Chapter 415 - 415: Let the forge tournament begin! (2/2)

Walking out of the ark, Theo left while leaving the holographic projection for Jka and the girls to watch the tournament, since it was more enjoyable than watching from the stands.

Theo wore a gray V-neck T-shirt and dark blue pants and black sneakers. When he left the ark, many human and non-human people noticed his presence and looked in his direction.

Theo was the target of many looks. Some were already fans of him while some men were envious and jealous of him.

Although some were like that, others looked at him with disdain. Mainly because of the clothes Theo wears. It was a casual outfit that didn't look expensive. While many of them wore extravagant clothes with many precious stones sewn on the clothes.

Theo pretended that he didn't even see the scornful eyes in his direction and ignored it.

The site itself was like a large, flat field with chairs in increasing shape with thousands of human and non-human people. And because they were all cultivators, their vision and auditions were very good. Hearing the murmurs of many about Theo, made him the center of attention.

Mainly because of the show he gave while fighting at the martial arts tournament.

When Theo arrived at the arena, before he could pass identity verification, a young woman approached him and held out his hand: ”Hello, my name is Manuela Smith, it is a pleasure for me to be able to see you in person, I am a huge fan your.” She smiled.

Manuela Smith is a young woman who looked to be in her fifteen, dressed in a long light green dress, with a straight waist-length red hair and some strands of hair touched her delicate face due to the breeze, natural-red lips, and a pair of gem-like glittering blue eyes.

Theo looked her up and down and smiled as she shook her hand: ”Hello, Manuela, you can call me Theo, it's also a pleasure to meet you.”

Although she knew he was just being friendly, Manuela's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. She almost ran out of breath the moment he shook hands and said it was a pleasure to meet her.

Theo smiled thinking that she was a little cute when she saw her neck, cheek and ears turn red the color of a ripe apple and pulled her hand away. Manuela, who was trembling from head to toe with anxiety and nervousness for being close to her idol, felt a sense of loss the moment Theo stopped holding her hand.

After that, Theo and Manuela were received by tournament officials and underwent a simple identity check.

Even now, Theo was still the center of attention for many. While some looked with interest in Theo's direction, most looked at him in a hostile way. Mainly because he is first in the rank of the martial arts tournament and yet, he is participating in the forge tournament.

'To a limit for someone wanting to try to appear!'

'I hope he loses in the first stage!'

'Why does someone like that have to participate in the forging tournament too?'

'Damn, I hope his furnace explodes!'

'I hope his furnace explodes!'

'It would be hilarious if his furnace exploded~'

Too many negative thoughts from people who didn't dare say it out loud for fear of suffering the consequences. For many, Theo was an obstacle that was here to appear and not because he was a talented blacksmith.

Although Theo did not randomly read people's thoughts, he never failed to do it when there was negative energy in his direction. And on hearing what they were thinking... He was not happy about it at all.

It's okay that they don't have to like him, and he doesn't even expect that to happen, but that doesn't give them the right to curse him, wanting his furnace to explode...

'Be careful what you wish for, sometimes it can come back to you...' Theo murmured in his heart.

”I want everyone's attention now.” Presenter Mariana said: ”As everyone can see, there are low-quality level 1 furnaces for all participants to use when forging. And be warned that if the furnace explodes, you will not have the right to use another one, regardless of how much time has passed and how many weapons you have forged, the end result will be what you guys achieved before the furnace exploded.”

She continued as soon as she saw that they were silent when they received the furnaces: ”In addition to the furnaces, who welcome the three blacksmith companies with a round of applause: Winds, Felix and Linder provided the necessary items to forge. What are 100 metal sets and 100 magic cores from the Apprentice Realm!”

”Applause!”

”Applause!”

...

In the VIP rooms, the sponsor's smile and wave.

”Now that everyone has heard the rules and that all the furnaces and items have been delivered, let the forge tournament begin!”
