coma.
Some of Chen Mu's colleagues, who were usually on good terms with him, had even quietly dialed the number for an ambulance for him.
Chen Mu, the only one in the spotlight, remained standing still, slowly moving his wrists as if he were warming up.
The more confident he appeared, the more wary Mu Mian became.
...Could it be that Lord Dawn really left him some magical artifact, which is why he was so fearless?
...No, impossible. Even if there are magical items, people without magic power cannot activate them, so they would be useless!
Kapok tentatively asked in a cold voice:
"You're not trying to stall for time, waiting for other magical girls to come and rescue you, are you? If so, I suggest you give up on that useless expectation; no one is going to come."
She's right. If this were any other time, other magical girls would have come to the rescue if something like this happened in the front hall of the Magic Academy.
But today is different; it's the day for the novice magical girl assessment and certification. Most of the active magical girls are inside the academy serving as judges and examiners. Even those without assigned duties either have students they're training or are simply there to watch the fun. Very few of them stay outside.
This has led to this unusual situation, and to this day, no one has come to mediate and end this farce.
Chen Mu was aware of this, of course, so he simply responded with a smile:
"You're the one stalling for time, aren't you? What, aren't you ready yet?"
"you!"
He seemed to be very good at that sly smile, adept at provoking people. Kapok was instantly ignited and charged forward, gritting her teeth.
She was incredibly fast, arriving almost instantly. With a swift movement, she unleashed a vicious hook punch, creating a whooshing sound as she swung her hand.
There were no fancy moves, nor any magical power involved. This wasn't because Kapok was particularly trustworthy, but simply because of her arrogance and disdain.
Absolutely not!
She aimed for Chen Mu's chest, right at his vitals. This punch would ensure that she would cause the most serious damage without killing him.
I'll paralyze you, leave you bedridden for life!
The magical girl's powerful physique made this punch incredibly powerful. Chen Mu, standing still, had no time to dodge and was about to take the blow!
Some people even closed their eyes, unable to bear watching Chen Mu's tragic state that was about to unfold.
However, something completely unexpected happened.
No muffled cracking of bones or screams of agony were heard.
In that instant, Mu Mian felt as if her fist had struck a steel plate, and she felt an incredibly hard recoil.
The shock made her wrist go numb. She subconsciously uttered "Hmm?" and looked up.
Chen Mu's face was solemn, and his body was thrown backward by the enormous impact.
The magical girl's punch was not without force.
But he kept his promise and withstood the blow.
He slid back several steps, scraping the floor with a screeching sound.
His chest heaved violently, his breathing was heavy, and a trace of blood even spilled from the corner of his mouth, but... he still stood!
They didn't fall!
"cough……"
Chen Mu coughed up a mouthful of bloody saliva, his eyes sharp as knives, a cold, blood-tinged smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. Just as Mu Mian was stunned by this unexpected outcome, his hand, which had been hanging by his side, shot out with lightning speed, snapping shut on Mu Mian's wrist before she could retract it!
Mu Mian was startled and tried to pull back, but found that the other party's five fingers were like iron clamps, not moving an inch!
What's with that force?!
impossible!
"Next," Chen Mu's deep voice rang out, carrying a suppressed ruthlessness, "it's my turn to fight back."
Before he finished speaking, his other arm had already been raised like a whip.
Using the force of twisting his waist and abdomen, he delivered a simple yet incredibly fast hook punch, retaliating in kind, which slammed hard into the side of Kapok's jaw!
boom!
A dull thud resounded.
Kapok felt a sharp pain in her chin, saw stars before her eyes, and her head buzzed.
Because she didn't have time to use her magic to protect herself, and without any defensive preparations, she staggered uncontrollably to the side and backward.
My mind went blank, and then the pain came over me.
However, Chen Mu's attack did not stop, nor did he show any mercy or intention to back down. He still held onto Mu Mian's wrist tightly, and in the instant when she lost her balance and had not yet recovered from the dizziness of the first blow, he suddenly raised his leg and delivered a powerful front kick, which landed solidly on Mu Mian's abdomen!
Bang-!
This time the sound was even more terrifying.
The kapok tree's body was instantly bent into a shrimp-like shape, as if it had been hit head-on by a speeding truck.
He was lifted off the ground and flew backward like a cannonball!
Boom!
Her body spanned the hall, which was dozens of meters wide, and slammed heavily against the wall with a loud thud, much to the disbelief of the onlookers. The sturdy wall caved in, creating a shallow crater, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out from the point of impact. Kapok's body was softly embedded in the crater, unable to slide down for a moment.
The entire foyer was deathly silent.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, as if they were witnessing something unbelievable.
How could this be! How could he possibly hurt a magical girl like that?!
Chen Mu slowly withdrew his leg, standing still, his chest still heaving.
He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes coldly fixed on the kapok tree on the wall. Beneath his suit jacket and shirt, no one could see the surface of his skin; the eerie, dark blue markings writhed and flickered wildly like living things, continuously injecting some inhuman power into his muscles and bones.
This is the power of the "weirdo".
