Chapter 104: No time for grief

“Thank you.”

When Ferguillo let his hands drop down and allowed himself to be struck, Chris felt his intention and softly thanked him in her mind.

Then she stood still. She looked at Ayrin and the other members of team Holy Dawn, looked at the stands occupied by Holy Dawn Academy, and said in a serious tone, “We can go to the national tournament now.”

At this moment, it was hard to tell how many students of Holy Dawn Academy had strangely red-rimmed eyes.

“Ah!”

“Brave warriors, we won!”

When Gerryn and the others were still staring blankly, Ayrin was the first one to dash out like a wild runaway horse. He cheered and rushed to the center of the field.

“They won… Holy Dawn Academy fought their way into the national tournament without suffering much damage.” All the members of team Agate Lake were also shocked by Ferguillo’s figure sent flying away, by Chris’ staunch figure standing alone.

“Is it the end?”

“Everything’s finished?”

There were only a few substitute team members left in team Iron Forest.

Reclining on a stretcher, Wilde looked blankly at the center of the field, looked at the huge shadows cast by the huge dragon bones under the sunlight.

Everything was finished?

Perplexed, he struggled to keep his eyes open. Why was everything so hazy?

Why can’t I see clearly?

Why?

“Don’t cry! The boss doesn’t like seeing us cry like little kids,” someone said.

Wilde struggled to turn his head around. Salty drops tumbled from the corners of his eyes, flowing down to the corner of his mouth. He saw several pairs of eyes, all thoroughly red.

Then he nodded. He rubbed his eyes. He used all his strength and howled like a wild wolf.

“What are you doing to the boss!” many Iron Forest students in the stands suddenly shouted at this time, their eyes thoroughly red, their fists crackling from how hard they clenched them. Many people flew into a rage, and even rushed to the edge of the stands, about to jump down to the field.

Because they saw Ayrin run toward Ferguillo while the latter received treatment from the arcane medical team.

Then they stopped again very quickly.

“Come here!”

Because at this moment, Ayrin shouted loudly at team Iron Forest, “There are these guys sitting in the stands who want to see through all his ins and outs, but he still fought without holding anything back. He’s just like you guys, he won’t leave the fight while still standing on his feet. Shouldn’t you guys be with him at a time like this? Even if you have to crawl, you have to crawl here! Whether victory or defeat, don’t you feel that you guys and him are worthy of respect from everyone in the stands? You are also true brave warriors!”

“Boss!” After a slight blank moment, the members of team Iron Forest all shouted out loud, then lent their arms to each other and walked into the field, gathering around Ferguillo.

Warm applause suddenly erupted from the entire arena.

Almost everyone stood up, applauding team Holy Dawn and team Iron Forest.

Only Rinsyi’s expression was gloomy to the extreme.

“These guys? This freshman has trouble even when he runs into Freguillo, yet he actually has the audacity to deride me in public!”

…

“Charlotte! We won!”

At this time, Ayrin had already rushed into the stands and shouted out loud at Charlotte, “Next time you have to come to the nationals and watch our fight again!”

“…” Charlotte dropped her head even lower. But she thought that if she didn’t answer, Ayrin might well shout even louder. Hence she promised him in a weak voice, her face even redder.

“It’s already come to this, why don’t you admit it yet? Can he hear your mosquito voice going hum hum?” Her dormmates beside her immediate showed great disdain. “Let us help you answer then!” These girls shouted out loud simultaneously, before Charlotte came back to her senses, “Ayrin, Charlotte said that she’ll definitely go watch you in the national tournament! If you win again next time, she can even reward you with a kiss.”

“Ah?” Ayrin was struck a little dumb. He scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

“What nonsense are you guys spouting!” Charlotte was stupefied on the spot. She felt angry and shamed enough that she wished nothing better than to throttle these girls around her.

“Don’t tell us you guys are past this stage already?” The girls looked suspiciously at Charlotte. “Don’t tell us even a kiss isn’t stimulating enough?”

“Goddess Charlotte and him actually are really…” Many Divine Shield Academy students suddenly howled in grief. The first dream of their lives was already crushed.

Surrounded by Wilde and the others, Ferguillo looked coolly, yet very seriously at the members of team Iron Forest, and said, “Don’t be sad.”
