Chapter 191: Registering the Impossible
As soon as Joshua turned back to his table, a silent dismissal, Adam also left. He moved away from the tense atmosphere of the Golden Group’s section and headed towards the main exit of the cafeteria.
His team members, the five he had chosen for the competition and the rest of the eighty-strong New Warriors, followed him from behind. They moved as a single, uncertain unit.
They had many questions in their minds. But Adam, instead of turning to answer their questions or to offer them any words of encouragement, was just walking ahead.
His team members walking behind him were thinking about what their leader "Eric" was thinking at this time. They couldn’t understand anything about what he was going to do next.
Whatever Adam had done so far, from the first day in the dormitory courtyard to the confrontation in the cafeteria, was all above their minds. It was beyond their understanding. Although in this group, Void was the only one who understood Adam a little. He was not confused. He was very excited in his heart.
Although he had his own orders from above, from the Apostles, that for now, as much as possible, he should work in the shadows and not bring himself too much to the forefront. He was not supposed to reveal his true power. Thinking this in his mind, Void thought that at least he could show a little bit of his strength if Adam needed his help in this competition.
Adam stopped at a short distance from the cafeteria. He stood before the south gate of the vast Academy grounds. Just beyond this gate was the forest where the mission building was located. Right behind that building was the massive, dark forest where most of the academy’s students completed their dangerous missions. Adam looked at that building, at the entrance to the forest. He was ready to begin the competition.
His team stood behind him. Their hearts were filled with a mixture of deep fear and a fragile, flickering hope. They didn’t know what to expect. But they knew one thing for sure.
Their leader, Eric, had a plan. And they were all a part of it. The day of the great bet had just begun. And the forest was waiting. The real test of their new faction, The New Warriors, was about to start. And the entire Academy would be watching the results board to see what would happen.
