章 541: Strong

Khan's statement had been an obvious challenge. Some might find it insulting, but his choice of words had been precise and specific for the current situation.

Passing as weak wasn't an option. Khan wouldn't only lose face if he let those statements go. The Global Army would also have a problem since the Thilku wouldn't have a reason to take the matter too seriously.

Still, words were pointless, especially if spoken by Khan. He held no political relevance in that field, so fighting was his only option, and openly challenging a Thilku was bound to lead there.

Silence spread in the hall. Many weaker soldiers widened their eyes in shock, but the more experienced ones remained calm. The Headmistress and her fellow higher-ups even held back approving nods. They knew what Khan was up to and agreed to that path.
