Chapter 653 - Colder (2/2)

By now, the members of Valiant Hall had been aware of all the commotion.

In order to enforce their neutral stance, usually, only a few members of Valiant Hall came to organize this event. However, they wouldn't show their faces. Rather, the individuals who opened this platform for the young man to speak were the only members of the Valiant Hall present.

When they heard to the words the young man was speaking, how could they not panic? They had thought, much like everyone else, that this would be targeting another Peak. The likely guess was Brave Peak or maybe Honor Peak, but they had never thought that it wasn't a Peak at all.

This may sound odd. If Valiant Hall wasn't here in some substantial capacity, then how would these things be settled upon?

The answer came in two layers. First, the crowd, with the only exception of freshmen who had yet to join a Peak, would vote on the validity of the arguments presented. As long as there was a majority acceptance for the claims levied, the final outcome would be decided by combat.

Whatever battles that occurred would be restricted to the youth as a way of maintaining the majority of the peace in the organization.

But… with this came a massive issue.

By now, if everyone didn't know who this young man was, they'd be too foolish. This young man was a legend in his own right, the most powerful youth on Valiant Hall Mountain, a young man who would soon grow into a man that could overshadow even Valiant Hall Mountain's Head.

Despite his plain appearance, despite his unhurried words or his monotone delivery, even despite his relatively short stature, he was the most respected student of Valiant Heart Mountain.

The Hero. Raylion.

Finding another member of the younger generation to defeat him? Was that a joke?

The moment Hero Peak stepped forward, this matter was as good as over. As long as their evidence was strong enough, Valiant Hall didn't stand a single chance.

But the question was… Was there evidence strong enough?

The fact that they dared to call this meeting seemed to signal that the answer to this question was yes… And the moment Raylion began to speak on these matters, was the exact moment they realized just how true this was.

Raylion stretched out a hand. Understanding his meaning, Aphestus immediately handed over a scroll.

Unfurling it without much fanfare, Raylion allowed the end of the scroll to clatter against the ground. His actions seemed unhurried and without theatrics, but anyone who understood anything about human psychology could realize just how terrifying this Raylion was.

Leonel didn't notice it, but Aina definitely did. His gaze only grew colder and colder, not moving from Raylion from start to finish.. At that moment, it was hard to tell exactly what Leoenl was thinking of.
