Chapter 870: What to Do When You Accidentally Become the Target of Everyone’s Wrath 4k
Of course, Tudor was not afraid of losing.
Even if he were afraid, it was impossible for him to admit it.
So when Dark used just a little provocation, Tudor immediately regained his spirit and prepared to have a good discussion with that “Saint Son.”
Of course, he wasn’t the type to rush in blindly.
Before any discussion, there had to be an investigation.
And given the current nature of the “Saint Son,” the probability of them rejecting a challenge was quite low.
In that case, they could even engage in a relay battle…
No, it wasn’t a relay battle; this was called a “collective exchange.”
For the students here, having such an “exchange” opportunity was very rare.
If they weren’t afraid of failure, they could certainly learn a lot from the “Saint Son.”
In short, they always had to find a way to restrain Evan Pearson’s movements so he couldn’t act freely.
As for the “Saint Maiden”…
There would naturally be others to take care of her.
After dealing with Tudor and the others, Dark finally managed to free himself and successfully return to the dormitory.
Next, they naturally had to focus their attention on today’s main event of the “Golden Cup.”
…
After noon.
The students of Saint Maryann Academy, whose attention had been drawn away by the exchange students from the Secret Rite Academy of the Saints, seemed to finally remember that today was the opening day of the “Golden Cup” main event.
Talks about the “Golden Cup” gradually took over, and the students began discussing the “Golden Cup” again.
The atmosphere for watching in the afternoon also gradually heated up.
Anyone who could spare time was already preparing to head to the Outdoor Duel Arena.
By half past one, people began to trickle into the Outdoor Duel Arena.
At the same time, Saint Maryann’s dueling branches around the world started opening up, and the ticket-holding spectators rushed in, all looking quite excited.
Today’s Golden Cup main event, followed by the Easter Duel Festival in two days, made this weekend a feast for duel enthusiasts.
Alvaraite and Claire, who had been busy, took some time off to visit the dueling branch in the capital city again after a long time.
But today, besides the two of them, only Olivia came along as a servant and guard.
Even these two didn’t plan on staying long.
Once they watched the opening ceremony, if Dark’s match was scheduled much later, they might need to leave and come back later.
But once they entered the dueling branch, their conversation was unrelated to the duel.
“It’s said that Caleb Norris arrived at Saint Maryann Academy early this morning.”
Claire sat in the front row and reported the information Eve had passed on to Alvaraite.
A barrier surrounded the three of them, blocking both sound and appearance.
Olivia, as both maid and guard, remained vigilant.
The situation in the capital city left no room for any negligence.
Although it hadn’t reached the point where everyone was on edge, there were hints of unease.
The Duke’s Mansion stood at the forefront, and even to avoid suspicion, they had to be cautious.
“In other words, Caleb Norris will be absent from the capital for a whole month.”
Alvaraite got straight to the point.
Claire said, “It seems the Church is also consolidating its power and doesn’t want to have a direct conflict with that person in the capital.”
Alvaraite replied, “Their focus has probably shifted beyond the capital.”
Claire added, “This timing indeed makes it impossible to keep the view limited within the kingdom. I wonder what Chris can bring back.”
Alvaraite said, “I hope it’s good news.”
Her tone carried a hint of worry.
…
Compared to the Duke’s Mansion’s busy schedule, Prince Charles seemed to suddenly have free time, at least on the surface.
Therefore, that afternoon, he also came to Saint Maryann Academy’s branch in the capital, mainly to pass the time.
In the current capital, Prince Charles was perhaps the most relaxed among the important figures.
However, no one knew what he truly thought inside.
…
Inside Saint Maryann Academy.
Audrey Jeane, who had entered the library at noon, showed no intention of leaving the sea of books.
Evan Pearson, however, had already left the library with Tommy Smith before one-thirty.
His mood was far from the exhilaration he felt after defeating the “Hero’s Child.” Instead, it was quite恶劣 (bad).
But he maintained a cold demeanor on the surface, and only Tommy Smith, who knew him well, could detect his emotional changes.
This change began the moment he learned that the guide assigned to them was actually a contestant in the “Golden Cup” main event!
Recalling their conversation with the “guide,” it felt somewhat ironic.
Evan Pearson had even boasted in front of them about defeating the guide.
Even Tommy Smith felt embarrassed for him.
When Dark mentioned preparing for the “Golden Cup” main event under questioning, Tommy Smith instinctively felt Evan Pearson was about to tear up the floor with his toes.
Of course, Tommy Smith himself felt extremely恶劣 (bad) as well.
He subconsciously believed Dark was treating them like clowns, and his malicious feelings surged.
But after being provoked, he realized that thinking so would mean admitting that he and the “Saint Son” were clowns.
Thus, he immediately discarded that thought.
Yet, the feeling of being treated like a clown persisted.
Tommy Smith harbored malice.
…
If the guardian knights felt this way, the “Saint Son” must feel even deeper.
But Evan Pearson had a special protection that automatically activated when his emotional fluctuations exceeded a certain threshold, forcing him to calm down.
Therefore, he did not develop excessive malice due to his bad mood.
—This special protection was undoubtedly what Dark coveted, though Dark was unaware of it at the moment.
Entering the Outdoor Duel Arena under everyone’s watch, Evan Pearson wanted to clearly see how powerful the “guide,” a fellow second-year student, was.
Of course, he would prefer to see the “guide” being beaten up by the seniors!
“Excuse me, are you the Saint Son?”
When Evan Pearson was about to find a suitable seat in the circular seating area, an unknown senior from the Noble History Research Club approached him.
Since the senior spoke earnestly and respectfully, Evan Pearson agreed to his invitation and went to the area reserved by the club beforehand.
Then, the president of the Noble History Research Club, Edwin Clarissa, personally greeted him.
Regardless of his stance, showing favor to the “Saint Son,” the only one chosen by the Church in the past decade, was a beneficial move.
Of course, Edwin considered it troublesome not to show favor rather than to show it.
Evan Pearson’s identity was special, and if proper etiquette was not observed, it could lead to future misunderstandings.
After introducing themselves, they both sat in the front row.
Edwin appeared very friendly, but Evan Pearson showed no joy, only responding勉强 (barely).
After initial contact, Evan Pearson seemed to suddenly realize that Edwin, as the president of the Noble History Research Club, should know a lot about the Noble Academy. So he asked a question.
This question hit the mark!
Without going into details, Edwin Clarissa was now an expert on Dark Demon, with knowledge surpassing most students in the academy.
However, Edwin Clarissa was shrewd and wouldn’t reveal everything.
But even from the partial information he shared, Evan Pearson gradually formed a picture of a super scholar in his mind.
His expression grew colder.
But his emotions weren’t at a critical point yet.
After all, regardless of how powerful Dark Demon was in reality, they still didn’t have a direct competitive relationship.
Though he was arrogant, he didn’t believe he was the “world’s best.”
After all, there were too many legends in this world.
For example, Audrey Jeane, whom he saw every day, was no less impressive than him.
Evan Pearson was still contemplating.
…
As more teachers and students continued to enter, the Outdoor Duel Arena gradually filled with splendid music.
Around one forty-five, Dark walked into the golden-yellow painted Outdoor Duel Arena.
Midday sunlight illuminated the arena, casting dazzling light.
In the center of the arena, a large duel platform slowly rose, with high-grade podiums floating around it.
One could see musicians distributed on the floating platforms, playing instruments or blowing wind instruments, circling around the stage used as a host’s podium.
Suddenly, a student riding a flying beast entered the arena, performing magnificent aerial maneuvers.
The spectators, who had come with anticipation, quickly became engrossed in the riders’ skills, and the previously boisterous noise gradually quieted down.
Students from various grades entered the arena in groups, finding seats in the circular seating area.
Second-year students from the Noble Academy searched for Evan Pearson, and upon discovering that he had been invited by senior students first, they reluctantly gave up and turned their full support to Dark Demon, ready to cheer him on.
Dark, as a second-year student, shining in a senior competition, brought pride to his classmates in the same academy.
In a small corner, Diana and Rose sandwiched Eralganie between them, sharing snacks.
The tiny night bird sat on Eralganie’s lap, with a round head holding a book.
Eralganie was Saint Maryann Academy’s biggest secret.
But with her powers revealed, she was not easily discovered.
Professors only required her to avoid being near Archbishop Caleb Norris and the exchange students.
Meanwhile,
second-year students from the Knight Academy gathered at the Dragon Training Grounds to see off Wit Gold and Justin Wayne.
Wit actually wanted to watch the opening ceremony of the “Golden Cup” before leaving.
But he wasn’t the one who made the plans.
On the other hand, a few classmates from Betty’s side came to see them off, though not as grandly as Wit and Justin, making it seem like a farewell celebration, almost as if they were singing a song about a warrior going to war.
Finally, the exchange students and friends hugged and said goodbye, then boarded flying dragons led by their professors and flew into the sky.
Students in the Outdoor Duel Arena suddenly looked up and saw three flying dragons soar into the sky.
Dark looked up as the dragon’s shadow disappeared behind the barrier, waved his hand, and then turned to enter the competitors’ passage.
Two paths, each leading their own way.
…
In the current round of the “Golden Cup,” the top sixteen contestants gradually gathered in the same competitors’ lounge before two o’clock.
When Dark entered with the staff, half of the contestants were already drinking tea inside.
He glanced around and spotted the “Fairy Princess” Eluria Clarissa, who winked at him and beckoned him over.
Dark walked over and smiled, “Senior Clarissa, so early?”
Eluria Clarissa smiled, “Arriving early allows us to stay longer. Otherwise, after working hard to get into the main event, we might be eliminated in the first round, which would be quite sad.”
Dark chuckled, “Then we can only pray not to be targeted by someone.”
Eluria Clarissa nodded towards the door and said, “Look, someone’s coming.”
Dark immediately stopped smiling and sat up straight.
The person entered through the door and walked directly to Dark’s side, sitting down naturally.
“What are you talking about? You look so happy,” Pandora Dragon said softly.
Dark replied seriously, “We were discussing simply delivering the championship trophy to your dorm.”
Pandora glanced at him and said, “I’m a bit thirsty.”
“Sure.” Dark skillfully poured tea and handed her the water, “Please, Senior.”
Pandora picked up the cup and took a sip, satisfied, “Very obedient. Considering how well-behaved you are, I’ll definitely choose you when my turn comes.”
Dark’s face darkened, “I’m thirsty too.”
Pandora handed him the cup, “Here.”
Dark took a sip, finding it sweet.
Eluria Clarissa couldn’t help but move away, feeling a bit annoyed.
The upperclassmen who had long followed “Silver Dragon Maiden” couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
The relationship between Pandora Dragon and her younger junior, three years her junior, was unexpectedly exposed to everyone.
Rumors that had been circulating suddenly became confirmed.
A few people changed their gaze toward Dark.
The competitors’ lounge finally had a bit of the tension before a duel.
