Chapter 170: Do You Feel The Difference in Power? (9)
When the five judges declared Pashian the winner instead of Norman, the crowd erupted into boos.
“What kind of crap is this? Anyone can see Sir Norman won!”
“That’s a biased judgment! We don’t accept this!”
Norman stood still, watching how things unfolded, but the look on his face was murderous, as if he were ready to tear the judges apart. However, the announcer, seemingly prepared for this reaction, began to explain.
—We understand why some of you may disagree with the judges’ decision. It’s true that in the duel between Sir Pashian and Sir Norman, Sir Norman had a slight upper hand. We don’t deny that. However, the reason we sided with Sir Pashian lies elsewhere.
As the announcer claimed to have a reason, the audience fell silent, as if waiting to hear what excuse they would come up with.
—When the explosion occurred in the city, Sir Pashian immediately halted his attack, upholding the knightly code. Sir Norman, however, took advantage of that moment to deliver a surprise strike. The judges witnessed this clearly and deemed it a violation of chivalry.
It was a shameless statement, but soon, people began to chime in, saying they had seen it too.
“I definitely saw it. Sir Pashian lowered his sword, but Sir Norman kept going and aimed for his neck!”
“That’s too much.”
“No matter how strong he is, that’s just dirty. Not knightly at all.”
“This tournament is to choose the knight that represents the south. I don’t want some coward who ambushes people to be the Sword of the South.”
