Chapter 88: Will Die Nine out of Ten Times (1/2)

”Oh?”

Romeo raised an eyebrow.

He stared right at Hugo and found no trace of deceit in his eyes.

It has to be known that Romeo was a Predator with a Profession classified as Ranger. His skills in finding false amidst the truths could be considered as topnotch. The instant the words came out of Hugo's mouth, he immediately discovered that Hugo wasn't lying.

He really did think that they deserved the first place.

But on what basis?

Romeo became irritated.

His ability could make him realize the false between the truths, but he had a natural enemy.

The bane of his ability was delusional people.

For Romeo, Hugo was nothing else than a delusional man.

He despised to deal with him personally.

But since he was signed under Ria's name; he had to treat Hugo with the respect that he deserved just because he was scouted and invited by Ria.

If not for this fact, then Romeo wouldn't even spare him a glance. To be honest, he didn't even care about these newbies that were bound to be cannon-fodders in his opinion.

The only reason why he was even here was because of Ria.

Yes, that's right.

Romeo was trying to get Ria's attention on him but to no avail.

Ria treated him like a brick wall, something undeserving of her attention.

It greatly frustrated Romeo, but it also gave him the courage and motivation to continue what he was doing.

He thought that as long as he could have Ria's attention then everything would be worth it.

”What makes you think that you deserve the championship than the other groups?”

Romeo provocatively replied.

Hugo remained steadfast in the face of his provocations as he said, ”The difficulty that we experienced in Mount Spirit Sword Asylum is far greater than the difficulty that these people experienced!”

”I beseech, sir Custodian to look deeper into the matter and bestow rewards upon those who clearly deserve it more than the others!”

Hugo didn't mince words at all.

As soon as he completed his sentence, an uproar occurred.

Screams of anger filled the entire school gym.

Some of the students even tried throwing their shoes towards Hugo, but Hugo didn't give them any attention at all.

He just stared right at Romeo with a serious look on his face.

Obviously, he was waiting for Romeo's reply.

Romeo clicked his tongue and found Hugo's interference as annoying.

He surreptitiously glanced at Ria and found that Ria was finally willing to look at him.

Shit! She's looking at me!

Romeo excitedly whispered to himself.

He straightened his back, cleared his throat, and announced, ”Stop!”

His dignified voice was embued with Mana, so his voice reverberated like thunder.

In an instant, the rowdy school gym became as silent as the night.

Romeo's eyes flicked with seriousness as he asked, ”Elaborate... Tell me why you think that the Mount Spirit Sword Aslyum that you encountered is far harder than the others. Sure, there may be a lot of madmen in that asylum, but I do not think that it was that hard to avoid them as long as you are capable of thinking and have common sense.”

Romeo's voice was grating in the ears.

Scarlette trembled in anger.

The other girls aside from Medea and Jannette were pretty much infuriated by his question.

But since Hugo was the one facing him... They knew that they had to keep their silence.

They stared right at Hugo's back as Hugo took a deep breath and replied, ”The difficulty of our experience in Mount Spirit Sword Asylum is far different than what we had imagined. I don't even think that it's for newbies like us! To be honest, even experienced people will die nine out of ten times as soon as they entered that place!”

There was still this trace of fear inside Hugo's eyes.

But as soon as his words came out, amusement flashed across everyone's faces.

Some even started laughing without caring for Hugo's feelings.

Romeo was also amused. The quality of these newbies is far lower than I had expected. To think that he'd say something like that... Even experienced people would die nine out of ten times? What a joke! Romeo inwardly mocked.

But of course, on the outside, he maintained a calm and composed facade.
