Chapter 39: Supreme arrogance (2/2)

As this golden-haired boy came nearer and nearer the body training complex at the rear of the campus, Moss felt more and more certain this golden-haired boy was a member of team Iron Forest.

They might encounter Holy Dawn Academy’s team during the tournament, so it made sense for this golden-haired boy and his other four teammates to appear in Holy Dawn Academy and watch their match.

…

Stingham didn’t notice at all there was a Holy Dawn student like Moss following behind him, from the south of the City all the way to the north.

With a “Clang,” he pushed open the gates to the biggest body training complex inside Iron Forest Academy.

Then he immediately shouted inside, “Hey, who’s Ferguillo, is he here?”

“What!”

Moss wasn’t far behind him at this moment, and clearly heard his yell. The corner of his mouth twitched on its own.

He hadn’t had a good look at the faces of the four other people besides this golden-hair back then that day, but Ferguillo was the captain of team Iron Forest, a star in the entire city of St. Lauren. In the previous tournament last year, it was said Ferguillo had been the one who ended up defeating Agate Lake’s Sofia, qualifying Iron Forest Academy.

If this golden-haired boy were someone from Iron Forest Academy, would he possibly not know Ferguillo, to the point he had to ask who he was?

If he wasn’t a member of team Iron Forest at all, what was he doing here right now!

Many question marks and shock symbols appeared in Moss’ mind at this moment, so many his entire person froze on the spot.

This body training building was very big, with extremely smooth bricks laid on the floor. Six or seven blindfolded boys stood inside, bare-chested, wearing only their pants.

These people inside turned their heads around in concert when they heard Stingham’s loud yell. One of them said with a frown, “Who is it?” However, none of them removed the blindfolds covering their eyes.

“I am the wisest, most formidable fighter, most handsome Stingham from team Golden Lion. I came today to challenge Ferguillo, challenge your academy’s team!” Stingham laughed out loud, and, without a care whether the people inside could see him or not, flung his hair, posed in what he believed to be his most handsome and most enchanting pose. He even took out a comb, combed his hair twice.

“What, Golden Lion Academy!” The formerly petrified Moss almost shouted on the spot.

“Hm?”

The band of people inside the body training complex pulled their blindfolds down. They all had a cold indifferent face when they saw Stingham’s pose, as if they were looking at a clown.

“Golden Lion Academy?” The weakest and slimmest one among them had a very handsome face, but one of his eyes was a strange pink. He said, “There’s still a long while to go before the match. Even if you’re a member of Golden Lion Academy’s team, what are you doing here?”

“Amazing!”

The moment this boy lifted his head and looked outside, an inexplicable shiver ran through Moss’ entire body, as if a terrifying cold assaulted his face head-on. He was almost certain this was the most famous person in Iron Forest Academy, Ferguillo, because even if this boy seemed the skinniest one, the other fierce boys couldn’t compare to his momentum despite their bodies of steel.

“It’s because three months’ too long, I can’t wait this long.” Stingham seemed not to sense the mood at all, letting out a great laughter. “Also, there’s not even a single beautiful girl in your academy, it’s really meaningless to fight a match against your school. I might as well sort you out in advance, then I can fight with other schools after that.”

“Running by himself inside an academy like Iron Forest Academy… Trying to beat the opposite team and end the match before it even begins, is there a problem with that guy’s brain?” Moss’ mouth was open wide, stretched to the limit. He even started to doubt his own eyes and ears.

“What did you say!”

Alarming cold light flashed in the eyes of the people inside the complex when they heard Stingham’s words.

“You want to sort us out before the match, all by yourself?” Ferguillo’s voice was still light, however. “Let’s see you walk inside first.”

Along with his indifferent voice, Moss’ vision couldn’t help but fall on its own on the building’s signboard.
