Chapter 66: Raixoo!
After the illusion of speed that Lee had while running long distances for the past two days, he suddenly felt heavy, dressed in the scourge armor.
It was made of some kind of metal plates, and at first seemed clunky and uncomfortable, but the more Lee moved around, the more he realized that the armor's weight made him feel gravity like he normally did.
Either the boy scouts here were going by the same training system Prides used, when torturing his subordinates, or this kind of armor was the norm, Lee didn't care. Normally he would give a praise for the increase in training's difficulty, but currently his opponents were more accustomed to the fight conditions compared to him.
And then the cyclops guy came over and distributed short spears to the four young fighters.
Lee glanced at Butalax in surprise, but the latter answered with happy nods. For some reason the clueless bastard though that smacking few girls with a rod was of equal combat difficulty to fighting trained opponents with spears, and expected Lee to perform as well as he did back at the blob farm.
"Sigh ... idiot ..." Lee murmured, and followed the trio's suit, and put on the helmet. He had no clue how anyone could fight in these things, but wearing a helmet against armed opponent seemed kind of reasonable.
"Raixoo!" The cyclops commanded, and the shout resonated around the place.
"Raixoo!" Lee shouted like the opposing trio did, and tried to figure out a way how he could choose his first opponent.
It was bad enough that they had to fight in armor, the spears made the whole situation completely unfair. He took a short step forward, intending to position himself across the potato-head, but all three opponents raised their spears as if preparing to attack him.
Lee took a long step back, took off the helmet, and did his best to look at cyclops with questions written all over his face, but the tall guy only grinned, and motioned to continue, saying, "Raixoo!"
