Chapter 275: Second Elimination round (2/2)
It wasn't like she had a feeling toward him. That certainly is not the case. Hm… never that would happen! Even though he looked different now, and that he looked strong, Maena believed that she and the others were still stronger than him.
If there was anything commendable about him, it was his way of thinking. But still, she disliked it. She disliked him. Yeah, she disliked him. He wasn't great. Many trainees could defeat that Bruno guy. She believed that she could defeat that Bruno with ease. So, for Maena, it wasn't surprising that Yman defeated Bruno. No, she hateshim! Wait, why was she hating him again?
Hasn't she told herself that she would be nicer towards him when she saw him again?
Maena was flabbergasted. She hated him, regardless. She will show him what real power is…
Wait…
She suddenly felt better. The fright she felt a while ago had suddenly vanished. Looks like hating that person gave benefit as well.
She hated Almina too.
”...”
With no apparent reason.
When the sun rose, the roads were already crowded with people. The elimination round yesterday gave a good impression on the citizens. Even the guests were starting to notice some promising youths. One of them was the businesswoman Sunday Sarake.
She was one of the big shareholders in the popular company of the game Newtendo.
After the first elimination round yesterday, the other businessmen approached her. They wanted to talk about business for sure.
Mayor Chan gave them reservations in the most luxurious hotel in the city. Not only that, it was heavily guarded as well. Although guards were unnecessary as she had her personal guards. But anyhow, it was only for showing good etiquette. She knew that.
Regardless, in front of her was a glass table. On top were some data. They were the data of some trainees who took her interest from that recent round.
”Hmm… these two looks familiar,” said the person in front of her.
”Yes, Jack. These two were from the Great Families.”
Jack peered on the documents. ”Hm, so they are from the Sun and Amulet family?”
”Yes!” Sunday nodded.
”I see, no wonder they are strong,” said Jack. He had well-trimmed blond hair and wore eyeglasses on his eyes. ”So, are we going to select between them for the next promotional video of our company?”
Sunday looked at him. ”Hmm… what do you think of them?”
Hearing her question, Jack made a thinking gesture while looking at the documents in his hands. ”Well, as expected of the descendants of great families, they are more talented than their peers,” Jack replied then pushed another document towards the sophisticated woman in front of him. ”Also, this golden-haired girl, she's a top-notch student as well. Don't you think?” He asked.
Sunday stared at the pictures for a couple of seconds.
”Hm… a foreign huh,” said Sunday after seeing the document. ”She's a beautiful young woman and strong but…” Sunday paused.
”But?”
”She seemed to be agitated by something,” said Sunday.
”She is?” Asked Jack.
Sunday nodded.
”I say,” Jack said. In his mind, he was admiring her discerning eyes.
Jack also showed the other documents. The two of them talked about them and gave their thoughts.
Half an hour later, ”How about that person, Madam?”
”Who do you mean?”
”The person who fought in the first match.”
”Oh, you mean him…”
”Yes, madam.”
”Hmm… how should I put it… he seemed to be rather Mysterious.”
”M-Mysterious!?”
”His ability to cancel the enemy's magical attack and be unaffected by the enemy's barrier, don't you think it is a weird ability?”
”Yeah, it is.”
”Regardless, did you get information about him?” She asked.
Jack sighed. ”Aside from having a sister, I couldn't get more about him.”
”I see… that's unexpected.”
”Yeah, sorry for my incompetence.”
”No, don't mind it.”
Sunday said. But in her mind, she felt it was rather suspicious that Jack could not get i formation about him. After all, Jack was a well-known person in information gathering.
”Right, the second elimination round is about to begin. Let's go!” Said Sunday. Then she stood up and walked towards the door.
The three admins of major departments were happy at the result of the first elimination round. It had average feedback from the guests. Well, being average was better than below average. Also, it was the first elimination round only. During this second elimination, they were hoping for more positive feedback from the guests.
