Chapter 517 - I'll Participate In The Competition



"You what?!!!"

Arthur went next thing towards the big mansion of Mr. E. there he found many masters gathered, and the atmosphere and morale were very low without doubt.

"I want to participate in the competition with my team," Arthur restated his demands loud and clear while pointing to himself, "I caused this, brought all the destruction and losses to the academy. The least thing I do is to step forward and take the responsibility of this competition on behalf of the academy."

"The least thing you should do is go back and hide," Mr. E said with a shocking look over his face, "they have assassins from higher realms. No one stood a chance against them, even if the academy dean was here he wouldn\'t be able to do a thing against them either."

"I know."

"If so why then being so stubborn and mindless like having a death wish?!!"

"It\'s not being suicidal," Arthur shook his head firmly before adding, "I know what I\'m doing."

"Kid," one of the masters standing here spoke up, "it\'s my first time seeing you despite hearing a lot about. You should heed Mr. E advice. The competition means nothing now for the future offsprings of the academy like yourself."

Arthu glanced at this man. He was bald with sharp eyes and fierce look. "Thanks master for his consideration," Arthur said before calmly saying, "but this is a personal feud between me and them. I have to show up and win this thing, not only for me but for others."

"Don\'t be childish," another master said, "you should at least understand how risky it\'s to go there."

"I know my odds," Arthur simply answered, "and I won\'t die this easily on anyone\'s hands."

"Does that venerable master propose to aid you?" The look over Mr. E\'s face showed how desperate he was.

And Arthur had to lie at this moment. "He does," simply by saying that, the look over Mr. E\'s face showed how relaxed he became.

"If so then no worry for you."

"E, he is a kid! He can\'t face them!" another master spoke, someone that wasn\'t too much older than Mr. E and seemed to have a good relationship with him.

"Don\'t worry, G, he has the backing of a venerable master like us," Mr. E said before adding, "that makes one master here to defend the academy and one master there to protect him and others."

"Others?! What others?!!" Mr. G hurried to speak with a shocking look over his face. "You must have lost your mind to think about that!"

"As long as the master of his is there, no harm will touch any of them," Mr. E said, before turning towards Arthur as he added, "Willy, can you speak to your master on our behalf and ask to extend his protection with the surviving teams of the academy?"

Arthur didn\'t know this little lie would go this far. "Sure," he simply had to go along his lie to the end, "leave this issue to me."

"Good," Mr. E heaved a long sigh of relief before turning around to add, "go back and continue your tasks. The academy was hit, but it still is striving. Also prepare the teams to move out, we\'ll go on the road in three days max."

"But…" Slone spoke up, but the look of his master silenced him and others as well.

"I hope you know what you are doing."

"Foolish kid."

"Just learn how to lay low from time to time."

These and other remarks came softly when others were exiting the hall. Arthur stood in the wide hall alone, as his team members were asked to leave politely by Mr. E.

"I know you were lying out there," Mr. E sighed.

"Why did you go along with my lie then?" Arthur helplessly smiled, as he couldn\'t get away with his lie in front of this man.

"It\'s not only me," Mr. E sighed, "everyone here must have felt your lie."

"Impressive," Arthur honestly remarked, "why then no one said anything?"

"I supported you, and that\'s enough for them," Mr. E said before seriously adding, "besides I intend to turn this lie into a truth."

"How?" Arthur was curious to know what was in Mr. E\'s mind.

"I have this item," he waved his hand simply and a strange mirror appeared next. It was a giant one that even broke the ceiling the moment it appeared. "Don\'t mind it, it\'s quite berserk as it came from another world."

"A higher realm?" Arthur asked.

"Indeed," Mr. E nodded, "it came from the venerable master that hails from an old clan up there."

"Why not ask him to help us more?" Arthur asked, "like asking his friends and family members to give hand."

"He can\'t do that," Mr. E shook his head, "his clan was long ago destroyed and he is now considered a rogue master up there."

"He is alone then," Arthur helplessly sighed before pointing to the mirror as he asked, "how can this thing connect me with my master?"

"It\'s simply a trans universal connection tool," Mr. E explained, "all you need to do is to use something to trigger the connection with your master."

"Like my pillar?" he asked.

"Something like that indeed," Mr. E nodded, "but the thing you\'ll use each time will be ruined by the mirror. So don\'t put high hopes in getting it back."

Arthur smiled in silence as he already had a huge pile of pillars inside his garden. "I\'ll take it then," he said.

"Wait," Mr. E stopped him, "you should use the pillar here."

"Afraid I\'ll take it away?" Arthur laughed.

"You are my son-in-law," Mr. E nodded, "as your grandmaster and father-in-law, I have to be prepared for your greed."

"I\'m not greedy."

"Yes you are, as I\'m and my daughter-in-law is," the moment he said that, his face changed abruptly and went into heavy silence.

"Don\'t worry," Arthur said, while pointing to himself, "I plan not to let my future girl be lost like this."
