Chapter 302 - The Eve of the Great Battle
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the arena, Serena saw Mike gradually walking towards her with a grave expression on his face.
Her body subconsciously stepped back.
“No, don’t, don’t kill me!”
Serena’s voice trembled as she spoke.
Mike raised his magic sword and silently looked at the slightly skinny Serena.
Serena closed her eyes in fear.
She hid in the corner without daring to move.
From what she could see in front of her, Mike looked like a villain.
However, how could people who had never gone through Mike’s experience understand his anger towards Serena?
Mike raised the magic sword and was about to chop downwards when Serena finally said in a weak voice, “I… I surrender!”
The voice was so soft that only Mike could hear it.
The referee did not seem to want the match to end.
“I’ve sealed your breath!”
Mike said to Serena.
“Tell me, why did you make that offer to me before?”
“I just wanted to get the first place reward. I had no intention of harming you. Let me go and I’ll tell you how to defeat Rowan, okay?”
Serena said softly.
“What do you mean?”
Mike scolded her sternly.
“Are you not poisoned?”
“Poisoned?”
Mike saw that Serena was a little hesitant, so he continued to pretend that he was going to use the magic sword on her.
Serena saw the situation and quickly said, “It was a black-robed man in the Imperial City who told me!”
“Black-robed man?”
Mike was puzzled.
“Yes! It was the black-robed man! He was the one who told me that the reward for first place could greatly increase the power of my skills and could last for a long time. But I couldn’t defeat Rowan, so I could only look for you to cooperate.”
“He was also the one who gave me that bottle of black potion.”
Faced with Serena’s answer, Mike continued to question her.
“The black-robed man was in the school when you gave me the potion?”
Serena nodded.
“I finally understand what you mean!”
Looking at Serena’s sincere gaze, Mike simply put down the magic sword.
“I’ve released your breath. You can surrender now!”
Mike said calmly.
“I surrender!”
Serena said loudly.
When all the students heard Serena’s surrender speech, the entire stadium erupted into a roar.
“Mike is so strong! Doesn’t this mean a guaranteed place in finals?”
“Yeah, Mike won this match too easily! It was completely a one-sided crushing!”
“From the looks of it, Rowan isn’t a match for him either!”
At this moment, the referee also announced.
“This match has been won by Mike from the Law Faculty!”
“Mike is the first to score two points. Mike will now be entering the match point for the finals!”
Mike’s next opponent would either be Rowan or Keberg.
Mike walked out of the arena.
The next match was Rowan versus Rooney.
Rooney had no way of parrying Rowan at all.
Rowan was still the same as in the previous match and his performance was quite stable.
Just like Keberg, Rooney was completely beaten by Rowan.
In just a few minutes, the match ended.
“This match has been won by Rowan from the Close Combat Faculty!”
“Rowan is now the second player to receive the match point!”
Rowan got off the stage. At the same time, he looked at Mike and made another provocative gesture.
“Next match! Mike from Law Faculty versus Keberg from the Summoning Faculty!”
Mike responded and went on stage.
Keberg spoke directly before he even went on stage.
“I don’t want to compete anymore, I’ll just admit defeat!”
Hearing Keberg’s words, all the students looked at him strangely.
“What is Keberg trying to do? Why did he surrender twice in a row?”
“What do you know? This is called wisdom, okay? Why should he go on if he knows he can’t win?”
“This is a coward’s behavior! Don’t give him an excuse, okay?”
Hearing the unfriendly words of the students in the stands, Keberg also smiled helplessly.
Mike was still standing in the arena, waiting for the referee’s judgment.
“In that case, due to Keberg’s direct surrender, player Mike will be the first player to enter the finals today!
“Let’s give Mike a warm round of applause!”
After hearing the referee’s words, Mike calmly walked out of the arena.
The following matches were actually not important to him anymore.
However, he seriously still wanted to see what would happen next.
The next match was Rowan versus Serena.
Rowan effortlessly crushed Serena as well.
Finally, the two finalists were Rowan and Mike.
After defeating Serena, Rowan walked over to Mike’s without looking back.
“Hey, kid, I’ll make you suffer tomorrow! I hope your life will be even tougher!”
Mike ignored Rowan and looked at him coldly.
Seeing that Mike was ignoring him, Rowan tactfully walked away.
In the following matches, Serena defeated Rooney and Keberg one after another, earning third place in the freshmen trial.
“The freshmen trial officially ends for today!”
“Tomorrow the final winner will be decided!”
“There will also be many big characters appearing tomorrow!”
“Tomorrow at the same time and place! We won’t leave until we meet!”
…
The first rays of the morning sun shone on Mike’s face.
Mike gradually opened his drowsy eyes.
The day of the finals had finally arrived.
There was no sign of Allie in his room today.
“This is also rare.”
Mike said lightly.
After a simple wash, Mike went downstairs and found that Allie was half leaning against the wall, waiting for him.
The two of them walked to the trial arena, preparing to participate in the last match.
After arriving at the trial arena, he found that it had been properly arranged.
When the relevant staff saw Mike, they led him to the backstage preparation area.
Arriving at the backstage area of the trial arena, Mike found that Rowan was already there.
Rowan looked at Mike and said to him with a smile, “You’re here so late? Are you still asleep?”
Mike remained as quiet as ever in the face of Rowan’s harassing question and did not pay him any attention.
After a while, the host began to instruct Mike and Rowan to prepare to enter the arena.
“Dear guests! Dear teachers and students!
“Welcome to the finals of our Adventurer Academy’s freshmen trial!
“Today, we are also very lucky to have invited many celebrities from all walks of life from the Royal City of Romon!
“First, let us welcome the owner of Romon Restaurant…
A luxuriously dressed middle-aged man gave a speech in the arena. This person was the owner of Romon Restaurant.
After his long speech finally ended, the host continued.
“Let’s welcome the host of the Romon Auction, Miss Lansi!”
Mike, who was backstage, suddenly had a bad feeling when he heard Lansi’s name.
