Calvin slumped onto the ground with disbelief in his eyes. "I-I can't believe it. There's no way he's this powerful."
Perry staggered backward, similarly in disbelief. "Impossible. You said you didn't know Qustia Arts. How do you explain this, then?"
He was surprised that Kendrick was defeated just now, but this was outright scary. Kingsley defeated seven black belts in an instant. It was unbelievable, but it happened.
One of the Southsirenese laying on the ground howled.
"He lied! He's a practitioner!"
His comrades agreed.
"My arm is broken. I bet he knows the legendary defensive arts!"
"I feel my chest churning. It's like a sledgehammer just hit me. This must be the legendary inner power of the Qustians!"
Stricken by the howls of pain, a pale Perry stared at Kingsley. "Y-You fiend! You lied to us so that we'd let our guard down!"
Kingsley shrugged. "No. I don't know Qustia Arts at all, and I'd wager I don't even know the basics of those arts."
"As if!" Perry was almost having a breakdown. "You defeated all our warriors, and yet you claim that you don't even know the basics! Is that supposed to be a joke? And if you really don't know Qustia Arts, then what kind of strength did you use to defeat our warriors? You can't answer, can you?"
Kingsley smirked. "I can. That was Military Arts." Everything he knew, he learned from the battlefield. Calling it Military Arts was accurate.
"Military Arts?" Perry froze. "What kind of martial arts?"
"It's not martial arts." Kingsley responded calmly, "Just an exercise we practice in the military. Everyone who has gone through a basic boot camp should know about this."
Perry was petrified. "Impossible!" He shook his head violently. "That kind of strength is nothing but basic exercise? Impossible! And everyone here knows this?" Perry's eyes were bloodshot and crimson like a demon's. "That's impossible!" he shrieked. "If everyone has that kind of power, then why haven't I ever met someone in Qustia who could defeat us?"
Kingsley's smirk slowly turned into a sneer. "Because we're tolerant people. We don't attack if unprovoked. We can tolerate your stupid acts, but if you go too far, our people will come for you."
Kingsley's announcement bore untold power behind it as it slammed down on the foreigners. Shudders ran down their spine, and Perry shivered. "I…" With a trembling voice, he said, "I didn't do anything stupid. I-I'm just an exchange student here to learn."
Perry was terrified. For a moment, he could feel the power of a thousand mountains emanating from Kingsley and then slamming down on his shoulder, crushing his fake sense of superiority.
Perry's lackeys, who were still on the ground, said with a shivering voice, "Y-Yeah, we're exchange students. We won't do it again, we promise."
