Chapter 190: The Teams are Chosen
Hearing Adam’s words Joshua became very angry. His calm noble demeanor finally cracked. He stepped towards Adam his hands clenching into fists at his sides. "You have a lot of faith in your team," he said his voice a low growl. It was a statement but it sounded like a threat.
Hearing Joshua’s words Adam moved forward even more. He closed the small distance between them completely. He stood right in front of Joshua invading his personal space their chests almost touching. He looked the powerful fourth-year leader directly in the eye. "I have more faith in my team than I have in myself," he said his voice quiet but firm and full of a strange power.
Hearing Adam’s powerful declaration of trust his team which was standing nervously behind him was very surprised. They looked at each other their eyes wide with disbelief.
They didn’t know that Adam their new and mysterious leader paid so much attention to them. They didn’t know he trusted them so much. Although everyone was looking at each other peacefully a great deal of surprise was in everyone’s eyes. They were also surprised that Adam was not fighting the Golden Team or any other team directly this time.
Instead he was challenging them in exchange for his team’s hard work their ability to complete missions. He was betting on them their skills and their potential. Although it was still not clear whether their group would even be officially established or not.
The Principal had not yet announced that "Eric" had obtained the Emperor’s signature. He had only given him a week’s time.
Seeing Adam’s complete confidence everyone in the cafeteria was very surprised especially his own team members. His members did not feel so confident about their own capabilities. They were just first-years after all. Joshua the leader of the Golden Group was also very surprised. He took his eyes off Adam.
He looked past him at his team. He could also see that Adam’s team members were not nearly as confident as their leader. He saw the doubt and the fear in their eyes. Seeing this his own confidence also increased a lot. And then Joshua looked back at Adam and said with a smirk
"So are you ready to call all the members of the Golden Group ’Master’ for the next four years? Because that is what will happen when you lose." The challenge was set. The stakes were high. And the entire cafeteria was watching. The first great competition of the new academic year was about to begin.
