First Round

There's no way she would try to be the nice guy and take the fall. Xue Yiran opened her mouth, ready to refuse the homeroom teacher. Susu voice suddenly resounded inside her consciousness.

[Host, you shouldn't refuse him. I've just made a confirmation. The victory of this competition would be awarded with several beast cores. Although they are of lower ranks, they can still fit in between the teeth.]

Xue Yiran wasn't in need of beast cores of lower ranks. Ever since Creamery Creamer store had been launched into the physical world, a lot of cash has been entering the company account from day to day. If she so wishes, she could take out of it and buy several beast cores. But still, she agreed to Susu opinion.

"Is that a yes?" The homeroom teacher asked, when he saw that Xue Yiran hadn't show any hint of refusal to his request.

"Hmm." Nodding, Xue Yiran added, "I'll go."

A big relief suddenly came upon the heart of the tense students. Aviva on the other hand, also wore a relief expression on her face.

'She took the bait.'

"That's good." The mentor nodded happily. "Follow me to register your name among the participants."

Xue Yiran got up according to his order and follow behind him.

After registering her name as a substitute in place of the sick Zach, she finally became a contestant.

"I want you to show me how strong you're. Perhaps I might be hook." Louie who had already sighted her immediately came to her side and said in a whisper.

"I don't understand what you mean." Just like before, Xue Yiran put up a cold stance and ignored him.

"Ha-ha." Louie gave a light laugh. "Then how about I show you how strong I'm. I can detect the slight hint of curiosity in your eyes, so you don't have to pretend that you aren't curious."

Xue Yiran ear perk up at his words, but she didn't give a reply.

"I had better go up there. It would soon be my turn. Perhaps you'll be awe by my skills." After saying the last words, Louie walked away.

Xue Yiran looks at his leaving figure, with the intention of keeping an eye on him. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't interested in knowing how deep Louie's strength was.

Once it was his turn, Louie climbs up to the stage. Looks like his luck is quite a good one. He was paired up with a strong opponent at the first stage.

It was a female student from Roland academy. The girl had a look of disdain on her face when she saw that Louie was from a lower rank academy. How can such a person be worthy of her attention. Hence, she had already determined this round to be an easy win for her.

Louie turned to smile at Xue Yiran one last time, before finally focusing on the girl before him.

"Since you're a girl, I'll let you have the first move." Louie voice rang out, which was heard by everyone.

"What a douche. Trying to be a gentleman at this state."

"If you don't want to fight, then fucking get off the stage."

"Oh, he's handsome and gentlemanly. Just my type of guy."

The judges at the high podium, shook their head with dissatisfaction when they saw Louie battle approach. How can you give your opponent the first move in a fight. They immediately labeled Louie as a young blooded teenager who was trying to impress a girl.

"Really, then I won't hold back." The girl immediately summoned out her contract pet. It was a cub beast of an adult Deathstalker. Still the build of the cub beast was up to the height of a normal human.

Flexing its sharp pincers, the scorpion immediately dashes out in a vast speed towards Louie.

The audience immediately shut their eyes, fearing to watch the bloody situation that was about to take place.

In her consciousness, the young girl immediately orders her pet, "Try not to hurt him with your pincers, Hui. Just pin him to the ground."

Just as she relays her order, the girl suddenly felt a rush of cold breeze behind her.

Louie cold voice rang into her ear. "I don't know whether to say that you're stupid or not." Followed by the sentence, was the scene of the girl's body being flung out of the arena.

Thankfully, the paramedics reaction was fast enough. They were able to catch her in time. Since she didn't sustain any injuries, they placed her to the side to take a rest.

The girls' eyes still had a hint of disbelief in them.

'How did I lose? How did he suddenly appear behind me? His speed... is terrifying.'

The Deathstalker was forcefully recalled to her consciousness. This is due to the formation that was set up in the stage.

As long has the contestants do not pass the boundary line, the competition will continue as usual. However, if it was the contract beast who remains on the stage without its contractor, such situation is considered as defeat for the contractor.

"Wow, I thought he was just trying to look cool, but who would have expected that he has such a vast reaction."

"I couldn't see his figure move at all. Did you see it?"

"It's as if he disappeared in a flash and appeared behind the girl in an instant. It seems like teleportation. Is his contract beast a space beast. But aren't space beast extinct."

"Space beast your head. How can he contract with space beast. It just his fast response. Also, the girl who had competed with him is one of our weakest contestants." A student from Roland academy voice out.

"That's right. He tries to lower her guard by letting her make the first move and then, attack her from behind."

"Now that you say it, that seems to be the case."

"What a genius trick. I'm going to use it once it is my turn to go up the stage."

"Fool, do you think everyone wouldn't know. No one would fall into the same trick twice."

"Oh, you're quite right."

The judges were also stunned by Louie sudden speed. Looks like he's a talent worth grooming.

After being announced as the victory, Louie walked down the stage and approach Xue Yiran.

"So, what do you think? Stunned?"

"If that's what you want me to be awe at, then you had better work hard."

Louie was taken aback, not expecting Xue Yiran to reply. The other person has always been giving him the cold shoulder, which he was starting to get used to. Although her expression was still cold, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

[Liar.] Susu was starting to find Louie whole existence annoying. The fact that Louie was putting on a fake act really gets on his mood.

Even if all other people were blind, he could see that Louie was holding back on his strength.

What's his motive? Why does he keeps approaching his host?

He had already investigated on Louie background. Everything looks clear. Still, Susu didn't renege on his suspicion.

[Host, you should distance away from this guy. I don't trust him at all.]

'He's indeed strange.'
