Chapter 278 Link, The Menace... Part-1.
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.
Ellie ignored Liam\'s words and said it in an excited tone.
"Master! Let\'s go and eat a lot of delicious food! It will cheer you up too!"
Liam slowly got up from the bed and stretched his body a bit before nodding his head.
"Well, now that you guys have already caused me to wake up, I can\'t sleep again so fast… So let\'s go to the cafeteria together…"
Rio and Lia also nodded their heads and agreed to those words.
Before long, all four of them left the infirmary together.
While walking, Liam glanced at Rio\'s shirt and said it in an amused tone.
"Bruh… I didn\'t know you had a thing for cutesy things like that…"
Rio just shook his head and replied in his usual emotionless tone.
"Nah, Lia gave it to me; I usually wear random clothes… I have no fashion sense either…"
Liam nodded his head at those words.
He also agreed; he had seen Rio wear loose clothes with weird colors and designs on them. He already knew that Rio had no fashion sense at all.
Lia, on the other hand, is completely different from him; she has a great sense of style, chooses her clothes carefully, and even knows which hairstyle goes best with each outfit.
\'I have serious doubts about how this plain and boring guy rizzed up a girl like Lia…\'
Lia has many other talents aside from combat.
She can cook godly food, and she has amazing fashion sense. Her ability to gather information about others is also insanely good. (She literally stalked Rio for more than six months…)
However, unlike Lia, Rio lacks proficiency in household tasks. He barely has decent cooking skills, and he has no fashion sense. He lacks the ability to demonstrate proper care and is consistently devoid of emotion.
He literally seems like the most boring and plain guy; he isn\'t even half as handsome as Fade. That trash!
Basically speaking, aside from his fighting talent, Rio seems so ordinary that you can\'t find him in a crowd… No, you can\'t even find him in broad daylight! He\'s skilled at becoming invisible!
Liam couldn\'t help but think that Rio and Lia had so many huge differences between them that it was hard to think that the two were still in a happy relationship and weren\'t fighting each other over those differences.
Usually, couples fight over even the slightest differences.
If other couples had so many differences in interest and personality, their relationship wouldn\'t have lasted more than a few months.
And here, Rio and Lia are already ready to die for each other, as if they have lived a lifetime together.
Just when Liam was feeling a bit envious of Rio and Lia, Ellie suddenly held his hand and pressed her weapons against him.
An expectant smile appeared on her face.
"Master, I want to eat those unique elven dishes!"
Attacked by those special weapons, Liam couldn\'t think straight anymore, and he immediately agreed to her words. (She has really found his weakness! She\'s been exploiting this weakness a lot lately!)
…
Meanwhile, near the main gate of the stadium\'s waiting area,.
"Mr. Link, please try to understand; we are bound by duty! We can\'t allow you to leave now… Moreover, your match is scheduled for fifteen minutes! You should hurry back!"
Hearing the guard\'s words, Liam gritted his teeth and stomped the ground in sheer anger.
*boom!*
The floor cracked in an instant, and even the main gate rumbled a bit from the shockwave of that attack.
The guards stepped back in fear and dared not approach Link rashly.
Link was already at his wits\' end; for the past few days, he had been experiencing a strange feeling of constant worry.
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…)
