What do you mean by "as long as I'm happy"?
Gosdo initially didn't understand the meaning of Jeffrey's words until he overheard the whispers of students from the three colleges nearby.
The young man with the buzz cut suddenly froze, then visibly blushed, his toes digging into the ground in embarrassment.
It turns out that the so-called "Fate enemy" was just something I made up in my head, pure wishful thinking.
Stealing a glance at the tall boy fiddling with a communicator beside Steel Tiger, Gosdo for a moment, took a deep breath, and stepped forward.
"Hello Lancelot, let's get acquainted. Gosdo Harry, a second-year student at the Infinity Academy."
Lancelot looked up at the sound and saw a slightly flushed, short-haired boy who was extending his right hand and pursing his lips.
The imagery was so beautiful that Lancelot subconsciously replied, "Uh... I like women."
Gosdo's appearance was really infuriating, so it's no wonder he misunderstood.
Lancelot's voice wasn't loud; he was just speaking normally.
Unfortunately, the entire square was filled with Transcendent individuals, all possessing extremely keen hearing.
All around them, pairs of eyes turned to look at them.
Countless eyes swept between Lancelot and Gosdo, the fires of gossip burning brightly. What had they heard?
What's the untold secret between the two champions?
Gosdo's eyes widened, and his cheeks, which had calmed down, instantly turned bright red again.
It's clear that this reigning champion is very thin-skinned.
"I... I didn't... that's not what I meant..." Gosdo of effort to make Lancelot understand that Lancelot simply wanted to be friends with him.
Ahem... the pure friendship kind.
"Oh, I'm sorry, please forgive my previous careless words." Lancelot noticed the strange looks around him and realized that everyone had misunderstood something. After apologizing to Gosdo, he quickly explained to everyone.
Others: "Oh~..."
Lancelot shrugged at the crowd's reactions, his expression unchanged. His skin was Gosdo's, and he remained completely unaffected.
Turning around, he took the initiative to start a conversation with Gosdo, gradually defusing the previous awkward situation with words.
Although Gosdo was thin-skinned, he was broad-minded and didn't hold a grudge against the previous incident. After the initial stumbling, he gradually became more fluent and natural in his speech, and his conversation with Lancelot was very harmonious.
After the two chatted for a while, another Tier Seven combatant from the Infinity Academy, Dexijin, joined them, followed by Keaton from the Radiant Sun Academy and Cage from the Constellation Academy.
All five possessed Tier Seven combat power, so they naturally formed a small circle. After introducing themselves, they began to chat, and before leaving, they exchanged contact information.
The school leaders of the four colleges were all pleased with this outcome.
Although there is fierce competition among the four academies, for example, Holy Sword Academy and Infinity Academy often clash.
However, this is healthy internal competition and is far from being considered an enemy. When facing external enemies, the four academies are each other's most reliable allies.
The story of Lancelot breaking the academy's 53-year record by reaching the 409th step on the Holy Sword Stairway, completing the achievement quest, and receiving a reward of 20,000 credits, spread wider and wider over time.
Soon, the entire Holy Sword Academy knew about this, and the reactions were varied: some were delighted, some were jealous, and some were extremely angry.
Those who were on good terms with Lancelot were amazed and congratulated him. The Student Council vice president, Beaufort, even had a projection call with Lancelot, talking for a full half hour.
Those who had conflicts with Lancelot were in a very difficult situation, like ants on a hot pan, restless and anxious.
Inside the luxurious room, a projection of a figure in black stood calmly in the corner, his gaze fixed intently on the chaotic scene before him.
"Impossible! I don't believe it! How could that lowly human have progressed so quickly?"
The Blood Clan boy, Peidasi, was frantically smashing things in the room. His intense emotions caused coarse, black hairs to sprout on his skin, and his ears to elongate.
Sharp fangs protruded from the corners of his lips, his eyes were blood red, and he looked ready to devour anyone. The maids were so frightened that they lay prostrate on the ground, trembling violently, afraid that they would be torn to pieces by the enraged third young master.
"Young Master, this matter has spread throughout the entire academy, it is indeed true. The clan leader has ordered you not to provoke Lancelot again, and the previous matter is hereby dropped," the man in black said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Peidasi roared, "Let it go? No! This despicable man has repeatedly insulted me in public. He has trampled on my dignity and tarnished the honor of the Morgan Family. I will not bow down to him, absolutely not!"
"The clan chief has ordered that if you insist on not obeying this order, he will summon you back to the clan." As he said this, the man in black's voice became somewhat cold.
Upon hearing this, Peidasi's frantic movements abruptly ceased.
The Blood Clan boy's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty; he understood that this was his father's ultimatum.
The so-called "recall family" simply means reducing the training sequence.
The competition within the Blood Clan is extremely fierce. Many of his brothers and sisters are eyeing his position, and if he displeases his father, he'll be in big trouble.
Thinking this, Peidasi could only suppress his anger and turn to look at the projection of the man in black. "Please tell my father that I will carry out any of his orders and will not have any further direct conflict with Lancelot."
"Yes!" The man in black bowed slightly, and then the projection turned into a white light and disappeared.
Peidasi clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead. The next moment, he suddenly focused his gaze on the Rabbit-Eared Tribe maids kneeling in a row beside him. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth full of fangs and pounced.
Immediately afterwards, screams echoed throughout the room.
