Chapter 143 - 143 - Mock Battle [ Part 1 ]
As they were walking William suddenly had a thought as he smiled mischievously.
"You sure are knowledgeable about houses, aren\'t you Genna?"
"Umm… What do you mean by that?" Genna asked, confused by his meaning.
"Well you just told me the best place to fight in my villa… despite never coming over here to begin with."
William looked at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Both Genna and Hannah were now shocked by his deduction and both of them started to sweat.
"Are you sure you guys haven\'t been here before?"
"Ah- Ah, What do you mean?... of course we haven\'t been here before right, Hannah." Genna said and looked for help from Hannah.
Hannah who suddenly got caught in the middle, just looked at the two people and started becoming more red as the second passed.
William looked at their horrified faces and knew that he should stop now.
"Alright if that\'s what you guys say then I believe you."
Hearing that both Genna and Hannah became relieved as they gave a long sigh.
Genna then looked at William from behind and thought.
\'Can\'t have him know that we have been over here countless times and that this was a good hide-out space for us. I can\'t get caught when I still haven\'t made a good impression of myself.\'
Then Genna looked at Hannah and nodded as Hannah too nodded as well, Signifying that they had made a pact at that very place, unknown to them William knew very well what was happening behind him as he smiled at their antics.
All of them arrived beside the pool, which had been recently cleaned and refurbished and now looked very beautiful because of its huge space and an intricate design that was etched on the middle of the pool which now looked even more beautiful because it was being shown as hazy under the water.
Both William and Genna took positions beside the opposite ends of the pool as they awaited what would clearly be fun for one and disaster for another.
Genna smiled greatly like a tomboy she was and expected to impress William by bounds as she would show him her formidable strength.
William on the other hand looked back at his stats and thought for a moment what he should do and shouldn\'t do.
\'Hmm… I don\'t know what level she is at this moment but looking at her age, I have to assume she\'s still at the end of first level or close to the expert realm of the second level.\'
\'That means I shouldn\'t hit her too aggressively or it might be problematic for me to explain why I beat a girl who I was supposed to babysit.\'
\'And I also can\'t use any of my spells either as now I have the \'Penetration\' skill. Which is very very useful to me but in mock battles like this it would only put people in front of me in place of great danger.\'
\'So this is going to be one of those boring fights isn\'t it?\'
Genna looked at William and smiled hugely while showing him her glistening white teeth and took a position as she crouched her body a little and brought her right hand forward and her left hand backwards.
\'So… she is a melee fighter then. Should have known from just seeing her attitude.\'
William looked at her posture and also thought of doing a posture but in the end stopped himself as he just took a casual pose and stood there with a nonchalant expression.
Genna looked at him and thought, \'Why isn\'t he taking up a position? Can\'t he see that I am ready to start my action.\'
"Aren\'t you going to use a fighting stance?"
"I want to, but I can\'t."
"Hmm… why can\'t you?"
"Well… I don\'t know any fighting stance to use actually." William said as he laughed awkwardly.
Hearing him, Genna sighed before she also dropped her stance as well and said, "Alright then I won\'t also use my stance."
As both of them got ready, Hannah looked at them one last time from above the balcony and gave the sign.
"Alright then at 1."
"3… 2…"
Both of the persons beside them looked for any kind of advantage over the other.
"...1"
At the drop of count, William didn\'t have to wait as Genna jumped and quickly ran in front of him and punched right at his face.
Hannah looked at that and thought while dreading the outcome, \'NOT THE FACE!"
And as Genna was sure that her punch was about to hit the guy, William quickly moved just slightly to his right as he avoided the punch barely by just one inch.
Genna brought her hand back and waited for the retaliation but didn\'t get any so she again punched him but the guy dodged her punch again.
As she kept on punching him faster and faster, the outcome was still the same as the guy always dodged the punches at the last moment making Genna more frustrated at the guy.
\'What the hell is with him just dodging my punches and not fighting back, is he scared or something?\'
"Why aren\'t you fighting back?" Genna asked as she kept on punching him.
"Well at the way this is going I don\'t need to, I can just tire you out." William said while dodging all of her punches at the last moment.
"Alright then I\'m not going to hold back then." Genna said and punched at her strongest and as fast as she could.
William looked at the punch and knew that it was faster than the ones before… but for him, they were still in slow motion.
He looked at her punch coming towards him in slow motion and thought excitedly, \'SO this is what an OP person feels when he is fighting someone obviously weaker than him.\'
\'I could get used to this.\' As the punch arrived at the moment of contact William immediately slid away from its path by moving to the left and dodging it again by one inch.
Genna became irritated as she looked at this and screamed at him, "Why don\'t you just fight back for once, Are you scared or what?"
William didn\'t get angry at her taunt but he still said, "You sure about that… okay then."
"Here I come."
Hearing him, Genna got ready for the counterattack but in the next moment she saw a punch that was right in front of her and was about to hit her ay point-blank range.
She closed her eyes as she waited for the pain to come towards her but even after a few moments she didn\'t feel anything.
She opened her eyes to see that William was smiling in front of her as he said, "Now then..."
"Do you still want me to fight?"
