Chapter 12: Terrifying team of five (2/2)

The golden-haired boy asked once again when Moss didn’t answer.

Moss lifted a finger with great difficulty, pointed in a direction, said, “Just go straight in that direction.”

“Thank you then.” That golden-haired boy smiled toward Moss. He walked past Moss with the other fours, not saying anything else, going toward the direction Moss pointed to.

Moss recovered from his stiffness only long time after the five walked past him. He panted in big mouthfuls, turned around, watched the backs of these five with disbelief, cold sweat soaking his entire body.

“Which school do they actually come from?!”

“Who the hell was that guy?”

These five persons didn’t wear Holy Dawn Academy’s clothes. They didn’t know where the “Ironbox district” was either. On top of that, the academy’s “Ironbox residence district” housed guests and students from other schools to begin with. Added to their ages, Moss was certain these five came from another Academy.

Among the five, the pressure he’d gotten from the golden-haired boy who’d questioned him was too great, to the point he couldn’t breathe; even his heartbeat almost halted. So he didn’t pay any attention at all to what the other four looked like.

Such pressure… It could only mean that this person’s strength surpassed his own by too great a margin.

This person was definitely not only successful in compacting “primordial arcane particles,” becoming an arcane master in the true sense. He was also, certainly, a very powerful existence even among arcane masters. It was even possible he’d learned some formidable secret skills.

Where did such a terrifying student suddenly come out from?

Five persons! The Hegemonical Cup of the Starry Skies School Braves!

“Could these five be the team from Southern Monsoon Academy?!”

This idea suddenly flashed inside Moss’s brain. His body became even more ice-cold. He also trembled, uncontrollably.

The match between Holy Dawn Academy and Southern Monsoon Academy was tomorrow already. Holy Dawn Academy could only have the right to participate in the main qualifiers if they beat Southern Monsoon Academy. Southern Monsoon Academy was merely a second-rate academy without much fame, situated in the southern part of St. Lauren. It didn’t have any remarkable accomplishment before either, otherwise, it wouldn’t need to participate in a preliminary qualifier with Holy Dawn Academy.

Moss clearly knew the senior students of Holy Dawn Academy were definitely much stronger than himself, especially those who could become members of the academy’s team. Some of them were even strong enough to knock down ordinary teachers. But Moss also met already with the “Amazing Girl” Chris.

He hadn’t sensed such fear and pressure even when faced with Chris.

Looking at these five figures gradually disappearing from his sight, Moss was drenched in cold sweat. The only thought he had was that there was no way team Holy Dawn could vanquish such a team.

…

“Holy Dawn Academy has a very good environment, and it’s also bigger than our academy.”

The five persons who’d made Moss scared into cold sweat were leisurely walking on a small path covered with cobbles, on their way toward the “Ironbox district” at the rear side of Holy Dawn Academy. The golden-haired took out a lip balm and smeared it on his mouth, looking very bored. “It’s just, we haven’t even met a single guy who’s a little strong and interesting, it’s really too meaningless.”

“Stingham, don’t look down too much on Holy Dawn Academy,” one of the other four said beside him. It was a boy with a tall and sturdy body, eyebrows abnormally thick, and hair faintly red. “The likes of Amazing Girl Chris or Gerrin are still very strong.”

The golden-haired boy tidied his hair and said with a captivating smile, “Strong? That’s compared to ordinary people like you, captain Hansen. For a genius like me, it’s simply nothing, haha.”

The tall thick-browed boy and the three others seemed to be long used to the golden-haired boy’s way of talking. They merely gave him a glare when they heard and muttered, “Can’t you show a little modesty?”

They couldn’t help having a face full of black lines however when they heard the golden-haired boy’s following words.

“These beautiful academy girls will definitely scream for me after they see my performance, they’ll thoroughly fall in love with me.”

They all itched to toss him into the gutters on the roadside.
