"Boom!"
The ground caved in she instantly disappeared from her previous position.
In the blink of an eye, she was before David. Stretching forth her arms, she immediately grab onto his shoulder, intending to capture him and also for interrogation.
"Eh?" she suddenly let out a surprise cry as she felt her finger grab only air. She was momentarily stunned.
Although she had only used half of her thorough strength, she still expected to have caught him but much to her surprise, it appears as though her speed wasn't fast enough.
"What are you trying to do?" by now, David's face had darkened. He didn't expect her to attack so suddenly, Weren't they still talking?
Startled, Phyllida turn backwards and sh remained silent for a few seconds. "I've underestimated your strength. But sadly for you? I only make mistake once!"
She flitted forwards toward la David like a giant butterfly. Her steps were both elegant and graceful and most importantly, agile. She wasted no effort at all and she was already before David.
This time, she still grabbed at his shoulder but her speed was more than double the previous one. She was like a forest ghost and her movement like an apparition.
"Humph!" David snorted immediately and all of a sudden, he caught Phyllida's tiny little wrist that was about to hold his shoulder in his hands.
"You should be careful what you wish for or you might not be able to handle the consequences." David whispered lightly, but his lips didn't seem to move.
Phyllida's eyes widened. She had used more than 80% of her strength, and even lightly used her motion technique to increase her speed, but shockingly for her, she still could not grab onto that shoulder.
Back at the institute, she had measured his strength thorough during different spars in combat lessons and had calculated that he was her match, but what is happening right now? Her mind spun rapidly as she thought of a certain possibility. 'Was he hiding his true strength back then?'
It was then she stayed quiet did she notice something odd, his heartbeat.
Her face changed suddenly and her heart chilled. Without hesitation she activated the Combat Suit increasing her overall strength and she yelled.
"Butterfly flick, Second flick!" she opened up her palm like a blooming flower slightly and pointed two of her fingers, lightly tapping on his arms.
David frowned slightly as he vigorously shook his blood and muscles, producing incredible heat. He immediately sent palm towards he pointed finger, instantly swatting the technique away as though he was chasing away some annoying flies.
But as he repelled her fingers, a foreign force instantly invaded his body his body shook and he seem to feel a sort of weakness creeping in from his hand to his whole body.
"Uhn?" David was very surprised. He had never expected that something like that could happen. Although he hadn't activated the bronze body yet. His defences wasn't something a foreign energy could invade.
Even after he destroyed the paralysis force with his own force, he could feel that it wasn't thorough destroyed and was hiding somewhere in his body, waiting for a time to burst out of it got an opportunity to.
An ordinary black grade combat technique doesn't have such force which meant that it was of the brown Grade category. Only those above that level could manage to infiltrate his current defence. Although not highly likely to.
But that was impossible. Training a brown Grade technique to the second stage for that short a time, it was practically impossible. 'What did she do? Practice combat techniques when she was still a baby?'
But David didn't know he was almost close to the truth, she had practiced a simplified version when she was little and by now, she had built a solid foundation. Practicing and mastering the true technique to the highest state for a few months, wasn't practically smooth sailing for her.
'Interesting.' David licked his lips in a contained excitement. It had been long he fought some truly worthy opponent that are human.
He wanted to see how strong he had gotten, compared to other genius students in the institute.
Suddenly speaking out loud. "Phyllida, although I don't know what you are talking about, you have taken things too far by attacking me first and I have no other choice but to retaliate." His voice contained a hidden excitement within and as his voice landed. He moved.
His punch was straight and direct, without the use of the any combat skills whatsoever but due to his experiences, his punch seem to have evolved and appear to have been released from a very tricky angle, making it almost impossible to block it.
Phyllida squinted her eyes saw it. But she wasn't at all intimidated, throughout her childhood, she had spent majority of them practicing the simplified Exercising techniques and another part of her time training under different combat teachers.
A common and experienced technique coming from a newbie wasn't going to phase her. But she was puzzled the way moved, it seem to contain a certain type of rhythm that seem to spell out 'Expert' as though he was an experienced combat master.
"Bang!"
Al of a sudden, Phyllida caught his fist straight within her palms. But her face shifted as she felt enormous strength passed through her body from that fist, but the Combat Suit she was wearing instantly hardened and immediately transferring the force to the ground through some method.
The ground beneath her cracked with a muffled boom as the strength being transfered into her body was forcefully conducted to the ground by the suit. It was some sort of protection.
But that still wasn't enough to prevent her palm from getting scorched red.
Yes, he had used scorching heat at the last moment.
She instantly withdraw backwards a few meters. Her expression beneath the helmet had turned grave, she couldn't believe she could not win against David in the contest of strength even when she had the Combat Suit on.
The Combat Suit had increased her strength significantly and according to her calculations, no one in the entire map right now should be able to counter her in Strength, so it came as an absolute shock for her when David repelled her without even breaking a sweat.
She was horrified, David wasn't even putting on his helmet, and according to the rules, the strengthening effect of the combat suit shouldn't be working on him. So how was he stronger than her.
She really wanted to ask 'How are you this strong?' she obviously calculated and could hear the blood flow of 150CPM and although she wasn't close to reaching that number, her combat Suit had added up the strength for her, making her practically stronger than those below 170-170 CPM. So how was David still stronger than her even when she was theoretically supposed to be stringer than him.
David smiled to her from the distance. "Can you tell me the person who sent you?" currently, the was the thing he was most worried about right now. The worry didn't even allow him to enjoy his fight against Phyllida, making him feel at a loss for what to do.
He just needed to know the person who sent her and then handle things more carefully and of there is an opportunity...
Phyllida's gloomy look vanished and it was replaced by a small smirk. "I already told you that we should exchange information. Tell me what you know about this 'Griffin' and I promise to tell you who sent me."
David smiled wearily as though he was tired. "I already told you that you have the wrong person, can't you just believe what I'm saying? Maybe that individual found me an eyesore and was looking for excuses to eliminate me, I don't know but there are different possibilities." David shrugged his shoulders and appeared quite helpless.
Phyllida frowned slightly and she wondered if what David said was true. But still, that person wouldn't resort to such means to eliminate a student. Which means, there is something he wanted from David but clearly didn't want to take the risk of exposing it.
And from the questions she was asked to interrogate him with, 'What are the behaviours of a Griffin, it's characteristics, and the likes.' She could guess that he wanted information form David.
But David seem to claim he knew nothing about it and he almost sounds genuine. Suddenly, she steeled her resolve and she removed such unnecessary thoughts from her head. Even if he knew or not, she just needed to perform what she had been told to do. Capture and interrogate him.
If he was lying, she would naturally know after the Interrogation and if he was telling the truth about not knowing anything, she just had to transfer the video clips to that person ad evidence and from there, there she could forget any thing about that had happened or she might just be cleaned up.
