Chapter 151: Retaliation (2/2)
”What do you want?”
”I want to talk to you about something.”
”Is it about you being oppressed by the instructors? If it is, I am sorry, I cannot force them to do anything, even after all the things they did to you, it can only be considered being biased and I cannot force their bias out of their heads. They played within the rules; I cannot take action.”
”Actually, no. I have two requests. First one, I am here to request you to give me permission to halt the training for the day, so that I can challenge some people.”
Deputy General, raised an eyebrow as he asked.
”Why do you need a day off for a challenge?”
”I won't need a day off if I have to challenge a single person, but I have multiple opponents.”
Deputy general seemed intrigued and said.
”Granted. What is the other request?”
”I want you to supervise my challenges.”
”Do you think that you are worthy enough for my supervision? Fights of your level won't need me to look after.” His words are rather arrogantly spoken and one could smell the pride from the voice. But Sam didn't take offense.
That type of arrogance is not inborn, rather it was cultivated on the basis of countless accomplishments, nobody has a right to point a finger at a person like that.
”How are so sure that they are not worthy? Besides, literally the whole military is against me. I cannot trust anyone except you.”
Deputy General didn't know how to reply to those words and said after some contemplation.
”I will give you, half-an-hour. If your fights seem unworthy after that, I will leave.”
Sam smiled and said.
”Sure. You won't be disappointed. Shall we go now?” Deputy general nodded and followed Sam out of the tent.
In actual fact, he cannot be bothered with some common duels involving a Novice.
But seeing Sam's confidence and analysing his situation, if Sam really provoked a soldier from a regiment even if he won, the remaining people will take it out on him by continuously challenging him.
And even that Regiment commander will take it out on him. Judging from the records his team already lost 100 points, this would actually become even more worse.
But seeing Sam's confidence, he was intrigued. He wants to see how this boy will resolve the situation.
Soon, they are in front of the fifth regiment camp. The regiment their current instructor is in charge of.
As soon as they entered the camp, everyone is looking at the Deputy General who is walking beside a boy who is wearing a rookie soldier uniform. They are feeling peculiar.
A regiment has three thousand members and more than sixty percent of them are Novices, the acolytes wouldn't make the cut in the Dukedom army.
So, the novices occupy the most part. And among those 1800 or so Novices, 800 of them might be at Middle and Late stages.
Sam's target are those people.
He slowly strode towards the Arena of the challenges and looked at the camp.
This action gathered the attention of many people and slowly the crowd started growing. When he thought that he had enough audience, Sam shouted in a voice loud enough for the whole camp to listen.
”I am Sam from the special batch who is undergoing the competition. Today, I am here to challenge the Novices from the fifth regiment.
From what I know, there are 1800 Novices in this regiment and I am here to challenge all of them. Th
For every fight I lose, I will give ten thousand spirit stones to the winner and if the other party is a team, I will pay ten thousand for each of them
For every fight I win, I will collect five thousand from the losers, and if a team loses, I will take five thousand for each member.”
The whole camp was stunned. They didn't expect that someone will come to their camp and challenge them like that.
If it was a normal challenge, they might want to back out, since they weren't challenged individually. But the bait if wealth is quite tempting.
Some of the soldiers recognised Sam. They are the ones who challenged Drew and Hawk. One of them asked.
”What is your goal here?” He knew that Sam is being troubled by their commander, so he wouldn't come here for no reason or just to make some quick cash.
”I think that the might of Southern Star military is overrated. I want to prove my point by cleaning up all the Novice trash here. After all, this military can only use the loop holes to make trouble for me and my friends. So, I am here to prove my point right.”
The soldiers immediately became angry.
