Chapter 94 – Absence Without Cause is a Forfei (2/2)

Who wears high heels to a competition? Shouldn’t there be a limit in wishing to look good? Is she looking down on her opponents?

But what happens in the other groups isn’t important. As long as Lin Xiao can defeat the others in the E group, he can successfully make it out of the first stage and advance to the second stage’s knockout competition!

The first stage was child’s play, the second stage was where the real show is!

“Lin Xiao, you’re here… hehe.” Watching Lin Xiao walking onto the stage, Teacher Momm chuckled harboring ill intent.

“Eh… teacher, what are you laughing at?”

“Lin Xiao, did you think that you would be able to advance because you weren’t in the same group as Caesar? How naive, kid!” Momm smugly felt his bald head while whispering to Lin Xiao before the competition starts, “You should already know all the other contestants in E group, right?”

“Yeah.” Lin Xiao replied.

“Sigh, how unfortunate. Groups are made entirely random and are completely impartial, so it was just unlucky that you were assigned to E group, you can’t complain even if you don’t advance.”

“Unlucky?” Lin Xiao froze for a bit, then he understood what teacher Momm was implying.

Why was Lin Xiao unlucky for getting assigned to E group? It was simple, it was because Lin Xiao was the only magician in E group, all the others were warriors!

Everyone knows that in a 1v1, magicians had a natural disadvantage, unless there was a large disparity in strength, if they were the same level, it was virtually impossible for a magician to defeat a warrior!

To everyone else, Lin Xiao was only a fourth level magician, and all the others in E group were fourth level warriors who had grasped the basics of battle aura!

How could Lin Xiao, a mere magician, advance forward facing this group of warriors?

Not only Momm, the other students weren’t optimistic for Lin Xiao, and felt regretful at his tragic encounter, so there weren’t a lot of students there.

“Teacher Momm, other than me, there’s also Harrison, Harden, and Hart, right?” Lin Xiao asked.

“That’s right, you know them?” Momm asked with surprise, “Although those three brothers fool around all day, their strengths are all top notch! The eldest brother, Harrison, even managed to learn a battle skill, Mountain Splitter, its strength is tremendous!”

“Mountain Splitter? Oh.” Lin Xiao blinked.

He saw that move last night, what can he say? It was okay, pretty strong.

“Lin Xiao, you clung to Caesar to muddle through the actual combat drill, this time, you won’t be so lucky!” Momm chuckled, “I know these three well, they have solid foundations, and their battle aura is quite good, although their only fourth level warriors now, they’ll soon surpass me!”

“Oh, how powerful.” Lin Xiao went along with it.

“But don’t grieve, Lin Xiao, even if you can’t beat them now, one day you’ll become a grand magician that’ll surpass them!” Momm patted Lin Xiao’s shoulder and seriously said, “Don’t worry, I’ll save you right away when it looks like you’re going to lose, I definitely won’t let you get injured!”

“Oh… thank you very much, teacher Momm.” Although he knew he wouldn’t get injured, Lin Xiao still appreciated Momm’s consideration.

Momm was a warrior department teacher, and he was a magic department student that Woos was deeply fond of, showing off his students was like showing off to Woos. Look, the students I taught is about to defeat your student!

Pride, arrogance, that was probably how Momm felt, Lin Xiao didn’t really mind, but Momm probably wouldn’t be able to be smug for long.

E group’s first duel, Lin Xiao vs Harden.

“Harden? Harden?”

Momm was picturing an exciting scene of his beloved student beating up Lin Xiao, but no one responded after he shouted a couple of times.

“What’s going on? Did that Harden not come?”

One minute, two minutes… no one came, Lin Xiao standing on the side began to yawn.

“Teacher, is my opponent still not here?” He feigned innocence and asked.

“Eh… where did that Harden run off to? How could he be late to such an important competition? Did he go drinking last night? That brat!” Momm anxiously scratched his large bald head, “Um… Lin Xiao, let’s wait for a bit more. He’ll probably come in a bit!”

“Yeah, no problem. But teacher, according to competition rules, if a contestant doesn’t show up 10 minutes after it starts with no cause, then it’s considered a forfeit and the other side automatically wins.” Lin Xiao said, “Teacher Momm, you wouldn’t break the rules to shield your students, right?”

“That…” Momm hesitated.

Lin Xiao was right, although he was Harden’s teacher, he was standing on the stage as a judge, he had to abide by the competition rules. If the judge didn’t abide by the rules, wouldn’t the competition be a joke?

But the problem is, where did Harden go? He was still seen yesterday, why did he just disappear the next day?
