In the canteen, Shiela was shocked at how monstrous this guy in eating. She looked at him and thought about how the food fits inside of his stomach, is there a logic behind this? Can someone explain it to me?
After eating, she also saw something weird about Tristan's contract beast because it doesn't look strong and small. It looks like a big iron ball.
Thinking of this, she frowned because how could this weak little guy be worthy of a future champion? For sure, it will drag him in a long term. Should I advise him?
But she didn't say it now, afraid to irritate this man and maybe because of this he will turn her invitation, for sure, the headmaster will really kill her if it happens.
If the system knows what she thoughts, it will say "Woman it's a Pokémon, you know nothing about its strength"
Then later, Tristan meets Jigo at his place and sends his regards before going away. Jigo was actually a little surprised when he heard that Tristan was going to be invited to university, he envied it a bit, of course, who would not envy when you get an opportunity to enter university?
But he has no negative thoughts about it, on contrary, he's actually happy and congratulated him. He said that Tristan was also part of the Black Region and as one of them, he must showcase his talents and not shame himself in other universities, Black Region's glory depends on him.
And that's actually true because even though his alliance membership had been marked down in Green Region, his hunter information had been located in Black Region. So, he had a double place of residency that had been written on his information.
And before Tristan and the others were going to leave, Jigo hurriedly call the food store owner to prepare food for travel, and when the latter heard it, he was surprised and immediately closed down his store. He knew Tristan, he was only his customer who made him stressed every time this guy comes in. But actually, he didn't hate him, even though this guy had a bad reputation here in this station, it's not comparable to the thug group who harassed others including him to pay for protection fees, and sometimes, Tristan is keeping them away from these stores and if he heard anyone dare to trouble, then that guy will be unlucky. So, he also liked this guy and not only paid enough amount even sometimes exceeding it, and when the invasion incident happened, he was also one of the groups who protected them as civilians.
(He's in Chapter 1)
So, he immediately prepared dozens of foods for free. And when Tristan found out, he immediately rejected it. He knew how hard it was to open a food store in this region, so how could he accept a dozen foods for free. Instead, he rejected it and paid triple the amount, causing the store owner to close the store for himself.
The store owner wanted to argue, but Tristan's action was beyond his expectations. Tristan said if he didn't want to accept it, he would make it four times, oh, that wasn't enough, then he would make it five times. Oh, You're still not satisfied, Okay, okay, make it double, 10 times!
The store owner, Jigo, and others who saw this were speechless. Tristan's action seemed to benefit others, but why did they want to punch him in the face? It seemed like a shameless move, but in a positive way.
The store owner was helpless and could only accept the three-time price.
Before leaving, Tristan also sent them a farewell and said, "Be careful on the way."
Then Tristan and the others appeared in Station 90 and bid farewell to Major Anderson. He also gave them a small bag of gifts containing energy stones and then patted their shoulders.
A few minutes later, Tristan, Shiela, Gato, and Ted rode Flyghtning and flew away.
…
Blue Region
Skyfall Heroes University
At the headmaster's main office.
"I thought we already had an agreement with this? The last ticket was supposed to be given to Carlo. Why did you change your mind now?" A middle-aged man with a mustache said aggrievedly, looking at the old headmaster in front of him.
"Mr. Baker, first of all, we didn't make an actual agreement. It was just a verbal agreement, and there's still time to think about it. And now, I've made a final decision, and we've decided not to accept it," the headmaster shook his head and said calmly, but his palms were actually sweating profusely. He knew he had made a big gamble by convincing others to agree with him.
"What about the others? Or is this just your own decision?" Mr. Baker asked.
"I've already convinced them to agree with me," the headmaster said.
"So, it's really you! Headmaster, do you know what you're doing right now? You're crazy! I and the other staff of the team have already released a piece of news about Carlo joining your university and now you're saying it's not happening? What will the people and netizens think after hearing it? What will the other universities think? That Carlo wasn't qualified enough to join your university? Headmaster, you're destroying our reputation, not just our reputation but also his reputation and our investment! Headmaster, I'll say this right now, if you reject this, don't ever think about the investment again!" Mr. Baker gritted his teeth, looking angrily at the headmaster. In his mind, he didn't know how many times he wanted to strangle this old guy.
"I'm well aware of that and I can only say it's my fault. I'll apologize to Mr. Carlo and compensate him, but I will not change my decision," the headmaster said firmly.
"Compensate? Do you think we're lacking anything? Headmaster, I'll tell you now, you'll be losing everything. You'll regret it! The family will not let this go, you'll pay for your actions and your university will be ruined. The Skyfall Heroes will…" Mr. Baker shouted, but he didn't finish his sentence because.
BOOM!
There was a strong gust of wind surrounding him and a power pushing him down to the ground, making him kneel on one knee.
Elite Domain!
It was the power of the elements that only elite individuals above a certain level can control.
Mr. Baker became nervous, he had forgotten that the man he was talking to was an old Elite, similar to the Elders of their family.
"Huh… Huh…"
He was panting and his face was still sweating, but it only lasted for a few seconds before stopping.
"Don't worry about it, Mr. Baker. SHU will not be ruined, as you thought, but the opposite, it will flourish and rise back to its own throne," the headmaster said, sitting down as if nothing had happened.
"Huh... Huh..." Mr. Baker calmed himself down and stood up, looking warily at the headmaster.
"Headmaster, I've lost your respect. Please forgive me!" He immediately bowed his head and said.
"Don't worry about it. I knew your second son was an alumnus here, and your youngest daughter is currently here. Maybe you're just overthinking and misunderstanding something. I understand it," the headmaster said in a calm and understanding tone.
"Yes, yes, Headmaster. I'm just concerned. Please forgive my previous actions," Mr. Baker said, forcing a smile and agreeing.
"But..." He wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
"You can say it," the headmaster prompted.
"Is there really no way?" Mr. Baker asked, sounding uncertain.
"You can try for an assessment, and we'll make a decision," The headmaster said.
Mr. Baker sneered to himself, he knew the headmaster was just making excuses.
"Can it not be changed?" he asked.
"No," the headmaster replied.
"Can you tell me who the replacement is?"
The headmaster stopped and looked at him. Pretending to be ignorant, he asked, "What do you mean? We haven't made a final decision yet."
You've rejected Carlo but you're saying it's not a final decision yet and now you're pretending to be ignorant. Are you taking me for a fool? It's obvious there's a replacement.
"I see, I'll be going now," Mr. Baker said, determined to find out who made the headmaster reject Carlo.
"Okay, take care," the headmaster said, remaining seated and lost in thought.
A few minutes later, the headmaster thought to himself, "I made a gamble, and I hope it's worth it," as he let out a sigh and lay back, staring up at the ceiling.
Outside of the university, Mr. Baker clicked a button on his phone and made a call.
"[Uncle, how's it going?]" Carlo asked, his voice filled with anticipation.
"They refused," Mr. Baker replied, his tone somber.
"[What? How? Why? Is there something going on? Why did they change their mind?]" Carlo's voice was filled with shock and disbelief.
"That's what I want to know, why did they change their mind? I suspect they may have found a replacement," Mr. Baker said, his mind filled with suspicions.
"[A replacement for someone like me? Are they blind? Is there someone worth more than me? Who is it? I want to know who it is... who dares to do this? Is it because of my rival? Goddammit! Iris will only be mine!]" Carlo's voice was filled with anger and determination.
"I don't know, could you please calm down? It's just a woman, you can find many women here. Why are you so persistent with this one? Is it worth it?" Mr. Baker shook his head, not understanding the mentality of his nephew. It seemed that Carlo had become obsessed with this woman since the day he met her. He just hoped that this rejection wouldn't drive him over the edge.
[Uncle, you don't understand. Iris is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. She's my goddess. I want her to be mine. Anyone who dares to obstruct me will die]
Mr. Baker only sighed with this young man and said: "But they already refused you, I tell you, Carlo, is it worth it for you to do this? UGCK is inviting you, and BDU also inviting you, there are many schools that are interested in you other than SHU, now I asked you, is it worth it for this university?"
Carlo on the phone stopped speaking.
"We already lose this one, the investment was wasted, and they are persistent to reject you, so, how could you do it? And you can also meet that woman in the competition even if you're in a different school"
Carlo still didn't speak.
"If you're still forcing it this time, I cannot help you. So, pick…Woman or University, which one will you choose?"
[Uncle, can you help me one last time]
"Tell me first" Mr. Baker is actually afraid this kid's mind will go crazy again, he's afraid they will waste money again and if the elder found it, there's no doubt, he will be criticized.
[If they're really persistent then can you release news, a piece of big news about this? I want them to be pressured and concede. If they're still stubborn, they I can't do anything about it.]
"If it's for this, then I can help you" Mr. Baker also wanted to do this because they made them lose money, of course, it's not fair if only their company reputation will be lost, they (SHU) must be included.
A few days later…
A piece of shocking news appeared in the entire Blue region and it even appeared in the other region.
[The Blue Region Individual Champion of the Contest 'Carlo Baker' was rejected by the Skyfall Heroes University, Is there a conspiracy?]
[Many S-Class, A-Class, and even B-Class universities want to use S-Ticket to this Individual Champion Carlo Baker but he rejected it all and wants to join SHU, but SHU rejected it. Do they have brain damage?]
[The SHU move of giving a wedding dress to others really shocked thousands of people?]
[People in Station 94, Kemusk City had called a protest in front of the SHU saying "Please Bring Back Baker!", "Carlo Baker is the hope!" "Oust Headmaster Kenile!", "Kenile was unworthy of his position!" "Kenile was blind!"]
[Black Dragon University released the news if SHU can't appreciate Carlo, the latter will always be welcome by them and will not hesitate to use S-Ticket]
[University of Glorious Knight College also….]
[Tower of the Rising Youth College also…]
[Grand Resolution Institute of Warriors from Green region also…]
[Grand Royal University from Gold Region also…]
…
The situation of SHU became embarrassing, they also became a hot potato in the news.
There are also some rumors spreading among all the students here but of course, they didn't let the Headmaster know it and only hidden.
There were also dozens of calls coming from people outside the school, alumni, and others in the headmaster's office and some instructor released their worries about the situation.
Kenile didn't speak and said nothing.
He was just waiting for someone then the phone rang.
"Shiela, what happened now?"
[He broke through Expert! Headmaster, he broke through!]
Guh…
Kenile forced himself to calm down but you can still see some thrilled of excitement on his face.
"His strength?"
[I don't know but maybe a peak (M) or maybe (L), I don't dare to make a scene here, afraid someone here will notice us]
"Good, that's good, you made a good job, you're right, you must be low-key until you come back" Kenile sighed in relief and said.
"By the way, where are you now?" He added.
[We're in his hometown now in Zetrino]
"What!! Why are you in that place, you didn't go to Vermin?"
[He requested it for me, I can't reject it]
He can hear her helpless voice on the phone.
"Are you with him now?" Kenile was really worried now, afraid that Tristan will change his mind and join other universities. If that happens, he will lose a lot. He already has a ton of pressure coming from the news that only been released a few days ago.
[No, he said he's visiting someone, I think it's his siblings. I don't want to disturb him so I didn't follow]
"Shiela, you bastard! You know what heck are you thinking!" Kenile cursed her on the phone. What the heck did she think about, why you didn't follow him? If he really runs away, I'm afraid, I can only step back here.
[Headmaster, don't worry, I trusted his character. As long as he said it, he will do it. Don't worry, just sit on your chair and drink tea]
Don't worry your ass! The way you said that makes me more worried about the situation.
Kenile was helpless and only sighed and said "Okay, okay, I'm tired, please hurry and come back already"
[I said headmaster you don't need to worry, just chill, I got this!]
Che… I hope it's really like what you said.
After a few minutes of chatting, he hung up the call.
