Chapter 95: Feels somewhat familiar
Yuehai frowned slightly while observing from the VIP seat. He had seen this girl in the bathroom before, but he remembered her name as Lajess T. Jallinia. Could it be an alias? This made her feel a vague sense of unease, but she couldn’t explain it.
Although the incident with the girl vanished with her departure, another problem arose: how to score for Claude, the victor. After all, the outcome was decided without a single word exchanged between the two. Claude, who had been standing on the sidelines the whole time, presented a new issue for the judges.
“How about this?” Simira waved her hand slightly, drawing everyone’s gaze towards her. A faint smile appeared on her aged face.
“After all, Miss Rachel has already withdrawn with her warrior. So, even if Mr. Claude is given the chance to select a new opponent, it won’t lead to an uneven number in the battle. Therefore, choosing a new opponent should be the best solution.”
“But the opponent has already conceded, and luck is also part of strength. It might not be appropriate to let Claude fight again,” Nicholas said softly. Simira nodded slightly; indeed, it was true. For an ordinary person, hearing about another fight might be very unwelcome, leading to a lack of concentration and potentially affecting the competition. However, it was Claude who spoke up at this moment.
“It’s okay, please go ahead and choose another opponent.”
This statement stunned the judges, who then nodded to themselves. Indeed, he was the son of that person; he still possessed such magnanimity.
The audience below also expressed satisfaction with Claude’s response. After all, who wouldn’t want to see another bout? Moreover, many knew Claude as the proclaimed genius of the neighboring country, and surely many were eager to witness his fighting style.
The next opponent selected was a girl with the strength of a Level Three Mage. Her unique awakened magic, “Tishield,” possessed the ability to hinder certain physical and magical attacks. However, Claude’s “Luminous Sword Style” was simply too powerful. Yuehai predicted that compared to Mo Qingting’s martial arts, Claude’s techniques were far more profound and powerful. Unfortunately, the magic girl was completely overwhelmed and defenseless against Claude’s flawless swordsmanship. Claude ultimately defeated her with perfect sword skills.
The judges greatly appreciated this, as until now, no warrior had managed to defeat a Level Three Mage so effortlessly. To give an analogy, it would be like having a high-level “Harmony” practitioner face off against a “Broken Army” warrior with powerful martial skills. There would inherently be a huge gap between the two, with the only advantage lying in the experience of combat and the intuition forged through countless battles.
With a maximum score of 75, Claude received an impressive 71 points, stunning the entire audience. The judges’ explanation was that his effort was directly proportional to his talent, and even exceeded it by much. Such a genius shouldn’t be insulted with a score lower than 8. These words were spoken by Rafinas.
As a result, Yuehai and Claude firmly held the top position on the leaderboard with their total scores, with the second-place contender trailing by a significant margin of over ten points.
“Such hard-to-reach scores,” Tyr muttered to himself from the sidelines, glancing at the sprite beside him. He thought, as long as he could pass, that would be enough; there was no need for so many demands.
As he sighed inwardly, the voice of the male emcee, Charles, came from the stage.
“Alright! Will the warrior with number 98993 please step onto the stage!”
“Finally, is it my turn?” Tyr glanced at his own number tag, nodded slightly to his worried sprite, and hurried onto the stage without waiting for any words of encouragement from Arena.
“On the other side, will the mage with number 8766 please step onto the stage!”
As a busty blonde girl with golden curls stepped onto the stage, Tyr immediately remembered her. Wasn’t she the girl who was about to slap Miss Mo Qingting earlier and had a large chest? What was her name again? Did she introduce herself earlier?
However, the real reason Tyr remembered her was because of her particularly large chest; otherwise, he might have forgotten her as soon as she turned around.
However, due to the earlier incident, the girl’s mood seemed quite poor now, her face slightly reddened. It was probably not due to shyness but rather anger.
The male emcee, Charles, naturally noticed this, but it wasn’t something he needed to concern himself with. Once the two had almost reached the stage, he spoke again.
“This magic girl is from the Kingdom of Milik, named Jinlisi Bimor. And on the other side, wearing a black mask, is the warrior who calls himself ‘123’ from the local Cyril Duchy!”
“123?” Jinlisi frowned, puzzled by such a strange name.
Some of the audience couldn’t help but chuckle. “Calling oneself 123? What’s the meaning behind that?” Only a few remembered that a bounty near the outskirts of the Kingdom of Milik had been claimed by a mercenary named 123.
“Hehehe.” The Dragon Slayer outside couldn’t help but laugh. What a stupid name, she had thought so since the first time she saw the other person.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Tyr adjusted his black mask slightly, feeling somewhat regretful for naming himself 123. He couldn’t help but think that the male emcee had a knack for highlighting the most trivial details. Self-proclaimed 123… What a silly self-designation.
However, in the VIP viewing area, Claude raised an eyebrow slightly and said to Yuehai beside him,
“Miss Yuehai, don’t you think this person’s figure looks familiar?”
