Chapter 55: Gauntlets Were Thrown Down (2/2)
At the same time, Samantha heard a familiar beep and quickly accessed her Sky-net, and then grabbed her fist in excitement upon reading the email. She had won the deal!
Obviously, Wang Ben was no coward, of course, he would agree to start from the very beginning, just like Ma Xiaoru and Hu Yangxuan. No matter who you are, new students of Ayrlarng must began at the F-Class — and no exception would be given!
Not on her watch!
“Good news I presume?” Wang Tong asked.
“Yup, great news in fact! You really are my lucky star, but please keep it between us for the time being.” Samantha felt wonderful, even though she wasn’t sure why would Wang Ben thanked her for her appreciation since they had never met each other before, still, this was definitely something worth to be celebrated.
Wang Tong nodded and was about to excuse himself when Samantha stopped him: “Please inform Hu Yangxuan that there will be a celebration at Xiaoru’s place tonight. I’ll break the good news to you lads later.”
“Shouldn’t we have it this weekend instead?” Wang Tong nodded again, somehow he could tell what was going on.
“Sounds good to me. Cheers!” the gorgeous-looking principal seemed to be having a pocketful of sunshine.
“Oh, by the way, everything alright regarding your Caretaker duty?” Somehow Samantha felt strange for not receiving any complaints of “perverted” activities at Dorm No.5, and there were no issues at all! The female students of Ayrlarng shouldn’t be that easy to handle.
“So far so good, I always get the job done,” Samantha didn’t say much to his reply. She was still in a good mood, at the point that she had even forgotten her original intention to appoint Wang Tong as the Caretaker.
Apart from being excited, Samantha then realized that she hasn’t contacted Martyrus yet. God bless Wang Ben for choosing Ayrlarng; finally, they were able to stand a chance against Bernabeu. Even so, she needed to act with cautious when facing the cunning old fox.
She looked at the time, thinking that the old dirt might be calling anytime soon to pressure her.
“Ring! Ring!”
“Haha, so Principal Samantha, may I hear your final decision?” Martyrus appeared on the screen, amiably beaming at Samantha like some normal old man.
“I’m sorry Principal Martyrus, but I still need to consider a little longer...” Samantha made it appear as if she was still struggling with it.
Martyrus smiled and replied, “I’m afraid that’s not possible Principal Samantha, you must understand that your decision will affect the outcome of this event and also the future of Ayrlarng. As you can see, A-ranked academies don’t always get such precious opportunity to compete against S-ranked academies. Just so you know, I received an invitation from Rousseau Academy just a while ago, anyhow, I decided to reserve the opportunity to you, for the sake of the good relationship between Ayrlarg and Bernabeu of more than a decade.”
Martyrus wasn’t being too hasty as he noticed Samantha’s indecisive expression. She might have been an outstanding student, but definitely still a long way to go as the principal of an academy. Not to mention, Ayrlarng was nothing more than a decaying statue in his eyes, and it would crumble apart and be forgotten anyway in the end. Generally speaking, time was not keeping up with her ideology.
“Well, it’s okay if you decided to give up anyway, sometimes youngsters like you need to learn to be more steady and not to get too impulsive,” the words came from Martyrus intentionally.
“No, Principal Martyrus, we have decided to accept your challenge, even though Ayrlarng might not be as good as Bernabeu, yet I’m sure we will be able to win with our courage and fearlessness,” Samantha replied sternly.
“Oh bravo! That’s the spirit! So I’ll be expecting you to convince Ma Xiaoru and Hu Yangxuan to participate then.” Martyrus chuckled.
“Don’t get too cocky, Principal Martyrus. It’s still too soon to decide who will be the winner.”
“Very well, I’ll see you in the arena then.”
“Certainly, see you in a month.”
