Chapter 278 Link, The Menace... Part-1.

Waiting area: infirmary.

Rio slowly sat up, opened his eyes, and noticed Lia dozing off on a chair with her head resting on his bed.

He sighed as he looked at his hand, which Lia was holding firmly.

'Now I feel guilty for making her stay beside me... ugh...'

As if sensing Rio's movements, Lia opened her eyes sluggishly and rubbed them a bit.

*yaaawwwnnn~*

She stretched out her hand and yawned.

"You are finally awake... You really sleep a lot; even I ended up falling asleep after seeing your sleeping face..."

Lia seemed to be dodging Rio's eyes, as if she were trying to hide something.

(She was actually staring at Rio's face all along and only pretended to sleep after she noticed that he was about to wake up...)

Rio was unconscious, so he didn't notice anything, and even if he had, he wouldn't blow Lia's cover, as he doesn't want to make her angry.

Lia brought out a shirt from her space ring and handed it over to Rio.

"Here, take it... Your shirt got torn during the fight, right?"

Rio glanced down and noticed that he was shirtless and his muscles were on full display, so he took the shirt and wore it without hesitation.

A smile appeared on Lia's face after seeing that Rio accepted that gift from her.

She was having difficulty deciding how to give the gift to him, so this was the golden opportunity that she had been waiting for.

Although the shirt had many cute bunnies printed on it, Rio didn't care about that at all; anything from her was good.

What surprised him more was that the shirt fit him perfectly, as if it were made according to his size from the start.

Usually he wears loose clothing because he feels comfortable moving around; he rarely wears clothes that fit him so perfectly.

'Huh... how does she know what will fit me? I don't remember her taking measurements...'

Before Rio could delve further into that topic, Lia spoke.

"By the way, it's already afternoon; Link and Vanya's match will be happening soon!"

Rio glanced at the clock hanging on the nearby wall and noticed that quite a few hours had gone by since his battle with Liam.

"Yeah... Let's watch it together while sitting in the cafeteria!"

Lia seemed quite excited about that match.

After all, the one who wins this match will fight Rio in the finals tomorrow.

Although Lia got eliminated from the tournament, she was still concerned about Rio and wanted to see how far Rio would go in this tournament.

Upon hearing Lia's enthusiastic voice, Rio nodded his head in agreement.

"Yeah, let's move to the cafeteria; I feel hungry too.'

Before Rio could complete his sentence, the white curtain that was separating Rio's patient bed from the bed on the right side was pushed away in a hurry, and a familiar person appeared.

"I just heard you say about the cafeteria! I want to go too!!"

Ellie appeared with an excited look on her face. As if stars were shining in her eyes, she seemed to be looking forward to eating a lot of delicious food.

Before Rio and Lia could say anything else, the patient on the bed sat up and spoke in a grumpy voice.

"Ugh, why are you guys shouting so much... Let me sleep a bit!"

Of course, it was none other than Liam who was having difficulty sleeping because of how loudly everyone was talking right beside him.

As if he could sense that Riya was in some kind of danger, Link just couldn't sit still.

His intuition was screaming wildly at him; it was telling him to just leave this place and look for Riya at any cost!

When it comes to Riya's safety, Link's intuition has always been very accurate.

He wanted to punch the main gate and rush out of the waiting area instantly, but that was against the rules of the tournament.

Link will get eliminated if he leaves the waiting area without permission from SS-rankers.

He had tried asking his father for permission via smartphone, but Ashtel denied his request and didn't even listen to him at all.

Link has been suppressing his anxiety and anger for five days now! And hearing the guard's words, Link couldn't help but look at them in resentment.

All five of the guards felt their legs go weak in fear under Link's insane pressure.

Although they are all A-rankers, none of them is confident that they can withstand a single punch from Link.

Just standing there quietly, Link was already making them feel intimidated to the point of falling unconscious.

But the guards didn't back off either. They had a duty to stop anyone who dared leave the tournament area, and they weren't going to neglect their duty at any cost.

Elves are diligent people; they take their duties seriously, and making them back away from their duties is very difficult.

If Link wanted, none of those five A-rankers could stop him from rushing out, but Link dared not do such a thing.

First and foremost, his father will scold him if he does such a thing; furthermore, Riya is in training right now, and it would be a bad idea to hinder her training.

Thus, Link dared not take the next step.

He only vented his anger a bit and left with an anxious look on his face.

(That's how the real Link used to be: insanely strong and uncontrollable when he gets angry... worrying about Riya reverted him back to his real form...)

While walking towards the arena, a murderous aura appeared around Link.

'I swear... If anything happens to her, I will slaughter the entire Elven empire in the future and use the heads of the Elven people as footballs!

(He's not even joking, actually; he will do exactly this if something really happens to Riya... don't forget that even the protagonist only won against Link due to massive plot armor; others don't stand a chance against him...)

When Link clenched his fist in sheer anger, the space-time fabric trembled like crazy.

'Don't you dare let me find out what you guys did to her in the name of training... otherwise, I won't stop until I do the same thing to the whole elven race...'

Link's eyes were already a bit bloodshot from all that stress.

Anyone who passed by Link nearly fainted from the insane pressure he was emitting.

Link's face looked like he was ready to murder people at any moment.

Author's Notes.

Yo! It's your beloved author here! It's seems we will be able to see an angry Link soon enough.

Link hadn't gotten this angry since the day he started staying with Riya. So, seeing him in his true form is really rare...

Question of the day.

Do you also think that Link becomes a real menace when he gets angry?

1. Yeah... (bro nearly beat up those five innocent guards for no reason...)

2. Nope... (I think Rio might be the real menace if he gets angry...)
