Chapter 383

[28th Round] Fivefold Difference

Odin: It was an interesting performance.

Zeus: How did he win?

Allah: I have lost the desire to go on an adventure today. I should sleep.

Isis: This teacher is impressive! He even cooks well.

Luna: I knew my teacher would win ^^

The G-Cla.s.s Hero won the culinary duel with a dramatic comeback.

Immediately after that, I set out to spread the greatness of Mollans Teachings!

Mollans Revelation: Chapter 4, Verse 8. No matter how high you climb, he will always be above you.

Mollan.

Mollan.

I worked hard to earn a reputation for myself.

It wasnt easy since the local beliefs were deeply rooted in the Central Continents people, but not all of them were believers.

Heroes and their possible companions were prime examples.

They relied on themselves, believing in their genes instead of depending on a G.o.d.

Mermaid Aqua was one such case.

The wonderful Green Cake told me youre a Hero, so Ill believe it. But I must warn you now that I wont follow a weak Hero such as yourself.

I went to the large lake near Noebiuss nest, doing missionary work along the way.

Lake of Sorrowful Songs. Home to the largest population of freshwater mermaids in Fantasy.

The stupid fish in front of me dared say something nonsensical.

/p>

Weak Hero.

There was some truth in it, though. After all, the vessel those dastardly inspectors provided me with was absurdly useless.

But I am stronger than you.

Hohoho! I see youve decided to bluff. Since our meeting gave me the chance to gaze upon Green Cakes handsome face, Ill forgive you this time, but if you try to put pressure on my pride again, I cant promise Ill be able to hold myself back

Did you not understand me the first time? I am stronger than you.

Ho ho ho! I will make you greatly regret your words, Hero.

Ill make a great seafood dish out of you.

Sieg: This teacher is always in conflict with everyone

Isis: Oh, look whos speaking. Wheres the photo you promised us?

Luna: Hes not in conflict. Hes telling the truth, isnt he? Do you have no brains at all, Mr. Sieg?

Piko: Long live the Mollans Teachings! Long live Mollan!

I was behaving as I was supposed to.

I shared my knowledge about Master Mollans wisdom and greatness for free, but instead of thanking me, this fish provoked me, calling me a weak Hero.

My sense of justice boiled up in me!

Come on, little fish.

Oh? Fish?!

Ill save you from your idiotic habit of judging men by their level.

A mans attractiveness should be a.s.sessed not by their level but by the muscle keeping their spine straight.

If it were out of order, they would suffer from a hernia, rendering them unable to use their lower back normally.

/p>

What was stupid Aquas level?

Race: Ultra Mermaid

Level: 2059

Job: Hero (Experience 200%)

Skills: Spear Mastery ZZ, Heat Resistance Z, Speed Z, Singing MAX, Versatility MAX

Status: Taunted

Did she dare taunt the G-Cla.s.s Righteous Hero while merely being level 2000?

Her level was only five times higher than mine.

Allah: That much level difference is impossible to overcome in combat, isnt it?

Zeus: Werent you going to go to sleep?

Amon: Dont mind him. The problems of weaklings do not concern us. Whats important is we can easily defeat Aqua.

Odin: Our level has jumped past 2000, so our victory is a.s.sured. n.o.bodys arguing against that. But that teachers only level 400.

The tertiary education course students who tirelessly communicated in the mollanphone community seemed to have learned nothing at all.

I was the G-Cla.s.s Hero.

Since I was in the Fantasy dimension, I had information on most heroes and named monsters. Only the rarely occurring random variables could get in my way.

I wasnt fighting blindly.

You have chosen your fate yourself. Even if you beg, I will no longer forgive you.

You better worry about yourself.

We went to the sh.o.r.e of the lake to avoid damaging the environment and stood face to face.

/p>

Dont you have any weapons, Hero?

My bare hands are more than enough.

Then I will also fight barehandedly. Aqua threw the spear she was holding into the ground.

The mermaids slippery skin did not only enhance their swimming and s.h.i.+ne in the sun to help them seduce men, but it also served as natural armor against physical attacks.

I made fun of the womens armored bras, which could barely protect them, but mermaids were an entirely different matter. Even if they were naked, it wouldnt make fighting them any easier.

In addition, their kind was twice as strong as humans of the same level, given they were both naked and unarmed.

Are you afraid to attack first?

I should be the one saying that

Fshuh!

I threw myself into battle without hearing the rest of Aquas reply.

Unlike the fish, who had given up the spear that was supposed to give her maximum advantage, I planned on using all my skills.

By all skills, I meant Faith and Divinity. Those two alone would be enough.

We had a fivefold difference in level.

However, my body, which had absorbed Master Mollans teachings, slightly compensated for this difference.

In the name of Mollan!

Hmm?!

My dexterity surprised Aqua, who thought of me as a weakling. However, being the best warrior among the freshwater mermaids, she still reacted quickly.

Spear Mastery was her best skill, but she was very talented and had developed Versatility to MAX rank even without it.

We grappled in close combat, exchanging fierce punches and kicks.

/p>

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Unlike me, who lacked skills since I used them to overcome my Cooking skills limits, she possessed several S-rank and higher combat skills. If she didnt, our battle would have ended already.

But I didnt care.

Fshuh!

Tsk.

My punch, aimed at her forearm, slid off her skin.

What a pity!

Noticing an opening in my defenses, she decided to strike into it.

It was just as I expected from a stupid fish.

I carefully activated my Divinitys reflection effect, which symbolized the sanct.i.ty of an angel.

She probably noticed something strange since she had good instincts. However, she no longer had the time to stop her clenched fist.

Flas.h.!.+

Her attack was deflected away.

It wouldve been easier if I used it right from the beginning, but then Aqua wouldve used her D-rank Divinity.

Aghk?!

She screamed, the bones of her hand tearing through her slippery skin until they peered out.

A pity, really.

Aqua shouldve a.s.sumed that I had Divinity when she found out I was a religious person.

SS-rank was quite rare, but if someone worthy of the Hero t.i.tle was engaged in any religious activity, one needed to be careful.

/p>

She could have avoided this by simply enveloping her hand with her D-rank Divinity, but she was reckless.

As a result, I made an opportunity to counterattack.

I wrapped my left arm around Aquas neck like a scarf, then squeezed as hard as I could.

Kh?!

Panting, she struggled to break free from my tight grip; her slippery skin worked against her this time.

She tried to hit me with her other hand, but her pathetic Divinity couldnt harm me.

Well? Death or surrender?

Have you been hiding your skills?

No. You just dont know how to evaluate men.

Aqua destroyed all the chances she had against me when she dropped her spear.

Reflection, Divinitys SS-rank effect, was very difficult to deal with, but if one knew about it from the start of a battle, they could work around it and win against its user.

They just needed a weapon infused with divine or magical power. There were other methods as well.

This Hero

Mollans Teachings

A true miracle

The mermaids watching our confrontation on the lakesh.o.r.e out of boredom began raising a fuss.

Those stupid fishes were perfectly aware of Aquas capabilities, and they could roughly estimate my level with the help of their instincts.

Therefore, they believed in my defeat and her victory.

Have you realized the greatness of Mollans Teachings now?

/p>

Hmph! A cunning trick

What did you say?

If I had my spear, your deception wouldnt have worked Kkh?!

Compressing her neck, she turned pale.

But she didnt give up.

You just cant admit defeat, can you, stupid fish?

I constantly pushed her pride to keep it from happening, after all.

When I deliberately loosened my grip slightly, she shouted, Hero! I demand a rematch! An honest one this time!

Ive already won, so why should I? You must now believe in Mollan.

Hmph! Do you think Ill accept the outcome of such an unfair battle?

Then die.

Kh!

But I gave her yet another chance.

This stupid fish would fall for my trick again, repeating her humiliating fate during my first round.

SKRRR!

Beforehand, I gave her a herniated disc in her cervical spine, applying strong pressure between her 6th and 7th vertebrae.

Done.

Then lets do it.

What?

/p>

Lets have a rematch. If you win, you can forget about Mollans Teachings. But if I win, you will live like an ornamental fish defeated by a weak male. What do you say?

I agree!

Mermaid Aqua, in my 1st round, considered me weak. Hence, she agreed to the same risky deal.

And I won again.

Back then, she had a hernia in her lumbar spine. This time I applied it to her cervical spine.

Thinking she could win by using a spear, she was unable to show 100% of her strength due to her injury, suffering yet another humiliating defeat in front of her sisters.

Aqua.

Yes, Hero?

Afterward, I used her to promote Mollans Teachings.

Youre really stupid. I told you not to use human language.

Mollan.

Over the next year, you will not be a mermaid but a pitiful tadpole. If you cant stand it, feel free to kill yourself.

Mollan.

She was supposed to remain a tadpole forever in my first round, but after some time, she committed suicide, unable to stand the humiliation.

That was how mermaids were.

They were ready to do such shameful acts voluntarily if it meant obeying a strong male, but doing it for a weak male disgraced and dishonored them.

Currently, they thought of me as the latter.

Even though I won, my level was low. Hence, in their eyes, I was still just a feeble man.

Aquas expression contorted out of the sheer humiliation she felt.

/p>

Ironically, however, she was a proud Hero, so she didnt dare break her promise regardless of the conditions I set.

Nevertheless, I had learned my lesson. To avoid treating her life as lightly as I did in my first round, I limited her punishment to just one year.

Hey, get down on all fours.

Mollan?

What did you just imagine? Hurry up.

Mollan.

Sitting on her back, I looked up to the skies.

Dont use this as an example since our conditions are different. After all, your level has to be much lower than that of Aqua for this to even be possible. Dont worry, though. If your level is high enough, this fish will voluntarily follow you.

Pretty simple, wasnt it?

Their MAX-Cla.s.s senior didnt use any sophisticated techniques to avoid confusing his juniors.

I only demonstrated how to effectively use what one had at their disposal.

Odin: Hey, what the h.e.l.l is that teacher talking about?

Zeus: Dont ask. Hes a madman whos overcome a fivefold level difference.

Amon: I told you not to mind it. This has nothing to do with us. After all, our level is higher. Aqua will be a simple bonus for us.

Allah: Really? Can you easily beat Alex too?

Aqua was just the beginning.

In the distance, I saw a man approaching me in a boat drawn by many mermaids.

Former Commander of the Holy Kingdoms Holy Knights.

Judging by his expression, losing Aqua, who he desperately wanted to dominate, angered him.

/p>

So youve come on your own, Tomato.

My name is Thomas!

Now that I had finished making a seafood dish, it was time to make myself tomato juice.
