Chapter 121: The Supreme Reigner
Translator: Double_LEditor: Tehrn
A new day has begun. Wang Tong woke up early in the morning and went for a jog to warm up and awaken the cells in his body and brain. Then he kick-started his day by initializing his Tactics of the Blade, but it wasn’t just about practicing the initialization, he was actually aiming to master the detailed utilization of the GN Force in his attacks. He knew that he had to master these details in order to unleash more powerful attacks in the future.
It was obvious that Wang Tong loved challenges, he would become energetic and sometimes even turned impatient when he discovered a new task for him to overcome. He was the type of person that would enjoy the difficulties within a challenge.
As soon as Wang Tong stepped a foot into the F-Class, his fellow classmates began cheering and clapping. No one expected that Ayrlarng would be able to defeat Bernabeu, this was indeed the biggest event in Ayrlarng throughout the years, everyone in the academy had been longing for such a merry celebration.
All thanks to the big-mouthed Carl, now everyone in F-Class knew that Wang Tong was the real hero for winning two and a half rounds in the whole tournament.
”Fellas, from now onward, Wang Tong will be the leader of the F-Class, everyone agrees?” Carl yelled as he jumped on the table.
”Agree!” The whole class pounded their tables to show signs of agreeing.
Aside from Ma Xiaoru and Wang Tong, Wang Ben and Carl were the other two candidates from F-Class. Everyone expected Wang Tong would be selected because he was quite skilled in METAL Combats, yet no one expected him to be THAT strong. The strong ones were always the secretive ones; nevertheless, Wang Tong managed to make the F-Class proud with his outstanding performances.
”Why are you acting all humble?” Ma Xiaoru joked.
”I’ve always been humble.” Wang Tong shrugged.
”Bullsh*t! You better tell me what’s going on between you and Sam, did she assign you on some secret missions?” Ma Xiaoru asked.
”Huh, what?”
”Stop acting like a fool you jerk! I know you and Sam went somewhere else yesterday for the whole day, so don’t tell me you were not with her yesterday!” Ma Xiaoru ”interrogated” Wang Tong as she stared at him with her big, glittering eyes.
Wang Tong wished he could tell the truth; however, he had decided to put his feelings to a pause as the ”thing” between him and Samantha has ended. Furthermore, there were still a lot of things in his life that required his effort and attention; hence he decided to waste no time on this topic anymore.
”Why don’t you ask the principal? I’m sure she knows better than I do.” Wang Tong fudged.
”Hmph, no need to ask her, without a doubt Sam was talking to you about Capth and also her plans about forming an alliance with Bernabeu.”
”Oh?”
”I believe soon she’ll ask for my assistance for the upcoming training venue, but I’m not gonna tell you anything further!” Ma Xiaoru said in an impish tone, she had absolutely no idea that Wang Tong was actually on a date with Samantha yesterday.
It might have been a pure and simple relationship if Wang Tong chose Ma Xiaoru; however, he had chosen Samantha instead, which destined him to take on the tough road ahead.
Ma Xiaoru was born in a pampered environment where she could have anything she desired, even her tactics were directly inherited from her family. She was living the life of a princess which she wasn’t required to fight for her ambition since the FFC was already a top-notch financial corporation. However, Samantha was different, DREAM might be a big company, but it focused only on gaming businesses; moreover, Wang Tong was obsessed with her persistent staunch, he liked the way Samantha never gave up even though she was only a normal person who failed her mind opening attempt. He was able to see himself in her; however, this was also the reason why they weren’t destined to be together.
The teacher announced the news of Ayrlarng vanquishing Bernabeu excitedly during the class, which boosted the confidence of Ayrlarng, and now, everyone began to trust Samantha and started to believe in her leadership to resurrect Ayrlarng from misery.
During lunch, Wang Tong, Ma Xiaoru, Hu Yangxuan, and Wang Ben were seen having lunch together as always. Wang Ben had no class early in the morning, so he was in charge of buying their meals.
”Did you all know? Apparently, Capth got owned!” Hu Yangxuan said, since Capth was the ”common enemy” of every other military academy, most of them were excited to see them humiliated, one man’s poison would always be every other man’s meat.
”Yup, watched it!” Wang Ben nodded.
Ma Xiaoru looked puzzled, ”What happened?”
”Cisco, the No.1 amongst Capth’s second graders went to challenge Einherjar Wannabe in the TPA out of the blue, but he totally got owned, it was a dramatic tragedy indeed,” Hu Yangxuan kept shaking his head as he spoke
”Is that a joke?”.
”A joke? You tell her, Wang Ben!” Hu Yangxuan might have over exaggerated so Wang Ben’s explanation would be more down to earth.
”It was indeed an exciting match, I remembered Cisco once written a thesis about countering rigid and forceful attacks. In his thesis, he did specifically mention about countering the Fist of the Racing Tiger,” Wang Ben continued to explain slowly as he chewed and swallowed the slice of beef in his mouth.
”What an arrogant bad*ss...” Hu Yangxuan shrugged, no doubt the world was full of crazy people; however, Hu Yangxuan didn’t say that Cisco was bullsh*tting because the guy did make a great discovery, and he was about to prove his theories in a real fight. But too bad, he was knocked out badly before he could prove his theories about countering the mighty Fist of the Racing Tiger.
”I have to admit that he was quite good with his kunai; however, my Fist of the Racing Tiger shouldn’t be underestimated!”
On that moment, Wang Tong finally knew why Cisco was so interested in his version of the Fist of the Racing Tiger, too bad that dude was knocked out before he could go full force on him.
”That Einherjar Wannabe dude was awesome, I heard that Cisco was planning to take part in next year’s Royal Rumble; however, I doubt he will be able to take part in the tournament or even recover after such a terrible defeat,” Hu Yangxuan said.
”Royal what?” Wang Tong asked.
The trio turned toward Wang Tong, looking stunned. ”Good God, please don’t tell us you’re actually an alien in the form of an Earthling. It’s unusual for someone strong like you not to know about this event.”
”... Is it something I should know?” Wang Tong looked confused.
”The Royal Rumble is a quadrennial mega event, every academy will nominate five students to participate in this tournament. The aces and elites from academies of Earth, Moon, Mars, and Andromeda will be facing off against each other, and the final winner will be crowned as the Supreme Reigner!”
Ma Xiaoru explained, ”Normally it is seen as a tournament between S-Ranked academies because all they need to do is to send out the No.1’s of each grade, while the other academies are only underdogs.”
”The Supreme Reigner of the previous Royal Rumble is Li Shimin, the Little Emperor, but he wasn’t representing any academy since the tournament is also opened for unique personnel; in the end, he defeated Lie Kent in the finals and got crowned as the Supreme Reigner.”
”However, Patroclus, the strongest amongst the Four Princes didn’t participate last time. Apparently, the wonder boy is not a fan of battles and brawls, the young Cardinal of the Church of the Deity also didn’t show up.”
”With Cisco defeated, I believe his No.1 title would soon be taken by someone else due to the intense rivalry amongst students of Capth.”
