Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Preparing to Register

Soon, two days passed.

At noon, Charles left the training tower, marking the first time he had come out at this hour in days. Experience exclusive tales on m v|l -NovelFire.net

He had tried both the fourth and fifth levels of the training tower.

He was looking for that feeling of life-and-death crisis, wanting to engage in a true battle for survival, but the results were disappointing.

Inside the training tower, he always felt like something was missing, perhaps it was the subconscious knowledge that even if he lost a battle, he wouldn't truly die.

Charles found himself unable to merge and create the combat techniques he had comprehended, he simply couldn't do it.

"It seems I still need to find a real life-and-death battle. I'll have to give the underground octagonal cage a try." Charles sighed.

If possible, it would be better to complete the creation of his own combat techniques in the training tower.

Unfortunately, reality doesn't always meet our expectations, and life can't be smooth sailing all the time.

Such things only left Charles a bit disappointed, but his mindset remained very positive.

As Charles walked towards the principal's office, he contemplated Finn's situation.

Today marked the fifth day of Finn's challenge against the "Reaper's Scythe." He had performed exceptionally well in the first four battles, leading more and more people to believe that Finn would surely succeed in his challenge.

Even the tickets for the underground matches had begun to rise in price.

I just wonder if that one-armed boy will make a move, if he does, it should be within the next couple of days.

Charles was contemplating this in his mind. He planned to speak with Principal Jamie and Teacher Colton later about going to watch Finn's fight in the evening, and to register for the "Reaper's Scythe."

Soon, Charles arrived at the principal's office.

Coincidentally, Teacher Hale was also there, seemingly in a discussion with Jamie about something.

When Charles walked in, the two stopped talking, but Hale's expression looked somewhat grim, as if he was worried about something.

Upon seeing Charles, he forced a stiff smile and said, "Why aren't you in the training tower? You can't keep up high-intensity training all the time, it's good to take a proper rest."

Charles looked at Hale with curiosity. He didn't answer the question and instead asked, "Teacher Hale, is something wrong?"

Hale shot a straight-faced glance at Jamie and chose to remain silent. He was unsure whether he should tell Charles.

If it affected Charles's training state and delayed his progress, that wouldn't be good.

Charles turned to Jamie, waiting for his response.

Jamie sighed and slowly said, "The thing is, we've received news from the headquarters, they haven't been able to contact Ezra either."

The office fell silent instantly.

Concern began to creep into Charles's mind, he had already speculated about all of this.

"Principal, it seems that the Taylor family is not so simple, they have issues, and Ezra's situation might be related to them." Charles immediately stated.

This was a logical deduction, based on the Taylor family's actions, they must have been aware of the problems with Ezra long ago. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Only then would they dare to target him so maliciously, otherwise, once Ezra returned, the Taylor family would face the wrath of a divine beast!

"I know. The investigation into the Taylor family is ongoing. Recently, there have also been some other movements from Genosha Calivia. It seems..." Jamie only said half of his sentence, as the rest was not suitable to share with Charles.

He didn't want Charles to be preoccupied with thoughts of Ezra, so he chose to change the subject and asked, "Charles, is there something you need today?"

Charles remembered the reason he came to see Jamie and replied, "Well, Principal, I want to register for the Reaper's Scythe challenge tonight."

"What! Tonight?" "Charles, is something wrong? Don't act impulsively!"

Jamie seemed to have heard some unbelievable news, as he stood up, eyes wide open, staring at Charles.

Hale's reaction was similar, he instinctively thought that Charles had encountered some problem and was acting on impulse to register for the Reaper's Scythe today.

Charles looked at their reactions and scratched his head, explaining, "I think it's about time, I'm ready to take on the challenge."

"The timing seems off, Charles. You really should think this through, maybe wait a bit longer." Jamie quickly responded.

It had only been a few days, Jamie felt that it might be the result of recent intense training that made Charles feel this way.

"I have fully comprehended the figures on the stone wall, and my progress in combat techniques has reached its limit. What I lack now is a real battle." Charles said.

Jamie instinctively replied, "It's only been a short while, you've comprehended... wait, what did you just say?"

"You fully comprehended the figures on the stone wall?"

Faced with Jamie's stunned expression, Charles simply nodded.

He had seen thirty figures on the stone wall in the training tower, and he had completed the comprehension of all of them. Moreover, his understanding of combat techniques had reached 99%.

It was indeed time to register for the Reaper's Scythe challenge!

"Charles, are you saying you've comprehended all thirty figures, or just the fifteen you saw?" Jamie asked cautiously.

These two concepts were not the same, if Charles had comprehended all thirty figures, he would be a genius among geniuses!

However, there were a total of thirty figures on the wall, and no one had ever been able to see them all, let alone comprehend them completely.

After Jamie asked, he quickly realized that the latter was simply impossible. He hurriedly said, "To comprehend fifteen figures and manage the progress of combat techniques so well, Charles, you truly amaze me!"

Hale also understood the significance of this, Charles was a monster!

However, what Charles said next once again plunged the two into silence.

"I saw thirty figures on the stone wall, and I've comprehended all of them." Charles stated.

He had nothing to hide at this point. Initially, he mentioned only fifteen figures just to stay low-key.

But after being the center of attention for so long, Charles had gotten used to it and decided to just say it all outright.

The office was incredibly quiet.

Only the sound of their three heartbeats filled the air. Charles looked at Principal Jamie and Teacher Hale with confusion, if it weren't for the sound of their heartbeats,

He might have almost thought that the two had turned into statues!

"Thirty figures, my goodness! Charles, you are a monster among monsters!" Jamie gulped.

After saying this, he quickly picked up the tea on the table, disregarding the heat, and took a big gulp,

as if that was the only way to ease the shock he felt inside.

Charles wouldn't joke about something like this. Even though Jamie was aware of Charles's personality, he felt a bit uncertain because this matter was truly beyond what he could accept!

Jamie had never personally seen how many figures were on the stone wall in the Genosha Cyber Academy's training tower, he only knew from headquarters that there were a total of thirty, representing thirty different combat techniques.

For any student, being able to see five or six figures and fully comprehend them to transform into combat techniques was already impressive.

Reaching a count of fifteen would give a chance to create one's own combat techniques.

He never expected that Charles would directly arrive at thirty!

What kind of concept was that!

If he could create his own combat techniques, Charles's techniques would surely be among the top tier, combining thirty different combat techniques into one unique style. Jamie had never seen anything like it!

After a long discussion,

Principal Jamie ultimately agreed with Charles's decision. The only thought in his mind was that no matter what, he couldn't let Charles die in the octagonal cage.

In every battle Charles faced in the "Reaper's Scythe." he would be there, ready to support him.

If Charles encountered any life-threatening danger, as an eighth-level Beast Master, Jamie would not hesitate to intervene.

Even if it meant breaking the underground world's rules and upsetting the Dawn organization, he didn't care!

Charles was the hope of the Genosha branch of the Cyber Academy!

He was also Jamie's hope, the hope of returning to the main academy!

After leaving the principal's office, Charles went to see Teacher Colton and briefly explained the current situation.

Teacher Colton hesitated for a long time but eventually agreed with Charles's choice.

He cared deeply about Charles but believed that one couldn't grow quickly without facing challenges.

The next steps were straightforward.

In the evening, they would go to the underground world to register for the competition.

With the whole afternoon ahead of him, Charles thought he should take a short rest, he was exhausted from recent training.

A little rest would help him recover to peak condition and prepare for the battle tomorrow.

After having lunch, he returned to his dormitory.

Charles lay on his bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. In his heart, he kept thinking about Teacher Ezra.

But right now, he didn't have the strength to participate, all he could do was wait,

wait for good news to arrive.

...

That night,

in the underground world of Genosha Calivia.

The massive underground space was already packed with people. The recent battles had turned the octagonal cage into the focus of attention for everyone in Genosha.

Charles brought Celestine to a spot near the "Graveyard" octagonal cage and sat down.

He looked around, trying to find out who Finn's opponent was today.

Unfortunately, it wasn't time for the fight to begin yet, and neither side had appeared.

The fervent spectators weren't concerned about Finn's opponent, they simply rushed to the staff,

pulling out wads of cash to bet on Finn's victory.

Watching this scene, Charles thought to himself that if that one-armed boy showed up,

those gamblers would probably lose everything!

At that moment, Finn slowly walked out of the tunnel, prompting a wave of loud cheers.

On the other side, a boy without a right arm entered the octagonal cage amidst the audience's boos.
