Session 2: Slap in the face before promotion (I)
Session 2: Slap in the face before promotion (I)
"Watch your actions, Berner!" Jacques said in a deep and serious voice.
In any case, Jacques couldn't let the two of them do it directly, because no matter how strong Townsend was, he was at most a junior anomaly, and the gap was too big compared to Bernard. If there is an injury, it is difficult for him to explain.
Therefore, in the "sexual" urgency, Jacques even discarded the title of "sir", and in the world of paranormal masters, conversations without honorific titles are rare, and the threat is extremely obvious.
"Your Excellency the President has been overwhelmed, now it is Townsend who is the first to challenge, and Berner is just responding. How can we, the guild adeptists, be afraid of the test?" Edvina spoke, her tone was gentle, but the scorpion-like mind was clear: "Berner's level is higher, so he can naturally control the strength of his shots, and he won't hurt Townsend, right?"
"Of course, dear lady. It may be difficult to say to others, but for Townsend, I still have this certainty. Berner nodded slowly, the cruelty in his eyes revealed his true thoughts: "Please rest assured, we are not enemies of each other, I will not let Townsend get hurt!"
Of course, the onlookers saw Bernard's plan, and some people who were "sexual" and straightforward couldn't help it, and there was a rebuke around him - Berner not only abandoned his position, but now he doesn't even want to be cheeky!
Relying on the support of the people who will come down from the general meeting, he is arrogant to such an extent, he is the bastard who despises this branch!
In the scolding, Bernard was indifferent, the old god was there, just looking at his opponent from afar...... The Adeptists didn't think he could hurt Townsend in plain sight, and they didn't think that this fight would take place, because His Excellency would not agree.
President Jacques did think so, and he immediately stripped Berner of his disguise, and then encouraged Townsend to meet him bravely, but this was to make Townsend get recognition from others in the club.
Don't underestimate this arrangement, in fact, it is of great benefit to Townsend, after all, his previous image was not very good, and what is more prevalent than being a common enemy at the moment?
But no one expected that Townsend would not be able to take on this challenge by chance.
"Your Excellency," Townsend looked at Jacques and said sincerely, "please allow me to challenge him!"
Of course, Jacques could see that Townsend was not joking, nor was he playing a little trick of advancing and retreating, he really wanted to fight this one! So now Jacques is not only hesitant in his heart, but a kind of "confusion" with horror.
He turned his head + passionately, hoping to get an answer from Hughes, who had never spoken—strictly speaking, Townsend was Hughes's man, and Hughes was the most powerful anomalist on the scene, so he had to be given an idea.
Hughes squinted slightly, his indifferent pupils reflected everything in the hall, but his own soul was as if it was not in a shell, and he did not react to the strife and noise of the outside world, not even his own daughter Marcia.
How can such an icy and indifferent expression make ordinary people see the clues?
But President Jacques was no ordinary man, and he had an extraordinary relationship with Hughes. So his face changed slightly, he looked back at Townsend, then at Berner, and finally crooked his mouth: "Okay, let's fight!"
"Your Excellency, Branch President!" Marcia never expected Jacques to agree, and was about to step forward to stop him, but was glared back by President Jacques - she immediately understood that things were not so simple, and that there were probably higher entanglements involved.
Townsend is an introduction, and even Berner is just an introduction.
"It's going to be fine. Townsend gave Marcia a reassuring smile and stepped forward.
In the astonished gaze of onlookers, Townsend walked into the small circle in the dedication hall.
He was relaxed, showing no signs of tension in his body, nor did he immediately begin to wake up, but leaned slightly to the side, tilted his head, and looked at Bernard with a strange gaze.
There was silence all around, and everyone was engrossed in staring at the changes in the field.
No one knows what means Townsend will use against Bernard, and no one knows where Townsend's courage comes from, but a strong sense of confidence slowly emanates from his body, and even calms those who worry about him.
This feels really inexplicable, he doesn't even "show" the characteristics of a rabid dog, and everyone will believe that he is okay?
Puzzled, everyone's eyes turned to another person, Berner, who had now also stepped down from the viewing table - but Berner's steps were not easy, because his heart was full of contradictions, and he could not see through Townsend's plan.
In fact, after the initial surprise, he decided that Townsend challenged him just by a slip of the tongue, or that he was simply making a joke. I want to know, Townsend is only a junior anomalist, what ability does he have to face himself?
So Townsend will definitely back down, in that way, he can stand firm, continue to provoke him, squeeze him, and let the forces and schemes behind him be revealed.
Although I can't do anything to Townsend in the end, I can still complete "that request" and get what I want.
Surprisingly, Townsend didn't hide under Jacques's umbrella, he actually stood up and challenged himself from standing in front of him!
He was like a wise man, facing himself with a calm and terrifying demeanor, and he was more like an assassin, staring at his eyes, staring at his neck, staring at his chest, staring at every place of his own mortality!
What kind of conspiracy is he hiding in his heart?!
Bluffing, right? Absolutely bluffing, Townsend Quelsa could never beat himself!
Thinking like this, Bernard's hesitant steps became a little firmer, but before he could take a step forward, he saw Townsend draw a gray dagger and hold it in his hand—dagger? Townsend with a dagger?
The faces of the all-powerful masters in the audience were all strange, only Marcia held her forehead and sighed silently-the special promotions have passed, and Townsend, as an anomaly, is still using a dagger in battle!
Berner felt that he was being insulted by Townsend again. His pace quickened a little, and Townsend on the other side did not change his expression, his wrist slowly flipped, and he held a dagger in his hand again.
With the most handy guy, Townsend became extremely confident, stretching his arms in a ritualistic slow motion, and the contours of his shoulders swayed like waves—his softness and agility surpassed that of a maiden apprentice, and his dignified and deep was not inferior to that of a master!
Finally, Townsend's left hand was crossed in front of his chest, the dagger was in his right hand, his right hand was hanging down at his waist, the dagger was held backwards, and then his knees sank slightly, and his slightly narrowed eyes flashed a fierce light, like a poisonous snake locking on its prey!
When he met Townsend's undisguised gaze, Berner's heart suddenly trembled!
Berner has climbed to the fourth level after ups and downs, and the Anomalist has eaten this bowl of rice for decades, has a lot of lives on his hands, and has been chased to the point of exhaustion by many people, so he is familiar with this kind of gaze, but it is not a pleasant memory.
There was an inexplicable fear that struck him, and the anger of humiliation in his heart, as well as the belief in victory, were rapidly dissolving-no! Things would never be so simple! Townsend definitely had a conspiracy, and his kind of gaze was clearly sure to kill himself!
How could he kill himself? with a dagger?
Berner suddenly remembered Edward, the second-level ability master Edward, wasn't he just beaten by Townsend to death, and now he is still waiting for someone to be sent to help?
But in the end, Edward fell, and Townsend didn't even lose a single "hair" - it was said that it was a supernatural backlash, but who could say the real reason? What if Townsend was more than that?
That's right! The ten unsuccessful apprentices he led all sprouted, and they were directly promoted to intermediate apprentices, and they duel with others when they left the examination room, and defeated more than 20 people one after another...... Ten days, this kind of achievement is appalling, is this something that a junior ability master can teach?!
One step away from getting in, but Berner's feet were in the air and he couldn't fall any further.
He was suspecting that he might have been fooled, and that he was probably just a pawn in a chess game, being pushed to the foreground by an invisible hand, and pushed into the abyss from which he could never recover......
The only difference is that Townsend has a strong boost behind him.
He looked away from Townsend in amazement, looked at Jacques with a gloomy face in the distance, and then looked at Hughes with an indifferent expression, but his heartbeat became even more chaotic...... Jacques and Hughes would never allow Townsend to be hurt by themselves, so they would definitely make a move, and they would definitely do it under the pretext of controlling the damage, and Edvina would block one at most!
Townsend is ready to kill himself directly with a dagger at the moment when he is controlled, right?
With someone else's help, Townsend may only be injured a little, and he will definitely die!
I was so excited that I jumped out without planning well and without arranging backup, and under the betrayal of my relatives, absolutely no one would speak for me, and no one would be willing to take action for myself - Edwina, what else did she do besides fanning the flames?
In this way, his death was just an accident, and the humiliation he suffered would instead set off the fame of Townsend Quelsa, and he immediately challenged the fourth-level ability master after his special promotion...... Could there be a more gorgeous appearance than this?
What a vicious intention! What a despicable calculation!
"Forget it, it's not worth doing it. ”
Bernard is not a fool, since he thought of this layer, how could he still crash into it and send him to death? So in front of the general gaze, he gently withdrew his lifted foot and made a very tolerant expression: "With the junior ability master...... I can't bully people. ”
"Phew!" Townsend spat out: "Idiot, if you're afraid of death, just say it!"
"Do you really want to challenge?" Berner shook his head, his face was gentle, and he was completely a master, "Let's wait until you get to the third level." ”
"It's okay if you don't dare to fight, but you remember what I said," Townsend sneered and said to Bernard's back: "If you fight in the promotion hall, you will only be injured and not killed, and if you meet outside, I may not be able to hold back!"
Towngson's voice was not high or high-pitched, but the words reached everyone's hearts as if they had been infused with magic.
This is a manifesto, a manifesto for Townsend Quelsa to become a true anomaly!
