Chapter 120 - Life And Death Duel

Mr. Arthur Emerson went forward and announced Zack as the winner. When we heard him, we immediately stopped sparring and turned to face him. Barry's face began to twitch. "No, how is this possible," he exclaimed. I'm the one who's going after him. He is certainly fleeing." 

He's smearing me mercilessly. But I was aware of it. This is the only way the outcome can be. They must have noticed how easily I dodged his assaults. Senior Barry, on the other hand, is gasping for air.

Mr. Arthur Emerson gave Barry a harsh look. "Are you interrogating me?" So far, Zack has been having fun with you. On the other side, you've run out of options. Mr. Arthur remarked, "You can't even get close to him." With his aura, he presses down on Barry.

Mr. Dereck, on the other hand, has a skewed expression on his face. "All right, Arthur, that's it. He is still a warrior who has awakened. There is a great deal to learn." Mr. Dereck reminded him of something. He dispels the aura with ease. As he moved forward to get Barry up off the ground.

Mr. Arthur Emersion sneered and said, "Humph."

Ms. Adeline Key approached Zack and patted him on the shoulder. "You astounded me, Zack." It's been days. Since the last time, I saw you. "However, you didn't slack off on your training," she remarked, smiling. I merely gave her a nod. I didn't want to say anything in front of this guy, so I didn't.

Hearing Ms. Adeline's words of praise for Zack. "This will not be the last match," Mr. Dereck sniffed. From here on, he'll be up against a lot of people." Barry's scowl is still visible on his face. He's still staring at me with a venomous glare. Mr. Dereck and Barry then walked away from the dueling platform.

As both of them walk towards the exit. Mr. Dereck spoke to Mr. Arthur in hushed tones. Mr. Arthur had a serious expression on his face as a result of this. But he remained silent as he watched both of them go away. Mr. Arthur Emerson then approaches Zack on foot. Then he revealed a bitter expression on his face.

"Zack, you did an excellent job and did not disappoint either of us." Zack was well-liked by Mr. Arthur. As he directs his gaze towards Ms. Adeline. He then motions for them to accompany him to his cabin.

I sighed internally, satisfied that everything had gone smoothly. But I have a sneaking suspicion that this isn't done yet. Especially since that Dereck man mentioned more battles. In such a scenario, I'll try to extort as many resources as I can.

We arrived at his cabin quickly. Ms. Adeline sat on the left side of me. Mr. Arthur took a seat in the front row. "First, let's get this conversation started. This is the resource you've been waiting for." Mr. Arthur reached inside his storage ring and pulled out a small silver case.

I grinned internally, thinking to myself, "Finally, there is a good thing." On the small silver case, I'm looking at the delicate carvings. I'm not sure if it's merely for show or has a deeper meaning. But, in any case, it's quite lovely. As I was admiring the artwork. Mr. James reminded me that I needed to get it.

I keep it in my ring of storage. Then I turn my gaze to Mr. Arthur Emerson. "As I already stated, Zack. Your position is being considered by management. And give it to a member of their own family. However, with your victory today. "I can easily persuade them." Mr. Arthur said, his voice solemn.

Looking at his face, I'm perplexed. His facial expression contrasts with his remarks. "Is there any other issue?" I inquired. Mr. Arthur Emerson sighed as he heard that. 

"I'm sure you heard Mr. Dereck say something. He stated that there will be more difficult battles. As the representative seed in our Hansen Training Centre. You have to face a lot for the time being. The old coots, on the other hand, permitted other candidates to challenge you. If they win, they'll be appointed as a representative." Mr. Arthur Emerson patiently explained to Zack.

I was speechless when I heard that. "These folks don't think, do they?" I need to get some practice in." In my head, I cursed them. I intend to make a breakthrough. However, I'm not sure how this works.

"How many people do I have to confront and for how long?" I questioned, looking at him. There's still one year left for a Crimson Hall Event, in particular." I told them in an irritated tone.

"If you want to deter them from challenging you," Ms. Adeline Key remarked this time. "Fear must be instilled in them." Mr. Arthur Emerson and I were taken aback when we heard that. Ms. Key seems gentle, I thought. 

Observing their astonished expression. "In today's fight,"

Ms. Adeline Key giggled. You didn't do a good job of fighting him. You could have beaten him with a single move. You, on the other hand, have chosen to avoid him." I'm starting to think after hearing her statements.

"If you had defeated him correctly," she added. People will think twice about challenging you after that." "Yeah, Zack, she's right. Just go for it in the next match. Don't hold back your strength. This isn't even an elemental battle." I was persuaded by Mr. Arthur Emerson. I simply nodded in response.

They could assume I'm an Early Trainee Apprentice after this conflict. However, they are unaware of my full strength. If I go head-to-head with the enemy. I'm sure I'll be able to crush them. It's possible that I'll get exposed in the process. Details will not escape the notice of those with keen eyes.

It's something I've been thinking about. I devised a strategy quickly. "Mr. Arthur, in that case," I responded as I stared at Mr. Arthur. I'd like the regulations for the tough match to be changed." "What?" Mr. Arthur inquired, perking up his ears. He's caught off guard. He, on the other hand, is awaiting his reply.

"It'll be a life or death battle," I added after a little pause.

"What!!!" As she stood up from her seat, Ms. Adeline Key yelled. Mr. Arthur Emerson is taken aback by the situation. His ears rang with disbelief. "Did you just say something?" Incredulous, he said. Ms. Key is then motioned to take a seat by him. She settled onto the seat, her tensions soothed.. With their penetrating eyes, they both stared at me.
