Chapter 155 Unexpected winners?

Chapter 155

After that incident, both Oliver and Evelyn were severely reprimanded by the old Sigfor, who made sure that they had it engraved into their brains that safety and tests were important before pulling any such stunts.

The stern lecture echoed in their minds, leaving a lasting impression.

And after getting some punishments, they moved on to the challenge winner being announced.

"So, the winner is..." A tense hush fell over the group, anticipation hanging in the air.

"So, all of you did some pretty great combinations, some even took it a 'step further' and did something even more 'amazing' too."

He jabbed and looked at the trio, Oliver, Evelyn, and lastly Daniel, who for some reason had a swollen face. The silent accusation in his gaze was unmistakable.

"Now, I am going to declare the winners. It's based solely on my judgment about various aspects of your elemental combinations and other stuff such as your level of synergy."

He said in a calm voice as he looked at the group.

"The winners are Amber and Alphonso."

His words came off as an unexpected announcement as everyone looked at him with surprise visible in their eyes, clearly not expecting the outcome—even the winners were confused and incredulous.

Amber looked at Alphonso, then back at Sigfor. She clearly did not expect them to win in the end.

But soon, the confusion was replaced by a smug expression as she flared up her chest high, clearly looking happy. Her triumphant grin spoke volumes of her satisfaction.

She glanced around only to see everyone looking confused except for him. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

Even after all this, his expression was one of utter uninterested, he did not seem to be bothered by the outcome at all, a bored expression in his eyes as he watched the scene.

His indifference was in clear contrast to the excitement around him

Alphonso became silent as he heard her words. He considered her advice, and it did make sense. He was probably being too concerned over such a trivial matter.

Her pragmatism cut through his doubts, grounding him.

At least they would be getting a reward now for being victorious in the challenge.

"You are right, haha. I am thinking too much," he apologized and looked back at the elder.

"You two, come and collect it afterwards in the evening. All of you are dismissed now."

Sigfor waved his hand and left the children after telling them to dismiss.

"Hah! That old bastard! I bet you both will get double training as a reward from him," Daniel scoffed the moment Sigfor left, his voice seeming muffled due to the beatings that made his cheeks swollen.

His swollen face twisted into a grimace as he spoke.

He hated the old man even more so now.

Nadia was calm. She was still looking at Oliver's back discreetly.

Her eyes held no trace of emotion as she recalled Sigfor's words.

'Pathetic.'

She thought when she heard him preach about danger and safety like a saint.

She knew all too well how many of his comrades he must have killed or sacrificed to have survived so far from the battlefields.

He had no right to tell them about it. She felt it was very pathetic and cowardly of that old man to even utter a word about safety standards.

Her disdain for him grew, solidifying her resolve to use that weapon that Oliver had displayed in some way or another.

She could not care less about a withering old man.
