Chapter 73: A Coincidence For The Transfer Student (3)
* * *A brazen, yet bold declaration.All those who heard it had reactions that varied greatly.Some burst out in laughter, some took a step back in fright, while others raised their cameras in admiration.And the most common reaction… was anticipation.Not only among the first-year students, who boasted the largest number of attendees, but also among the staff and external lecturers who had come to watch.As if they had planned it in advance, everyone turned their gaze to the transfer student with his sword drawn out and the people who were insulting him at the same time.- Wow, are they really going to fight?- No way, really?- The one who loses is going to be completely humiliated.Those who knew of the political conflict between Director Nikolay and the Admissions Director looked all serious, but the students were simply bubbling with excitement as they looked forward to the fight.Superhuman versus Superhuman. And on top of that, one of them was the protagonist of those ridiculous rumors, wasn’t he?- Hey! Hurry and find a spot.- Tall guys, stand in the back! I can’t see!- Damn it, I left my phone behind.The students began to move, each trying to find the perfect spot to watch the fight.As they pushed each other and climbed over railings, the crowd reached all the way to the airport runway.Even the airport security staff, who should have stepped in, were too distracted by the fight, allowing a natural barrier to form around the transfer student and those who had insulted him.A wall of students.Trapped within the human barrier without warning, the expressions of the instigators hardened.“What are you waiting for? Is there no one willing to step forward and prove themselves?”Riding on that momentum, the transfer student began to taunt the instigators.However, there was no response. The dozens of instigators who had just been hurling insults moments ago fell silent at once.They were either hesitating, looking for a chance to escape, or simply keeping their mouths shut as they glared at the transfer student.- This is weird.- What the hell. Are they not going to fight?- More importantly, does anyone know who those people are?Just as the students were starting to feel disappointed upon seeing the instigators retreatStep.The transfer student made his move.The more perceptive students narrowed their eyes as they watched his steps with complete attention.The way the mana rippled with each step he took suggested that he had undoubtedly mastered a unique martial art.One step, two steps.As the transfer student drew closer, the instigators gradually retreated. And were even some who appeared to be Superhumans among them.And just when the distance between the instigators and the transfer student had narrowed down to approximately ten paces…“Stop! We were merely raising a legitimate concern!”One of the instigators suddenly yelled.A few spectators recognized him as an employee associated with the board of directors. Additionally, they also knew that he was a part of Tcherny’s faction.“I can’t believe my eyes! Not only has he drawn his sword against a crowd of unarmed people, but he also dares to threaten us so openly! How can someone like him be admitted to Lord Howe?”He shouted, conscious of the attention focused on him.“Everyone! Do you see this? This is why the founder never established a transfer system! It’s to prevent unvetted individuals like him from tarnishing the reputation of the Academy!”“…”Instead of replying, the transfer student stopped and tilted his head, as if daring them to continue.The instigator who met his calm, golden eyes swallowed hard before yelling with even more passion.“Everyone! Take a good look at the person the Admissions Director has brought in after ignoring tradition, using some ridiculous transfer examination bullshit!”“…Hmm.”“A lowly mercenary who draws their sword without hesitation! Is it even acceptable for a person like this to become an academy student?”As soon as his passionate speech came to an end, the students shifted their gazes to the transfer student.Regardless of his achievements in Manchuria or the rumors surrounding him… it was true that he was admitted without going through the proper procedures.Of course, the students weren’t thinking that far when they looked at the transfer student. A political matter like this was best left for the staff to bicker over.The students were simply curious to see how the transfer student would respond.And in the next moment, the transfer student’s response exceeded their expectations.“Do you know? The Saintess can even heal injuries such as severed limbs without much trouble.”“…”What did he just say…? The employee who had been yelling just a moment ago tilted his head and on realizing the meaning behind the words, he swallowed audibly. I’ll cut off your limbs.
