Chapter 204 Ferguillo’s Secret Training (2/2)

When the strange masked man totally vanished from the doorway, Ferguillo said to himself, “You guys really did it, you made it to the last eight…” His voice was placid, but a certain light that couldn’t be seen usually shone in his eyes.

…

On the roof of the hotel where Charlotte and Ivan and the others lived, as the sun set in the west, Charlotte looked at Ayrin beside her, then looked at the copy of Breith Magazine in her hand, and couldn’t help but say, “Are you really letting Stingham fight in second position next time? That guy’s a real idiot though, he actually told that to the reporters from Breith Magazine.”

“It doesn’t matter anyway. The louder this guy talks about it, the less people will believe him,” Ayrin said with a chuckle.

A golden halo surrounded Charlotte under the setting sunlight. As she looked into Ayrin’s curved, smiling eyes, she said in a sudden fit of courage, “Ayrin, come closer. Also, close your eyes.”

Ayrin immediately understood what Charlotte meant. His eyes went wide. “Charlotte, are you going to kiss me?”

“Damn you!”

Charlotte became a little angry and embarrassed all of a sudden after hearing Ayrin’s blunt and totally unromantic reply. She’d even finally managed to summon her courage too! “Do you want to or not!”

“I think it’s best not to,” Ayrin said, scratching his head, his cheeks a little red.

“What?!” Charlotte suddenly shouted in disbelief. “Did you hook up with some nurse back in the infirmary? Even saying you don’t want me to…”

“It’s not that,” Ayrin hurried to say, looking even more embarrassed. “It’s because Teacher Liszt is worried something might happen to me, so Teacher Songat has been protecting me from the shadows for these past few days. I’m afraid he’ll see us. Plus, it’s a really bad time right now…”

Charlotte finally noticed Ayrin looking somewhere behind herself.

“Could it be Wilde and the others?! Didn’t they say they weren’t going to come and spy on us!”

Charlotte instantly turned around, a little mad, but she froze the moment she recognized that person’s face. Then she flushed bright red. “Fe… Ferguillo?”

“Wilde and the others told me Ayrin was upstairs… Did I barge in at a bad time?” Ferguillo said, a little awkward.

“Haha!” From somewhere not far away downstairs, they heard Wilde and the others laughing out loudly as if they pulled off some evil trick.

“That bunch of rascals, I’m going to kill them!”

Charlotte ground her teeth in anger, stamped her feet, cast her eyes down, then left downstairs.

“Hehe.”

Ayrin scratched his head and let out a couple silly chuckles, then patted Ferguillo’s shoulder, looking very happy. “You finally came out of the infirmary?”

“Ayrin, you’re really amazing… It’s much harder to steal a maiden’s heart than to get into the last eight in the nationals.” A small smile floated on Ferguillo’s lips.

“How are you doing with your wounds? Are you fully recovered?” Ayrin asked, sounding excited. “I still want to fight against you… I’d definitely improve that way.”

“Ayrin, for someone from House Baratheon, the interest of the clan comes before than anything else. That’s why, for people like Rinsyi, even other young men and women who are certainly going to become pillars of the kingdom in the future are enemies for them. That’s why he wasn’t only speaking empty words. On the tournament field, he’ll definitely kill you if he gets the opportunity,” Ferguillo said without answering Ayrin’s question.

“Then I won’t show any mercy either,” Ayrin said without even thinking about it.

“He decided to fight in first position today against Hawkmoon Academy… He won’t admit it out loud, but he’s already feeling pressured by you guys. That’s why he didn’t want to expose the other main members’ actual strength or their secret skills. In fact, his real level is even stronger than what he revealed today. That said, with his character, he’ll lose his composure as soon as he feels he can’t win,” Ferguillo quietly said, his tone dead serious. “With his true strength this year, he basically won’t lose as long as he doesn’t run into Morgan, so you guys will probably end up running into him… So, starting from tomorrow, you and I are going to fight against each other.”
