Riko hurriedly opened her fingers and looked at her cell phone screen. Realizing that it was a call from Yama Minamiya, her expression immediately stiffened.
Mozzie and Kevin immediately turned their heads over. From Riko's expression, they guessed that it was a call from Yama Minamiya. It had to be the end of the meeting, and he was calling to inform them of the outcome!
Mozzie and Kevin immediately held their breaths nervously.
"Don't worry."
Riko gave the duo a gentle smile and pressed the 'connect' button. She held the cell phone to her ear.
She told the duo not to worry, but Riko's heart was beating like a drum. She was extremely nervous.
What if her father's negotiations failed and the selection rules were really changed? What would happen if Mozzie and Kevin's spots for the collective training were removed?
No, it was not a 'what if'. The possibility was terrifyingly high. No matter how much she comforted herself, she had no choice but to recognize the cruelty of reality. With the seven major organizations jointly protesting, with the Hero Association secretly pressuring them, coupled with the public's objections, changing the rules should have been the final decision. By sacrificing Mozzie and Kevin, as well as the interests of Gaia, everyone else could obtain a satisfactory outcome. How could the committee not do so?
Mozzie and Kevin would definitely be very sad if they lost their spots for the collective training, right? When the time came, how was she to comfort them and enlighten them, allowing them to walk out of their depressed and negative emotions?
"Hello..."
Riko picked up the call and her voice sounded somewhat stiff. She was the 'violent girl' mentioned by Shi Xiaobai, not some caring missy!
Riko was both nervous and worried. She had already begun thinking of the words that she was not good at using to comfort and encourage juniors.
Yama Minamiya's deep and steady voice resounded in her ears.
"The meeting has ended. The rules will not change. The spots are still those two children's."
It was simple and direct. Without any foreshadowing, Yama Minamiya used a declarative tone to explain the outcome of the meeting.
"Ah?"
Riko exclaimed. She first thought that she had heard wrongly before she was pleasantly surprised. She hurriedly asked, "We won? We won? "
"Yea, we won."
Yama Minamiya answered calmly. They had won against countless objections.
"Hahaha... Well done!"
Riko immediately laughed out loud. She winked at the duo beside her and waved her fist, indicating that they had won!
Mozzie and Kevin stared with widened eyes. Momentarily, they were pleasantly surprised and in disbelief. They wondered if they were dreaming.
Riko's smile was resplendent as she was rather excited. She said coquettishly to Yama Minamiya, "Dad, quickly tell me how you won!"
"It's all thanks to Chairman Jiang. He stood his ground against the majority and objected to changing the rules, resulting in such an outcome," Yama Minamiya answered calmly.
"That's it?" Li Zi asked.
"That's all." Yama Minamiya answered.
Lizi was stunned, but soon she smiled again. Although it was not her father who turned the tide, the result was perfect. There was nothing to be disappointed about.
"That's right. Grandpa Jiang truly lives up to his title as Emperor Jiang Qingdi. He is indeed a righteous hero who has been enshrined in the Hall of Heroes!"
She suddenly thought of Kevin's worries just now, so she asked softly, "By the way, I heard that Boorish Zhang Meng also participated. Did he and the unreasonable organization's top management make things difficult for you?"
"No." Yama Minamiya answered with two simple words. His voice was calm and composed.
"That's good."
Riko immediately heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, Teacher One-Pun did not have any scenes to appear in.
"Alright, that's all. We'll wait for Shi Xiaobai to come out before holding a celebratory feast. There's something on, so I'm hanging up."
Suddenly, Yama Minamiya said. While Riko was still in a daze, Yama Minamiya had already hung up the phone.
"Du … Du … Du …"
Riko was stunned. Why did he hang up just like that? She still had many questions to ask!
"Strange, why do I find something odd …"
Riko put down her cell phone and gently frowned. However, when she turned her head to look at the two people beside her, they had extremely 'interesting' expressions.
She immediately stopped thinking about it and laughed happily.
…
…
Shanghai City First Hospital. Special ward.
The moment Yama Minamiya hung up the phone, he gritted his teeth and groaned in pain.
An experienced orthopedic doctor was treating his knee that had been crushed to a pulp. Although he had been injected with a light dose of anesthetic, it was still extremely painful.
Thankfully, Yama Minamiya was able to endure the pain during the call and pretend to be so calm and steady.
Even the old doctor could not help but look up at Yama Minamiya a few times.
One-Pun stood by the side and sighed. He said, "Can't you call after the treatment is over?"
Yama Minamiya gritted his teeth and said with a trembling voice, "Those few children must be anxious from waiting … Ah … Si …"
One-Pun shook his head helplessly and suddenly said with a serious expression, "Those two children might not be able to keep up with the collective training."
Previously, under Riko's coaxing and pestering, One-Pun had taken the time to guide Shi Xiaobai, Mu Yuesheng, Kevin and Mozzie for a short period of time.
Although it was not a long period of time, One-Pun had already made a preliminary judgment of the quartet.
From his point of view, Wen Hezheng's attitude was not bad, but her talent was mediocre.
Kevin had some talent, but he was still far from a true genius. Furthermore, he was arrogant and had biased views. Some of his views were ridiculously wrong, but he did not listen to the opinions of others. Among the quartet, One-Pun thought the worst of them.
Therefore, although he had promised Riko to watch the meeting, it was only to take care of Yama Minamiya. One-Pun did not care about the outcome of the meeting, but he never expected Yama Minamiya to work so hard.
From his point of view, even if they managed to secure the spots for the collective training, the two children would find it difficult to keep up with the others. They might even be eliminated or abandoned very quickly.
When Yama Minamiya heard this, his expression immediately turned serious. He looked at One-Pun and said solemnly, "Those two children are completely different from before. I believe that the present them will not disappoint anyone!"
One-Pun was slightly taken aback as he pondered for a moment and said, "Then I was being superficial …"
Yama Minamiya grinned and said, "No, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that a single trial would make the two children seem like completely different people. You can't underestimate the potential of young people!"
One-Pun nodded and said in deep thought, "At least that child, Shi Xiaobai, has completely exceeded my expectations."
"Hehe, that child is a rookie of our Annihilation division!"
Yama Minamiya grinned as he looked rather proud. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked softly, "Speaking of which, One-Pun, do you think that child, Shi Xiaobai, has a chance of reaching the eighth level?"
One-Pun was taken aback as he pondered for a moment. He said, "Back then, I was young and frivolous. I entered the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower at the seventh level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. At the fifth level, I took the initiative to seek out the Level Lord, but I ended up suffering a crushing defeat. I was forced to use the exit command, so I do not have much of an idea of the difficulty of the seventh level. However, I know the strength of the Level Lord very well. It is at least at the mid-stages of the Psionic Might Realm or above. To beat it at the Psionic Mortal Realm, one needs to have astounding and unprecedented talent! Probably only astounding figures like Overlord Ji Feng, Sword Immortal Xu Taibai, and Conquest King Chu Tianqi can do it. And for Shi Xiaobai to conquer eight Level Lords, regardless of how he did it, it proves that he at least possesses astounding talent! With such talent, it is very likely that he can clear the seventh level. However, the Hero King, who is believed to be able to reach the eighth level or even the ninth level for the first time in history, has stopped at the seventh level for some unknown reason. It can be seen that even with talent and strength, he might not be able to clear the seventh level. Therefore … I cannot be certain that Shi Xiaobai can reach the eighth level. "
One-Pun's analysis resulted in such an ambiguous answer. Yama Minamiya could not help but roll his eyes. He laughed angrily and said, "I believe Shi Xiaobai has a hundred percent chance of reaching the eighth level. He might even be able to reach the ninth level! Do you dare to make a bet with me!? "
One-Pun was taken aback. He never expected Yama Minamiya to have such delusional confidence in Shi Xiaobai. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Bet on what?"
The corners of Yama Minamiya's mouth suffused a 'strange' smile as he whispered, "If Shi Xiaobai reaches the eighth level, you have to …"
