Chapter 180 - Leon's Verbal Spat

(From Zack's perspective)

"I'll get to Mountain Liz in a few hours." I muttered something under my breath. As I considered the travel time. I got up earlier today to prepare for this trip. That doesn't mean I'm not concerned about what's going on at the Hansen campus. I went to my student account to see if there were any new updates. I was surprised to see the new announcement as soon as the homepage appeared.

"Damn!"

"The second challenge duel is underway."

I didn't expect the May Ford students to challenge as soon as they stepped onto campus when I read the announcement, I sighed. Perhaps because they are dissatisfied with yesterday's outcome.

Then I pressed the play button on the video of the first duel. Leon annihilating his opponent in the blink of an eye. I knew he was tough deep down. But defeating someone without batting an eyelid only demonstrates how deep he is hidden. As I watched the second duel, my suspicions were confirmed.

With a shake of my head, I predicted the outcome of the next duel. Almost every powerful top students on the Hansen campus took part in the life-or-death duel. We were given a few days off, but I wasn't sure how the May Ford People would react if they knew the truth.

I refreshed the homepage, slightly concerned, to see the next duel.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Hansen building, Mr. Arthur is watching the ongoing challenge duel from his office. His face is worried, but he has a glimmer of hope about the third duel.

The May Ford supporters will calm down and call an end to this duel. However, seeing the expressions of the Hansen students, he felt bad, but it is necessary not to expose the true strength of the top students.

Within the general battle platform.

Leon is looking forward to the next opponent after humiliating Hansen students. But all he could see were the hesitant expressions of Hansen students.

"What exactly is going on?" Even after I uttered those heinous words. Luke and the other strong students are nowhere to be found." Leon is a little perplexed about the situation.

He then noticed Mr. Frederick's expression. Even after those students started complaining about me, he didn't seem to care.

"There's something wrong!" Leon's brow furrowed in scepticism.

Since no one wants to take on the challenge. Leon reasoned that waiting here was pointless. He made his way toward Mr. Frederick. The Hansen students stopped arguing when they saw Leon approaching their staff. They wish to listen in on the conversation.

Mr. Frederick moved his gaze to Leon. His heartbeat began to quicken. "What is he doing, why is he approaching me?" He thought to himself.

Leon approached him, and this time he clearly decided to raise his voice a little higher. So that everyone can hear his voice clearly.

"Mr. Frederick, "Where has Luke gone?" Leon smiled as he said this.

His voice rang out across the entire viewing platform. Leon's words were heard by all. Among the Hansen students, there was a sudden murmur. They, too, want to know why Luke didn't show up today. If Luke had arrived earlier. The outcome of the first and second duels would be different.

The same discussion is taking place among May Ford students.

"Fatty bro, what do you think about that Luke?" one of the May Ford students asked.

Hearing that, fatty put down his snacks. "Luke is strong, but in comparison to our Leon, he is not that special," he said after drinking water. I was hoping to see the fight between these two yesterday. However, this did not occur." Fatty began to eat his snacks again, shaking his head.

While the same conversation is taking place among the students everywhere.

Mr. Frederick, on the other hand, responded, "Leon did not come today." We don't know exactly why."

Leon didn't believe him when he heard this. He had a feeling there was something fishy going on. But he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

"Then, where are your other top students?" Leon sighed. So, how about them? There is still one duel to be had. I'd like to compete against your best students. Otherwise, I'll tell the outside world that your campus is teaching wimps, cowards, and trash warriors."

"You!" Mr. Frederick indicated him with his finger. He couldn't help but pause in the middle of his words. He knew if he said anything else. There would be severe ramifications.

May Ford students, on the other hand, were beaming.

"How come he isn't here today?" Fatty made a remark.

"In any case, this is also beneficial to us because it allows us to return home earlier." One of the female students spoke up.

"No, it would be meaningless if we defeated Hansen's weak ones," fatty said, shaking his head. Hansen may slander us behind our backs tomorrow, claiming that we did not defeat their strong ones."

The rest of the May Ford students nodded in agreement.

Hansen students, on the other hand, were in disbelief.

"No way, unless Luke brother is truly absent today." "Then who will fight him?" one Hansen student debated with his friends.

Then, out of nowhere, one of the female students approached her friend and asked, "Claire, Is your boyfriend's name Miles? He is also one of our best students," Claire said after hearing her friend's words. "That guy didn't come today," she snorted. His mentor granted him a few days' leave to rest at home."

Claire's female friends all smiled helplessly as they heard her words.

Everywhere, the same conversation is taking place. They eventually discovered that the top students had been given a few days off.

Knowing that those top students' friends understood something. Management is to blame for their unexpected departure. As a result, they remained silent and did not say anything.

...

More than 15 minutes after the second duel. There are still no top students who have come here to take on the challenge. Leon couldn't help but become irritated. To carry out his plan, he must defeat Hansen's top students.

He felt a sudden surge of rage in his heart.

"I used to think Hansen students were a bunch of jerks. The top students were terrified. They didn't even attempt to take up the challenge. What a waste of time this is." Leon uttered those words aloud.

When his words were heard by all. Particularly on the May Ford viewing platform. In disbelief, Fatty spits out the snack. "No way, this isn't Leon." What will happen to him?" Fatty thought to himself. Leon despised those vulgar words, he knew. This is not your typical template. What exactly is going on?

The rest of the May Ford employees were also taken aback by Leon's words. It's the first time they've seen their classmate Leon act like this. Some of them opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

Female students covered their mouths with their hands.

Some Hansen students, on the other hand, stood up from their seats. They couldn't possibly want to punch the person who is insulting them. In contrast to the management, the Hansen students were unaware of the May Ford campus's status in comparison to their own. As a result, they began to refute Leon's words without any prior knowledge.

While some students rose from their seats to refute Leon's claim. At one of the viewing platform's corners. There were five people who were staunch supporters of Zack Lockwood. They were talking about Zack. "If Zack was here," one female supporter said. We could have seen his combat prowess in broad daylight."

Hearing her words, the rest of her friends nodded. This conversation, however, piques the interest of Luke's supporter.

"Harumph," snorted one Luke supporter upon hearing that, "Right, where is Zack?" He is now our current Seed Candidate. It is his moral obligation to defend Hansen. Isn't that right?"

He expressed his displeasure. His voice was somewhat audible. It piqued the interest of other Hansen students. This provided them with an opportunity to defend their favourite.

Zack is a legitimate seed candidate. They started talking about him. Eventually, the entire stand is discussing Zack.

May Ford students, on the other hand, began to hear their words.

"Who is this Zack?" Under his teeth, Fatty muttered. In search of answers, he turned to his classmates. But they, too, appeared to be in the dark about it.

"Wait, I'll ask Hansen students about it," one of his classmates said. He returned a few minutes later and said, "Fatty, that fellow named Zack is the seed candidate of Hansen campus." But it appears that he did not arrive today."

Fatty was taken aback when he heard his classmate's words. A seed candidate is no laughing matter. It is officially bestowed upon strong and potential warriors. Their May Ford campus also received Seed Candidate, but he is far more powerful than currant Leon. His heart is suddenly piqued with curiosity. He's eager to see how strong Hansen's seed candidate is. "Perhaps this trip isn't as bad as I think." He thought to himself.

Leon, on the other hand, has heard the name Zack. In his eyes, a surprised glint appears. "Think Hansen campus can also afford Seed quota." What is his name? If I can thrash their Seed Candidate in front of them, It would be best. Then my mission would be completed without further comment.." He hatches evil plan in his mind.
