Ch. 37 [Sean Harris vs Jack Reuv Smith]

'He reminds me of my son,' thought Sean who felt a tightness in his heart.

No follow-up conversation. Sean chose to remain silent while thinking about what he would do when faced with this man full of charm. Although in his heart, he still remembers his wife and children.

Noah's voice filled his ears again. "I suggest you use a spear."

Sean wasn't focused yet and his brain, which had been thinking about finding a way to beat the man named Jack Reuv Smith, suddenly went blank. The man was slow to respond with his mouth agape. Smiling awkwardly and staring innocently at Altair Noah Ortiz.

"Eh?"

Spontaneously he let out a sound from his mouth. Still with that awkward smile.

"What are you saying?" Sean asked. He didn't quite understand what Noah had just said to him.

"I suggest you use a spear," Noah repeated with a straight face.

"Huh?!" Sean's mouth fell open. Hearing the advice that came out of the mouth of the man who rarely smiled sincerely.

The one he saw nodded his head steadily. A face that looked like there was no zest for life. Running a boring day can be seen from his midnight express irises.

"Why all of a sudden!?" Sean asked.

Sean Harris. A 30-year-old man, wearing glasses, the color of his brown hair matches the color of his irises. For 30 years he has never learned to use a spear, he has never even wielded a sword or a tool of war.

'I have no spear skills. Never seen the shape in person,' he thought with a worried face.

'Is Noah joking?'

Sean looked into Noah's eyes. However, the look in the man's eyes suggested it was full of conviction. There was no doubt in those eyes at all and Noah even nodded his head to make Sean even more convinced.

'There is no doubt in his eyes. Should I follow his advice?' he thought.

"If you don't want to use it, I bet you'll lose in one hit. Jack Reuv Smith is an expert in martial arts," Noah said as if he was warning Sean to be careful with the guy named Jack.

"I'm saying this because previously you also helped me before the fight with Gerald Gardenium," he said.

Sean replied to Noah with a nod. Understand with the intention of the man with blood AB to him, repay the kindness that Sean gave him.

"I'm not good at martial arts, and even..." Sean paused.

Staring at the empty palm of his right hand. His eyes slowly emitted a green light and now on his empty palm, a green plant stalk began to wrap around his wrist.

"I'm grateful to have experienced [Awakening] too," Sean said honestly to Noah.

"Is that a plant?" Noah asked as he saw the plant begin to wrap around Sean's wrist.

The questioner nodded his head. Confirmed what was asked by the man in front of him.

The plant disappears by melting with the air. Somehow it can disappear, but clearly, people who experience [Awakening] can also be called magicians. However, with the hologram appearing in front of them, it was more suitable to be called a [Player] or a [Hunter].

"Yes, my [Element] is a [Plant Element]," he said.

"Why are those eyes glowing green too? Isn't the green one of the [Basic Elements], [Wind Element]?"

Noah was curious about the distribution of [Basic Elements] that Sean explained this morning. Hearing her question, Sean nodded his head. Confirming the man's question and making Noah confused. You can see from his knitted brows.

Seeing the man, Sean smiled. He looked up at the blue sky, which was now getting cloudy. Worry welled up in him. Will [Dungeon Break] or what the common people call the portal that unites the human world with the other worlds will appear when they -Sean Harris and Jack Reuv Smith- fight?

"I'll explain later," he said.

Noah just nodded his head. Understood what Sean said and chose not to continue their conversation. That's because the time to prepare is over and waiting for his voice to come down to immediately descend.

"The time to prepare is over. Please take the weapons to be used and immediately descend to the battle arena."

The MC or the man named Eldan finally made a sound. It sounded clear to each listener's ears because Eldan used his [Sound Element] namely [Skill Louders]. [Skill] where the owner's voice will be enlarged and can be heard within the desired range of the owner.

Sean, who was now fighting to determine his level, finally walked over to where the weapons were displayed for the fighter to use.

From above; precisely in the audience, Noah watched the fight between Sean and Jack in the arena. His hand moved to his hoodie which had fallen backward earlier and covered his jet black hair.

The wind blew against his face, making some people feel sleepy, but the heart didn't want to sleep because they had to watch and judge the one-on-one fights of the invitees. Although, some have gone home.

Ah, those who have returned home are the ones who have obtained their grade level. Already knowing what their class is and waiting for the day they will be inducted and attend the Hunter Academy. Then, it becomes a [Hunter] and will act when ordered to immediately descend.

[][][][][]

The two men who possessed different [Elements] were now standing opposite each other. Warming up from small is like stretching the muscles of his hands and feet, then his head.

On; precisely where the audience seats were, people started talking about the two [Hunter] candidates down there. Whisper and guess who will win this time. Some are willing to bet even though they don't know what [Element] the two [Hunter] candidates have.

Noah, who was also a spectator, witnessed two people he knew. Sean Harris who he just met and Jack Reuv Smith who is his college friend and a school friend who always makes fun of his weaknesses.

Thinking about Jack Reuv Smith, the man with the nickname Jack still gave off his charm. Even the men watching were disgusted by her attitude. Either it could be said to be envious of his natural good looks, or something else.

Noah's eyes looked down. Looking at the man standing while flexing his muscles and exuding that charm with deep hatred. Even though they are friends in the same department, but still, the hatred that makes life complicated can't be lost in Noah's heart.

Noah who originally wanted to hide his identity from the people he knew would now be exposed today. It was because he had appeared to fight with one of the children of the company he was also famous for. Gardenium company is in the plantation sector.

Jack might have known of his [Awakening] and the [Element] he had manipulated. The man who became her hatred might have known that she possessed the [Wind Element]. And he might have known that Noah was at the Ebuh Class level; is the lowest grade level in the Hunter Academy.

The sheer number of possibilities made Noah's brow furrow. His brows knit together as a result of guessing the outcome that he wouldn't know if the person didn't ask or say something.

'Does he know me?'

Of course yes, right?

The referee, whose name was Waltz, started the fight. Allowing the two people who were invited to fight and find out what level they deserve.

The fight begins with Sean and Jack attacking simultaneously. As seen from above, two people with different [Elements] were attacking each other. Sean experienced [Awakening] and got [Plants Element]. As he said. Whereas Jack also experienced [Awakening] and obtained [Element of Steel]. It can be seen from his body which is covered by a gray object and it looks like if you touch it, it will feel very hard.

'Jack Reuv Smith. Looks like he's a [Steel Element],' thought Noah as he saw his hard and shiny body.

The man wearing a short-sleeved shirt with jeans darted toward Sean, the [Plants Element] user. Tried to grab the [Plants Element] user's neck, but failed due to Sean's spear-wielding defense.

Noah who had not focused on seeing Sean widened his eyes slightly. Interested to see the battle of two different [Element] users and different fighting styles as well.

'He heard my advice,' he thought, his heartfelt happiness when someone followed his advice. Even though Sean is still 30 years old, Noah calls him casually.

Sean who tried to dodge Jack's attack began to struggle. His body was not trained to be agile, not trained to fight, even to use a spear he did not understand.

With the origin of Sean using the spear. While cursing the choices he made.

'Ugh! Using this spear was very troublesome! Why is that kid suggesting me to use a spear!?' he thought, starting to feel sorry for his choice.

Jack still threw his attacks trying to punch Sean's vitals. Attempt to punch the head, face, chest, or stomach. However, thanks to Sean's good reflexes, he managed to dodge Jack's attacks with the spear. Without realizing it.

'I have to do something!' he thought with a hunch that he would get a punch from the sleeve of the man's shirt that was attacking him so hard.
