Chapter 15: Vytal Festival (Part 2) The Jackass

=======================================

Robin looked back at the bully and used his skill.

Identify

Cardin Winchester (Lvl 8)HP:150/150Aura:320/320

The soaked kid turned and glared at Blake. Stepping forward, he began speaking.

“Oi kitty cat. You wanna get hurt?”

“The only one who's going to get hurt here..” Robin stepped in front of Blake.

“is you.”

“Stupid dog! I'll show you your place!”

The kid threw his right fist at Robin's face. In return Robin stopped it by catching it with his left hand unembued with aura.

= As I thought, he's weaker than me. =

“!!.. So you can fight doggy. Not bad. But I'll show yo--”

“Hey guys.” Robin interrupted the kid and addressed his friends.

“Let me handle this.”

Adam raised an eyebrow while Blake and the others looked confused and worried. However, they trusted Robin and backed off just like he said. Earlier, Robin found out that the other kids' levels were no more than eight with the one named Cardin being the strongest.

After purposefully stepping out in front of Blake, he caught Cardin's fist in an attempt to estimate his power. By doing so, Blake was no longer the target of their wrath and Robin was given the perfect test subjects. After coming to Vale, he was curious about where he stood in terms of power. This was the perfect opportunity.

= Now, become fodder for my growth. =

Robin waved his hand out in front, provoking them to come forward. The Cardin kid was furious. Not only was he interrupted, him and his group were being challenged by one mere pup.

“Don't get cocky!”

Enhance

Their auras covered their bodies. Cardin donated 50 Aura while Robin donated 20. Observing this obvious mockery, Cardin rushed forward to swing at Robin. Robin didn't even put up his guard and merely followed the punches with his eyes while moving to dodge them.

= So slow. And all the swings are too wide. He obviously trained his Aura but he's had little to no practice in fighting. =

Seeing his blows were not connecting, Cardin donated more aura to his fists and legs. His right fist burst forward, straight for Robin's face. Robin merely took his left hand and redirected the fist to the side. After doing so, he stepped forward and did a quick blow to the gut. A transparent window appeared in the side of his vision.

-30

Cardin's control was that of an amateur. When applying aura to his hands and feet, the aura at his midsection had thinned out. Noticing this, Robin delivered a blow strong enough to knock the wind out of Cardin. Robin pushed the boy away. As he was caught by his friends, Cardin began wheezing and gasping for breath.

“Gasp... He's...wheez.. stronger than.. he looks.”

= Darn, finished already? =

“..Gasp...Get him!” Pointing forward, the other three charged.

= Or maybe not. =

Bloodlust

Robin activated his semblance as the next biggest kid rushed forward to fight him. This one had even worse form and thanks to his hesitation from Bloodlust's activation, Robin easily dodged the attempts at injuring him. After a jab to his head missing completely, the boy swung his fist to the side and towards his head. Robin blocked it by raising his arm up and stepped forward. He swung a quick jab to the ribs with less force this time.

-20

At this point, Robin noticed that the last two kids went to the side and tried to catch him on both sides. Robin grabbed the arm and shirt of the kid in front of him as he donated 30 more aura to his upper body. Spinning to the side, he lifted and threw the kid at the boy approaching from the left. Running in a straight line, they collided and fell to the floor. Robin turned and faced the other one.

= Alright, I've tested my strength and dexterity. How's my defense? =

Raising both arms up, he guarded his face and slouched slightly. The last boy started pummeling onto Robin. A smile could be seen as his hits connected, unlike his comrades. It vanished just as quickly when he observed the numbers appearing.

= … Wow, how boring. =

Desperate for a breakthrough, the child swung an uppercut at Robin's chin. Robin casually stopped it with his right palm and rammed the kid's face with his other one.

-10

Robin was careful not to do anything worse than a nosebleed, but to the green-behind-the-ears amateur, that pain was intense. He immediately backed off and turned around while clutching his face. Robin took this chance to jump onto the slouching kid's back and use it as a launchpad. With a burst of strength, he kicked the kid into the tables nearby while flying in an arc towards the remaining kid who had just gotten up from being knocked down. With his fist connecting with its target, the kid was floored.

-30

As he landed, he noticed the last kid tried to get up and resume the fight. Robin merely glared at him with his now red eyes and shook his head. The kid immediately laid down and played dead. Robin now turned to Cardin who was staring at his friends all taken down by one faunus.

“Your turn brat.”

Cardin's face flushed and rushed towards Robin. Just as he neared him, his fist was caught in Adam's hand. Cardin was shocked and glared at the red-haired boy. Adam merely looked back and applied more pressure to his hand. Succumbing to the pain, Cardin gradually knelt down and pleaded for him to let go.

“We aren't just some pushovers for you to toy around with.”

= Who is this 'we' you speak of? That was all me! =

“We deserve to be treated just the same as everyone else. The next time you try to do something like that.” He leaned forward and whispered into Cardin's ear. “I'll destroy you.”

Releasing his hand, Cardin stumbled backward and rushed to get his friends up and out of there. Robin now examined the window in front of him.

+ 65 experience

Level Up! +2 to all stats

= Well they give good experience, that's for sure. =

Turning to Adam, Robin lifted an eyebrow. “Not cool, man.”

“That was very cool. I got my stat to upgrade because of that.” Adam started looking the windows in front of him. After seeing something, his face blushed as red as his hair.

“What? What is it?” Ophelia asked.

“..I got a title.” Adam murmured.

“So? Let us see it” Conner walked up close.

“No, it's embarrassing.”

“You stole Robin's glory.” Blake reasoned. “We deserve to see what you got out of that.”

Faced with everyone's urging, he took out his status plate and the group leaned forward.

The JackassYour quick judgement and impeccable timing has allowed you to steal the glory from one of your best friends. As such, they ridicule you in their minds and have given you a title suitable to their thoughts.

+10 Exhibitionist

The group immediately burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! Oh god my sides. I'm dying.” Conner howled.

“*snicker* Adam it suits you well.” Blake commented.

“Great! Now we can call you JES!”, Ophelia proclaimed.

“JES?”

“Jackass Exhibitionist Samurai.”

Adam turned a deeper shade of red as the group gathered their things and headed back to their homes with their parents. Meanwhile, a young girl also made her entrance into the kingdom.

“... So this is Vale.”

Hey there! So this is my first fight. Tried hard to make it intense and nice as possible. I did some embarrassing things to think this through. I got weird looks all around me when I accidentally started moving my fists in public. Oh the shame. Anyway tell me your thoughts. Areas of improvement or what you liked and stuff. Comment, rate, critique, etc. Thanks for reading!
