Chapter 178: Despised

Translator: Double_LEditor: Hitesh_

Capth was founded by General Li Feng hundreds of years ago. After going through countless of ups and downs across centuries, Capth was able to develop into a well-known S-Ranked academy. It was indeed a splendid academy that had gone through tons of hardships.

Throughout generations, students of Capth had been contributing a lot to the development of human communities.

Although the front gate of Capth looked normal, it was indeed filled with pride. Especially the unique statue on its gate, it was the sculpture of young General Li Feng gazing across the universe. For centuries, no one had ever surpassed the achievements of this legendary figure. But as time went by, the legendary hero ended up being nothing more than a stone-cold statue, and younger generations only saw him as an unreachable existence. They were not as passionate as the older generations anymore!

This was the first time Wang Tong and the rest of the team stepped foot into Capth. They had never dreamt about walking on the campus of this academy, yet Samantha had provided them a chance to prove themselves in the upcoming tournament.

No one had ever imagined that a bunch of nobodies from Ayrlarng would be able to stand right next to the elites of Capth.

Everyone was agitated as they looked at the statue. This was indeed a historical moment to be remembered, and they were definitely filled with excitement for being able to visit the best academy throughout Earth Confederation.

The academy itself was filled with the latest and best hardware and facilities. After all, Capth was crowned as the society leader amongst S-Ranked academies. They were the ultimate existence in every aspect.

Originally, both Samantha and Martyrus were supposed to lead the team. But in the end, Martyrus decided to stay and wait for news in his own academy. Somehow, he knew that this stage didn’t belong to him. In fact, it belonged to Samantha as well as the fellow students.

Nevertheless, Samantha felt strange on returning to the academy she graduated from.

They weren’t treated as special guests. Apparently, there were also four other academies joining this tournament. These four academies only had one thing in mind, which was to crush and defeat Capth at all cost!

”Haha, this year’s Bernabeu was hilarious!”

”I can’t believe they’re teaming up with Ayrlarng, pfft!”

The team was soon joined by a group of students wearing olive green uniforms. They all had an L-shaped badge above their academy’s emblem.

Those students were from the Academy of Crusx, an A-Ranked academy equally matched with Bernabeu. Obviously, rivalry amongst A-Ranked academies was normal, as they were all fighting to become S-Ranked academies. As a matter of fact, all of the five academies invited to Capth were almost the same in terms of strength, and each team was very proud and happy to be here.

Nevertheless, some liked to prove their strength and bravery by taking on stronger opponents, while some others preferred bullying the weaker ones to show off their dominance.

In the eyes of other academies, Bernabeu had definitely become weaker this time. Either Apache and Best had become worse, or the rest of the teammates were a bunch of fools, or else, they could’ve never been defeated by Ayrlarng.

However, Ayrlarng had Ma Xiaoru this time, and people couldn’t help but wonder why a brilliant girl like her would choose to go to Ayrlarng. In fact, they were quite upset about the waste of her talent. Clearly, she was one of the aces in the team, but still, the girl alone was not enough to shape the final outcome. After all, Bernabeu’s candidates were too weak this time.

”Did any of you hear dogs barking just now?” Carl asked aloud all of a sudden. Everyone could hear his loud voice clearly.

Immediately, the eyes of the students of Cruxs turned red; it became an awkward situation at the reception counter.

”You guys want a piece of me, huh?” Apache taunted coldly. He was not afraid to take on anyone that was trying to mess with him. After all, he had been hanging around in the Anti-smuggle Special Unit for a year.

”Calm down, you folks.” The teacher of Capth interrupted immediately. It would definitely escalate into a fight if the teacher didn’t stop them quickly, and Capth’s reputation would be affected if things like that happened on their campus.

Both parties glared at each other, and the other students didn’t make a move since he recognized Apache and was well aware of his capabilities. In the end, everyone backed down.

Somehow, Wang Tong looked a bit disappointed. He was actually hoping for a ”warm-up” brawl.

Everyone completed their registration under the awkward atmosphere and left the counter.

Meanwhile, all of the principals were having a brief meeting about the upcoming schedules in the meeting room.

Since the other A-Ranked academies were here to challenge Capth, they would need to draw lots in order to decide the order of fighting. Obviously, the later would be the better, as there would be enough time to observe the strength of Capth’s candidates.
