Chapter 107 - Quitting (1/2)

The screen continued to randomise until it eventually stopped. The next two contestants shown on the screen were Dan and Arthur.

Dan went up to the stage with his spear in hand and so did Arthur with his longsword. Dan was ready after watching everyone fight. He had come to the academy in hopes to spread his name and his family's in the future.

His family were in charge of the spear division in Alure kingdom army but there weren't many spear users in the first place. His father had given him the task to convince people that the spear was still powerful and would hope by showing them how powerful the spear was, many people would choose to join the spear division.

This was Dan chance to prove it with everyone watching.

But then something unexpected happened. As soon as Arthur reached the stage and the war horn sounded. Arthur raised his hand.

”I forfeit from the competition,” Arthur said.

”NOOOOO!” Dan screamed in response.

Dan was currently in a battle mode mindset and he had been itching to fight, but now that his opponent had given up, there was no chance for him to show his skill.

”Due to Arthur forfeiting the competition Dan has automatically been declared the winner.”

The crowd began to mumble to each other. They weren't sure what reason Arthur had for quitting the competition after already making it this far. It didn't make any sense unless he was scared of his opponent and thought he was already going to lose.

But contestants were allowed to quit whenever they felt like it and didn't need to give an explanation.

The screen quickly went on to display the next fight, in hopes that the crowd didn't get too disappointed. The next match had been decided and it would be Martha against Cherry.

As Martha went to walk onto the stage Monk called out to her.

”Martha please don't get hurt too bad.”

Martha turned around and scuffed Monks hair up like a little dog.

”Don't worry about it, the master knights will stop anything if it is too dangerous remember?”

Monks face turned red as he was embarrassed that he was being treated like a puppy.

Martha then quickly walked off and went to go on stage.

”You know if I didn't know any better, I think you like her Monk,” Kyle said with a cheeky smile.

”What just because I told her not to get hurt.” Monk snapped back.

”Now that I think about it why didn't I see it before,” Dan said out loud. ”Of course, it was so obvious.”

”Shut up” Monk shouted back.

”I have to say you two don't suit each other at all,” Dan said.
