Chapitre 354: Raven’s Blade Qualifiers: Finals!

"N-NO!!! MY MONEY!!!"

"N-No…T-This can't be happening! W-Where will I get the money to pay off my child's medical bills?! This has to be rigged!"

Cries of despair resounded one after the other as a sweating Mateo Flameheart materialized outside the stage, in utter disbelief that he actually lost to someone other than Shye Crowley.

For one whole year, he…was the king of rookies in Raven's Blade Balkrow Branch.

Now…he was merely third at best. 

Realizing this fact, his disbelieving and shocked expression turned listless as his pride shattered, prompting those who hated Mateo for a long time to gaze at him with undisguised schadenfreude.

This day was simply the best day of their lives!

Mateo wasn't an evil person, however, he wasn't exactly likable either as he was rather arrogant—just like all the rookies of his caliber.

Percy wanted to mock Mateo as the defeated rookie left the arena, broken and dejected.
