”Ugh, that Madman was truly pervert you know! It's as if his body was made out of some divine metal. It doesn't matter how many times he was attacked, he doesn't even bother defending himself, he's just taking it all without getting hurt! Che!”
At the Study Area, Jason rambled on and on about his frustrations about Madman Floyd. Raven, the unfortunate guy whom Jason saw entering this place, was now turned into his unwilling listener.
Its been a few days since the after the little competition they had. With how talkative Jason was, Raven didn't even need to personally watch how the contest went, the former tells him every single detail. So much so that Raven's already tired about hearing it.
Surprisingly, it wasn't Floyd who won the Dragon's Tooth. While he might be absurdly strong, the rules of the contest weren't solely focused on brute strength alone. He placed third, still a rather decent ranking.
The one who won the Dragon's Tooth was Jonathan.
According to Jason's intel, the guy didn't take any chances at all. He went all out in order to acquire the Dragon's Tooth. Well, that isn't really that surprising for Raven since Jonathan had the Azure Dragon's Bloodline coursing through him.
Jonathan acquiring the Dragon's Tooth is akin to giving wings to a tiger. If there's anyone who could squeeze out the most use from this Dragon Tooth, it would undoubtedly be Jonathan. And upon acquiring the Dragon's Tooth, Jonathan immediately isolated himself and were probably devouring the remaining essence on it.
Jason managed to land onto the fourth place, as a reward he received a three-day ticket stub from Henry which allows him to enter any kind of Law Cultivation Chambers within the sect. For him, this is already considered as a good reward, specially considering that this contest was just out of Henry's whim.
Raven could remember Jason informing him about the final results but he was so disinterested that he forgot about them. If there's anything that piqued his interest slightly, it would be the two newcomers - Edward and Franklin.
It was fortunate that Jason was rather curious about them as well, therefore when he rambled about them, his words were detailed.
According to him, Edward - the delinquent looking guy, preferred to use claws as his weapons. He was just as fast as Michelle who uses Wind Laws, but Edward's speed was raw. His attacks were somehow violent and unrefined, yet it does the job properly. Jason said that this guy landed into fifth place.
That pretty much sums everything up. The last place went to Juniper who didn't even managed to kill a single reanimated Space Beast. That guy was truly pitiful.
Still, it would seem that Jason was really irritated with how absurdly powerful Floyd was. Even though a few days had already passed since that little contests, he's still nagging at Raven about how perversely powerful Floyd was.
”Hey, are you listening to me?” Jason asked as he noticed that Raven wasn't even looking at him.
Raven was briefly startled, he lifted up his head and asked: ”Sorry, were you saying something important?”
”Ouch! How mean and rude of you! I've been blabbering here non-stop and you weren't even listening! Is what you're reading more entertaining than my stories?”
”Do you want me to answer that?” Raven blandly asked, returning his attention to the book.
This caused Jason to feel exasperation from the depths of his heart, however he could only sigh and say: ”You're very rude you know?”
”Thanks.”
”This guy…” Jason's lips twitched upon hearing Raven's reply.
Honestly, he's starting to get used on how Raven works as human being. However, from time to time, it still surprises him how anti-social this guy could get.
Jason knew that Raven was different. He could tell that, with how Raven treats him, it's not out of prejudice due to his background, its simply because that's just how he is. Compared to some disciples, he found Raven more approachable and easy to get along with even with his disinterested attitude.
”Ah! So you two were here!”
Out of nowhere, a pleasant voice caught Raven and Jason's attention. However, instead of greeting the owner of the voice, both of them sighed. Raven stood up while Jason dejectedly slumped back on his chair.
”There goes my peace and quiet.” Raven murmured as he returned the books he borrowed to their respective bookshelves.
”Ugh, here we go again.” Jason grumbled in his bed as he helplessly buried his face with his arms.
