Just as Rhode expected, merely within three hours after the end of the midsummer festival individual tournament, various rumors with similar content spread across the entire Golden City Most of the people criticized StarlightRosen using the vile ‘ti him afterward It was a humiliation for the midsummer festival and Sacred Arena to have such a ruthless winner; it could even be considered the most shameless victory in the midsummer festival history!
Some radical members even called for a joint alliance to present a petition to Royal Highness Lydia in hope to rely denounced Starlight’s bold actions, screa for the Mercenary association and Lydia to step out to uphold a fair and justified battle environed to win the championshi+p with such a despicable method, it would eventually set a bad exaroups in the future!
Shortly after the event, Starlight becaarded as what others referred to as a sinner Only after pinning hi satisfaction to everyone
But amidst the intense storm of criticisms, some nepoints quietly arose
Unlike those who conderoup, the ‘nepoints’ were from people who took a neutral stand They believed Rhode and Starlight didn’t coravely misunderstood
Their rationale went like this, “You said they dragged the time in order to defeat Rosen, but you also have to think froht only had Rhode left, right?”
“Rosen faced four opponents, and so did Rhode The participants of Liberty Wings Guild were ht members Other than Rhode, the rest weren’t even at the Advanced Stage Since Starlight could e and defeat Rosen, why couldn’t Liberty Wings do the same?”
“Isn’t it perfectly normal not to show mercy to your enee, naturally they had to try their best It is one matter if the opponent can’t bear to kill, but it’s also another ht? Also, wouldn’t it be better if they didn’t agree with the life and death challenge?”
In the beginning, this new logical approach didn’t garner radually spread like wildfire This was as expected as only ten of thousands of people witnessed the afternoon tournament which didn’t even count to one-fifth of the total population of Golden City
The people eren’t able to watch the h hearsay Rhode’s performance was very much controversial — to the extent that theand swearing And for the people who didn’t ht that these arguments were all incomparably accurate
However, the audience tones were overly aggressive and ht Barter on the Sacred Arena face-to-face, so everyone thought since this ht Barter, he shouldn’t be despicable and shas Therefore, row doubtful of the stories froence of the neutral ‘nepoints’ spontaneously erupted, iht Most iressive as the initial rants from the audience Instead, they seemed to calmly explain to the ‘obscure masses who didn’t know the truth’ Of course, this entire process itated audience However, they won the masses with their calmness, reasonable explanations, and less hatred
On one hand, they presented themselves like innocent, bashful children and on the other hand, there were a steady and reasonable bunch of adults Furthermore, the entire process didn’t differ much from those explained by the audience, so it naturally beca and acceptable
A portion of the angry audience began to cal the explanation However, there was still a disht as Dark Brotherhood rats, on which only hating on them was the proper way, and it was a sin if one defends thean to deplore those who believed the new ruinations and in turn, retaliated by spreading stateuys didn’t watch the tournament so hoill you kno shameless those people were?”
This time, the majority of the people who didn’t watch the final matchup were upset by this claim Humans were considered to be a contradictory lifefor contradiction within them Many of them flaunted themselves as calm, detached and rational individuals This way, they could her than the others So how should they express this side of them? Of course, they had to refute with public opinions! Since ancient times, this method was universal no matter which world in the vast er reainst the other party’s passionate opinions, stating they were too extreh one didn’t watch theJust like as previously mentioned, the conditions for both parties were equal Rhode sacrificed four of his men to defeat Rosen, and he equally faced four opponents by himself to secure the win Since that was the case, why shouldn’t he receive the recognition that he deserved?
In response to this, th, so why couldn’t such a powerful person fight Rosen fairly instead of resorting to such trivial sche whether the ruth was true Nevertheless, even if it was true, the other th Thus, it didn’t seeht? What if he fought Rosen face-to-face and was defeated? Wouldn’t Starlight lose because of this? As a leader, one should always ! As the su of creatures and therefore why are you people still being sore over it?
These people thought that Rhode’s decisions were reasonable Moreover, Starlight didn’t break any rules, and his choices as the leader led his relatively weak race, this unprecedented outcoe in the tournalorious history because it broke the illusion of powerful guilds being undefeatable by anything below theht to clench their teeth in fury as they continuously denounced that these people couldn’t differentiate right fro and were irrational to trust the words of others even without witnessing the tournament with their own eyes
