321 Only Sixteen Years Old!
Although Roderick announced the match’s result, the audience was so engrossed that they forgot to cheer and clap. The entire Shenlu Martial Arts Arena was silent.
The audience members only regained their senses when Kyoto’s and Donghu’s co-captains stood in the ring, and the referee announced the start of the next match.
However, most thought everything that had happened just now was like a dream.
“Did Moss win the match just now?”
“Was I hallucinating? Who won the match just now?”
…
Some people had doubts about the eighth match between Kyoto and Donghu. When the referee announced that Kyoto had won another match with a score of 6:2, the audience regained their senses.
“The eighth match was quite intense but far less intense than expected.”
“Asa was powerful, but the gap between him and Co-captain Gavin was not as big as it had been in the match.”
“Co-captain Gavin’s quick victory had much to do with the massive blow Moss’s victory dealt to Atwood in the seventh match.”
The audience, and even the gambling agencies, did not expect a score of 6:2. Kyoto’s best record in the past few matches was only 6:2. Still, they were against teams with relatively weaker overall strength at that time.
However, their opponent this time was Donghu University, one of the top ten institutes. As a result, the 6:2 score made Kyoto the center of attention, and among these topics, the audience did not exclude Moss.
Moss was the first first-year student to defeat a second-year senior from a top-ten institute. In addition, he had put on a stunning performance with his tamed Magical Beast. It was difficult to suppress the audience’s enthusiasm.
“I think Moss deserves the title of ‘Miracle Creator.'”
“A rookie Knight in his first year defeated a Beast King in his second year. I still don’t understand how this could have ever happened.”
“Moss’s Magical Beast is too powerful. It made the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf kneel. I wouldn’t have believed it If I didn’t see it with my own eyes!”
“Although there is no evidence, I’m sure that Atwood’s terrible performance at the end must be related to the tamed beast that looked like a Bloodthirsty Bighorn Sheep.
…
The audience’s discussion was very heated, but after all, many were watching the show. However, most could not see the more profound things that had happened. That was why they only felt shocked by the basic situation.
Compared to the audience, the team members and professors had more insights. The more they discovered and understood, the more shocked they became.
Meanwhile, the team members and professors sat around a conference table in Aerospace University’s resting area, analyzing and discussing the matches Kyoto had just completed.
Everyone had solemn expressions, and the entire resting area’s atmosphere was unusually oppressive.
“That Moss guy’s defenses are no joke!” A bespectacled male student frowned and said with a slightly worried expression.
Aerospace University’s co-captain, Bard, nodded in agreement. “Indeed it isn’t. Moss’s shield only cracked a little under the Golden Liger and Sky-howling Demonic Wolf’s full-force attacks.”
“His actual defense is stronger than when he was fighting the Golden Liger and the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf.” Aerospace University’s Captain Barry had a gloomy expression. He looked at his leader, Mr. Schneider.
Then Barry continued, “He’s just a first-year student but dared to face Atwood’s Soul-chasing Hunting Fork head-on. Moss’s courage and insight are extraordinary.
“His shield remained intact after the hunting fork pierced a hole in it. That showed Moss was very confident in his own defensive ability. It also proved he had hidden his strength during his previous match against Fanny.
“With the defensive power Moss had displayed today, it was impossible for Fanny, a level 37 assassin with immense strength, to break through it. Moss is too slick if this is the truth and has hidden it just right.”
After saying that, Barry paused and asked, “Mr. Schneider, did you go to S City to recruit Moss? Do you know him?”
Schneider nodded thoughtfully and said slowly, “I went there twice. I first went to White Deer High because Moss won the Best Graduate award from S City’s elite training camp.
Moss had already reached level 25 then and rivaled Safin’s record of more than 20 years.”
Graduating from the elite training camp at level 25 isn’t the best I’ve seen, but it’s outstanding. It seems like Moss has quite a background.” Barry’s eyes brightened as he nodded in approval.
Once again, he looked at Moss in a new light. After that, he sighed, “There are records of Safin everywhere!”
“It seems Moss is not as straightforward as I had thought!”
…
The other team members also nodded in agreement. When they heard Schneider’s words, they no longer thought Moss’s performance during the competition was so surprising. After all, only extraordinary people could attend Kyoto Institute.
A moment later, Schneider, who was not tall but very strong, saw his team looking at him again. He knew they were waiting to hear what he was going to say.
He continued with a serious expression and a slightly skeptical look, “Even though I only met him twice before, I still think he is a magical person. At the same time, he is also very creative and daring.
“The first time he went to offer him a special recruitment package, Moss voluntarily gave it up to get into the top three institutes instead.”
“He gave up on the special recruitment offer? It doesn’t seem like much now, but it undoubtedly took courage!”
“He’s quite ambitious but also quite arrogant!”
“Since he got into Kyoto Institute and is representing them in the competition, he does seem confident!”
“He’s not an ordinary student.”
…
Aerospace University’s team members immediately expressed their thoughts.
“To be honest, I also thought he was a little arrogant then. As a Knight, he gave up the special recruitment and chose to apply for the top three institutes instead. Most thought he had a high probability of failing.
“Although I know he has a certain amount of room for improvement at sixteen years old, considering he’s a Knight by profession, I…
“Nonetheless, many professionals performed well in the beginning, and we considered them very talented, but later on, we discovered their performance was mediocre.
“So, although he was unwilling, he still left. All right, let’s go and see Zhenzhen first.”
As soon as Schneider finished, Bard suddenly exclaimed, “Mr. Schneider, did you just say Moss is only sixteen years old?!” Bard noticed a significant problem with this piece of information.
“Yes. Moss is only sixteen.” Schneider nodded, looking remorseful and sad. If he had known Moss was like this, he would have recruited him to Aerospace University no matter what. Still, there were too many ifs in the world.
