Another World Mall

Jay's sword was stopped by the referees, but at the same time, this was the end of the battle.

"Well, well… it seems the battle has been decided." Alan smirked. With this victory, it could be said that the Libation Fiesta was an excellent team.

Even if Clovis lost the next battle, people would think that the Melesviet Team was just a one-man team. On the other hand, the Libation Fiesta was a balanced team.

Of course, without Christina fighting, the glory for the Libation Fiesta would become even higher. After all, people would think, what if Christina fought in this battle?

The people were stunned for a moment before a cheer erupted.

"Uohh!"

"The arena is shaking! The battle has been decided!" Utaha screamed, feeling goosebumps all over her skin. "Jay Havenson has won the match. Despite all the wounds he has suffered, he didn't show any change of expression to remarkably fool his opponent.

"Both vice captains have fought brilliantly, carrying the weight of their position. However, only one can win, and that is Jay Havenson!"

"Libation Fiesta!"

"Libation Fiesta!"

The people started chanting their names out loud because the Libation Fiesta had completely crushed their opponent.

"It seems that people are getting excited, right, Principal?" Hana smirked.

"Indeed." Principal Vhalor nodded. "There is only one battle left. This is the most important battle. Tesron has been known for his unique ability for so long, so this will be a tough fight for Clovis. It's a shame that Christina, who has a unique ability, can't fight in his stead."

"Are you saying Tesron will win this fight?"

"I don't know. I personally wish for Clovis to win, but looking at the current condition, it doesn't seem likely. It's not that I look down on Clovis, but there is a huge gap between them."

"Then, should we make a bet?" Hana grinned. "I bet Clovis will win. If I lose, let's see… should I make a facility of my OpenSky Company inside the academy so that students can get the new beast soul easier?"

"Hohoho. That's definitely something the academy would like, but I don't like the fact that the academy earns something by expecting its representative to lose, so I won't take that bet."

"Indeed. Let's change it then. If I win, you process my graduation. I already passed all the requirements to graduate anyway. If I lose, I will follow the normal procedure.

"Well, if I win, I should celebrate the victory, no? How about giving me a piece of land for the facility? Let's see… How about a 10% discount for the students who wish to have their own new beast soul? And it might continue with the soul weapon and even the exoskeleton in the future." Hana smirked.

"Hoho. That's definitely interesting." The principal smiled.

Of course, they didn't announce the bet first. If Clovis won and the bet was announced, people would like Hana even more, thinking she was a saint by giving this discount and the first academy would become even more crowded. It would boost Hana's reputation further, which would allow her to dominate the domestic market.

Meanwhile, in the arena, Yasen could only grit his teeth. He should have won.

Just looking at Jay's condition alone was enough to tell him he could win in less than a minute. The frustration and regret were simply too much for his heart to handle.

Jay, on the other hand, sighed. "In a frontal life-and-death battle… I definitely couldn't win against you."

"!!!" Yasen widened his eyes, not expecting Jay to admit such a thing.

"But this captain of mine has told me about one thing. This is a match, not a life-and-death battle. There are things you can use to win a match but can't kill your opponent." Jay staggered. "That's our difference. If we end up becoming an enemy where only one of us can survive, I will properly defeat you next time. Though, I don't wish for that time to ever come."

Without waiting for a reply, Jay exited the stage.

"…" Yasen was dumbfounded. Unfortunately, Jay chose the wrong time to say those words.

After this loss, the Melesviet Team had their back on the corner.

Yasen could feel the fury coming from the VIP room where Tesron was watching.

"You're useless. All of you are useless! How can they shame us like this?!" Tesron roared and started kicking or slamming anything around him. He came here to boost his reputation, but he never thought it would be a trap to crush him. After this battle, he would become a laughingstock.

Even his grandfather had been tricked into handing over ten percent shares of their revenue.

Tesron gritted his teeth. Once his grandfather returned, he would be so furious that no one knew what he would do.

And there was only one way to lessen the damage. At least, he wanted to avoid getting blasted by his grandfather.

"I have to do it myself. Since they all are useless, I just have to win this battle." He gritted his teeth and grabbed his sword. "I will show them who is stronger."

He exited the room, determined to crush Clovis.

Meanwhile, Clovis remained calm and even politely bowed to Ezekiel. "In that case, I'll take my leave, sir Ezekiel. I'll do my best to win."

"Yes. I know you are strong. You have experienced Christina's unique ability while possessing one yourself. Whether you win or not, it doesn't matter.

"Enjoy the fight and gain experience from this fight. If you are going to continue onward, there will be a lot more monsters with such abilities in your way. If you want to stand tall in the future, you have to fight all those monsters.

"So, fight… fight in the way that your grandfather can be proud of you. Don't bring shame to your family, Clovis Hacfield. No matter what you unleash today, I will be covering your back."

Clovis nodded. "Thank you very much, sir."

This battle would probably become the most watched battle in history. It was a battle between the renowned future Tier 9 and an unknown guy who led a monstrous group. And it would also be the battle where Clovis would reveal his unique ability to the entire world.
