Chapter 129 Competing (1/2)

The spectacled man had gotten Dumby totally wrong. He had thought it was just an average joe, but it turns out that Dumby was the complete opposite of that.

The way Dumby smoked really impacted the spectacled man's spirit. I wouldn't care if a skeleton wants to smoke. I mean, it might just be a hobby. But this familiar doesn't even need to light its cigarette to smoke it! That is too outrageous.

The man looked down at his cigarette and went into deep thought. Was he the one who was doing it wrong? Maybe not lighting up the cigarette was the correct way to smoke...

This was a question worth pondering.

”Teacher,” said a voice, bringing him back to reality.

A black-haired girl in a black exercise outfit said to him with a blank expression, ”My dad won't let me participate in the second round.”

”That's fine. This is completely voluntary. This is much more dangerous after all. There is some risk to this,” said the man, comforting her. She was a girl after all, and as he was a father to a daughter, he could understand why her father wouldn't want her to join the competition.

”But I want to take part in the competition,” said the black-haired girl.

”What?” asked the man, rubbing his eyes. ”So, what you mean is…”

”I don't need my parent's approval to join, right?” asked the girl.

”According to the rules, no, you don't need their approval, but…”

The man was put in a hard position. Of course he understood her father's position, but it was just a one-sided understanding for him.

But this was not the most important thing. He was a strong-willed man, but he would still succumb under pressure.

She did not require her parent's consent because she was already 18 years old. She had the power to make her own decisions. If they were close, then he would be in an awkward position.

After the girl finished listening, she nodded, saying, ”I want to apply to enter.” She then stood to the side and stayed quiet, gently touching her Black Anaconda's head.

The man eyes' hurt a little, so he squinted.

Whatever happens doesn't concern me! I'm just the handler!

”Okay! You need to sign a release-of-liability form before you start,” the man said and nodded.

He then asked if there was anyone who wanted to withdraw.

Two guys stepped forward, looking very embarrassed. After all, a girl whose family did not want her to enter still entered, but they, two grown man, decided to withdraw. It was so embarrassing!

”It's fine. It is understandable,” the spectacled man said cheerily.

The two students took their familiars and left.

After half an hour had passed, the spectacled man asked again, ”Is there anyone who wants to withdraw?”

The remaining six shook their heads silently. No one left.

”Okay, the airplanes are almost here,” the spectacled man said as he looked up to the sky.

Two fighter jets tore through the sky, leaving white streaks behind them.

The vast plain they were standing on had been cleaned up and partially paved with cement so that the planes could land.
