Chapter 105: Barging In
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
In a large manor, brightly lit with dazzling lights, up to a hundred servants were darting around, changing the dishes and cutlery.
Occasionally, there would be piercing laughters in the dining hall, sounds of glasses toasting, and of people digging into food and drinks.
Another servant once again brought up a large serving of steak and entered the dining hall. The whole dining hall was lit up by a thousand candles, casting a light as bright as day. The enormous dining table, over ten meters long, was placed in the middle of the dining hall.
Over ten guests sat along the table, sounds of chatter and laughter resounding non-stop.
A man with silver-colored short hair who looked like a small hill sat quietly at the table. His hands were put together, supporting his chin, revealing an inviting smile, and quietly looking towards the rest of the people who were heartily digging into the food and drinks.
The silver-haired man’s appearance was very ordinary. If one had to say whether there was anything special about it, it could only be that it looked very clean. No, his entire look was very clean, as clean as a piece of white paper.
Regardless if it was his face, his neck, his hands, or any other parts of his body, they were all as clean as mountain spring water.
Just then, another series of laughter broke out. A strong and burly man stood up, wine glass raised, and looking towards the silver-haired man he said, “Let us toast to our leader, the mighty Hamil, celebrating our victory in the inter-class competition!”
“To the mighty Hamil!”
“To the mighty Hamil!”
The more than ten men and ladies at the dining table all stood up, raising the wine glasses towards the silver-haired Hamil. The latter smiled and stood up, wine glass raised, toasting, “To our tomorrow!”
“To our tomorrow!”
“Cheers!”
Everyone shouted out, and emptied their glasses.
These people were the celebrating victors of the inter-class competition, Class 248. Currently there were eight students in Class 248 who were still learning in the academy. Other than those eight Knights, their respective partners and family members were also present.
Another red-browed burly man laughed out loud. The man’s skin was extremely tanned, and he had a muscular physique. However, the most eye-catching thing was his pair of brows, which looked like burning flames.
As he laughed out loud, he said, “Hehe, it’s like I’ve finally got to throw it up after the past few days. What of that Windstorm Sword Hero? It had only been a month since he had transitioned, and the whole academy ended up treating him like some treasure, giving him the best. To ensure that his supply of ferocious beasts was sufficient, they even deducted from our share. What nonsense. Isn’t he wasted now?”
Another person spoke up, saying, “To hell with being wasted! I’m disappointed to have lost the chance to spar against him and to win against him fair and square. No matter how strong he was, would it really be possible for him to win against all of us by himself? Moreover, boss is here too.”
“Of course he would be unable to win against us all, but a Windstorm Sword Hero is truly strong. Have you actually seen a sixteen year old who can transcend the speed of sound before?” a lean young man said.
“Douglas, do you really like going against me that much?” the red-browed burly man asked with anger.
The lean young man by the name of Douglas replied, “Did I say anything wrong? A sixteen year old with supersonic speed. Even if he can’t win against us now, it’s very likely that he’d be able to surpass us in a few years’ time. Such talent is worthy of our admiration.”
“Admiration my foot!” the red-browed burly man laughed out maniacally, “He has now been crippled by those mad dogs from the association. No matter how talented he is, what use is that?”
It was obvious that regardless if it was the Governor Devitt, or the association’s management, their whereabouts were all top secret. Most of the people in the academy were not aware of the turnaround in the events of the past two days.
A lady wearing a leather suit frowned and said, “Actually, it’s truly a pity. If it’s a genius like Fang Xingjian, I wouldn’t mind making friends with him. But I’d never thought that that even a genius like him would be done in by that bunch of mad dogs.”
When he heard the words of the lady dressed in leather, a young man with sea-blue-colored hair, casual and elegant, like a dignified young master argued, annoyed, “So what if he’s a sixteen year old with supersonic speed? So long as there’s boss’s Killing technique, it’s useless regardless of how fast he is.
