Chapter 239 - A Good Dog Doesn't Block the Way

Sully took two to three steps forward and pa.s.sed by w.a.n.g Zhong, a radiant smile plastered on his face as he walked to the front. ”Saxon Squadron, Sully, sends his regards to the seniors present.”

Since Calderon and the others had graduated from Copperfield Academy, and everyone here was partic.i.p.ating in the special training, calling them seniors wasn't a problem.

With a smile, everyone just nodded their heads. It was as though they hadn't noticed w.a.n.g Zhong, just that in their eyes Tianjing Academy was just a filler squadron brought over to make up for the shortfall of people. It didn't matter if he gave a self-introduction or not as none of them held much interest for Tianjing.

After Sully took the lead, those few vice-captains standing behind w.a.n.g Zhong began to walk up without the slightest bit of courtesy. Deep within their hearts they treated their own vice-captain statuses as worthy of much higher respect than w.a.n.g Zhong's captain status.

This made w.a.n.g Zhong speechless. This was just a self-introduction. Why the need to rush?

Sitting to the side, Laura couldn't bear to watch this farce anymore and, with a smile, interrupted a vice-captain from Lennon Academy while waving a hand toward w.a.n.g Zhong, ”Captain w.a.n.g Zhong, care to introduce yourself?”

Quite a number in the great hall turned to look over when they heard Laura's words.

Although w.a.n.g Zhong didn't feel any physiological rejection toward these clans and influences within Copperfield City, he didn't have the heart to suck up to them either. The only thing he was thinking of now was just carrying out the responsibilities required of him. As a representative of Tianjing Academy, it was a must for him to display respect and manners. ”Good evening, seniors. Pleased to meet you. My name is w.a.n.g Zhong, captain of the Tianjing Squadron.”

Even those at the front, like Leo and Paul, who hadn't sold themselves off with a deluge of heavenly flowers, still added quite a few personal compliments about themselves. No one gave such a simple self-introduction like w.a.n.g Zhong.

Other than Austin and Saxon none of the other academies really stayed in Calderon and the others' memories. From the looks of it, however, this person called w.a.n.g Zhong clearly didn't receive the same respect as the other special training squadron captains. It was easy to see where he stood from this. Clearly this fellow lacked the strength and character for others to waste their time on.

Sending a smile over, Calderon and the rest immediately returned their attention to Paul.

”So, Little Friend Paul, you're in your third academic year now, right? What plans do you have after graduation?” After completely ignoring w.a.n.g Zhong, Calderon immediately tossed the spotlight back on Paul.

With a faint smile, Paul replied to the question in a smooth fas.h.i.+on. There would always be some who would naturally be cast under the spotlight no matter where they went, and Paul was clearly one such person. Furthermore, he was indeed extremely outstanding. Regardless of whether one looked at his outer appearance, experienced his temperament, seen his results in last year's CHF, or even simply listened to his style of conversation, it was easy to notice he was on another level compared to normal youths.

As she listened to Paul's fluent reply, Laura felt a bit awkward. She never imagined this would result in w.a.n.g Zhong just coming to give a greeting. Nevertheless, this fellow actually looked as though he didn't even care, making Laura wrinkle her forehead in response.

In the end, was this fellow All-Mouthy King or not? Could All-Mouthy King be so low-profile? Where were the mannerisms of a powerhouse?

Currently, with most of the self-introductions over and done with, the atmosphere in the large hall appeared more harmonious and peaceful. A few of the bigwigs continued to gather around Paul and Leo, chatting and laughing as they did so. As for the other captains and vice-captains, they also made contact with the other aristocratic clans present in the large hall. While those clans weren't as influential as the Sion Clan or Myron Clan, they were still able to receive an invitation from the Potter Clan which meant their influence had reached a certain level in Copperfield City. Meeting any of these people was enough for the weaker captains.

In comparison, not a single person cared about Sir Captain w.a.n.g from Tianjing Academy. His previous display had been too marginal, and even those few vice-captains appeared stronger than he. Who would even bother with a waste like him?

As soothing music continued to play throughout the large hall, Sully remained by Paul's side. The two accompanied Calderon, and while there weren't many places for him to join in the conversation, being able to say one or two statement was more than enough. At the very least, he made himself appear more familiar before Calderon's eyes.
