Chapter 505: Aftermath Again

"Brother Richie!"

Adrian ran out of the shelter and toward me, accompanied by Melina. I nodded, still supported by Dong Fang Yue Chu. The earlier battle had consumed too much of my mana, and coupled with the severe injuries I had sustained, I wasn't able to walk on my own.

"Are you all right?!"

"Sensei!"

Both of my disciples were staring at me in concern, especially when they caught sight of my current state. I forced a smile.

"Yeah, I'm still alive, am I not?"

"WAAAAAH!"

Unexpectedly, it was Rossetti who made the most noise. The moment she emerged from the bunker, she burst into tears and started wailing.

"Why the heck are you crying?!" I demanded.

"But…but…" Rossetti sniffed as she wiped at her eyes. "We all thought you were dead! The opponent is the strongest member of Grimaldus, you know? It's a miracle that you survived a duel against him!"

"Hah!" Craig chortled. "You give Richie too little credit!"
