Chapter 362: A Moment One Must Bear (2/2)

“Has nothing to do with me?”

Ayrin’s face twisted with fury as he pointed at the distant Joyce who was currently receiving treatment. “The person lying there right now is not your friend, but mine!”

“And?”

The red and blue eyed arcane master’s eyes turned cold as he said, “Do I have to say it out loud? Whether you are willing or not, I will be taking Rinsyi away. And if you resist, it may very well lead to the injury and death of those around you!”

“Say that again!” Rinloran’s face turned frosty.

“Ayrin, hand Rinsyi over,” Liszt’s voice abruptly rang out.

“What?!” Ayrin, Rinloran and the others all looked at Liszt in disbelief.

“Hand Rinsyi over.”

Liszt nodded calmly at them as he said indifferently, “Because even we may not be enough to stop them from killing you if they decide to do so.”

Liszt’s words seemed to have caught the four members of the Maelstrom Team off guard as they all stiffened slightly. Cold sneers appeared atop their faces.

“It’s a pity that all these children are here today. You best be ready if we meet again. Regardless of if you are representing House Baratheon or something else, I will see just how strong you really are,” Liszt continued in the same indifferent tone, but his words were laced with a clear killing intent.

“Eh?”

A light flashed through the eyes of the four Maelstrom Team arcane masters as the red and blue eyed arcane master replied, “Everyone says that the Holy Dawn Evil Six is the Kingdom of Eiche’s strongest arcane team, but we do not believe so.” His eyes were full of disdain as he nodded towards Liszt, “I also desire an opportunity to test your strength.”

“Is this an agreement to battle to the death?” Stingham’s mouth hung open in shock. He had never expected for such declarations to be made so suddenly.

“Teacher Liszt!” Ayrin roared. Bones cracked all over his body as his fists seemed as if they were aflame once more.

“It’s alright. It is alright to concede when you are facing an opponent who you have no way of defeating at the moment. Just bear it for now.” Liszt patted Ayrin on the shoulder as he whispered, “Your battle with House Baratheon is not over, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future.”

Ayrin remained silent as he lowered his head.

The red and blue eyed arcane master came over and grabbed Rinsyi.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Ayrin abruptly shouted, “What is your name?!”

“Not willing to give up?”

“If one could just give up, then Rinsyi wouldn’t be in such a state.”

The red and blue eyed arcane master laughed coldly as he replied, “I am Rintucci.”

“Rintucci, one day I will defeat you!”

“I swear!”

Word by word, Ayrin sounded his resolve.

“I don’t think you will ever have such an opportunity,” the red and blue eyed arcane master laughed in disdain.

Afterwards, the Maelstrom Team slowly sauntered away.

Meanwhile, the fire in Ayrin’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

“Teacher Liszt, I will become stronger!”

“I absolutely will not let people like them use such means to threaten us!”

Ayrin turned and looked Liszt in the eye.

“I know.”

Liszt pat Ayrin on the shoulder once more as he comforted Ayrin, “That day is not far away.”

“In the world of arcane masters, rules are made by those with power… after today’s events, I’m sure you all now have a clear understanding?” Carter said slowly as he looked at all the angry yet abashed youths around him.
