Chapter 76: A clear winner

Before the punch could land on Diwena, Demo throws a kick aimed at Sachem's head. The kick is blocked by Sachem's arm. Demo and Sachem then start exchanging attacks. Demo's attacks are becoming smoother and cleaner with each strike. His rotation speed and weight shifting are slowly becoming muscle memory and thus speeding up his movements.

Sachem can tell that Demo is improving. He throws two body hook shots that land, and Demo keels over in pain. My-Ty jumps over Demo and throws a downward punch. Sachem punches at the same time, and the collision of their fists creates a small shockwave, but Sachem wins the exchange.

Braverte looks at Pulmo with a disappointed look on his face.

"Is this seriously the level of our students? I feel like we should give them some MYOS to help them out. Because this is just embarrassing. They making me look bad."

Pulmo doesn't answer but just keeps watching the fight. My-Ty lands and is immediately hit in the face with a right hook and falls to the ground. Diwena attacks with a horizontal slash, but Sachem ducks under it and turns around and throws a body uppercut followed by a left hook, which plants Diwena into the ground.

Braverte stands up and starts walking towards Sachem.

"Yeah, that's enough. Sachem, I have some questions."

Sachem looks at Braverte approaching him. He knows that Braverte is a fighter infamous for his strength and skills. If he has any chance of winning, he is going to have to go all out from the very beginning. He takes up a Philly shell stance and readies his attack.

He throws a combination of flicker jabs, and each jab creates a burst of energy that attacks Braverte. The attacks are like streams of lights that are aimed at the principal. Braverte smiles and chuckles as the attacks close in on him. Once they are within range, he uses his right hand to flick and parry each attack.

Sachem sees what's happening and is shocked. But he knew that this wouldn't be easy. Sachem lowers his head and does his patented zig zag pattern and closes in on Braverte at top speed. Braverte runs straight forward, grabs Sachem's head mid zig zag and slams his head into the ground. After the slam, Braverte takes 3 steps forward and then turns back around to face Sachem.

"Who is the leader of Chayil?"

Sachem jumps up and dashes backward.

"How do you know that name?"

"I have my resources. I've tussled with your group a few times back in the day. But you guys never did stuff like this before. So, let me ask you again, who is your god?"

Sachem starts jumping in place and uses extreme speed to close in on Braverte. But again, Braverte runs straight forward and grabs Sachem's head and slams it into the ground.

"Ok, if you won't tell me who your god is, who is the man in charge of this dimension?"

Sachem jumps back up and backwards. He is pretty injured this time around. Sachem goes into his pocket and takes a black mouthpiece. He puts the mouthpiece in and bites down. The moment he bites down, the lines in his face extend down to his neck until they reach his hands. He immediately goes back on the attack. Braverte once again slams Sachem's head into the ground.

"If you don't want to tell me who is in charge, then at least tell me who trained you. Who is your master?"

"SHO' NUFF!"

Everybody turns their head to look at Ugly Face, who for some reason screamed that. Ugly Face has a slightly confused look on his face as well as he raises his shoulders. Braverte looks back to Sachem; the two are also slightly confused. But since he didn't get an answer, he decides to ask it again.

"So, who is your master?"

"SHO' NUFF!"

Again, everyone turns to face Ugly Face, whose hand is still over his mouth like he tried to amplify his voice. Demo has to express his confusion.

"Dude?"

Ugly Face again raises his shoulders.

"I don't know, it just feels appropriate to say that."

"Now is not the time."

"My bad."

Braverte is unclear on what exactly is going on.

"Sachem, let me ask you one more time."

He looks directly at Ugly Face with a threatening look. Ugly Face immediately looks away because he knows he was wrong. Braverte turns his focus back on Sachem.

"Who…"

He immediately looks back to Ugly Face, who has his hand prepared to scream something again. Ugly Face slowly lowers his hands. Braverte then looks back at Sachem.

"Who is your master?"

Under his breath, Ugly Face whispers.

"Sho' Nuff."

"I can't tell you that. If I break my promise, I'm dead."

"I don't know if you've noticed, but it's pretty much over for you either way."

"I'm not going out without a fight."

Braverte smiles at the threat of a kid who doesn't yet know how big the world is. Since he knows that Chayil is behind this, and Bilicus' family was abducted. They must have used someone to keep him in check and remind him of the threat. That man actually had the audacity to introduce himself when they crossed paths. Braverte remembers his name.

"Castitas."

Hearing the name, Sachem's eyes open up fully in shock. Which tells Braverte all he needs to know.

"There we go. Where is he?"

"I don't know."

"How do you contact him?"

"I don't."

"So, you will keep quiet until the very end?"

"I don't have a choice."

"Then let me help you find some peace."

Sachem readies himself for another attack.
