Chapter 635: Team Battles


“Alexander, what were you thinking! You actually used so much power! Don’t forget what the president said before we came. He just wants you to observe Dawn’s opponents!”


On the other side, Voyna Akademiya’s vice president, a bespectacled, well-mannered man, was loudly nagging Alexander. Alexander shrugged in a nonchalant manner, saying, “I hate the feeling of losing. You all know that.”


“Why do you regard him so highly? We’ve investigated this new batch of students from Dawn Academy already, and Xiao Lin does stand out, but there’s nothing to indicate that he’s a talent holder to this day so, even if he’s not bad right now, his potential in the future…”


“Even though I don’t know how you got your information, I feel like you should fire every one of those people after my battle today!” Alexander still had a lazy look on his face. The bulky man was quite easy going outside of battle, at least when he was not drunk.


“What do you mean?”


“I don’t know how much he was holding back, but it was obvious that he had more trump cards that were still hidden than I do!” Alexander’s face turned serious.


“How is that possible!”


“How is it not? You underestimate Dawn Academy too much, but they’re still one of the founding academies in the end. I actually didn’t want to use my Man of Steel skill, but Xiao Lin forced me to do it in the end. That was already enough to shock me.”



In the office of Dawn Academy, Xiao Lin had already rested enough to recover most of his strength. After all, he did not use all of his power earlier.


The president did not disturb him, and only sat down there drinking tea while thinking. Xiao Lin recalled the earlier battle. Even though the entire battle only lasted a little over ten minutes, that brief time was even more valuable to him than continuously training or studying for a week.


After about half an hour, Xiao Lin slowly put down the cup in his hand, raising his head as he smiled. “The friendly match is still going on. Should we go take a look?”


“Are you done thinking?” the president asked.


Xiao Lin shook his head, saying, “Not so fast, but I gained a lot of experience. I’ll think about it properly when I get back.”


“That’s good. A battle with an S-rank talent holder is a very valuable experience,” the president said. “Then, let’s go look at the friendly match. I think the individual matches should be almost done.”


Xiao Lin knew that he would not be partic.i.p.ating, but he was still curious how the Russian team worked together. When they reached the venue, the individual matches had just ended. Xiao Lin saw Chen Dao using a Pyroblast spell to send his opponent flying, slamming him into the walls of the training hall.


“It looks like Chen Dao managed to win.” The president nodded, smiling. “Cheng Ming won his match as I was leaving as well, so we won both of the individual matches.”


The president allowed Xiao Lin to find a spot to spectate the match himself. He walked toward Chen Dao because Chen Dao did not seem to be in a good state. He had wounds littered on his body, so it had obviously been a bitter fight. Xiao Lin thought for a bit, it should have been around half an hour since the president left, which meant that the match had lasted for at least half an hour. This meant that Chen Dao’s victory was hard fought.


“It looks like you won’t be taking part in the group fight either.” Alexander laughed as he appeared next to Xiao Lin. After that, he placed his hand on Xiao Lin’s shoulder like they were old friends as he said casually, “This guy who uses fire spells is not bad. His talent must be the S-rank Fire G.o.d? It’s a talent at the level of my War G.o.d!”


It was as if their relationship had been greatly strengthened after their fight. Xiao Lin rolled his eyes, saying, “The one on your side isn’t bad either, being able to hold on for half an hour.”


“Oh, his talent is very durable, even if he’s only an A-rank talent holder, but… Ahem, I can’t tell you all that.” Alexander stopped his words immediately, and he noticed the other Russians were sending him a speechless look.


“Is the team event being held here as well?” Xiao Lin shifted the topic, saving himself and the others from an awkward situation.


“The team event is obviously being held in the simulation room, but we can still spectate from the outside with the observation spell array.” Alexander laughed at Xiao Lin’s cluelessness. Even though he was a guest, he was still familiar with the place. Of course, it was because Dawn Academy had provided them the locations for training the past two days, so he enthusiastically led Xiao Lin over.


The simulation room was not far away from the training hall. It was a very wide and huge hall that was closed off. Going in would reveal a very realistic forest, with the sun, rivers and trees. There was a specialized viewing area outside the simulation room, and they could look at the whole match from the large monitor in front.


After Xiao Lin sat down with Alexander, he suddenly felt like something was off because he realized that everyone around him were Russians. Not far away, the monitors who did not partic.i.p.ate also looked at him weirdly, probably wondering how Xiao Lin was suddenly so close to the students from the Russian academy.


“Hi! Your fight with Alexander is done. Let me guess, you were definitely beaten up by this drunkard, right?” The one who came over was Diana, who he got to know the last time. She was about to go into the simulation room, but turned around when she saw Xiao Lin. Her intimate tone caused many of the Russian men to shoot Xiao Lin a gaze of animosity.


“Diana, don’t you need to take part in the match? If you don’t go in now, you might have your credits deducted by the president when you get back!” Alexander said unhappily.


“Oh oh, it seems like you definitely lost very badly?” Diana raised her eyebrows at him, and did not wait for a reply before heading into the simulation room.


“I’d advise you to not provoke this woman,” Alexander reminded Xiao Lin.


“It looks like you’re pursuing her.” Xiao Lin smiled.


Alexander almost jumped up like he was bitten by a bug, exclaiming, “Don’t joke around! Who would get close to that woman?! Do you know what her talent is? It’s fine, you’ll see it for yourself later. That woman is horrifying! Truthfully, I pity the ones who are partic.i.p.ating from your academy.”


Xiao Lin paused, unable to tell how strong that woman who was full of smiles was, but he said meaningfully, “Is that why your academy did not let you partic.i.p.ate this time?”


“That’s right. Diana alone is enough!” Alexander said seriously and confidently.
