Chapter 743: The fight before the semi-finals (1/2)

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

The moment Osborne turned to look at Selina, she was also currently looking at him. Both of their eyes showed their determination and confidence to fight and triumph against the other.

”Are you ready?” Osborne asked.

”Heh, I have long been waiting for you to end your fight against Faye,” Selina replied while slowly standing up from the ground and staring at Osborne courageously.

Although Selina's height was greatly inferior compared to Osborne when the two of them were standing close together, she was still just like Faye, who is currently expressing that she would never back down against Osborne through her stand.

”Really worthy of being his Highness, Elmont's girlfriend,” Osborne expressed his admiration for Selina.

”Is that even a question? As one of the future Madam of the Evergreen Royal Family, it would be a huge humiliation for me if I cower even before facing against you,” Selina sneered.

”Indeed,” Osborne totally agreed with what Selina had just said. He added, ”But don't think that I'll show you any mercy just because you are his Highness, Elmont's girlfriend. If I need to cripple you to win, then all of you should expect that I will do exactly that in order to win,”

”Likewise,” Selina also has the same thought in her mind.

After those lines were exchanged, both Osborne and Selina went to their respective corners even before any staff could approach them and tell the two of them to prepare for their fight.

As soon as one of the staff saw Osborne and Selina's action, he quickly went towards them to oversee their fight. Otherwise, the two of them might just go into a fight before it could even be announced to the spectators.

”What is this? Sister Selina and Osborne from the Red Fist Guild seem to be eager to start their fight as soon as possible,” Elmont didn't delay and started announcing about the preparation for the beginning of Selina and Osborne's fight.

”Indeed! Good thing that you were able to notice it quickly, seventh brother Elmont,” Princess Tifa directed her attention towards Selina and Osborne.

”Osborne's fight against Faye had just ended a few seconds ago, yet he is already ready to have his second fight. As expected from a member of the Orc race, not to mention a member of one of the major independent Guilds in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, the Red Fist Guild,” Princess Tila added.

Both Princess Tifa and Princess Tila heave a sigh of relief after saying those lines. Good thing that they were fortunate enough to respond timely to Elmont's sudden announcement.

”Wouldn't Osborne be at a disadvantage with this, sister Tila? Since, just like what you have said, he had just finished his fight against Faye,” Princess Tifa asked curiously.

”You're asking the wrong person for that, sister Tifa,” Elmont interrupted while slowly controlling his flying platform parked by the side to float towards the direction of his two sisters. While hovering upward, he continued, ”I don't know if some of you have noticed this, but from the start until the end of Osborne's fight against Faye, he has been trying his best to limit the amount of stamina and energy he used. While at the same time, he was also trying to recuperate some of them. Though not significantly that much, since Faye was, just like what Osborne had said before the end of their fight, was a good opponent, or in other words, a difficult opponent,”

Elmont was only trying to downside things because he knew what Osborne intended to do when he said those lines before finally defeating Faye. If he really announces the truth to everyone that Osborne was merely using their fight to recuperate stamina and energy to prepare for his fight against Selina, then Faye would highly likely experience the greatest disappointment of her life in herself. Perhaps this might even lead to her getting discouraged to continue working hard to cultivate and become stronger. By that time, not only will the Light Magic Guild lose a genius, but the Emerald Tree Kingdom will also lose a valuable asset that can protect its territory. In other words, Faye is just like Edi, albeit even more important than the latter, especially considering the wide gap between the two people's capabilities.

”Eh? But wouldn't it be more advantageous for Osborne to continue recuperating then and not immediately start the fight against sister Selina?” Princess Tila raised another question.

”Not necessarily,” Elmont shook his head in disagreement. He explained, ”If Osborne chooses to continue recuperating, then this would also allow Selina to recuperate even more stamina and energy as well. And as we all already noticed, after her fight against Faye in the first round ended, Selina was able to rest and wait for the revival round to be over,”

”That simply means to say that the gap between Selina and Osborne's stamina and energy would constantly remain the same regardless of him choosing to start the fight now or later on, as she would likewise continue raising her stamina and energy, like him,”
