The Lancer and Warrior Savant sighed as they knew that losing their caster and summoner created a fairly overwhelming disadvantage for themselves.
Surely, Grand Headmistress Yuan could surely bring out a heck lot of Savants for Jin to fight and complement the Lancer and Warrior Savant. However, dealing with four was more than enough for a showcase or else it would be an eternity especially since Jin seemed like he was more than capable of handling not just four but a dozen Savants too.
That was why both the Lancer and Warrior Savant decided to drop their weapons, indicating a sign to surrender rather than the usual fight to the death. The audience could also see further fighting only showcase the ability of Jin's sword menace and not any other things. Whatever that Jin wished to show had already been wide open as the fake Grade 4.
Besides, there was grace in surrendering since they both knew the inevitable when Jin entered battle with only the two of them. If there was only one, he might take it easy. But it's a different story if there are two Savants that he has to fight against with.
The audience was also satisfied with the combat exhibition showcase, and to see the Lancer and Warrior 'Demon Exorcists' had decided to lay down their arms, they started clapping to show appreciation for the showcase. Even JODE Chancellor Ma Ge was delighted by the outcome of this particular exhibition showcase.
The only one who might not be happy would most probably be the Wyrm Summoner as he was barely able to do anything when the time came for him to shine. He had no idea that Jin was able to eliminate him so quickly and the only thing that he could think of was that Jin considered him such a threat that he needed to be dealt with instantly.
That was the only consolation he could have upon admitting his defeat from Jin. If he had known that he would be the first to be eliminated, the Wyrm Summoner Savant would probably have called out its largest and biggest Wyrm into the picture, at least showing the ferocity of his pet beast to everyone before dying such a quick death.
As for the fake Grade 4 Demon Exorcist, instead of a cool pose, Jin squats down for a moment before sitting on the ground while staring at the school instance's clear blue skies. He nearly wanted to remove his mask but his instinct to protect his identity was stronger than his urge for comfort.
Meanwhile, the Warrior and Lancer Savant came towards Jin and extended their hands to him. They knew that showing camaraderie between duellists was the plus point that the audience and reporters could support.
Jin knew that as well and shook their hands for 'marketing' purposes and it did result in a louder applause from the public. The emcee for the showcase eventually told everyone that this was the end of the tour and they were welcome to enjoy the booths that had been placed along the class corridors.
At first, the audience was clueless mainly due to the fact that the last time they toured the school instance, there were no booths of any sort. That was why when everyone had that clueless face on them, Claire had decided to interject and stated that the booths had been setup during the combat exhibition showcase.
"Tell the master about this situation, he will surely inform me when the time is right. Also, do not tell me to train all of you individually. I do not have such the time. And to emphasise, I do not do this for free!"
"Yes, Master! We know that your time is precious. We will compensate you accordingly." The Demon Exorcist representative said but then just as Jin thought he had took control of the situation nicely, someone sinister came in to interrupt.
And sadly, that was the most obvious response since there were audiences who saw the Demon Exorcist commandos kowtowing but when they tried to take a picture, their image came out blur, only to realise the stadium's barrier was still there. (When in fact, the System purposely blurred the barrier so that they were not able to take any videos or pictures.
Only word of mouth and gossip were available but such gossip was baseless considering only a few people witnessed it.
Yet, the one person who should not have witnessed it, saw everything. JODE Chancellor Ma Ge was extremely furious when he came down to the arena to see those Demon Exorcist Commandos kneeling in front of Jin.
"To think that all the majority of resources that had been to all of you were for naught. If not for him, do you think you have the face to return to your bases?" Ma Ge said while emitting his chi. It was not as strong as some of the commandos, but it was still rather heavy due to the infusion of anger within it.
"All your budgets would be cut by half. One quarter of it would be used for dimensional instance training and that training can only be done at this dungeon supplier. Anywhere else, you fork out your own money. The other quarter of that half will be redirected to this school instance. Do I make myself clear?"
All of the Demon Exorcist Commandos stood up and saluted JODE Chancellor Ma Ge. Acknowledging not only him but also realising that they are the bringer of bad news to their home bases before the official reply comes in.
"Looks like I got more work cut out for me if that money really does come to me," Jin said to himself and the System was already calculating the amount of money each individual base had to make sure that it was enough for the training programme.
"It seems enough to make Dark Days Dungeon Series 3 and 4."
"Let me... clear the martial arts and sports competition first and later Series 2 before even thinking of 3 and 4..." Jin now regrets accepting so many things without understanding his capacity.
