Chapter 190: Surprisingly Well-Matched
Translator: Double_LEditor: Hitesh_
The Ayrlarng-Bernabeu Alliance had defeated Capth in the Battlecraft Combat category. Even though it wasn’t the final victory, it was still something worth celebrating, as no one expected that they could go this far.
Everyone was shocked that both candidates that were ranked No.1 and No.2 in Earth Confederation had lost; it was still kind of unbelievable.
While everyone in the alliance was cheering, the students of Capth could do nothing but silently watch them. They had finally realized how defeat tasted like.
”Congratulations to your team.” Flash shook Best’s hand; they finally had time to greet each other.
”Thanks, but I’m not sure if I should be happy or not. Clearly, a monster has been born in the community of Battlecraft Combat.” Best faked a smile. After all, Wang Tong was not a student of Bernabeu, and his emergence had caused the community to reshuffle its rankings.
Somehow, Flash felt the same way too, but a big part of him was filled with anticipation, because he had finally found the perfect rival. After staying at the top for that long, perhaps it was time to recharge himself through suffering a defeat.
The candidates of Capth then headed back into their resting lounge while leaving the victors to celebrate on the stage. Somehow, the sorrow of Capth and the astonishment from the students of the other academies were the best ”trophy” for the alliance.
On the other hand, Halmond sighed while faking a smile. To be honest, he was ready for anything, but didn’t expect this to happen.
”Congratulations, Principal Samantha. Our current score is 2-2, and I’m looking forward to this afternoon’s METAL Combat. Now, if you would excuse me, I’m going to check on my students.”
”Thank you, Principal Halmond, and yes please.”
The other candidates of Capth were standing outside the lounge, and as Halmond approached, Bisu pointed his finger towards the door. In fact, Bisu had no problem with defeats since he was ranked below Flash. However, Flash had never tasted defeat for quite some time already, and it felt bad, especially in matches like this that didn’t involve luck.
Halmond smiled and said, ”Let’s take a short break and go get some lunch. Let’s not forget about this afternoon’s matches as those are even more important… Flash needs space to calm down, and all of us should trust him. After all, the students of Capth are not crybabies; we are fearless fighters. So suck it up, because this is only a small obstacle in life!”
”Rest assure Principal Halmond, we’re gonna crush them this afternoon for sure!” Wally grabbed his fist and said. Obviously, he was quite mad about the previous matches.
Halmond nodded and dismissed the team huddle.
Flash was all alone in the resting lounge, wiping his face with a towel…
Not only Capth was unable to obtain the final victory before noon, they were even forced into a 2:2 draw with the Ayrlarng-Bernabeu Alliance! Most importantly, Capth’s Battlecraft Combat team which,h was also known as Earth Confederation’s strongest team, had been devastatingly defeated by the score of 1:3!
Most of Capth’s students were still unable to accept the fact they were defeated in the previous round, while the other students who didn’t go to the arena were shocked to hear about the result. Especially the news about both Bisu and Flash losing to the same guy, it was absurd indeed!
It was known to all that age had nothing to do with one’s performance in Battlecraft Combat, which explained why Flash was able to dominate in this category. Even the students from Yalden were intimidated by his level of strength. Yet, no one expected that his dominance would end right here!
Who on earth really was this Wang Tong fella?
The Ayrlarng-Bernabeu Alliance immediately became the center of attention while the team was having a lunch break at Capth’s luxurious cafeteria. Ironically, they had been branded as a ”team of weaklings” for the past four days. No one cared or paid any attention to them, and people were disrespectful to them. Yet now, the team had become the hottest topic of everyone’s gossip.
