28 Chapter 28: Team Kill (2/2)
”Let's do that then.”
”While at it, we might as well draw for the remaining three members as well.”
The Iron Fist Society members were all nodding in agreement, pouncing on my suggestion and capitalizing on it. One of them began tearing a few pieces of paper apart, scribbled something into them, then rolled them up and stuck them in his fist.
With that, the order of the next four fighters was decided.

”Another team-kill!”
”Senior Richard is the best!”
Less than fifteen minutes later, all four matches ended. Predictably, they ended in my favor, with my Vermillion Phoenix utterly destroying them with its humongous flames. The last member was lying on the ground, blackened to a crisp, while medics hurried onto the stage to cart him off. Again, if it wasn't for the boundary field, they wouldn't be alive.
Most of the audience were dead silent, with the second and third years having unpleasant expressions on their faces. On the other hand, the first year students were whooping, screaming and cheering. Was it my imagination, or did the group where my ”fans” were situation grow larger again? I could have sworn there weren't that many of them at the start of the match…
”Winner…Student Richard Huang!” Teacher Fielding announced, his voice neutral. He wasn't allowed to take sides, so his voice wasn't filled with as much gusto or enthusiasm as the first year students.
”The Iron Fist Society's booth space will be given to the Great Eastern Society, as per the agreement.” Alicia also added to confirm. She nodded toward me with a bright smile. ”Congratulations, Student Richard.”
”Thank you.”
I wasn't able to exchange any more words because Dong Fang Yue Chu practically threw himself at me. I dodged on reflex, and watched in shock as he ended up sprawled on the ground before my feet.
”Thank you very much!” he blubbered. The guy had actually been crying. ”Thank you so much! You've saved me!”
”Yeah…anyway, we ought to change the name of our society, if you don't mind.”
”Anything! Anything for you, buddy!”
Dong Fang Yue Chu was openly weeping. Feeling a little awkward, I helped him to his feet and offered him a few pieces of tissue. He wiped at his tears and blew his nose.
”I owe you so much!”
”Okay, okay. Anyway, let's put that aside for now and start prepping our booth. We've quite the huge amount of space to cover.”
With the matches over, everyone was beginning to disperse. There was nothing more to watch, other than the sorry figures of the Iron Fist Society that I had just team-killed all by myself. Teacher Fielding was departing, having fulfilled his duties.
”I'll be going too,” Alicia told me. ”I also have to prepare for the Black Roses Society's booth.” She beamed. ”You're always welcome to drop by and say hello.”
”Oh, okay. Thanks.”
”Do come and say hi. Troy probably wants to talk to you as well.” Alicia giggled. ”No doubt he'll want to challenge you to a duel soon enough.”
I gulped. Spare me. Troy King was probably the one person I didn't want to face. That guy was a monster. I had no doubt he had a way to tear apart all of my summoned beasts with terrifying ease, even the four Celestial Guardians.
After watching Alicia leave, I then accompanied Dong Fang Yue Chu to the remains of his booth. The fans who were cheering for me were approaching, but I had to tell them to return the next day, because we had nothing to show them.
”Can't we help?” Harvey Deng asked.
”Nah, there's nothing much to help.” I glanced at the Iron Fist Society's booth. ”That's their stuff. If they're going to leave it here, then we'll use it. Otherwise we'll have to wait for them to take it away. Either way, there's not much else we can do until that's settled.”
”Oh, leave that to me,” Dong Fang Yue Chu brightened. ”I'll make sure to handle the negotiations! I'll pull in Black Roses Society as a mediator if necessary.”
”Okay. I'll be counting on you then.” I really didn't want to deal with those sort of stuff, and I was glad Dong Fang Yue Chu was around to settle those affairs. Turning to the expectant first year students, I smiled. ”It'll help us more if you visit our booth tomorrow.”
”Yes, Senior Richard!”
The first year students then dispersed. I watched them go, and then returned to repairing the broken pieces that the Iron Fist Society left in their wake earlier. Honestly, we only needed this amount of space, what with only two of us running the booth. On the bright side, I had eliminated an annoying neighbor that would be sure to harass us, or cause trouble.
”All right, let's get started…”
”By the way, Richard.” Dong Fang Yue Chu glanced at me while he was helping with the hasty repairs. ”You said something about changing the name of our society. You don't like the Great Eastern Society?”
”Uh, well…not really.”
”Fair enough.” Since I had helped him so much, Dong Fang Yue Chu took no offense. He was more grateful than annoyed. ”Do you already have another name in mind, then?”
”I actually do.” I grinned conspiratorially. ”It's…”
