Records of the Weakest Emperor

"You bastard... that wasn't a kick!"

Legolas held his stomach. He directly collapsed from the pain.

He didn't even manage to showcase the Aurum family's Martial Arts before he was knocked down by his opponent.

The pain was unbearable, Legolas wanted to stand up but when he saw the sinister look on Calvin's face that seemed to warn him that if he stood up—he would experience more pain.

Legolas obediently lied down

Damn it…

I came here to show off not to have my ass handed over to me!

Inspector Lawrence and Deputy Instructor Eutem stared at each other. They were unsure if they should declare that the fight was over, or let it continue and run its course.

Inspector Lawrence stared at Calvin for a moment.

The latter immediately understood what he meant.

Kick his ass more while you have the chance!

Calvin was in tacit agreement with the instructors. Someone as arrogant as this Legolas Aurum would harm the overall quality of the police force. However, if someone managed to bring his arrogance down to a notch and force him into submission.

The police force could surely use someone as talented as Legolas.

Yes, talented…

The Aurum family might not be able to contend with the Allana family in regards to Martial Arts. Their members surely were on par with the talents of the Allana family. To be honest, the only difference between the two was their Martial Arts.

Martial Arts in the Joselian Kingdom were ranked as follows: White, Orange, and Black.

Each of these levels had its own small levels separated with Low, Mid, and High.

The Allana family's Martial Arts could be considered to be at the High-Orange Level, while the Aurum family's Martial Arts was at the High-White Level. Now, one might say that the Martial Arts of the Aurum family seemed to be incredibly weak, but that wasn't the case at all.

These Martial Arts classifications were decided by His Majesty, the King himself. Furthermore, the strength of the Martial Art wasn't the only thing that His Majesty had in mind whenever he judged a Martial Art's strength.

The Allana family's Art of Wind-Chasing was stronger than the Aurum family's Oriental Fist in overall capability due to the fact that the Art of Wind-Chasing could do a variety of things.

The control over the wind that the Art of Wind-Chasing granted unto its user made it incredibly useful in battle since it could be used defensively, offensively, and in escaping.

The Oriental Fist of the Aurum family on the other hand only had a single purpose.

And it was to kill.

They were indeed stronger than the Allana family as killing machines, but it has to be known that strength alone wasn't enough to win battles.

There were a lot of factors that could easily decide who would become victorious in a battle, and the Oriental Fist just wasn't covering enough bases that it could be ranked higher than its current rank.

Calvin received the signal from Instructor Lawrence and he moved forward for the finisher.

"Wait!" Legolas raised his head and shouted.

But the word he yelled out wasn't the word that Calvin was looking for, so Calvin continued his attack.

"I—"

Legolas lifted both of his arms and was about to surrender when Calvin's fist landed on his sternum.

Swoosh!

The impact from the attack sent him rolling a few meters away.

"D-Did he just surrender?" Calvin stood dumbfounded and stared at the trainees.

They immediately shook their heads.

"Oh, so he hasn't surrendered yet? He sure is a tough cookie, eh?"

Calvin casually remarked and he started to approach Legolas.

"No, please! Let me say some—"

Swoosh!

Legolas rolled backwards once more.

"Why are you not letting me speak, you com—"

Swoosh!

This time, an uppercut sent him flying into the air.

While he was in the air, Legolas could see the mocking look of the other trainees.

His fury was ignited.

The Oriental Fist of the Aurum family was only supposed to be used in life and death battles, but Calvin had gone too far. Not only did he humiliate him, but he also wasn't allowing him to say anything! This was an unforgivable crime!

Legolas cried out in his mind as a crimson aura enveloped his fist.

Instructor Lawrence, Deputy Instructor Eutem, and Christine's pupils constricted.

The Oriental Fist of the Aurum family!

The three of them moved at once. This punch must never land, or else someone will die!

How brazen!

Instructor Lawrence was furious.

But Legolas was just falling down so fast as he brought down his fist directly towards Calvin's head.

There was no mistaking it—if this fist landed, then Calvin's head would burst like a watermelon.

He would die instantly.

'The Oriental Fist of the Aurum family… It's been so long since I saw that Martial Art."

Calvin felt melancholic in his heart. He could still vaguely remember the scene when the Aurum family made their last stand against the invaders. Their berserker-style of fighting inspired the hearts of thousands, but alas… the Aurum family still lost in the end and Ashmelion finally fell.

Calvin was already at the Capital City of Laguna when he heard the news about Ashmelion's collapse. He could still distinctively remember the accounts of witnesses as to how the Aurum family remained on the battlefield until the bitter end.

At that time, his Majesty himself posthumously honored the Aurum family and carved their names on the Ancestral Tablet of the Joselian Kingdom.

The members of the noble Aurum family might have been arrogant, but they sure were honorable people that was worthy of his respect. This was why Calvin knew that he couldn't dodge this attack. This member of the noble Aurum family was unbridled, disdainful, and arrogant.

For the sake of the Aurum family's future, he had to teach their descendant a lesson!

And that harsh lesson was…

The fact that there was always a higher mountain!

Calvin bent his knees and with the Art of Mana Manipulation, bountiful mana filled his fingers and his lower body as he moved swiftly to the side and narrowly avoided the fist.

Then, raising his arm...

He stuck his index finger out and poked at the web between Legolas's index and thumb fingers.

That was where the core of the Oriental Fist was located.

The reason why the Oriental Fist was a technique to be feared on the battlefield was that it was an incredibly stable Martial Art Technique that could be used with even the slightest mana available.

The Martial Art was so optimized and stable that it was highly-sought after the collapse of the Aurum family.

Calvin himself got a copy of their Martial Art and he curiously experimented with it for a few months until he discovered the reason why this Martial Art was so optimized and stable—it was actually because the core of the technique was located so close to where the impact occurred!

This sure was a dangerous approach to technique optimization, since one might inadvertently shatter the core of their own technique. However, the mana circulation routes and methods that the practitioners of the Oriental Fist used made it incredibly safe to use the art.

Yes, the core was the reason for its popularity, but it was also the greatest weakness of the technique.

No wonder the noble Aurum family was so secretive of their techniques even until their thorough demise.

Calvin's index finger landed directly on the core of Legolas's Oriental Fist and in an instant, the crimson aura that surrounded Legolas's fist retracted. It seemed as if his fist had gone numb as Legolas stared wide-eyed at Calvin before his face crashed onto the ground.

Boom!

A boom resounded.

Christine Allana, Instructor Lawrence, Deputy Instructor Eutem, and the trainees stared in shock at what just happened.

But the shock that Christine Allana felt was far greater than the shock that the others experienced.

Well, it was to be expected since these people could be considered as laymen in regards to the Martial Arts of noble families. But Christine Allana was an exception. As a member of a noble family herself, she saw that Calvin had instantly neutralized Legolas's attack.

She had to know the method that Calvin had used to do such a thing!

And what's more, she also had to report this to her family!

The coaching during the battle, and the fact that Calvin was so familiar with the circulation routes of the Allana family's Art of Wind-Chasing, Christine had to report all of these to the Allana Martial family!

"You…" Christine stared at Calvin.

Instructor Lawrence and Deputy Instructor Eutem stared at each other for a moment.

They didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Calvin gave them a clue.

"I guess it's my victory now?" Calvin casually said.

"Uh, yeah…" Deputy Instructor Eutem replied with a weird look on his face.

"I hereby announce that the victory belongs to Calvin! The challenger has failed and Calvin will stay in the first place!"

"Let's gooo!" The trainees were riled up with Deputy Instructor Eutem's words.

Even Fatty Zachary was shouting his lungs out.

Only Legolas felt as if he was living in a fantasy world.

The guy I mocked was actually the strongest one among these commoners?

And since he is number one, he's stronger than Christine?

How could that be possible?!

Scary…

The outside world is scary…

I never should've really come here.

Legolas fainted with these thoughts in his head.

But it was unfortunate that he fainted. It was because if he hadn't, then he would've died from a heart attack if he witnessed what happened next.

Christine approached Calvin and she directly held his hand.

"What are you doing?" Calvin found himself being dragged by Christine.

"Hey, Christine! Morning routine's not done, yet!" Instructor Lawrence furrowed his eyebrows.

The other trainees saw what was happening and they were confused.

What was going on?

Only Fatty Zachary had an idea as a lecherous expression appeared on his face.

"I'll do double the morning routine tomorrow, Instructor! Please grant me this favor! I have to take him away today at all costs!" Christine replied.

Instructor Lawrence felt helpless.

But Calvin wasn't having it.

"Hey, can you at least tell me where are going?"

Calvin asked with a loud voice.

The ears of the trainees perked up.

Christine stared at Calvin with an irritated expression on her face. "Isn't that obvious? We're going to my room, of course!"

Then, she activated the Art of Wind-Chasing and swiftly dragged Calvin in the direction of the female's dormitory.

When the trainees, Instructors, and Fatty Zachary realized what just happened.

They all erupted into cheers.

"LET'S GOOO!!!" Fatty Zachary led the crowd and unleashed his war cry.
