Chapter 124: I’m Stupid

Alec Ward frowned as he looked at Janrose's figure. His position as the top contender in the competition has become uncertain because of that young lady. As a spy of the Northern Viper Group, he was tasked to perform well in the battle event. His pride wouldn't allow him to be satisfied with just getting into the top five. Besides, he had already promised his direct superior that he would get the championship. It would be embarrassing for him if he fails to obtain the top spot. 

'Janrose... I won't allow you to win even if I have to use drastic measures!' He muttered coldly in his heart.

Janrose smiled at the spectators and waved her hands at them. She could feel the support of the crowd and this made her feel happy. However, she knew that this was only possible because of her teacher. 'Too bad you are not here to see me win...' She muttered. 

Suddenly, a group of nobles blocked her path, preventing her from returning to the contestants' resting area.
