Chapter 86: A Plan? (1/2)

”You bastard!” Scott clenched his fists and stepped forward, raising his voice.

However, Theo ignored everything he said and walked toward his spear, passing them as if nothing happened.

When Scott was about to blow up after Theo passed him, Hontar grabbed his arm, preventing him from moving while glaring at Scott.

In an instant, there was fear in Scott's eyes as he shut his mouth and cursed Theo in his mind. This action became another point of observation for Theo, considering he had the chance to pick up the next member.

While Theo grabbed his spear, Alea furrowed her eyebrows, never expecting Theo to have this kind of side. When he was with her, Theo was passive-aggressive since she allowed it. But this time, Theo was full of anger, trying to piss this Scott off.

'A promise is a promise. It seems he has a lot of frustration since he has been in this situation for a long time.' Alea sighed inwardly as she sensed Hontar's gaze aiming at her.

He must be thinking about the reason Alea would pick a first-year, this kind of first-year. Either way, he didn't have the intention to back down in this matter. He whispered to Scott, ”You handle that Theodore Griffith first. As long as we can get Alea, we will have a high possibility of winning.”

Scott stayed silent, but his murderous gaze alone already told him the answer.

On the contrary, Alea couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment. She never thought that someone among the top would choose this type of guy as his partner.

He seemed to be strong, so she could also understand the circumstances since it was also the reason why she recruited Theo.

Still, she would rather choose a second or third place with good character instead of an easy one like this. But there was also another question in her head after working together with Theo for a month. She remembered Theo was a bit more submissive, letting the others talk down on him to make them underestimate his power.

It was at that time he turned the situation around, exchanging his role with the hunter. Hence, she never expected Theo to create this kind of chaotic situation.

After grabbing his spear, Theo returned to his position and made a mocking smile, saying, ”Hehe? What did you say again? How about going into politics? I'm sure your words are effective in destroying your opponents. Oh wait, you're a muscle brain since you can only try to hit the person after you lose in an argument.”

Scott wanted to hit this guy's face as soon as possible. If Hontar didn't hold him back, he would have charged at him from the start.

Theo snorted and returned to Alea while waving his hand. ”You can't touch me here, right?”

”It's funny to see that Alea Eilric will partner up with a scumbag.” Hontar couldn't let it slide and returned Theo's mockeries right back at his face.

However, Theo only shrugged and looked at Scott while saying, ”It's better than a gorilla.”

”You bastard!”

”Theo…” Alea decided to step in because she worried about his reputation.

Theo shrugged and said with a smile. ”It feels good to get back at your bullies after experiencing it for so long. I couldn't help it.”

”!!!” Alea widened her eyes, not because of the bullies, but it was due to Theo speaking his mind out loud. This had never happened to her, so she quickly realized Theo must be planning for something big. She assumed Theo would be showing his prowess in this battle, making the second opponents wary.

Still, Alea needed to say one thing. ”You don't have protection after this, you know. Your life is going to be much worse after this.”

”I am planning to win by relying on you. What's wrong with that?” Theo shrugged, acting like a scumbag while putting his hand on her shoulder with one finger lifted.

Alea frowned as if she got a signal from Theo. Although she didn't understand the whole meaning behind his words, she could safely assume that she needed to work harder to dominate the opponents in this round since that one finger meant she needed to fight alone.
