Chapter 21 - 21: Am I Rich? (1)

"Winner, Van!"

The students didn't cheer, or perhaps it was better to say that they didn't have the opportunity to They just stared at Van's hand which was raised by Mr Jacobs in the air

Unlike the first match, where they clearly sahat happened and thus they had a lot to say, here… Everything happened in a split second, perhaps literally And so, they just remained silent, and maybe because it is for the best If they were Van's opponent, the cheerings would definitely hurt theh as he looked at Van At his level, he easily stopped Van before his fingers could reach Beatrice's eye from his position But what happened before that, he could not even react

When Van ran during the race, it was long enough for his eyes to adjust to Van's speed But this time, since the platforolden blur trailing across the stage

'This… is absolutely crazy', Mr Jacobs could not help but slightly grin as a drop of sweat appeared from his face

Of course, the one that was most affected by what happened was and is Beatrice She blinked a couple of ti of the covered field Her neck was resting on Van's hand as he was still grabbing her unifor Beatrice's duhtly pushed up and released her uniform's collar, "Are you okay?", he asked

"Yes", Beatrice could only answer meekly as she was still quite at a loss as to what happened

Did she just lose? But she didn't even have a chance to do anything yet

Was… their difference that big? Is she fated to be only a number 2 because of Van's existence? Then what has she been training for all this tiht as she looked to the ground

Before anyhts could come to her mind, Mr Jacobs let out a loud clap

"And that concludes the shon for this year!", Mr Jacobs raised his hand in victory as he howled in joy, "And as expected, I won again this year, Lang!", he then pointed his finger aggressively towards Mr Lang, his head al with howonly raised his round, returning the field to hoas before Well, except for where Jacobs' was standing, that part of the field violently rose up, causing Jacobs to catapult into the air

Jacobs landed beside the fe this field today And of course, what he got was another nagging

"Leave! My students have been waiting for almost an hour now!", the female instructor said as she pointed her hand outside the field

"Okay, okay", Jacobs quickly raised his hand in defeat, "Let's go claim your rewards then, fishes!", he then ran towards his students and started pushi+ng theuild representatives were already waiting

"Hey guys", Harvey waved his hand aardly as Van and Beatrice walked past him, "N… nice match", he stuttered

His eyes wandered everywhere as he took glances at Beatrice, whose head was currently looking at the ground He then looked at Van with a complicated expression

Sure, he was the first to tell Van not to hold back, but he didn't say to coed her prideit on fire

But after a few more seconds, Beatrice lifted her head as she released a deep breath She then looked at Van straight in the eye and said, "Next ti to win 1st place!"

In response to this, Van only nodded with a slight smile on his face

"hello! hello!"

"We're frouild!"

"Perhaps you are interested in joining our…"

As soon as the students passed by the exits, the guild representatives cauild uilds did not even approach Van and Beatrice, as they knew the big guilds were also looking at the to scout and poach them

Well, there's no chance for them to recruit Bea or Van, but that doesn't mean they can't recruit his friend

"Would you like to try to join our guild?"

"We have a lot of incentives!"

"Here, you can have this, just visit our guild!"
