Chapter 132 An assassin
After a few minutes of walking, Jake was now finally in front of the hand to hand combat club. He pushed the gate and walked in surprisingly, Sergeant Sunny wasn't standing in front of the gate waiting for him.
"Strange, why is the sergeant not here yet?" Jake asked himself as he slowly walked towards the building while carefully looking around.
Before he stepped in, he had equipped his sword from his system as he had a bad feeling. Before opening the door, Jake could hear noises inside the room as if someone was struggling with another.
"Is sergeant Sunny fighting against someone? But he is a sergeant, there are not many people who can go toe to toe with him and make him struggle all except the generals or hear generals."
Jake then gently opened the door and could see Sergeant Sunny fighting against someone that was dressed in all black. He was quite struggling against the person and he was even injured while the all black person was quite okay.
Jake then saw the man was managing to over power sergeant Sunny and he had even managed to knock Sergeant Sunny down on one knee and he was panting hard for breath.
Then the man dashed towards Sergeant Sunny to swing his sword at his neck but when the man's sword was now a few inches away from his neck, the man felt like his sword hit steel.
And then standing in front of him was a person clad in a black robe that was torn in places and he had a metal mask on his face with his sword out blocking the hit from touching Sergeant Sunny.
"Who are you?" The mysterious man asked with his voice slightly altered.
The masked figure turned to look at sergeant Sunny who was still surprised then he turned back to look at the attacker.
"They call me The Werewolf Slayer." Jake said as he dashed forward while pushing the man off his sword.
Just a few moments ago, Jake was seeing the man overpowering Sergeant Sunny and Jake was currently going through the options of what to do in his head.
Wanting to save sergeant Sunny's life, Jake quickly equipped his robe, mask, sword and gauntlet just Incase he lost his sword in the fight.
Therefore equipping the identity of the werewolf slayer. Then he saw the mysterious man heading towards sergeant Sunny about to swing his sword towards his neck.
Then Jake quickly came in and blocked the strike with his own sword then he pushed the man away and dashed towards him with full speed.
Sergeant Sunny who was on his knees heard the name the mysterious masked fellow said.
'Werewolf slayer? Isn't he the same figure they said helped all those soldiers? And he is the same person General Paul said managed to chase the Beta werewolf away.' Sunny thought.
'If it's him against this figure, then I'm sure the werewolf slayer will win. But, how on Earth is the werewolf slayer still in this academy? Is he a high ranking military official?' Sunny thought as he looked at the fight that was about to happen now.
After pushing the mysterious man away making him stumble, Jake dashed towards him with all his speed and then swung his sword but the man managed to regain his footing and block the hit.
But the man was skidding from the strength of the attack.
'How's this possible? How does he have this much strength? I'm even using Qi to supplement my strength but he is still overpowering me.' The assassin thought.
Unknown to the assassin was that Jake had gone through so much, his Qi was currently strong and his strength also was very high.
Disengaging, Jake moved back a metre. That was the first motion of the triple threat technique then the assassin charged right at Jake and then swung his sword at him but Jake just pivoted sideways avoiding the strike and also doing the second motion.
Then Jake quickly lunged forward performing the third move as he struck the assassin on his shoulder sending him reeling in pain. Jake dashed forward again towards the assassin who was now slowly getting up from the ground with his sword in front of him.
The assassin finally got up and he could see that Jake was upon him with a strike to the neck but he easily avoided the strike and gave Jake a kick to the hand making him drop his sword far away from him.
Jake turned around and his face was met with a kick that sent him skidding a few inches.
"Now let's see how well you can fight without your sword." The assassin said as he dashed towards Jake who was smiling beneath the mask.
The man swung his sword but Jake managed to avoid it by leaning back then he threw a powerful right handed hook that landed on the assassin's stomach knocking the wind out of his mouth.
Then Jake moved around behind the assassin who was still standing strong even after that hook.
Jake then waited not moving which confused sergeant Sunny but the assassin didn't care as he charged right ahead at Jake.
The man was now a foot away from Jake and he swung his sword then Jake used his intermediate gauntlets to block the hit but there was still a scratch on it.
'That means he is using a high level sword.' Jake thought as he pushed the man's hand away.
Then Jake threw a quick Jab cross and hook towards his face so fast and strong that the man was lifted of his feet and sent flying while Sunny's face was widened in surprise.
'He just used my Snake bite skill, I never taught it to anyone other than…' Sunny thought as his eyes now widened.
'Jake! He is the werewolf slayer. How is this possible? Hold on, let's not jump to conclusions.' Sunny thought as he watched the werewolf's slayer's next move.
The assassin charged right back at Jake again then he threw his sword lightning fast at Jake that landed on his stomach but to the assassin's surprise, it didn't draw blood.

Unknown to the assassin, Jake had activated Shield of will therefore blocking the strike. Taking advantage of the assassin's momentarily confusion, Jake moved the Qi to his fists.
Then he closed his eyes for a second imagining his fists as a cannon then he shot out his Qi from his fists lightning fast just like he was taught by Kron.
The Qi smashed into the assassin who didn't see it until it was too late. The Qi strike smashed into the assassin flinging him out through the window and landed outside the room.
"Woah! This is the strength of the Qi burst taught to us by Kron!" Jake almost shouted but he regained his composure as he could see Sunny heading towards the window.
"He's gone." Sunny said as he turned to look at Jake.
"Too bad. Anyway, you're welcome Mr… sergeant." Jake said.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Drop the ridiculous act Jake, I know it's you." Sunny said.
"Jake? Who's Jake?" Jake asked scratching his head nervously but Sunny's face showed he wasn't buying it as he stared intensely at Jake.
"Fine." Jake said as he de-equipped his mask and robe making them disappear into his system and making Sunny stunned.
"How did you do that?" Sunny asked looking like an excited kid that just saw Santa's real identity therefore forgetting his injuries.
"Uhm, it's a long story and I don't really feel comfortable saying it." Jake said scratching his hair.
"I totally get it. If you don't want to tell me, it's okay." Sunny said as he slowly sat down cross legged trying to meditate and recover his Qi so as to heal his wounds.
"So how did you figure it out? That I'm the werewolf slayer." Jake asked as he also sat down.
"It doesn't take a genius to figure it out after seeing you use my snake bite skill that I taught you and only you." Sunny said still with his eyes closed.
"But who was that man and why is he after your life?" Jake asked again.
"To be honest, I don't know. He just came in here threatened me, and a fight occured between us which I obviously lost and was about to lose my life until you came and saved me." Sunny replied while his wounds were now closing quite fast.
"What was the words he threatened you with?" Jake asked.
"I think he asked for who you were. Knowing you were my student, he wanted to know everything about you." Sunny said getting up.
"About me? But why?" Jake asked as he stood up.
Sunny just shrugged. "I don't know."
'But why will someone be after my information? Who could it be? Could it be Alex? Did he betray me to his family?' Jake thought as he clenched his hands tightly.
'I knew I shouldn't have taken it lightly with him knowing he was related to the leader of the Slade family. I think it's time I taught him a lesson.' Jake thought as he lifted his head with a plan forming in his mind.
