Chapter 77 - His majesty the pope who spreads the holy light (20) (2/2)

The strength he put into the kick was just enough to fling Rhett away, and it won’t hurt him too much. And that person, despite having never used battle spirit, this monstrous strength was precisely what made Ionas so arrogant. Rhett lay on the ground thinking that since the other person deliberately stayed his hand to avoid letting him lose so badly, this Ionas was definitely a good man.

Rhett waited for Ionas to pull him up, a tradition in the arena. The winner will pick up the loser who falls to the ground, and then the loser congratulates the other party on winning, saying that winning or losing will not affect the friendship of being each other’s classmates.

However, Rhett felt that he had been lying for a long time, and after havingrecovered a little strength, hr observed that Ionas hadn’t come yet. Rhett had barely stood up when he found that Ionas had already reached the edge of the field. He looked up and said something to a man in the audience. Then he leapt into the audience and pulled the man away.

Rhett decided to withdraw his initial opinion. It seemed the noble young man was as obnoxious as ever.

Lu Heng and Ionas stood at the exit of the arena waiting for Rhett to come out. Just after final last match was over, the referee announced that Ionas had got the unfathomable 2 position for the college competition, and he rushed over and jumped into the auditorium. Lu Heng was pulled all the way out of the arena towards his dormitory. After promising a series of things regarding the “deepening the emotions” bedtime ceremony, Ionas reluctantly promised to return later.

Lu Heng had reasons to wait for Rhett here. The final part of the college’s competition was a field experience carried out in teams. Every team could bring a priest. Generally speaking, students chose priests they were familiar with. Therefore, if Lu Heng wanted to go with Ionas during his field experience, it was the best choice to form a team with Rhett.

“Ionas?” It was strange to see them standing at the exit. The noble young man seemed to be waiting for him. Was he trying to apologize for the affair just now? No, absolutely impossible. Rhett shook his head and threw off this whimsical idea.

“Rhett, may I have a chat with you?” Lu Heng lifted the hood that covered most of his face.

“Ah, Joseph, it was you. Long time no see.” Seeing Eddie’s saviour, Rhett grinned immediately and went forward to give the other person a warm hug.

This hug, of course, was stopped halfway by Ionas: “Don’t touch my partner casually.”

“You, you have such a relationship!” Rhett was all shocked. “I always thought Joseph was the godfather of Ionas!”

“…” Lu Heng really wanted to ask if he appeared so old. Although his body was over two hundred years old, it was still very young in appearance, and compared with the tens of thousands of years old Ionas, his age was not even a fraction of the other person’s.

The three chatted with each other all the way to the cafe in the college dining hall and met Eddie, who had just finished the test by the college teachers. The four men found a quiet corner and sat down.

“As soon as I came back to college, I heard my grandfather mention something about you. I didn’t expect that we would be classmates.” Eddie said.

“Eddie, you didn’t tell me about it, so my eyes were wide in disbelief when I saw Ionas in the arena.” Rhett shouted a little discontentedly.

“Since we returned to college, it’s the first time we are meeting, isn’t it?” Eddie rolled his eyes.

Lu Heng laughed, interrupting the momentum of the two men’s escalating quarrel: “There’s actually something I want to trouble you for help.”

“Don’t be so polite. We will do anything we can within our capabilities.” Rhett smiled brightly.

Although Eddie rarely agreed with him, he still nodded.

“I’m sure your scores are sufficient to qualify. I want to join Ionas in the final field battle portion, so I was hoping to form a team with you.” Lu Heng was no longer polite, and conveyed his request directly.

Rhett was delighted when he heard this: “How can this be regarded as us helping? It’s clear that I and Eddie will benefit massively from this.”

“Originally we were troubled about which priest to invite. Ella recently went to the Vatican to study and would not leave for a while. It’s very kind of you to invite us to join Joseph.” Eddie also smiled.

The four-man team was settled. Rhett and Eddie, who were very familiar with Maple Leaf College, had saved Lu Heng a lot of effort by covering things like pre-match preparation.

Saying goodbye to Rhett and Eddie in front of the dormitory area, Ionas almost completely leaned on Lu Heng and said in a grieving tone: “Today, in order to participate in that preliminary contest, I haven’t touched you all day. Why can’t I put those things in that precious library directly?”

Ionas automatically overlooked the fact that Lu Heng used his fingers instead of his lips to kiss him after each fight, which was not enough for the greedy dragon.

Lu Heng raised his hand and ran it through his hair. “You’ve been asleep for a while and you don’t know much about the mainland. The building where the treasure library is located was built in the era of the gods. At that time, in order to preserve the inheritance for future generations in the mainland, the whole library was built by the God of Casting 3, and the outside of the walls were blessed by the gods. Even you can’t break in.”
