Chapter 177 - Part Three: May Ford Team's Challenge

Inside the office cabin, Arthur, who has been watching the entire episode on his live screen, is growing increasingly suspicious of Luke.

Luke's performance deliberately pits Hansen against the May Ford Centre. "Who is he working for?" He wondered as he watched Luke's fight on the big screen.

As he taps his fingers on the desk, he thinks to himself.

He is concerned that a young man named Leon will cause trouble. However, he did not foresee this situation. Given this, Luke is engaged in a life-or-death duel. "What made him decide to demonstrate his abilities right now?" Is it really because of the May Fords? Or maybe there's something else." He began to think.

If this situation persists, we will find ourselves in an unfavourable position in relation to May Ford Centre. Mr. Arthur didn't dare to think of going against May Ford Centre's future prospects. He made contact with Frederick.

When the call was answered, Mr. Arthur said, "Frederick, cancel the event now." Three matches are sufficient. It would be difficult to respond otherwise. If any of them are hurt."

Mr. Frederick, on the other hand, followed the instruction.

When he saw the kid from May Ford, he stood up and prepared to take part in the fourth challenge. His voice was heard by everyone when he yelled, "Silence!" Students stopped what they were doing when they heard him, and everyone, including May Ford students, turned to face him.

Mr. Frederick was pleased to see everyone's reaction. "Everyone, the challenge is over. You can all go to your classes and continue your training."

Students are dissatisfied after hearing his words. They are very interested in seeing Luke's fight progress. But, without a choice, students disperse from the common battle platform one by one. They all left quickly, just a few minutes later. Luke, Mr. Frederick, and the May Ford students were left behind.

Luke was dissatisfied in his heart as he watched everyone leave. "It appears that someone in management noticed something. "It's a waste of time to keep going." Luke shook his head and walked away from this location to his class.

When he passed the May Ford people, he didn't even give them a sidelong glance. He bolted right away.

May Ford Student's face has an unnatural expression as a result of his behaviour. Leon Stevens, in particular, is pleased with the outcome, but he did not expect the challenges to end so abruptly. "Looks like they have some smart people in their management," he thought to himself.

Leon rose from his seat as he noticed Luke return. He must act now in order for his plan to be successful. So he approached Mr. Frederick and said, "Mr. Frederick, We came here, as you said, to learn by exchanging pointers with your students. But the rest of us didn't even get to fight. After watching three defeats, it's impossible to leave this place with this result, especially since I'm the strongest of them. I hope we can continue to learn from your students tomorrow."

Hearing his words, I finally relaxed and smiled with joy. Their concerns were alleviated. "Leon will definitely teach them a lesson if he makes a move tomorrow." Some of his classmates expressed their thoughts.

Mr. Frederick, on the other hand, has black lines on his forehead. He didn't directly refute it. "I can't make this decision for you," he replied. It's up to higher-ups; I'll notify them of your concern."

Leon has no trouble understanding what he is saying. He was well aware that he was not the one making decisions. "All right, Mr. Frederick, we'll be back tomorrow," he said.

"Don't you want to see other areas of the building?" Mr. Frederick was curious.

"Mr. Frederick," Leon said, shaking his head. Two of our friends were taken away for medical treatment. We'd like to start by paying them a visit. Furthermore, we are currently not in the mood to participate in the campus tour." Mr. Frederick's idea was carefully rejected by Leon.

Seeing that none of Leon's classmates disagree with him. Mr. Frederick exhaled a sigh. He then led them to the treatment area.

…

(Zack's POV)

"What happened?" Maria expressed her displeasure.

It must be Mr. Arthur, because he decisively ended this match before it could turn into a squabble. In my heart, I admired Mr. Arthur's thinking. Then I turned to Maria and said, "It's not an official match." There's no need to fight them all. Otherwise, the May Ford Centre may cause trouble."

Maria's eyes widened as she heard my words.

"Oh, I had no idea something like that existed. I was interested in by their duel. However, based on your words, it does not appear to be simple." Maria stated solemnly.

I sighed and nodded in response to her words. At the very least, she is not stupid, as one would expect of an heir from a powerful family.

"You should look after yourself. As you mentioned, Luke is a difficult opponent. It would be preferable if you prepared some whole cards ahead of time." Maria finally said those words to me as she exited the discussion hall.

She didn't have to tell me because I'd already classified him as a Class 3 Monster rather than a human. My pace is slower than his. I'm hoping I won't have to deal with him in the coming days.

There aren't many options if it's next week. By then, I'll most likely have made a breakthrough. For the past few days, I've been sensing the next barrier. Unlike small realm barriers, the Trainee Apprentice and Special Trainee face a massive barrier. I moved towards the gravity training chamber room for training.

…

On the other hand, after seeing how well his classmates were doing. In his heart, Leon frowns. He didn't show it on his face, though.

The fatty turned to Leon and said, "Leon, if you had acted up earlier. We might perhaps not ended in this situation. We would have erased their smug expressions."

"Look at this pig!" Leon couldn't help but feel compelled to reprimand him. This fatty is powerful enough to rally all of his classmates against him.

Before anyone had a chance to say anything. "Don't worry, guys," Leon said, "I'll challenge them tomorrow." If the management of Hansen did not accept the challenge. Then we'll notify everyone on campus."

Mr. Fredericks' smile was helpless. " As far as he knows, Leon is a strong kid. I must inform Mr. Arthur that he must select a few strong students to face him tomorrow." He reflected to himself.

"Usually, this guy would refute me," Fatty said, doubting Leon's words. "Why is he following me?" He didn't think about it any further after that. As he saw it, it was natural for anyone to defend their classmates and academy.

Leon smiled inwardly as he received the expected response from his classmate. "Even if I intentionally injure them, Hansen has no choice but to swallow their words tomorrow," he thought to himself, a ruthless glint in his eyes flashes.

Leon and his friends left the Hansen building after verifying the final checkup. They intend to return earlier tomorrow.

Mr. Frederick finally felt at ease when he saw the backs of the May Ford students vanish. He walks directly toward Mr. Arthur's cabin after taking a deep breath.

…

Mr. Arthur is currently researching Luke's background. Even in his database, there is no credible information about him. They didn't see the point in going any further. As long as people's interests do not conflict with the academy's. Most of the time, they turn a blind eye. Because people will not be able to stay here indefinitely, teaching is limited to three years.

They must leave by the end of the year, willing or not.

"This Luke is going to leave at the end of the year." Why is he behaving this way right now? It is not in his best interests for him to do so. First it was a life-or-death duel, and now it's a challenge against the May Ford People. His actions are legal, but they are not in the best interests of Hansen." He reflected to himself.

He, too, examined Luke's abilities. He couldn't help but become concerned about Zack. "I need to remind this kid once more." Mr. Arthur muttered something under his breath.

While Mr. Arthur mulls over it. When he heard a knock, he opened the door and let the person in.

When he saw Mr. Frederick walk in, he realised those devils (aka May Ford students) had left the building.

Seeing Mr. Frederick's expression, he motions for him to take a seat and inquires, "What did he say?"

When Mr. Frederick heard this, he explained everything, including conversations between May Ford students. He then talks about Leon's remarks. He then urged Mr. Arthur to bring a strong lineup tomorrow, if an event is scheduled.

Mr. Arthur furrowed his brows. He was well aware that Leon was up to no good. It would be surprising if Leon did not take advantage of this opportunity in light of Luke's actions.

Observing Mr. Arthur's silence. "Mr. Arthur," Mr. Frederick said. What should I tell them? They'll be hounding me for the details."

"Only the elders can make a decision." I'll notify you in the evening." Mr. Arthur reassured him with his words.
