Chapter 278: The 1st match of the second round (2/2)

Lier? Yman repeated the word while knitting his brows. Could that word be for him? He blinked his eyes. But soon he pushed the thought at the back of his head as the second elimination was about to start.

When they arrived inside he saw Keremi and the other members from Elite class. Keremi then greeted him, calling him by the usual name.

Kiko and his friends also arrived inside. But their gazes were like gazes of some hostile predators.

A bead of sweats was forming at the back of Yman's head as he felt a strong intent towards him. Well, Kiko's blunder was made by him alone. The only thing that he could not understand was that their bad intentions were mainly focused on him! What is he?

The successor of their animosity? That whenever they felt angry they picked him as their target.

”...”

He was speechless at the unreasonableness of these people. Yman smirked to irritate them further. When he noticed their eyes turned colder and colder while looking at him, he chuckled.

Regardless, the second round had finally started. The first pair who came up on stage was a girl with a heavyweight figure. He remembered her, she was in the same class as him.

”Good luck, Julie!”

Looked like her name was Julie. Her full name was Julie Brown. The girl who shouted her name was the girl who was seated next to Julie.

Regardless, her enemy was a male trainee. He was using the nickname Clawmaster while Julie Brown was using Julie only. Both of them were already in resonance with their deity, so after the bell produced a loud high-pitched tone, they summoned their weapons.

”I-it wasn't my brother?” Yana who was sitting in the audience podium muttered regretfully. She was expecting her brother to come out first like yesterday.

Rea glanced at her and smiled. ”The selection was random,” she said.

”Ah, I see. Uhm, Miss Rea… will my brother be alright?” She asked with a worried face.

”Uh, he will. It's only competition and those little deities with them are convenient human devices. Because of it, I bet they won't even suffer a slight injury. Besides, your brother is a person that is hard to comprehend. He's not someone that could be described with simple words. And also…”

”.....also?”

”Uh, eh, nevermind! Regardless, the fight is about to start,” Rea said to change the topic.

Yana tilted her head. She wondered why Miss Rea suddenly turned redder. Right. She was also wondering about the relationship her brother has with Miss Rea.

Could it be she was his girlfriend? She wondered. And why was she hiding her face with a hood? She wasn't even ugly. In fact, Miss Rea was a beautiful lady.

On the stage,

Clawmaster summoned a pair of knuckles with claws and lightweight armor. Julie, on the other hand, used a pair of red wristbands and fitted red leather armor. The silver metal was protecting her chest area.

The audience was cheering but not so lively. The reason must be because it was only the first match and the pair who were battling on stage weren't their preferred contestants.

In the VIP room, some of the VIPs were casually talking about businesses and other matters. It was clear that the audience wasn't so hype. Most of them were waiting for their favored contestants to step on the stage.

But their attention was soon glued to the stage when the two contestants engaged in a brawl in the center of the stage.

The two of them traded punches. Clawmaster used his speed advantage while raining combos of attacks on Julie.

Everyone gawked. They did not expect such a blood boiling fight.

Seeing that she was at the disadvantage, Julie used her arms to shield her face. Her eyes were peeking at the gaps. Like a predator who was waiting to devour her opponent.

Although her body was full of wounds and bruises, it didn't weaken her defense.

Right after her enemy slowed down, she used a hidden ability that strengthened her body and toughen her muscles. All the wounds healed in an instance. After her hands caught her enemy, she didn't let it go until the person turned to light particles. She repeatedly smashed it to the ground. It was supposed to be a gruesome death if not because of their resonance.

And so the match was decided that was followed by earth-shaking applause after a slight stun.

Some audience started to chant Julie's name. She gained quite a fan. Not bad for someone who came from the lowest class.

The next match followed immediately.
