Chương 100: Chapter-99: Paul Starling's Challenge?
We all gather in front of the starting line. The race started after a few minutes.
We are taking this marathon race easily. Shikamaru said it is good to start slowly, and it is not necessary that we win, all we need to do is pass. Well, we all know that Shikamaru said that for slacking around. But if we seriously go for the race from the beginning, it will be overkill. It is not bad to show our strength but well there is no need to rush the things. We may gather the attention of our overpower strength, the enemy may get warned too early and started to make their preparation for us.
We start with the average running speed of Narutoverse but it is still making many of the participants fall far behind than us.
"Hey, Jin."
Someone called me. I looked at him.
"You are from Wrath Temple. We did face each other in the national tournament. But, sorry I forgot your name."
I said to the man who called me. By the way, back then it was the 5th strongest sect in the nation. I guess it is 4th now.
"It's Kento. Yes, we have met on the semi-final and we measurably lose to you guys."
"So, Kento... What about your sect?"
I asked him. I don't know his name but I remember he was saying, he will become the sect master. But it is not necessary to become a member of 12 rounds table to become a sect master as it does not make any change you are one or not, you cannot become a sect master even if you are the son of the current King, you need legacy and strength to become a sect master. In fact, sometimes doing this outer job/government job may become obstacle to becoming a sect master.
So, I don't understand why he is here
"Not good."
He said. The last intel I got from my informer, nothing noisy going there.
"Why is that?"
I asked him. He came close to me and whisper as if no one except me can hear.
"Well, our sect master health is not good. And you know that Duke Layman? He want to take over the seat of the Sect Master. And my master also wanted to become a sect master. But the power behind Duke is far greater than my master, so he asked me to join government office, as his only disciple, he does want me to lost my career if he loses the battle over the become sect master. I was opposed to that, but well he forced me here."
That Duke Layman... He is one of the snakes that I have to look out for, he may become a little obstacle to my plan. But an obstacle indeed.
"I see, then wanna join us?"
I showed him my back. He understood Nina and Co. were in my team.
"Isn't that interrupt you guys if an outsider such as me join here?"
He asked me. I shrugged and said,
"No, in fact, I want you to join my team. I also want to make Duke Layman fail. Follow me, and you may get whatever you want."
Pulling him in my team and making his master our ally also mean if I put them into Wrath Temple's top authorities, they will be our loyal friends. And I can feel that this guy won't betray us.
"Umm... I see. This game will be hard for me to play alone. Even if we had an odd relationship I will still take that opportunity. Thanks for taking me in."
He said. I looked at everyone. They nodded toward me.
We didn't talk anymore he silently followed us, until we saw someone. It is that guy... Paul starling.
He was riding in mount. The mount wasn't running. He was looking at me as if he was waiting for me.
"Hello, Lan, senior brother Lancelot."
What does this guy want?
"What do you want now?"
Glenn asked.
"Ah! Senior brother Glenn. Forgive my rudeness. I fail to see you before."
He said that with an arrogant face. He meant Glenn isn't worthy enough to his attention.
"This kid? Can I bomb him?"
Shun asked me.
"Well, The reason I am here, I challenge you to compete with me, in this test. I want to show you who is boss."
Ignoring Shun he told me.
"What a rude kid...! I never thought the leader of the current National Champion is like that."
Kento said.
"Shut up, loser. You guys didn't win the tournament for the last 50 years. You are not worthy enough to judge me."
Kento frowned. This kid want to defeat me because of the humiliation that he felt back then. I still didn't say anything to him.
"They are from your team, no?"
Paul asked me. Taking my silence as yes, he said,
"I will show you that my team is better than your team. My team will be at the top of every test stage of this Recruitment Test. Though I do not know your team can even pass all the stage, I will give you a handicap if this happens."
Saying that this kid went away with his mount. Entire-time I didn't utter a single word. And there is no way I will accept a challenge from weakling like him.
"Hmm, kid these days, I miss my cute team."
Kakashi said while showing tired and bothersome face.
We all resume our race and forgot about Paul Starling and his challenge.
