Martial Arts Worlds - Chapter 792
Chapter 792: Purple Cobras
“Good morning!”
Students started pouring into Martial Redemption Dojo and started the training like they always did with half an hour of warm-up exercises.
“Mmh!”
Cleo stretched her arms above her head and let out a satisfied moan before she started her exercise.
She was wearing Purple headband, which was the fourth highest rank in the dojo, and she had reached Middle Stage Martial Grandmaster.
She had also blossomed into a feminine woman, and she was called the flower of the Martial Redemption.
“…Hey, Cleo!”
“…Hi!”
Alpha and other children of the forests greeted her, and she greeted them back before heading inside.
She took out the Iron Style scroll, opened it, and looked at the instructions for all the skills, and wondered what she should learn next.
Before Kiernan’s departure, he left behind this scroll because he believed it would take him a long time before his return so that they could still keep practicing.
“…Ghost Spring.”
Cleo put the scroll back on the wall and started her training by jumping side-to-side on one foot and then changed feet and did the same.
“The boys are again coming late, aren’t they?”
In that moment, Aoi walked over to her and said with a wry smile.
“They are busy with stuff. I am sure they will be here shortly!”
Cleo said with a smile.
She basically treated Aoi as the new master of the dojo, and also had kind of little sister/big sister relationship with her.
In the dark times of the dojo, everyone grew close to try to keep the dojo running.
In that moment, the front gate opened, and everyone thought that more students would be coming in, but soon everyone’s expressions changed.
Wearing purple cobra gis, dangerous-looking people walked in, holding baseball bats, and everyone realized they were not there to train.
“I hope I am not intruding. I do not want to disturb your training. I am just here to have a little talk with missus over there.”
The dojo master of Purple Cobra, Rooker, pointed with his baseball bat at Aoi and wore a chilling grin on his face.
His students looked at Martial Redemption’s students with disgust, and they all shrank back in fear.
“…You are here to talk? It doesn’t look like it.”
Aoi showed herself and said with a frown.
“Ah…”
With a smile, Rooker approached her and moved his gaze all around her body—lingering longer at her chest.
He licked his lips and said with a smile.
“Why don’t you become my woman, Miss Aoi? I will be treating you and your students well. It wouldn’t hurt to have a Four Star Dojo such as mine backing yours!”
Rooker said with a smirk.
“…I am married.”
Aoi said with a frown.
“Married to a dead man, haha. Come on, I know you’re also feeling sexually frustrated. I can take care of that, you know.”
He tried to grab her face, but she slapped his hand away and looked into his eyes with coldness.
“I want you to leave.”
Aoi said.
“Tch, tch…”
Rooker shook his hand that was stinging a little bit.
He was Low Stage Martial Emperor and was still in the Age of Growth, so he could still grow much stronger in a short time.
Aoi had reached the High Stage Martial Legend and was already a powerhouse in her own right, but Rooker could still take over this dojo if it was just her.
However.
At that moment, Rooker caught sight of Renette standing by the stairs and felt a cold chill run down his back.
Every time he saw her, there was something really off about her.
“Is everything alright, Master Aoi?”
A man’s voice came from the front gate, and everyone turned around to see three men enter the dojo’s grounds.
“Lumian, Shiro, and… Jock!”
Cleo said with a smile, but she looked conflicted when she mentioned Jock’s name, as if there was something going on there.
“The children have arrived, hmph!”
Rooker said with a smirk.
“Maybe it is time for you to leave?”
Lumian approached him, and when he was standing in front of Rooker, he was just barely taller than him.
He had become a Black-ranked student of the Martial Redemption Dojo, and he was also a Low Stage Martial King.
It was an amazing achievement by someone of his age, but he had always compared himself to Kiernan and knew that he was still lacking!
“Yawn… The purple rats are still bothering us?”
Shiro said with a yawn.
He was also a Black-ranked student of the dojo, but he was already a High Stage Martial King and had won many tournaments in the past ten years.
“…Who are you calling a rat, bastard?”
“…Big words coming from a student of the trash Two-Star dojo!”
Shiro just smirked at those comments.
He had become a master rage baiter, which had brought him some trouble from other martial artists and media who had labeled him a troublemaker.
“…”
Lastly, Jock entered the yard, and it was impossible to recognize him, as his old self had completely disappeared.
With a rather handsome face, he had transformed into a formidable martial artist, a force to be reckoned with.
He had ear piercings of various sizes and shapes, a scar running down his left cheek, and a tattoo of a beast on his neck.
It was easy to mistake him for some delinquent.
He wasn’t wearing his glasses anymore, as after that one thing ten years ago, he no longer needed them.
A few years ago, when he was in Montrael’s university, he participated in their nationals team, and while he didn’t win, he was ranked as the 7th best martial artist under 25 years old in the country.
It was an amazing achievement since this was a Tier 1 country!
“…”
Cleo looked at Jock but then turned her gaze away with a pout and ignored him altogether.
“…I guess I am not wanted here, but consider my offer, Miss Aoi, I think you’ll come to love being with me.”
Rooker winked at her, then pushed every student out of his way, and left the dojo.
“…You alright?”
Lumian asked of Aoi.
“Yes… Continue practicing.”
Aoi said with a smile.
She was hiding it, but her hands were trembling, as she was genuinely afraid of Rooker, as this wasn’t the first time he had tried something.
His acts were just escalating further and further, and she was afraid that he was going to do something drastic soon.
