Chapter 1692 Is there a rule against drinking alcohol? (2/2)
”Referee, how are you a referee with your judgment abilities?” Ye Wanwan found it humorous. ”May I ask what rank Meng Tian and Meng Ke were, referee?”
”S-rank. So what?” the referee answered truthfully.
”And what rank am I?” Ye Wanwan pursued.
”D-rank, of course.”
”That's right! When a D-rank mercenary like me has to fight two S-rank mercenaries at the same time, I can't help but be nervous. In my nervous state, my brain's judgment abilities were naturally compromised. Plus, I'm only a D-rank mercenary, so I can't control myself as well as an S-rank mercenary. What fault is there from an error on my part?” Ye Wanwan asked with a smile.
”Utter nonsense!” The enforcer elder shouted angrily. ”That's because you drank alcohol and killed Meng Tian after getting drunk! How dare you keep searching for excuses?!”
”Drinking alcohol…” The corners of Ye Wanwan's lips curled up, and she stared at the enforcer elder with a smirk. ”May I ask this elder if there are rules in Scarlet Flames Academy that prohibit students participating in the martial competition from drinking alcohol?!”
Everyone turned to each other, stunned. Um… there really doesn't seem to be this explicit rule…
”No!” the enforcer elder replied impatiently.
”Since this rule doesn't exist, why can't I drink when my craving for alcohol overcomes me…? If you drink, you get drunk. Your judgment abilities are impaired and your mind becomes intoxicated. This is common knowledge. Hence, drunkenness definitely impacts a match in all sorts of uncertain ways. Everyone knows this, so why didn't you prohibit a competitor from drinking alcohol? This can only be attributed to an error on your part. What does it have to do with me?” Ye Wanwan lectured him without pause.
”You…!” The enforcer elder was at a loss for words.
With a smile, Ye Wanwan continued, ”I've done everything in strict adherence of Scarlet Flames' rules. Since there aren't any rules that prohibit the consumption of alcohol, I'm not responsible for any of the uncertain factors following the consumption of alcohol. That's reasonable, right?”
