Chapter 30: Celebration

"Here is his, the capable one! Landon and Thane only made empty acknowledgments of themselves.""Max Fury is the Capable One. HUHU!"

The commentators did their job at the announce table, watching Arnold roam victoriously around the ring.

The usual "You are Awesome" chorus from the fans echoed loudly, making Arnold feel on top of the world.

"I'm the capable one. Oh yeah!" Arnold shouted, smiling as he stood tall on the top of the turnbuckle in one corner.

He watched Thane Ryder staggered out of the arena clutching his private device. That arrogance and pride in him seemed to have vanished without a trace.

As a reaction, Arnold smiled widely and returned his attention to the congregation. He continued his celebration and cheered back to the fans.

"Aww, he is really taking the spotlight at the starts. Oh my God, I can't believe it!" A beautiful feminine figure with pale skin and flam-colored hair shouted excitedly as she sat on a bed and watched the TV.

The scar on her face did more harm than good, adding to her charming beauty.

After not hearing from Arnold after the meetup at the cafeteria, Mia had been following him on TV and videos after hearing that he actually passed his exams.

"Why are you so excited about him? Are you his girlfriend or something?" Another young lady with ivory skin and black long hair asked with a slight frown, furrowing her brows against Mia.

"Err... No, I'm not. I... I just like his style of fighting," Mia lied and turned to face the black-haired lady. "Mind you, aren't you surprised with his performance? He is just a newbie who had just earned himself a title title opportunity!"

The lady flinched.

"Was it supposed to be our business? You also have a career to pursue, Mia. You be thinking of doing better than him instead of cheering around like a drunk gal," she spoke.

Mia's face suddenly turned dark in an instant.

"Alright, it's fine, Khloe. It has always been a bad idea watching Max Fury's match with you," Mia said angrily.

"Of course, you know. We will just switch on to Rampage Live. Grindhouse Wrestling is just too petty for my liking," Khloe scoffed, grabbed the remote, and switched to a different channel.

Mia's face remained dark after her roommate's harsh utterance, but she decided to control her actions and just lie on the bed.

Thinking of Arnold for a considerable moment, he didn't even know when she slept off. After all, it was nighttime... Many students spent time watching "Live" wrestling matches on TV.

Arnold hummed softly as he made his way through the alleyway, walking to his room.

Just as he had expected, Mark and Lila were already hanging around at the boarding area, waiting for him. Spotting him from afar, Lila rushed to him with a smile on her face.

"Congratulations, Fury. I'm so happy for ya."

Arnold smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Lila."

"Another victory yet again!" Mark who didn't approach him whispered from the near distance.

"It all happened like a drama! I just still find it hard to believe it!" Arnold replied with yet a grin.

They both exchanged a stylish handshake as they got close to each other.

Arnold could sense the sincere happiness from Mark and Lila for his unbelievable victory. Lila was blushing repeatedly as he looked at him, when their eyes clashed, she would curl her lips.

"I wish you yet, another victory in the championship match. I believe you can do it, bro," Mark spoke as they walked toward his room.

Although their room was quite distant from Arnold's, they usually spent time with him in their free time after workouts or even during normal periods.

"Thank you, guys. I really appreciate every good wishes. Thank you," Arnold thanked.

After he had freshened up, they left the boarding area for the bar to celebrate. The joy of receiving another $1600 added to Arnold's excitement, feeling on top of the world.

Social media was buzzing after the awesome fatal five-way battle. Max Fury was the main talk of the netizens, and the video of the diving from the top turnbuckle against his opponents went viral.

His unexpected defense that led to Thane's misery and his incredible Neckbuster finish wasn't left aside.

He didn't remember to check his pages after returning from the arena, but it was clear it would have been buzzing right now.

Right now, Arnold just wanted to celebrate and drink hard. No, it wasn't as if he takes too much alcohol, he liked red wine with a little portion of it.

[Hey!]

Arnold and his friends were walking to the nearby bar when his Advocate called.

'Hey,' with a smile, he replied.

[Congratulations.]

Arnold felt an unexplainable feeling in his heart.

'Thank you... My helper,' Arnold muttered almost emotionally.

[Don't mention. You are still at the bottom of your career. There are still many battles to win.]

Arnold smiled. 'I know, but...'

[You have to start seeing yourself as a great fighter. A wonder wrestler. You shouldn't act like the Max Fury your university mates knew.]

[Now, you are a different person. A better person. A stronger person.]

Arnold nodded.

[You have one thing to do now which you know. You have to prepare hard for the championship match. You and I know that it isn't going to be easy.]

[It never will.]

[Later on, I'll give you new tips on how to improve your Attributes. I'll also grant you a clear license to new common moves. Then, you would be free to master Sorrowful Kiss.]

'Thank you,' Arnold nodded.

[You have gained 11 points to your Intelligence, congratulations.]

Arnold rejoiced and entered the jar with his friends. Erasing everything that could clash against his good feelings, Arnold made sure he enjoyed himself to the fullest.

Not only did his friends celebrate with him, but some superstars who admired his incredible performance also joined the group as they cheered for him.

While the celebration went on, Arnold's phone beeped for a message notification. He quickly brought it out of his pocket and read. seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
