Chapter 449: A Balding Middle Aged Man? (1/2)
”Hello, girls. Are you ready to get into the stage?” Luna pretended to be cool but there was a shaky tinge on it that she just could not hide.
She had attended the final assessment for 3 years in a row but only as a mere spectator. Now she and the girls will at last get into the stage themselves and show their skills for all to see.
It did not need telling that Luna was quite nervous just like the rest of her girl friends.
”We are as ready as we can be, Luna.”
”But i think you and Samantha will have great chances to be picked by Grand Master Azodus.”
”Come on! We all know that the grand master doesn't always pick the strongest one.”
”Everyone of us has great hopes of getting chosen.”
”...” The five girls conversed amongst themselves and our bored gamer just stood there to listen.
He knew that it was not his place to interrupt so he merely gathered some more information about the big players in the scene.
Knowing one's enemy was of course a neat trick to have in the first place. One hour quickly passed and it was high time for the event to start.
There was great anticipation in the air as everyone knew about how extremely punctual the host of this event was.
And true to their expectations, the most important person of them all appeared without delay.
”TAP!”
”TAP!”
”TAP!” The slow walking footsteps seemed louder than it seemed. Everyone gazed at the arena and a friendly middle aged man walked into the center of attention.
He was garbed in a teacher's normal attire with a white neck tie to complete the set. What was strange was how ordinary he appeared.
The man even sported a balding head proudly into the open. Clark has of course known this middle aged man by the use of Caden's memory alone.
This was exactly the current principal of Clayton High, Mr. Peter Pen.
”It's good to see you, Grand Master Azodus!”
”We met again, Grand Master!”
”How are you, Grand Master Azodus?”
.
..
...
The greetings flowed from the guardians to the students and there were even young ones who said their admiration unto the middle aged man.
Alas, every single one of their words was met by a gentle wave of Grand Master Azodus' hands.
There was a smile on his kind face and this aura promoted a little light unto this otherwise stifling affair.
One should know that every single one of these students was wishing to be picked today.
Grand Master Azodus has already existed for several tens of thousands of years and has groomed countless experts from all over the universe.
No one amongst these students would be willing to waste this once in a lifetime event.
”Since the usual greetings are already over, it is time for us to start the final assessment for this year.”
