Chapter 17

Of course, the debate over the level of this battle was even more intense. Some people thought that Amelia had great talent but absolutely no combat experience; her moves were rigid, and a little girl like her was simply not suited to be an assassin. With such good abilities, why not become an esper instead of insisting on getting involved in the most dangerous world of assassins?

It wasn’t until the appearance of an analysis video that the entire discussion forum reached another climax.

The captain of the Wild Beast Team from the Heroic Soul Academy in Capofir City, the explosive bear goddess Laura, was a renowned figure even within the Free Federation. A second-year student, specially recruited, she formed the Wild Beast Team in her first year and achieved excellent results. She possessed the soul beast Golas Explosive Bear with innate flame abilities—a bug-like existence, ranking among the younger generation. Most importantly, she was also a super sexy beauty!!!

Chapter 13 Amelia Wants to Stay Over

Laura watched the entire battle. To be honest, after the last match, she had looked into the situation of the “King of Verbal Sparring.” She had never seen such a bizarre case before and even thought it might have been a fluke—an outburst of inner potential?

However, after this match, she was certain: this King of Verbal Sparring was extremely, extremely terrifying.

Everyone was distracted by the Fire Dance Lotus. Admittedly, Amelia’s weapon had issues, but the power of Fire Dance Lotus was not weak. Even the incomplete fiery blades formed by this combat technique were quite lethal. Yet, from start to finish, he defended with the bare minimum of soul power, as if he was completely sure his opponent couldn’t hit him.

In the slow-motion analysis, his dodging trajectory and frequency changes were highlighted.

This time, the people in the forum fell silent—Shadow-Stepping Footwork!

Only those with overwhelming confidence, who could see through their opponents completely, dared to use such footwork. In other words, there was no way Amelia could ever land a hit; her moves had been completely seen through.

There’s a kind of gap called “looking down from above”!

Laura turned off her SkyComm; she wasn’t interested in the noisy chatter that followed. She glanced at Arnold and Arnold Thornton behind her. “If you two still think you can easily defeat him, then the dignity of our Wild Beast Team is in danger.”

This guy was really interesting. How to put it—his technique was good, but his heart was too soft. He couldn’t bear to strike hard when his opponent was a girl. That was a big flaw, and in many situations, it could be fatal.

Of course, Laura didn’t need to point these things out.

At this moment, in a faculty building of the Tianjing Rune Branch.

Dean Moore brought a cup of hot tea to Amelia, who was still immersed in her disappointment. “Little girl, why are you so down? Because of a single defeat? No, you should actually be happy.”

“Grandpa Moore, am I not suited for the assassin path?”

Moore smiled. “That’s something you should ask yourself. No one can decide another person’s life. But there’s one thing your opponent said that I agree with: you should have your own pair of weapons. The rune sword is too long.”

Amelia was slightly stunned. “Is it okay to lose?”

“Silly child, Grandpa just understands your situation. One win or loss means nothing. If you can learn something from the battle, that’s even more worth celebrating.”

“Thank you, Grandpa, I understand now!” With that, Amelia bowed and dashed off.

Moore couldn’t help but shake his head. Young people these days are really full of energy—stormy and unpredictable. He had originally planned to craft a pair of rune swords for Amelia, but now it seemed that daggers would suit her better.

After the fight with Amelia ended, John Carter did his usual physical training. The more he performed like this, the more he realized the importance of physical strength. Soul power was undoubtedly valued by everyone, but without a body strong enough to bear it, it would always be a flaw.

That girl Amelia had grown up too. She had even mastered such a terrifying combat technique. With more training, she would definitely become a renowned expert.

Ever since his awakening, John Carter’s appetite had grown tremendously, and his hunger was extraordinary. After buying food and returning to the dorm, he found someone waiting at the door.

“Amelia, what are you doing here?” John Carter asked curiously.

Amelia was holding a big bottle of liquor in her arms. “John Carter gege, come on, today Amelia is really happy. Let’s drink and celebrate together!”

John Carter glanced at Amelia and took the bottle from her. “I’ll keep this for you. Kids shouldn’t drink!”

This girl was really rebelling. Of course, John Carter more or less understood the problem. With such talent, after experiencing a defeat, she was bound to feel conflicted inside.

“Tch, old stick-in-the-mud! If you won’t drink with me, I’ll go find someone on the street to drink with!”

Amelia wrinkled her little nose as she spoke.

Amelia didn’t stand on ceremony either; she was hungry too. Heroic Soul warriors consumed a lot of energy—the stronger they were, the more they needed to replenish—so basically, they were all foodies.

John Carter didn’t eat much; most of it was eaten by Amelia. As she ate and drank, Amelia seemed to open up, pouring out everything that had happened to her today.

“John Carter gege, do you remember when we first met two years ago? That was when I was at my lowest. It was your words that gave me confidence and made me who I am today!” Amelia said.
