Chapter 220: The Unpredictable Stingham and the Impetuous Belo (2/2)
Tyrin had also been defeated… was this real?
A team from St Lauren which had to make it through the gauntlet to qualify for this tournament is actually so strong? Why are they so confident they can beat us?
Emotions which had been repressed suddenly emerged within Rinysi’s mind and transformed into rage.
……
Crunch!
In a corner of the stands, Songat finally stopped chewing.
“Liszt, didn’t you just say that this Stingham fellow is incredibly lazy and talk about how he always tries to avoid training through various methods? So how come he knows Rui’s skill, Doors of Gods?” Songat turned his head and looked at Liszt as he continued, “If I remember correctly, this Doors of Gods is quite hard to learn.”
“It was out of my control. This fellow is just too narcissistic.”
Liszt looked at the floating Stingham as he said with a smirk, “This fellow doesn’t learn arcane skills because they are useful, but because they can make him look more handsome. He slacks off when it comes to learning skills which are suitable for him, but for this one skill, he thought that this skill made him look very handsome, so he made quite a bit of effort and spent a lot of time on learning it. In the end, even though this taboo skill is incredibly hard to learn, he did learn it.”
“This fellow is a little too pretentious, isn’t he?” Songat felt speechless.
“Nothing I can do. Geniuses are always different from others.” Liszt lazily stretched his waist, then laughed, “Isn’t this pretty good. He was able to easily defeat Tyrin.”
“Hill and Tyrin have both been defeated… the chance of victory is only getting better and better for these little monsters from your Holy Dawn Academy.” As Songat observed Holy Dawn Academy’s team, this thought emerged in his mind.
“This match has ended!”
Lead referee Clancy’s shout and the subsequent rush of a medical team onto the stage shattered any remaining traces of disbelief from the minds of the spectating Golden Stag Academy students.
“This idiot like fellow was actually this strong?”
The vast majority of spectating Golden Stag Academy students felt extremely uncomfortable as they had suffered a lost but didn’t have anyone to complain to.
Whoosh!
The resplendent light in midair disappeared.
Stingham steadily landed onto the ground.
“I’m not fighting anymore!”
“I’m so ugly now, how can I keep fighting!”
Everyone now looked at Stingham in a different light. Yet, against their expectations, he had a dispirited and angry expression on his face upon descending, as if he had been crying but his tears hadn’t come out.
After loudly crying out twice in an extremely dispirited manner, Stingham directly motioned that he was forfeiting towards Clancy and then quickly ran off the stage into the nearby preparation room.
“He directly forfeited? Simply because his hair was too ugly on one side?”
Even Clancy was unable to respond as stood blankly atop the stage.
The Holy Dawn Academy students in the stands were completely dumbfounded.
“This fellow clearly could have kept fighting, yet he decided to suddenly give up just like this?”
“Didn’t this fellow say he was going to defeat all of Golden Stag Academy’s team by himself and be the savior of Holy Dawn Academy? Why is he directly stepping down right after one fight?”
Ayrin, Chris, and the others simultaneously looked at each other.
However, the competition put the wishes of the competitor themselves first. Since Stingham himself had already indicated his decision to withdraw, even if they tied him up and threw him back up onto the stage, he wouldn’t be able participate anymore.
“Whatever.”
Carter gently sighed, then looked at the others, “Stingham didn’t have that many arcane particles left anyway. Trading two for two was already planned for as well. Belo, Ayrin, the rest relies on you.”
A glint of light seemed to flash for a second as Belo pushed his glasses up.
……
“Impetuous Freshman Belo?”
“The next person appearing for our Holy Dawn Academy team is actually him?”
“It’s another substitute who has yet to appear?”
“It’s that substitute member who made the bet with Hill over the loser licking the winner’s feet?”
Belo had only just stood up when a strange atmosphere descended over the stands.
Holy Dawn Academy’s students were full of shock and confusion, yet there was also an air of expectancy.
As for Golden Stag Academy’s students, they felt full of unease and doubt.
From the midst of Golden Stag Academy’s team, a sharp faced boy with dark gray hair who gave off a sinister and morbid aura took a deep breath and began walking towards the stage.
“It’s Plague Disseminator Zouchen versus Belo!”
It had now become very obvious that Golden Stag Academy’s team was indeed using its full strength!
“This fellow…”
In Zouchen’s eyes, the glasses wearing Belo seemed extremely young and innocent. Based on common sense, it should be impossible for a freshman like Belo to compare with an arcane master like him who had experienced so many brutal battles and killed so many people as a member of one of House Baratheon’s arcane teams.
But for some inexplicable reason, a strange feeling of discomfort emerged in Zouchen’s heart the moment he stepped onto the stage.
“Belo… just what kind of special training did Teacher Carter prepare for you?”
Ayrin excitedly clenched his fists as he looked onwards, full of anticipation.
“Has your body suddenly become filled with a strange feeling?”
Belo suddenly asked as he faced Zouchen atop the stage.
“What do you mean?” Zouchen subconsciously furrowed his brows as he looked at Belo in a startled manner.
Belo pushed his glasses up as an impetuous look emerged on his face, “I’m just letting you know what this feeling is… what you are feeling is the feeling a poisonous bug gets when it encounters a poisonous bug eating eagle. It is the feeling of having encountered a natural predator.”
