Chapter 328: Familial Pressure and Resolution (1/2)

“It doesn’t matter what secrets Belo is hiding or why he so desperately wishes to become stronger. As his teammates, we must support him.”

Ayrin glanced at Belo, who was far off in the distance by himself, and then turned and looked towards Minlur as he said, “Teacher Minlur, I hope that you too can help by thinking up some kind of new special training for him.”

“His previous special training was already one which forced him to put his life on the line.” A look of awkwardness emerged on Minlur’s face as he hesitantly nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll talk to Carter and the others and see what I can do.”

“Hahahaha!” Immediately afterwards, Minlur boisterously laughed as he thought to himself, “Just what kind of monsters were these children standing before him? And how did they all manage to enter Holy Dawn Academy at the same time? It seemed like Holy Dawn Academy was definitely going to become a name which would incite fear just by being mentioned in the future.”

“Even the teacher acts like this… It seems like everyone from Holy Dawn Academy is abnormal,” Audrey and the others thought as they watched Minlur cackling for what seemed like no apparent reason.

“Ayrin!” At this moment, Morgan suddenly turned towards Ayrin and took a step forward.

“What is it?” Ayrin asked as he smiled towards Morgan.

Fighting intent surged forth within Morgan’s pupils as he asked, “Why don’t we also have a match?”

“What?”

An awkward atmosphere suddenly descended across the entire area. It was unheard of for Morgan to actively reach out and challenge the member of another team. He was always the one being challenged.

Yet right now, he had actively asked Ayrin for a match.

“Even Morgan’s fighting intent has been aroused by this fellow. Is he perhaps afraid that Ayrin is about to catch up and surpass him?” Rinloran thought as he intently gazed at Morgan and then let out a deep sigh.

Although Morgan had always been mentioned alongside Rinsyi and other celebrity fighters, almost all of them tacitly agreed that Morgan on another level compared to them.

Jean Camus saw Morgan as the strongest genius amongst all the geniuses of the Kingdom of Eiche as well.

If Ayrin managed to defeat Morgan, it would mean that there were no more opponents for him in the national tournament.

“Another match? Morgan, are you trying to take advantage of the situation here and fight him after he has already fought?” Stingham whined.

Being the innate battlemaster that he was, everyone present was already expecting Ayrin to accept Morgan’s proposal. They waited for him to wave his fist towards Morgan and excitedly shout out, “Come! Brave warrior Morgan!”

But contrary to their expectations, Ayrin immediately shook his head and straightforwardly replied, “No. I will not fight against you.”

“You won’t fight me?”

Morgan almost keeled over in shock as he asked, “Why not? Are you looking down on me?”

“I just don’t wish to fight you here. I want to save our fight for the national tournament when we are atop the arena.” Ayrin’s gaze swept across the crowd and fixated upon Chris as he continued, “The national tournament is still going on, after all. And I promised Chris that I will help her defeat you and your team and become the national champions!”

Afterwards, Ayrin turned towards Minlur and said, “Teacher Minlur, you now know it all. So you must make sure to help us convince the Office of Special Affairs to continue the tournament and allow us to fight the matches which still have not been fought!”

“Naturally!”

Minlur vigorously waved his fist, causing the air to whistle around him as he replied, “The Hegemonical Cup of Starry Skies Braves has nurtured you youths and allowed for you all to have such excellent performances during this war. Of course it cannot stop before all the matches are complete. It shall continue until there is a single victor.”

“Then let’s save our fight until the national tournament, brother Morgan! After all, if we fight here, will you still have the desire to fight next time?” Ayrin said calmly as he looked at Morgan with an ardent expression.

“Chris… this goddess like girl also has a unique story behind her?” Morgan thought as he gazed at Chris, and then Ayrin, and saw the expressions contained within their eyes.

“Alright then!”

Morgan extended his fist towards Ayrin, “So be it. We will save our fight for when we meet in the national tournament!”

“Brother Morgan is indeed a good person! We have a deal!”

Ayrin fist bumped Morgan.

“When we meet in the competition… why is it that I don’t have the slightest bit of confidence in defeating these guys?” Gaskin couldn’t help but quietly mutter beside Audrey.

“Are you feeling the pressure? Regardless of whether you are being chased, or you are the one chasing, your speed of improvement will still improve.” Morgan smiled as he gently patted Gaskin’s shoulder and continued, “It seems like we too will need to train as if our lives depend on it. Otherwise, we might get left in the dust.”
