Chapter 69 - Team Battle Exhibition Match
After the battle, no school wanted to be up against Quinn.
Most importantly, they did not want to be up against Vincent.
He was too strong!
Although it was a two-on-two battle, in reality, it was just Vincent alone fighting two people.
Although Nabil was very strong, he was considered trash when fighting alongside Vincent.
Plus, this was not even Quinn"s strongest lineup. Imagine if Vincent and Chris battled alongside each other, what would the outcome be?
"The two-on-two champions.h.i.+p battle! Quinn School versus St. John School. Please enter the arena!" announced the host loudly.
However, before he could even finish his sentence, St. John admitted defeat.
Vincent and Chris had not paired up so far. Everyone knew that they would fight together for this particular battle.
Vincent won a two-on-one fight. Chris on the other hand was not much weaker than Vincent.
Vincent"s World of h.e.l.lfire debut the day before had really increased the pressure for all students.
Although everyone knew that Vincent was not allowed to use World of h.e.l.lfire, no one could forget Vincent"s other combat skills. They were still quite strong. His strength made people"s scalps go numb.
St. John"s decision to surrender officially ended the two-on-two battle.
This was the halfway mark of the special enrolment compet.i.tion.
The next day, the compet.i.tion continued.
Vincent and the others went to Quinn"s resting area and waited for the host to announce the start of the compet.i.tion. At the same time, Vincent also realized that the seating area for the echelons was empty.
Vincent was very curious, but he did not give it much thought. Their presence did not impact him anyway.
"Contestants and audience. His Majesty the Emperor has taken into account that all contestants have fought continuously for three days straight and the battles were all high-intensity ones. The partic.i.p.ants must be tired. He has consented for the partic.i.p.ants to take two days off to rest!"
The host held the microphone in his hand and announced, "There is no compet.i.tion today. There is only one team battle exhibition match. Later, we will draw lots to decide who will partic.i.p.ate in the exhibition match!"
After hearing the host"s announcements, all the partic.i.p.ants felt at ease.
This was the most relaxing day for all of them so far.
There were no compet.i.tions. Even if they were selected to partic.i.p.ate in the exhibition match, it will not be a serious one.
Given the circ.u.mstances, everyone rushed over to Quinn"s resting area to meet Vincent.
"Vincent and everyone! Are you used to being in Jungle Capital?" asked Louis from St. John. He had a smile on his face.
Everyone from Quinn had a good impression of Louis, especially Chris. This was because Louis had helped them to ask the President to delay the compet.i.tion when Vincent was injured. They treated Louis like one of their own. Their arms were placed around each other"s shoulders.
"Not bad. The Jungle Capital is surrounded by mountains. The environment is very beautiful," said Vincent.
Vincent smiled and shook Louis"s hand.
"Louis, when are we going to fight?"
Chris placed his hand on Louis"s shoulder. His face was full of desire to fight.
Louis smiled slightly. He might not have known Chris before, but after three days, he could tell what kind of person he was.
This guy was a typical battle maniac. Louis did not want to fight when he had nothing to do.
In his opinion, the most important thing was to live life in the present.
"Let"s wait for an opportunity. After these three days of non-stop fighting, I"m exhausted."
Louis tactfully rejected Chris.
"Chris, don"t make a scene. Now is not the time to fight," said Vincent.
Vincent rubbed his forehead helplessly. He really had no idea how to deal with Chris.
"Oh right, Vincent, do you have anything to do tomorrow or the day after?" asked Louis.
Louis looked at Vincent with antic.i.p.ation.
Vincent had no idea what Louis was about to ask him. However, he really had nothing to do over the next two days.
"Well, it"s like this. I plan to ask everyone to go to the black hole tomorrow or the day after. Last night, there was a Monster Horde there, and I wanted to see if I could help."
Louis suddenly became sad.
This was because when there was a Monster Horde, there would definitely be casualties. Every death and injury was worth being sad about.
"Alright, alright! Since we don"t have anything to do, it"s also good for us to go to the black hole to take a look!"
Chris quickly agreed before Vincent could even say anything.
The last time in Blazing City, Chris went to the black hole. However, it was not very satisfying for him. As Louis had invited them to another black hole, he was naturally very enthusiastic.
Nabil tugged at Chris and shook his head slightly. Nabil was hinting to him that he should not simply agree to things like that.
Vincent shot a dissatisfied glance at Chris. He did not want to partic.i.p.ate.
Danger lurked everywhere in the black hole. Anyone could die at any time.
As Teacher Chris was not around and he was the team captain, he had to consider everyone"s safety.
However, Chris had already promised Louis. If Vincent were to refuse Louis"s offer, it would not look too good.
Plus, people would think that the students from Quinn were cowards.
Quinn treated him very well. As the matter would impact the school"s honor, he could not disregard it.
Although Chris was a battle maniac, he was not stupid. After Vincent gave him a displeased look, he immediately knew that he had acted rashly.
He became awkward and shut his mouth.
Louis saw what was going on, but he did not say anything.
To him, it did not matter if they wanted to partic.i.p.ate a not. He just wanted to go help the individuals in the black hole.
"What time tomorrow?" asked Vincent.
"If you guys decide to partic.i.p.ate, I"ll come and pick you up."
"Alright, we"ll let you know."
The two of them exchanged contact information.
At that moment, the students from Mokissner came by. Their leader was Pujstark. Brandy followed him closely behind.
"Louis? You guys are here too! What a coincidence!"
Pujstark smiled widely.
Although they were all compet.i.tors and had a compet.i.tive relations.h.i.+p, they were good friends with each other.
Louis told Pujstark that they were going to the black hole. Pujstark agreed to go without any hesitation.
Vincent, Louis, and Pujstark. They were the three most powerful people in the younger generation. They all chatted happily. This was the start of a new friends.h.i.+p.
"Oh right! Vincent, I forgot to introduce you!" said Pujstark whilst smiling mysteriously.
Vincent looked at Pujstark"s mysterious smile. He had a sharp feeling that something important was about to happen.
"Brandy!"
Brandy heard Pujstark call out to him and walked over in a daze.
"The two of you have already fought twice. You guys can be said to be familiar with one another."
Vincent and Brandy both looked at Pujstark with a puzzled expression.
Was that not obvious? Although they did not know each other very well, they have met before on the battlefield.
Why did Pujstark introduce the both of them to each other again?
Plus, Vincent had an uncomfortable feeling towards Brandy. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was hostile towards him.
Pujstark looked at the two of them and chuckled.
"But there"s one thing you guys don"t know yet..."
"After the special enrollment compet.i.tion ends, Brandy will be transferring to Quinn to study and become Princ.i.p.al Sibis"s disciple!"
Pujstark raised his hand and patted Vincent on the shoulder.
"In other words, Brandy is going to become your junior!"
"Huh?"
Vincent was stunned and looked at Brandy in confusion.
Brandy was also confused. When did he become a student of Quinn and the disciple of Princ.i.p.al Sibis?
Pujstark looked at the two of them and laughed happily.
"The drawing of lots has ended! The team battle exhibition match is about to begin! St. John School vs Quinn School!" announced the host.
Louis smiled bitterly after hearing the announcement.
"Vincent, after all this time, I still want to fight you guys."
Vincent shrugged. "Sooner or later, we"ll have to fight."
