Chapter 51: DANGER LURKING IN THE SHADOWS
While the battle continued, two suspicious figures stood silently in a dim corner of the gallery—where the shadows met the edge of the light. Their faces were covered by hoods.
Unnoticed by everyone, their eyes were locked on the stage.
"Now do you believe me? I told you he is the one who defeated me. But nobody in the sect believed me. Rather, they mocked me for being defeated by a kid. I told you he is strong."
The person beside him, to whom he was complaining, finally spoke.
"Okay, I agree that he is strong. But are you really telling me he is the one who killed our three mages that we sent to investigate?
Open your eyes and see clearly.
He is struggling against a mage who is only Tier 2. And we sent three. One of them was Tier 4. And the others—no weaklings either. Both Tier 3.
If that’s the limit of his genius, then he is definitely not what you were exaggerating about."
"Trust me, Elder Edward. He is hiding. And a lot at that. When we fought, he didn’t even use magic. Not a single spell. He surely has some training method which is unique. If we can acquire that, then our world domination plan will be unstoppable."
"Yeah, yeah, Zereth. It’s alright to lose to a kid. But just to cover your weakness, blabbering this rubbish stuff about training methods and all that—it’s too much, don’t you think? You even brought me here. To prove your point.
If he is really that amazing you speak about, then why isn’t he using it?
