Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2754 - 1302: Public Opinion and Potential Threats (Part 2)

However, this torture didn’t last too long. Just a few seconds later, once the name [Hei Fan] appeared on the big screen, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, so much so that the applause from Fyari and Elisa stood out immediately.

This wasn’t without reason. Firstly, most of the audience were locals from Academy City. Against an external force such as the [Holy Church Union Delegation], they naturally would cheer fervently for Foster, who theoretically represents Academy City, while giving their opponent a slight cold shoulder.

Another reason is that the ’Black Vatican Priest’ is hardly known; rarely heard of even within the Holy Church Union, let alone in Academy City.

And for such an obscure figure to overpower Ramollok to become a seed contestant in this competition, even if he was the last seeded contestant, was enough to leave everyone puzzled and confounded.

This confusion and bewilderment evolved into silence, and silence was the only response because people truly did not know what to say, nor did they know from which angle to discuss this person.

Ramollok, who previously fought an impressive battle on the Xibei Dalu, could easily become a topic and focal point, even though that battle was highly contentious, it didn’t lack topicality.

Yet, highly topical as Ramollok was, he failed to become a seed contestant, directly bullying his way into the top 32, while the completely unknown ’Black Vatican Priest’ was about to play the first match against Foster as the sixth seed, entering from 32 to 16. If anyone claimed they weren’t bewildered, it would be deceitful.

Of course, within this silence, there wasn’t much hostility, let alone any boos. After all, the teachers and students of Academy City are of high average quality, and such indecent behavior would not occur among them. The silence was mainly because they really didn’t know what to say.

However, there are always people who know what to say, such as——

"Ah! It’s Captain Foster!"

Lei Er Si, who personally finished drawing lots, let out a light exclamation, her little face turned slightly red due to excitement: "It’s the Student Union President of [Dan Slave Military Academy]! Captain of the Enforcement Team Foster Ward! The number one seed Foster Ward!"

La Ersi nodded, pouted, and said: "Now that I think about it, Senior Foster didn’t participate in the last competition, right? If I remember correctly, there was only one contestant from Dan Slave last time, and that was the [Witch] Theresa Tarosa, wasn’t it?"

Lei Er Si nodded slightly, then quickly shook her head and said: "Don’t call Theresa by her nickname, but...uh, as Sister said, last Warfire League, Theresa represented Dan Slave, and despite qualifying conditions, she didn’t register this time."

"Last time it was Theresa, this time it’s Senior Foster..."

La Ersi bit her Silver Teeth, discontentedly said: "Why doesn’t our academy have someone who can easily win the championship?"

Lei Er Si, also from [Mercury Gold Military Academy], hurriedly tugged at her sister’s sleeve and whispered: "Don’t say that! Besides, didn’t Dean ask you if you wanted to sign up for the competition before? It was you who refused, wasn’t it?"

"Because it’s troublesome, and after knowing that Senior Foster also participated, I immediately didn’t want to compete."

La Ersi, justified, snorted and continued discontentedly: "That’s why the dean should recruit some capable students! Look at Dan Slave, they have both Theresa and Foster, it’s simply..."

"Sister!"

Lei Er Si pulled La Ersi hard, and said with a wry smile: "Don’t stray from the topic!"

"Tch, so annoying."

La Ersi pouted, but still obediently refrained from continuing the topic, lazily rested her chin on her hand, and said weakly: "In any case, Foster Ward needs no introduction, let’s look at the other one...uh, who is this person?"

Lei Er Si immediately coughed heavily in embarrassment and said: "Uh, the opponent of Senior Foster Ward is a trainee member of the [Holy Church Union Exchange Team], a Black Vatican Priest of the Church of the Dawn, who is our sixth seed contestant, was very active during a malignant plague incident, and is said to be a very capable commander."

"Never heard of him."

"Sister, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you!"

"Tsk..."

"In any case, let’s not cause trouble!"

Lei Er Si wiped the sweat off her forehead, continued reading the data on the small screen in front of her: "The staff for both contestants are Lian·Yuan Rui, who, like Senior Foster, is from Dan Slave Military Academy and the Law Enforcement Force, and Morning Forgotten Language from the Holy Church Union Delegation, like the Black Vatican Priest."

...

"Uhh!"

Upon being mentioned, Yu Chen, who was almost curled up in the chair, immediately shrank her neck, trembling greatly.

"Relax."

Motan, whose face didn’t look too well either and had a bit of a stomachache from the pressure, took a deep breath and comforted stiffly: "Don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

Yu Chen pouted in a somewhat reproachful manner: "Hei Fan you have no right to say...Hei Fan?"

"Yo, you’re awake?"

A man with short brown hair and a pure white crown suddenly leaned his face over with a cheerful smile: "Did you sleep well, Your Majesty the King of Sin?"

Mo slowly raised his head, looked at this person calmly, and said nothing.

The next instant, several streaks of blood-red light flashed suddenly!

"You, you don’t have morning rage, right? Is it called low blood pressure or what?"

Flicking his smoking hands, the dashing [White King Arthur] grinned and said: "Or is it because it wasn’t your sister-in-law who appeared in front of you that you’re annoyed? Well, you must understand, after all, that ’Sin Knight’ of yours is holding a meeting in Academy City, it wouldn’t be right if Sister Silent Prayer was also missing all the time."

Mo stood up, left the black ’throne’ behind him, which Merlin crudely molded from [Infectious Material], and asked indifferently: "Completely stable now?"

"Not completely, but almost."

Arthur shrugged, patted the silver longsword on his waist, and said with a smile: "Old man Merlin has been ’upgrading’ Osiris and me for a while now, under normal circumstances, we have about the power of typical epics, similar to Dora."

Mo shook his head lightly: "I was referring to, your soul and mental state."

"Not to the point of losing control, but only just not losing control."

Arthur’s expression became slightly serious, he said solemnly: "And also unable to take too much stimulus. Last time, after sister-in-law took me to go shopping with Gevieve, I almost had nine tenths of my parts overloaded. If the old man weren’t so fond of sister-in-law, I probably wouldn’t have escaped a scolding."

"Any way to further suppress it?"

Mo went to the file cabinet concerning the [Godslayer Star Project], took out the latest experimental reports from the White Bishop and White King, and asked while flipping through them: "I noticed Osiris is much better than you."

"Mr. Lude is a singular seeker of truth. Osiris’s grandpa is so old he has no thoughts of the mundane any longer, which is not the same for me."

Arthur leaned against the file cabinet, crossed his arms, and said peevishly: "I was in my prime, with a life similar to a flowering age, only to be killed by you, bastard."

"So?"

"So although further suppression should be possible, according to the old man, it would take at least several months of adjustment and adaptation."

"Conclusion?"

"Once Jiawen returns, it will commence, right?"

"Mm."

"Don’t send me to Griffin."

"Reason?"

"Gevieve Logan...is a huge risk."
