Chapter 9: [09] "The Rise of Ares: Kayden's Disciple Shakes Up the World"
[One month after the fight against the top 100]
[In different parts of the world]
[People who heard rumors]
Tadeusz asked, "Does Kayden have a disciple? Can that maniac have a real student?"
Lucrezia said, "I finally found a way to get revenge on you, Kayden."
Leonel commented, "I'll take it out on your disciple, Kayden."
Ana wondered, "How is it possible for someone so young to defeat the top 100, 96, and 92? What kind of talent is that? He fights almost every week."
Sabrina said, "A rookie with that kind of strength... Could the rumors be false?"
Arturo pointed out, "The new generation is incredible."
Jared declared, "I have to challenge him. It's no big deal, he's just a kid."
Autumn predicted, "Several awakened young people will challenge him. We'll see if he can handle the pressure of being their apprentice."
"To be Kayden's disciple and have that power at such a young age, a particular title can be granted to him, and his power of light was something never witnessed before, thus making him the emperor of Light," a voice said, and that nickname began to spread throughout the world.
[World Academy of Awakened Ones]
Six figures dressed similarly are seen, with two of them sitting at a square table with different attire.
Garis Luteroine asked, "Is this Kayden Break's disciple? The one who defeated the top 100, 96, and 92 at only 17 years old?"
The vice-director said, "He is a monster even greater than Kayden."
All the present professors at the World Academy remained silent, scared and nervous about the events that had occurred.
Lucy Bourdon asked, "Have the organizations and families involved with the World Association of Awakened Ones said anything about this?"
Matthew Long replied, "They should. We cannot leave any loose ends. With Kayden, it's enough. Surely his disciple will follow in his footsteps."
Terry Miller commented, "We can't let another maniac roam free."
Garis Luteroine interrupted, "Silence."
A silence fell in the room.
"We won't do anything for now. We don't know how strong Kayden is. Besides, the World Association of Awakened Ones should take care of this matter, not us. But if you want to intervene, I won't stop you," said Garis Luteroine.
Frank Mude analyzed the situation and commented, "Leave it to the World Association?..."
Lucy Bourdon said, "It may be, but... will it be the best decision?"
"Kayden has stopped fighting for a while. It's not because he doesn't want to, but because nobody in the top 30 and 20 has accepted his challenges. And lately, he's been causing trouble in the territories of the awakened ones who didn't accept his challenges," informed the vice-director.
"Causing trouble?" said Frank Mude surprised.
The vice-director replied, "Yes, it's said that he's starting to look for trouble with them, forcing the awakened ones of the world's top to fight with him."
"The actions and attitudes are generating a lot of instability in the world. It's necessary to have everything under control before eliminating secondary problems."
Garis Luteroine affirms that we should first allow the World Association to deal with Kayden, as he is much stronger than his disciple.
Everyone agrees.
According to Luteroine, "We must let them weaken with Kayden to obtain the greatest possible benefits from this worldwide scandal that is gradually forming."
[South Korea]
Han Seongik reflected on the powerful disciple of Kayden, rumored to be only 17 years old. "That little kid named Ares, they even gave him the nickname Emperor," said Han, "in the last fight he showed incredible power. Kayden has found a true monster among monsters."
[Where Ares]
Meanwhile, Ares was in the presence of Kayden and asked, "Kayden, what are we going to do now? I want to keep challenging the best in the world."
Kayden replied, "Yes, you should continue challenging the awakened ones of the world ranking. In the next few days, I will challenge the number 29 myself and I won't stop until I've challenged all the awakened ones of the world ranking that I want."
Ares nodded and asked, "What if I'm attacked while you're facing other awakened ones?"
Kayden replied, "At that moment, you will be challenging other awakened ones of the world ranking. You must be careful. It will be your weakest moment and they won't care about honor. You must be prepared."
Ares respectfully nodded and said, "I understand, Mr. Kayden."
[A few days later]
In an abandoned residential area, a white-haired young man watched attentively as four people stood in front of him.
"Who are these ants that dare to waste my valuable time?" Ares said angrily.
Alexandru said, "Who would have thought I'd run into you?"
Fidel added, "Ares... the disciple of Kayden Break."
Bernabe laughed. "HAHAHA, what luck we have."
Ali said, "Let's see what this little kid is made of."
Ares asked, "So you know me... What should I do with you? Should I kill you?"
"Who does this brat think he is?" Ali said angrily.
Bernabe proudly said, "We're not like the other awakened ones you faced, we belong to Salamandra," and Ali nodded.
"So arrogant in front of Pressure, you don't know how big we are," said Alexandru, looking down on Ares.
"What? Pressure and Salamandra? HAHAHAHAHA," Ares said, laughing maniacally.
Fidel asked, "What's wrong with this crazy person?
"Ali said, "Damn madman."
"Don't you know who I am... By stopping me, your only salvation is to die," Ares said arrogantly as he released a golden aura with rays of light that cracked the surrounding houses.
"(Celestial Punishment), you should be grateful to be killed by me," Ares said, looking down on them.
Most of the sky lit up with a powerful golden light surrounded by many rays of light, appearing above the four people, descending towards them and shaking the entire area.
"This huge power (inverted gravity)," Ali said scared.
"This attack (gravity field)," said Bernabe nervously.
"Shit... (animal transformation)," Fidel said worriedly.
"(Animal transformation)," said Alexandru, trembling.
The two members of Pressure released powerful attacks towards the rays of light to try to deflect them, while those of Salamandra changed their human form to that of a werewolf about two meters tall, with a lot of hair on their arms and chests.
The clash of the attacks caused four nearby houses to collapse, leaving only rubble and enormous destruction.
Four severely injured figures, covered in blood all over their bodies, lay on the ground around a destroyed and burned area from an enormous power.
Ares approached the people with his hands behind his back, very calm. "Is that all you've got? It was very disappointing for members of two fairly famous organizations like Silver and Salamandra."
"Don't kill us... if you don't want to have problems with us," Ali said with difficulty.
"You don't know who you're messing with," said Alexandru.
"They're pretty arrogant in the situation they're in," said Ares.
"But I'll grant your wish," Ares said.
Ali responded with a simple "Okay..." while Alexandru offered some words of encouragement, saying "You're doing the right thing."
Ares, meanwhile, seemed to enjoy his power over others, saying with a maniacal laugh, "I'll grant your wishes to die by playing with me."
Suddenly, a powerful beam of light hit them, leaving only traces of blood on the ground.
Ares continued speaking, "You weak ones served me well. By challenging me, I'll make sure Salamandra's president, Youssef, and Axel Vance of Pressure disappear, and their organizations with them."
