"That's it? That's all a Zamri martial artist can manage?" "What a loser. He can't even cross a lake." "Fine, then why don't you do it?" "That's stupid. I know that I can't cross the lake, so I'll just take a boat." Hearing the rowdy laughter around him, Frank could not help chuckling too.
At the stime, the geezer who had been endlessly confident a moment ago was deliberately avoiding Frank's gaze, which made him laugh even more.
Still, seeing that Lebon was losing the strength to even flail in the lake and that no one was going to help him, Frank clapped Scarface on the shoulder. "Go on. Quit laughing and get him out of there already." Scarface was so busy laughing that Frank's nudging caught him off guard. "Huh?! Why should I go?!" Frank chuckled. "So that you can flex your muscles. Don't you want squealing fangirls or the crowd's cheers?" "Alright, consider it done!" Scarface lit up with anticipation right then, and without another word, he leapt toward the lake like Lebon did, kicking up a loud splash on the surface.

"We just had someone fail so spectacularly, and there's another one already?" "Wait, just look at how big he is! Does he even look like he can airwalk?" "Hell, I think he'd do worse than the first guy!" Still, the laughter and mocking comments were reasonable.
As they had pointed out, Scarface was just shy of seven feet tall and certainly did not look like he worked on his agility or airwalk techniques.
However, his pure vigor was twice more abundant than Lebon's. Even if his technique lacked grace and he was leaving violent splashes in his wake, he was shooting forward way faster than Lebon. Content belongs toen.kikistoriesAnd where he lacked elegance, he made up for it with explosive force.
Thud! Even as Lebon was so exhausted that he started sinking, Scarface caught his wrist, turned around, and started running back toward the shore.
Thud.

After all, Lebon had really given everything he could, only to arrive just sixtyish feet away from the floating platform.

"Bleurgh... T-Thank you..." Lebon kept coughing even as he thanked Scarface after being rescued.
On the other hand, the geezer beside Frank refused to even look at Lebon, snorting and turning away.
The girl behind him, however, was endlessly grateful to Frank. "Thank you... Thank you so much..." After all, she had seen that Frank was the one who ordered Scarface to save Lebon.
She presumed that Frank was Scarface's boss or just srich kid with Scarface and his bodyguard.
The geezer, however, felt thoroughly humiliated.
With a martial artist as strong as Scarface working under him, Frank was definitely not the average Joe he thought Frank was.
