บท 80: True Competition

"This is amazing!" Goran exclaimed in elation. "Where is Guy?" He said while jumping up from his seat.

"He's in a village a few days away from the city," Al answered.

"That's great! I'll invite him over!" Goran declared as he began to walk out. But he was quickly stopped by Al.

"No, don't!"

"Huh? Why?"

Al wore a serious expression and suggested, "I think it would be better if we went to him."

Goran frowned, "And why is that?"

'*sigh* I hope he isn't one of those arrogant and conceited teachers who let their success go to their heads...' Goran muttered internally. However, Al's response completely surprised him,

With a bitter smile, Al elaborated, "You should already know by now just how fond of Guy I am. But haven't you wondered why I didn't actively seek to keep him here in the academy? It's because I don't want him here!"

Goran's eyes widened in disbelief.
