355 Worthy
Just a moment before Kevin was about to step out of his room, he saw a blue-haired girl running at him.
“Whoa, Eva, what happened,” Kevin stopped Eva, who was breathing heavily.
“Y-You ah, heard the announcement, right?” Eva barely got her words out.
“I did, but take a moment. Did you rush from the Medical Facility in such a short time?” Kevin asked,
He was a bit worried about Eva, but suddenly Kevin heard Gazil starting to talk, and that meant his match was about to begin.
Eva took a deep breath before she let go of Kevin.
“That announcement, you have the highest chance to win it,” Eva said, looking at Kevin.
She was giving Elena company when both of them heard Farnus’s announcement.
And when she heard the second part, Eva immediately understood what Kevin needed to do.
“This is a chance,” Eva said, looking at Kevin.
“A chance for what?” Kevin asked.
He was still looking out towards the exit as Gazil was announcing his name.
“Listen, you have to do as I say…” Eva touched Kevin’s shoulders as she looked up at him.
At the Stage,
Asher walked out as he looked at the other side, which was empty. Ignoring that, Asher started climbing towards the Stage, but due to the announcement, not many people were focused on the match.
Asher looked around the Main Spectator Area, where the Seat Holders were sitting, and he saw a smile that he hadn’t seen in years.
It was Alfred Raven who was looking at him.
Turning his head, Asher stood on the Stage while he looked at the other side. And Kevin had just arrived as he started walking up the Stage.
‘Is that what he was aiming for,’ Asher could see most of the crowd was chatting among themselves.
Farnus’s shocking announcement completely stole the shine out of this match.
Farnus himself was smiling, looking at Asher, who was standing at the Stage.
At first, Farnus had no plan of involving himself with Asher, but the moment Asher talked about the ‘armor,’ this situation was bound to happen.
‘Your biggest mistake was not using the card in your hand correctly,’ Farnus thought in his head.
He could see Asher was incredibly talented and smart, but not enough.
‘If it was me, I would waited for the best moment to use it,’ Farnus thought in his head.
Arrogance, that’s what Farnus saw in Asher.
‘I wonder who is using the Heir of the Greville Family as their pawn,’ Farnus asked himself.
“This is the fight that will decide the winner of the First Year!!” Gazil spoke with excitement.
“Hey, he has the best chance, doesn’t he?” A First Year boy asked his friends.
“Maybe, but did you see the Senior Year fights? Do you think he can win against them,” His friend replied.
But there were a lot of people seeing Kevin Whiteheart as a potential candidate. Even if he lost this year, he could become one the Next Year.
Instantly, the number of people in favor of Kevin Whiteheart started increasing.
If Kevin, who was already this strong, got to be the Strongest Hunter’s Successor, wouldn’t he become even more powerful?
And for others in the VIP Section, this tournament was nothing but chaos.
“Don’t tell me, the Farnus Calmort got scared by those Zephyr or whatever bastards,” One of the people belonging to the Black Market spoke out.
“Do you think those people at SSS Rank fear anything?” The old man asked.
“Make preparations. We may need to make some changes,” The old man told them.
There was a reason why Xarax was not happy, and so were many others who had quite some power in their hands.
The balance between various powers that were already on the verge of breaking due to the growth of the Greville Family would surely either completely break or become even stronger, but nobody could predict it.
‘This might actually be good,’ The old man thought.
Kevin Whiteheart was already considered to be the best choice for a Successor for Farnus because of his talent, but that could only happen when the High Council agreed with it.
That was the condition that was given to Farnus Calmort to make sure the chosen Successor was someone who didn’t pose a threat to them.
‘I wonder why Osbert Tarvian, of all people, is siding with the Principal of World Academy,’ the Old man thought.
But internally, even he thought that this was a rather good decision to stop the growth and influence of the Greville Family.
‘Sigh, it seems we should stay out of it,’ The old man thought this was the best decision for now.
Especially when the Masked Man was still not captured, and the hidden battles that were constantly happening with other Elite Families.
“And here I thought that I would live a peaceful life when I get old,” The old man muttered, confusing his subordinates.
“Let’s begin the match that will decide the strongest First Year,” Gazil said as both Asher and Kevin took their position.
“The result is obvious,” Xarax said while looking at the Stage.
They could sense that Asher was a C Rank Hunter, but Kevin was only Peak D Rank.
But at the Stage, Asher was thinking about something else.
Rifir, who was in the presence of so many SSS Rank Hunters, viewed everyone as his enemy. If not for the perfect concealment ability Rifir possessed, it would be hard for Asher to hide his existence.
But Rifir was also influenced by Asher’s thoughts.
Even though Asher looked indifferent, being on the Stage surrounded by so many people that made him remember his previous life, it was hard to control the urge to kill everyone.
‘What is he doing?’ Asher looked at Kevin, who was taking a defensive stance.
The match was about to start, and Kevin was going with defense instead of offense.
Asher tilted his head with his emotionless eyes as he looked at the entrance where Kevin walked in from, and seeing Eva Williams standing there, Asher concluded why Kevin was fighting like this.
“Start!!” The Referee said as everyone was ready to see the clash of Rank 1 and 2.
But they were surprised as Asher was walking towards Kevin with the sword in his hand.
Kevin frowned as he saw Asher casually coming towards him, and he felt the urge to attack him.
‘No, I need to follow the plan,’ Kevin said to himself.
But the fact that it was humiliating didn’t change.
Asher’s strange choice made the attention of people come back to the match as they were confused as to why one person was walking and the other was standing on his spot.
Kevin’s grip on the Spear tightened as he felt the anger rise inside of him. If not for what Eva said to him, he would have rather charged at Asher and not felt humiliated like this.
Farnus noticed the young girl standing at the entrance, and he could guess what Kevin and Eva might have discussed.
‘But it’s not the right answer,’ Farnus thought in his head.
‘I have laid the path for you, but you have to walk on it yourself,’ Farnus thought, looking at Kevin.
Kevin’s current growth was good, but Farnus could see that Kevin was too influenced by Asher Greville.
Asher was walking, and they were only ten steps away from each other, and Kevin was still standing on his spot.
But suddenly, Asher disappeared in front of him, and Kevin frowned as he turned his body to the left, barely managing to block the black sword coming at him with his Spear.
Because of the impact, Kevin was immediately pushed near the end of the Stage.
“Is he going to lose just like this?” Some students got worried,
But then something strange happened, as Asher appeared behind Kevin, who had lost his footing.
Kevin barely saw Asher disappear for a moment, and he was already behind him, but it was hard to shift the momentum of his body.
But instead of pushing him out of the Stage, Asher sent him to the center of the Stage.
“What? Why didn’t he end the match?” Eva spoke as she was confused,
Her entire plan was to make sure the match was dragged for too long, and even if Kevin was defeated, it appeared to be a decent match.
It was a brilliant idea to make sure that Kevin Whiteheart didn’t lose much, even while losing to Asher.
But there was one flaw that Eva failed to counter for.
What if Asher didn’t let him lose easily?
All the matches that Asher had played till now ended as soon as they started, so seeing him drag this out made her realize her fault.
“Dammit,” Kevin said as he wiped the blood on the edge of his mouth.
He had used Aura at the last second to minimize the impact, but he could still feel the pain from the Kick. 𝒐𝑣𝑙xt.𝚌𝒐𝚖
“Isn’t this crazy,” Xarax laughed while other Seat Holders were silent.
“Must be happy to see a monster like this come out of your family,” Xarax said, looking at Alfred.
But Alfred just smiled at Xarax’s comment, not sharing his opinion.
