318 To Be Fair, You Have a Magical Beast Too!

“All right!” Someone in the audience shouted.

Only then did the audience snap out of their shock.

“Why didn’t the Golden Liger dodge? Even a pet cat wouldn’t just stand there and do nothing!”

“Unbelievable!”

“Do you think we’re the only ones who are shocked? You can see from Atwood’s expression that he’s also confused!”

…

When the audience saw this sudden scene, they quickly began a round of heated discussions on this new topic. Atwood, who was in ring two, was utterly enraged.

After losing the ability to fight, he could only summon the Golden Liger again after two hours, and he could only summon it four times a day. It also meant Atwood would have to rely on his independent strength to complete the battle.

At that moment, he looked at Moss ruthlessly as his entire demeanor became manic. Atwood roared, and a Howling Demonic Wolf appeared before him.

“What? He has a second type of beast?”

The audience could not help but exclaim when they saw another beast appear.

“That’s not a wild beast either. Atwood had tamed that Howling Demonic Wolf!”

“You’re right. It’s the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf. That problematic Magical Beast appeared in this year’s college entrance exams.”

“Ah.”

…

Some quickly recognized the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf. Hearing that it was the tamed Sky-howling Demonic Wolf, the arena let out a burst of surprised cries. But at the same time, many raised their doubts.

“Can the participants use tamed Magical Beasts in the arena?”

“Isn’t that against the rules?”

“Won’t Atwood get disqualified?”

…

Atwood did not have time to care about the audience’s reaction. At that moment, anger occupied his mind as he commanded the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf to attack Moss.

When Moss saw Atwood and the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf attacking him, he did not Dodge and blocked the two opponents.

Bang, bang!

With two loud sounds, Atwood’s hunting fork and the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf hit Moss’s two shields.

Atwood was a stubborn person. Previously, his Golden Liger’s attack had only caused a crack in Moss’s shield. Now, he personally wanted to test how strong Moss’s defenses were.

However, he only managed to create a crack when he used 80% of his energy to hit Moss’s shield with his four-star water-type hunting fork.

“His defenses are this strong?” In disbelief, Atwood looked at the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf from the corner of his eye and saw that the other shield was the same.

Atwood had no choice but to accept this unbelievable reality.

‘He’s just a first-year student that’s a Knight. How can his defense be so strong? Could he have hidden his strength in his previous matches? Why are Kyoto’s first-year students hiding their strengths? Does he have a more powerful skill or something that can change this match’s outcome?’

…

Atwood’s mind was full of doubts, but he did not intend to stop. He gestured to the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf, signaling it to attack Moss together. Then Atwood jumped back and turned around in the air. He thundered, “Soul-chasing Flying Fork!”

The hunting fork flew toward Moss, its shaft and tips rippling with water.

Bang, bang!

Another two loud bangs sounded as Atwood’s hunting fork and the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf’s sharp claws collided with the shield on Moss’s right hand, one after another.

Upon seeing this, Moss remained calm. He did not dodge or evade but instead used his shield to block the attacks. Simultaneously, he used the shield in his left hand to attack the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf.

The Sky-howling Demonic Wolf seemed to sense danger when it attacked. After hitting the shield, it immediately jumped to the side.

“What?!” Atwood roared, his eyes wide as he looked at Moss in disbelief. He had struck Moss’s shield with all his might, but it did not break even after his hunting fork nailed it.

‘How is that possible?!’

Even Donghu’s co-captain, Asa, dared not take Atwood’s attack head-on, but the first-year student before him had taken it like a champ.

Although he knew Moss was not an ordinary first-year student, he could only continue fighting in this situation.

Atwood was surprised that his Golden Liger did not listen to his orders, so he summoned a Sky-howling Demonic Wolf on impulse. It would be highly embarrassing if he still could not win this match.

With that thought in mind, he prepared to rush forward to engage Moss in close combat.

Beep! Beep!

However, the referee’s urgent whistle sounded outside the ring, calling the match in ring two to a screeching halt. A moment later, the referee on duty rushed up to ring two.

This action attracted everyone’s attention. Even the matches on the other three rings stopped.

Roderick, the referee on duty, dared not be negligent because so many people were looking at him. He immediately said, “Student Atwood from Donghu University summoned a tamed Magical Beast without permission and violated the competition rules.

“I will give you a severe warning and verbal criticism of Donghu University’s team. After the match, Donghu University must submit a written self-reflection letter to the competition committee.”

Upon hearing this, the audience in the arena began to discuss again.

“What?! Does that mean Moss wins this match?”

“That’s very likely. Didn’t you hear that Donghu has to submit a written reflection after the competition?”

“How interesting. That Moss kid is fascinating. He always wins whatever matches he appears in.”

…

Roderick paused and glanced at Donghu’s team leader, Lisa. He continued, “But the competition rules do not mention that the participants cannot compete with tamed Magical Beasts.

“Based on the above reasons, the competition’s ruling team unanimously decided that we need to listen to student Moss’s opinion on how I decide the match’s outcome.”

He revealed a peaceful smile and looked at Moss. “Student Moss, you have two choices now. Firstly, for fairness’ sake, you can summon your tamed Magical Beast, and the match will continue.

“Secondly, if you don’t want to summon your tamed Magical Beast, even though Atwood had summoned his, I will declare you this match’s victor,” with that said, Roderick looked at Moss smilingly and patiently waited for his choice.

Before Moss could decide, the arena was in an uproar again.

“Sigh, the match will end just like that. I wanted to see what kind of Magical Beast Moss has tamed and how it’ll perform against the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf! What a pity!”

“Aren’t you being a little silly? Even if it’s up to you to decide, you can’t possibly choose the first one. After all, this is a competition!”

“That’s right. If Moss and Atwood were to continue fighting, there’s no way the first-year students would be able to beat second-year students from the top 10 institutes!”

…

“I choose the first option,” Moss said just as everyone looked at the other three rings or waited to see what would happen in ring two.

Moss’s voice was not loud, and he appeared calm. However, everyone in the arena could hear it through Roderick’s microphone.

Atwood looked at Moss in disbelief, and his dull eyes bloomed with light again.
