The Man Who Walked Into the Warfield

Chapter 89: The Man Who Walked Into the Warfield

🔥 World Combat Tournament – Battlefield Observation Zone

✔ The warfield was still active.✔ Fighters were analyzing past battles.✔ Spectators watched, discussing strategies.

💀 But no one expected what happened next. 💀

A lone warrior walked across the battlefield.

✔ No hesitation.✔ No caution.✔ Moving as if he owned the place.

🔥 And then—he stopped in front of two people. 🔥

💀 Rei Kurogane and Kozuki Renjou. 💀

An Uninvited Guest

Kozuki glanced up, hands in his pockets.

Kozuki: "Tch. And you are?"

The man didn't answer immediately.

✔ He wasn't dressed like the others.✔ He wore a simple combat gi, no unnecessary armor.✔ His presence alone felt heavier than anyone else's.

Rei's eyes narrowed slightly.

Rei (thinking): His stance… relaxed, but ready. No wasted movement. No unnecessary breathing.

🔥 This guy wasn't normal. 🔥

The man finally spoke.

Asura Warrior: "You're Aether Academy's strongest?"

🔥 He ignored the crowd. Ignored everyone else. His focus was entirely on them. 🔥

Rei remained silent.

Kozuki, however, smirked.

Kozuki: "Heh. You looking for a fight?"

The man didn't react.

Asura Warrior: "Not today."

🔥 The way he said it—so casual, so absolute—made the air heavier. 🔥

Rei crossed his arms.

Rei: "Then why are you here?"

💀 And then—the warfield fell completely silent. 💀

Because the man finally introduced himself.

The Name That Shook the Battlefield

The Asura warrior lifted his gaze, his voice carrying across the entire observation zone.

Asura Warrior: "I am Viraj Rathore of Asura War Academy."

🔥 Whispers erupted instantly. 🔥

Student 1 (shocked): "W-Wait… VIRAJ RATHORE?!"Student 2 (stunned): "The Asura King… is here?"Student 3 (nervous): "Why is he talking to Aether Academy?"

💀 The strongest fighter of Asura War Academy had arrived. 💀

Kozuki raised an eyebrow.

Kozuki: "Never heard of you."

Viraj smirked.

Viraj: "You will."

🔥 His confidence wasn't arrogance—it was certainty. 🔥

Rei, meanwhile, was already analyzing.

✔ Asura War Academy was known for producing survivalists.✔ Only those who won life-or-death battles were allowed to stay.✔ And the strongest of them… had come to challenge Aether.

Rei: "You didn't answer my question."

Viraj: "I'll get to the point."

💀 His next words sent a chill through the entire warfield. 💀

Viraj: "I want to fight you both."

🔥 The warfield exploded with noise. 🔥

Student 4 (laughing nervously): "Did he just—ask to fight both of them at once?!"Student 5 (grinning): "Tch… either he's insane, or he's a monster."Student 6 (serious): "No. He's from Asura. That means he's both."

Rei and Kozuki exchanged glances.

Kozuki (grinning): "Heh. You're bold, I'll give you that."

Viraj: "Tomorrow. You and Kurogane. Against me."

💀 He wasn't suggesting it. He was declaring it. 💀

🔥 The entire battlefield had just turned its attention to Aether Academy. 🔥

The Moment the World Took Notice

🔥 Asura War Academy had never taken an interest in Aether before.

✔ But now—their strongest had come personally.✔ Now—everyone watching the tournament was paying attention.✔ Now—the world was about to see if Aether Academy could stand against true monsters.

📢 Live broadcast screens displayed the moment across the globe.

💀 Every major academy reacted. 💀

Valhalla Combat Institute – The Painless Soldiers React

Inside a frozen training facility, a Russian commander leaned forward.

Valhalla Commander: "Tch. He's already making moves."

A female student beside him smirked.

Valhalla Student: "So, what do you think? Will Aether survive?"

🔥 The commander simply grinned. 🔥

Valhalla Commander: "Let's watch."

Behemoth Military Academy – The War Machines React

A massive, scarred man sat in front of a massive screen, watching.

Behemoth Captain (grinning): "Well, well… looks like Aether's getting attention from the big dogs."

A soldier beside him hesitated.

Behemoth Soldier: "Do you think they stand a chance?"

🔥 The captain just laughed. 🔥

Behemoth Captain: "Not a damn one."

💀 But he was excited to watch anyway. 💀

Back on the Battlefield – The Final Words

Viraj turned away.

✔ He had made his challenge.✔ He had no doubt they would accept.✔ To him, the result was already decided.

But before he left, Rei finally spoke.

Rei: "Why us?"

🔥 There were stronger fighters here. So why choose them? 🔥

Viraj glanced back.

Viraj: "Because you two think you can challenge the world."

🔥 He started walking away. 🔥

Viraj: "I want to see if that's true."

💀 Tomorrow—Aether Academy would face its greatest test yet. 💀
