Chapter 126: Devout Believer
Chapter 126: Devout Believer
Practice Range
First thing in the morning, the competition ground was packed with people, this was Prince Caesars finals, how could they miss it?
Of course, not everyone came to watch Caesar. Although Lin Xiao wasnt that popular himself, but he was the man who defeated Sam and Shen DaiYing! He carried the hopes of countless people.
Although Caesar was powerful, but he couldnt get all the limelight, right? Someone had to put him in his place!
Everyone was full of anticipation of what the dark horse, Lin Xiao could bring, and beat that arrogant prince to the ground!
But could Lin Xiao really do it?
Before the match, Woos and Momm were secretly predicting the results.
Hmph, Caesar will win for sure! Momm didnt mince his words, and said whatever he was thinking, Not saying anything else, but Caesar is a magic swordsman! Ive seen his techniques that combine magic with fighting aura, even if Lin Xiao knows chantless instant cast, he wont be able to deal with it!
Cough, wont be able to deal with it, huh. Woos coughed and didnt say much.
Dont forget, the principal gave Caesar a powerful sword a while ago, the Dragon Slayer! Ahya, that sword is amazing, its unbelievably light, yet cuts metal like butter. Momms saliva was flying, it seems like he really likes that sword, and today, hell finally have the chance to witness its full power!
Cough, Dragon Slayer, huh.
Hey, you speak up too! Who do you think will win? Dont tell me you actually think that brat will win, right? Stop joking!
Will Lin Xiao win? It might be hard.
Then will Caesar win? Woos also couldnt say for sure.
If it was just a few days ago, Woos definitely would have agreed with Momm and firmly believe that Caesar would win, but now he couldnt trust his own judgements.
In the match against Shen DaiYing, Lin Xiao demonstrated the chantless instant cast technique, but Woos knew that wasnt all of his power!
The main reason was because of the smoke. That day, he purposely created smoke and then defeated Shen DaiYing within that smoke.
No one knew what he used to defeat Shen DaiYing.
Perhaps that finishing move will be the decider in todays match.
As the two were discussing, the match was about to start soon, the judges were still Woos and Momm.
Finally, a handsome blond youth slowly walked onto the stage holding Dragon Slayer, waves of enthusiastic cheering began along with his appearance.
The reputation of being the pillar of the magic department wasnt groundless, perhaps even Caesar himself didnt know it but the number of fans he had in Loran Academy was almost as large as his fathers harem.
But he didnt get rattled by those cheers, he focused his concentration. Other than the match, and the sword in his hand, he didnt think about anything else.
He had to win this match!
Lin Xiao, I know that youre very strong, but I still have the same thing to stay only the strongest has the right to become the hero. For my dreams, I must defeat you here! Caesar lowered his head and quietly muttered to himself.
He already adjusted his mindset to the optimal state, and was ready to start at anytime.
But on the other hand, his opponent still hasnt arrived yet.
There was only five minutes left until the start of the match, Lin Xiao should have already checked i with the judges beforehand and getting prepared to go on stage, but he was no where to be seen, what was going on?
Did he not come because he was scared? Impossible, Caesar knew that Lin Xiao was no coward!
Teacher Momm, whats going on? Why isnt Lin Xiao here yet? Caesar impatiently asked.
Uh just a moment, l-let me go ask. Momm was also at a loss.
How could he foresee that Lin Xiao would be late to such an important competition?
The finals werent like the other matches, he couldnt forfeit as he pleases. If Lin Xiao didnt have a valid reason, he would be disqualified from being the runner up, then all his previous efforts would have gone down the drain.
Even if he wanted to forfeit, he would have to come on stage to do it.
He quickly ran down the stage and inquired about what was going on. But Woos also didnt know where Lin Xiao was, this baffled them.
Beneath the stage, Momm was anxiously scratching his hair well his bald head, Woos was also just as anxious, as well as Caesar who was almost losing his patience.
He finally adjusted his mental state and now it was about to collapse was Lin Xiao coming late on purpose, and trying to disturb him?
Thinking of that, Caesar suddenly became more vigilant, that definitely sounds like a plan Lin Xiao would come up with! That bastard, was he already starting with psychological warfare before the match began?
But this time, Caesar was overthinking it, Lin Xiao had no such plans.
As everyone was becoming more anxious, a beautiful girl ran out from the crowd, a slim figure with a pink ponytail.
Teacher Woos, teacher Woos!
Rosie? As she got close, Woos could see that it was the eldest daughter of the Childe family.
Teacher! I, I She ran up to Woos while panting, and couldnt even speak clearly.
Wooss heart sank.
Something must have happened for Rosie to be running for dear life, did something bad happen to Lin Xiao?
T-teacher Lin Xiao asked me to hand this note to you. Rosie gasped for breath and said, He said that this note was extremely important that damn bastard, how dare he order me around, if he wasnt my ally, I wouldnt have agreed.
Note? What note?
Woos quickly took the note from her hand and unfurled it to take a look.
A crooked line of word were scrawled over the slip of paper.
Sorry teacher Woos, today a beautiful kindhearted Saint is coming to Winterless City, I have to attend her inauguration ceremony, so I can only forfeit. May the Goddess of Lights blessing be with you! A devout believer, yours sincerely Lin Xiao
Ah ah I-I cant.
After reading the slip of paper, Woos almost fainted. If it wasnt for Rosie catching him, he probably would have already fell onto the ground and passed out.
T-that damn bastard, he actually dares to forfeit when did he start believing in the Goddess of Light?
Forget about forfeiting, what made Woos angry was that he actually forfeited because he wanted to see the Saint, and pretended he was a believer to trick the judges, did he not have a sense of shame?
If he was a believer, the Goddess would probably be furious!
Teacher Woos, so youre saying Lin Xiao forfeited? Rosie feebly asked.
Yes.
Then Caesar is the winner?
Yes.
Hehe, awesome! At least I didnt come all this way for nothing, I didnt think he would actually forfeit, at least he still has some sense! Learning that Caesar won, Rosie happily started hopping.
As expected of her ally, not only did he defeat Shen DaiYing, he also tactfully let Caesar win, she found the right person!
Sigh
Was a highly anticipated match going to end just like that? What a joke!
However does Lin Xiao know the new Saint?
