Chapter 270 The 8th Platform Competition (1)

Noticing Lothur looking at them, the three individuals stopped their dialogue to notice this annoying-looking person.

"This brat is 'worse' than you had told me, Cedric..." The uncle of this young man who had lost in the bet with Lothur commented as he observed the level of Lothur's appearance. 'How can someone look like that? Where is the justice in the world?'

The young man who was going to compete with Lothur then commented. "It is as they say, in some cases, the creator doesn't outsource his work... This guy is living proof of that!"

Cedric listened to the comments of these two and then looked in the direction where Annaliese was standing, feeling bad for his inferiority.

But then he saw Viktoria standing next to Annaliese and almost had a heart attack at the sight of the more beautiful twin of the two.

Gulp!

Viktoria and Annaliese were identical twins, but Lothur's wife had a more developed body, which made her much more attractive than her younger sister.

Since she was also a few levels above Annaliese, Viktoria seemed to overshadow her sister's beauty when she stood side by side with this young woman.

As such, Cedric could not help but swallow his saliva and watch for those two. 'What a vision of paradise...' But then he remembered the information he had collected about Lothur over the past few hours.

'Doesn't that mean he is married to the prettiest one?' He looked back at Lothur and felt even angrier at this person who had humiliated him.

"Damn it!"

"Hartmut, find a way to humiliate this dude. We can't let someone like him stand out even more!" He said as he grabbed one of the wrists of that level 9 man.

But Hartmut did not even need to be encouraged. Someone with Lothur's looks naturally deserved to suffer to pay for his crimes!

"Don't worry. This person will be eliminated from the competition for formations masters already in the first match with me here." He confidently said before stepping onto the platform where his and Lothur's match would take place.

Lothur saw the whole interaction of the three from afar and already knew more or less what would happen from now on. 'So this fellow is here for revenge, huh? How pathetic. He had to ask for the help of others to take me on...'

While Cedric shivered at the look Lothur had just given in his direction, Kai was nearby, standing next to his competitor in this exam.

"Damn it!"

"How did this person get the test spot against this little bastard?" He asked his underling, who was standing next to him and his competitor.

Kai had naturally planned to put someone to get in Lothur's way for each of the tests the silver-haired young man intended to take today. But surprisingly, someone else had taken the lead and stolen the first opportunity he would have for the day.

Kai's underling then said. "Boss, I think this has something to do with that person..." He pointed in the direction of Cedric's uncle. "He's on the local Formations Masters Association council, so he has more influence than we do."

"Oh? And why would he want to act against that bastard?" Kai asked, still feeling angry at losing the chance to cause some 'accident' for Lothur.

"That... I don't know." The dark-skinned man lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

The Mouse Company had been watching Lothur, but this young man had only recently made enmity with Cedric, and it all happened inside the Formations Masters Association. So, they had no details of what that young man had done in such a place.

Thus, all he could tell his boss was that individual's relationship with such an organization and explained his failure to get the position for their candidate.

"Damn it!"

p "Now he will be eliminated without at least being injured or humiliated!" Kai clenched his teeth hard.

His competitor then joked. "Brother Kai, I might still have my chance if he gets through to the second round."

"Tsk!"

"What a joke..."

...

While Kai was feeling the loss of his first opportunity, the referee on the 8th platform explained the dispute to Lothur and Hartmut.

"Very well. You two will have 10 minutes to develop your attack and defense formations with the selected materials." A gray-haired old man commented as he gestured with his hands, alternating his gaze between the two on that platform.

"After that time is up, whoever has not finished at least one of them will be eliminated. If you both fail, we will give the spot to the one who has done more in their formations."

"But if both of you finish within the time, you will have to attack each other with your formations the moment the time is up." He pointed to a giant hourglass above the platform.

Then the old man laughed as he saw the look of surprise on Lothur's face. "Who suffers the least and causes the most damage to his opponent will win the confrontation!"

"Oh? That's a little different than I expected..." Lothur commented, feeling that this test was much more interesting than the ones he had taken in the Association.

"Humph! What did you expect? It would be a junior test, like the one you took recently?" Hartmut asked in a disdainful tone, sensing that Lothur would soon lose his good result in the entrance test for the Association.

The match referee ignored the rivalry between the two and asked. "Are you ready? We won't give a second more when the match starts!"

The two nodded in agreement, and then the old man in the center of the platform punched upward, causing a pulse to form and turn the giant hourglass.

"Begin!" He shouted, at the same time as Lothur and Hartmut already began to prepare their formations.

Along with them, every person in the surrounding area began to watch this platform with interest since, as much as no one there was among the favorites, Lothur was quite famous for his lack of qualities.

As a famous, good-for-nothing, irritating-looking to men, the husband of the most beautiful young woman in the city, and son-in-law of the Frost family, everyone wanted to see Lothur's downfall.

So, in the blink of an eye, everyone there was watching in the direction of that 'mortal,' waiting to watch the Frost family's first defeat in this competition.

But not everyone there was among those who wished for his downfall. Besides Viktoria and Annaliese, Lina, the formations master of the Christen family, was there to follow Lothur's matches!

'How far will you go?' She wondered as she looked with interest at Lothur manipulating his formation flags, already beginning to inscribe his codes on his chosen materials.

And in that instant, except for Lina, Cedric, and Annaliese, who were already expecting excellent performance from Lothur, the people there began to notice his abilities.

Lothur had no difficulty moving his brush within the laws' restricted space. But not only that, this time, he was using his two hands to encode his formation, which was rarely seen among professionals in this field.

And with this, it did not take long for some people to realize that Lothur was not as simple as they imagined!
