Chapter 96: Fooled again and again

Both Bora and Justin fell backwards.

Just as Ferguillo explained, Bora had launched a counterattack with the third concealed sword wedged between his feet. His own body couldn’t maintain its balance after that, and after landing on the ground, he retreated six or seven steps backward in succession before he finally knelt down on one knee, steadying himself.

On the other side, to prevent the blade from penetrating too deep, Justin’s instantly skimmed more than a dozen feet backwards. His grabbed the light blue longsword stuck inside his belly, yet he didn’t dare to forcibly pull it out.

Because this sword was stuck inside at least half the length of a palm deep.

His eyes brimmed with shock, the expression on his face extremely conflicted and confused.

He couldn’t continue the fight without pulling this sword out, and couldn’t seal the flow of blood from the wound either. Yet he worried the flow of blood would be even worse the moment he pulled it out, then he’d lose his ability to fight even faster.

“You both did enough. Neither of you should have any regret left in this fight.”

“Boss…” A tremble went through his entire body. He turned around, but he saw Ferguillo give him a grateful look, then nod his head and pay his respect to Bora.

Then Ferguillo started clapping his hands.

“Many people should remember your spectacular battle even many years later. Three Illusion Swords against Arms of Gods and Devils, the unwillingness to give up even with both arms broken, still pursuing victory.”

Ferguillo’s voice was very soft.

Yet more and more claps descended from the stands. Almost everyone started clapping.

“I concede.” Justin felt the urge to cry, but instead, with much difficulty, he managed a smile, then directly pulled out the light blue sword from his belly.

“I also concede. I’m not any threat any longer to your following team member.” Bora stood up, swaying on his feet. He walked in front of Justin. He couldn’t move his arms, but he used his body and bumped against Justin.

Two arcane medical teams rushed to both their sides and surrounded them.

Ayrin clapped firmly as well, shouting excitedly at the same time, “Victory!”

“Didn’t both sides suffer, both of them are totally done for, how’s that a victory,” Stingham shouted gloomily. He thought that if it had been him instead, he’d definitely have knocked Justin out crisp and straightforward.

“Didn’t teacher Carter say that Justin is a battle master with already two open gates? Bora is merely close to two open gates, but he hasn’t genuinely opened his second gate yet. Justin’s strength should be above his.” Ayrin turned his head around and told him happily, “Also, Justin was clearly trying to preserve as much arcane particles as possible even at the expense of physical injuries. He was preparing for his next fight, but now Bora eliminated him, so of course that’s a victory for us.”

“Oh, right!”

The gloomy-faced Stingham seemed to think of something all of a sudden. His eyes immediately lit up, and he started to cheer up. “Ayrin, it’s your turn to fight next, right?”

“Yes it is.” Ayrin waited for the field referee’s announcement, his face full of expectation, saying at the same time, “You’re going to cheer for me?”

“How about you hurry up and lose?” Stingham’s face was also full of expectation as he looked as Ayrin. “You and Chris lose immediately, then I’ll be able to make my appearance. If I overturn the tide and win against all odds, everyone will start worshiping me.”

“You, I’ve never seen anyone curse their own teammate to hurry up and lose!” Moss and the others suddenly had the irrepressible urge to press him on the ground and give him a beating.

“If you want to fight alone against the tide and win against all odds, then it’ll definitely cause more of a sensation if you did it against that guy’s team, against formidable teams like that. People will worship you even more.” However, Ayrin really seemed like he didn’t know what anger was when it came to people he believed to be his friends and teammates. He said, “You’ll certainly have the opportunity to shine come the national tournament.”

“What guy?” Moss and the rest followed Ayrin’s gaze. A shiver ran through their bodies in spite of themselves. “Rinsyi!”

“Oh that’s right, the stronger the team, the bigger the tide I have to fight against, the more people will worship me. There will certainly be countless beautiful girls taking a fancy to me. It seems I really have to wait for a stronger team in order to amaze the world with a stunning brilliant feat, that’ll be more effective.” However, Stingham blinked twice, then instantly quieted down.

“It seems like Ayrin is really Stingham’s natural bane.” Almost every member of team Holy Dawn looked at Ayrin and Stingham with a strange expression in their eyes. Stingham was clearly one of these most restless problem youngsters, but a guy slow on the uptake like Ayrin unexpectedly had his number.

After the medical teams completed their preliminary treatments and carried Bora and Justin respectively to team Holy Dawn and team Iron Forest’s rest areas, the referee finally announced again, “Second fight, Holy Dawn Academy’s Ayrin against Iron Forest Academy’s Silva!”

“It’s just like the last time, Ayrin’s the second one to take to the field!”

“Ayrin came out!”

The entire stands instantly came to a boiling point once again.

“Ayrin, do your best!” Bora shouted when he passed him by.

“Of course!”

Ayrin directly faced the stands, and shouted with every ounce of strength in his body:

“What are we!”

The entire stands stilled, then immediately exploded in a crazed roar, like the eruption of a volcano:

“Brave warriors!”

“What do we want!” Ayrin continued to shout at the top of his lungs.

“To fight!” The entire stands again shouted like a volcanic explosion.

“Fight!” Burning all over with a desire to fight, Ayrin walked toward the center of the field.

“This guy, he’s really a natural-born leader, stirring the people’s emotions.” Carter couldn’t help but shake his head, laughing soundlessly. “He only roused Holy Dawn Academy’s stands last time, now he roused the entire arena.”

The second one to take to the field for Iron Forest Academy, Silva, shouted loudly in Ayrin’s direction, “A very good atmosphere. Reckless kid, are you ready?”
