David lost his first match, which frustrated him greatly. He kept his head down and did not say a word since he left the backstage.
Angor explained the reason for his failure, which made David feel better.
He had always thought that it was because of his carelessness that he had lost the victory of the competition. But after hearing Angor's explanation, he realized that even if he was not careless, he would not have been able to stop the Pied Piper's attack.
Cantrips that could manipulate spiritual force were extremely rare among apprentices. David had some potions that could heal spirit injuries, but he did not know how to resist spirit attacks. Even if he was prepared, he would still lose against the Pied Piper.
In other words, David's opponent was a nobody. But judging by his strength, he was definitely a dark horse in the new star contest.
It made sense that he lost because he met a dark horse. With that in mind, David felt much better.
"Ugh … I guess I have to accept it. It's fine if I lose this time. I still have one more chance, "David said. As long as he could win the next match, he would not be eliminated.
"It's fine even if you lose. Your goal is to enter the Endless Corridor anyway. You're qualified now," Angor said. Sailum was in a good mood now. He would try his best to win as many matches as possible. If he felt that he might lose, he would give up. He had achieved his goal anyway. It was not realistic for him to compete with the other potential seeds in the rankings.
David sighed and said bitterly, "That's what I thought at first. But Professor Leona gave me a strict order. She said I have to at least get into the top 50 of the new star contest. Or else …"
"Or else what?"
David lowered his head and pretended to be frustrated. "Or else I have to accompany Jack Sue for ten years."
Angor gave him a sympathetic look. "That's a terrible punishment. I didn't think your professor would be so cruel."
Jacksue was one of Leona's demon servants. What was special about it was that it was a rose from the Rose Garden. Roses were supposed to be elegant and beautiful, but Jacksue was a weirdo. Not only was it wretched and obscene, but it also had a venomous tongue.
Every time they met, Dave would spend some time complaining about Jack Sue. Jack Sue would always use all kinds of sarcastic words to attack Dave from all directions, which always hit the bullseye. Angor wondered where Jack Sue found so many annoying words. Even though Dave only repeated one or two sentences, Angor could already feel the deadly power of Jack Sue's words.
It was one thing for Jack Sue to have a poisonous tongue, but its heart was still black. Furthermore, it was greedy and lustful. Last time when Angor went to the Rose Garden, Jack Sue almost swallowed the magic crystal he gave to Angor. It was obvious how greedy he was.
If David really had to accompany Jack Sue for ten years, it would definitely be a terrible punishment.
"Good luck then. Let's hope you'll meet an easy opponent next time." Angor sincerely wished Dave the best of luck.
With Angor's blessing, Dave went to check the schedule for tomorrow's match. When he saw his opponent, he almost vomited blood.
He helped Dave up and checked the list of matches.
"Overlook the Mystery VS Girl in Divine Attire"
Angor gave Dave a pitiful look when he saw "Girl in Divine Attire". If it were someone else, Dave might be able to win by surprise, as long as the gap between them wasn't too big. But this girl in divine attire …
What was Dave's biggest advantage right now? His alchemy equipment that was despised by the audience.
Even if he lost against someone else, his alchemy equipment would give him enough confidence. But he didn't even have that confidence when facing Carveline, a witch from the Shepherd God Clan.
Compared to Carveline's Shepherd God Outfit, Dave's alchemy equipment was like a grain of rice in front of a star. They couldn't even compete on the same stage.
Without his alchemy equipment, Dave couldn't compete with Carveline at all.
"Why her …" Dave pulled a long face. "She's going to win the Rising Star Competition. I'm just trying my best to get into the top 50. How am I supposed to fight her?"
David's cries could be said to be hoarse and sincere.
When he thought about being Jack Sue's companion for ten years, he would rather be sent back to the furnace.
Angor didn't know what to do about Dave's bad luck. "How about you talk to Carveline in private?"
Dave stared at Angor in shock. "You're the judge, and you're encouraging me to cheat?! That's so … delightful! "
Dave's mood took a turn for the worse, and he made the decision without hesitation.
However, David had never thought about whether others would agree to him cheating in secret.
Not only did Carveline refuse Dave's request, but she also gave Dave a crushing defeat on the second day of the competition. If it weren't for the judge's order, Dave would have been cut open on the stage.
Dave's second match ended in failure. With this, Dave's journey in the Rising Star Competition came to an end.
Leona sneered. Dave would not only suffer for the next ten years, but also a shadow that would haunt him for the rest of his life.
Angor only had one suggestion for Dave. "Break through as soon as possible, then find a way to kill Jack Sue."
He didn't know if Dave could do it or not.
After Dave's match ended, the other matches in Fangling Pavilion also began. Apart from teaching classes, Angor spent the next few days watching his friends' matches.
So far, Nausica had one win and three losses. She wasn't lucky enough to run into several people who were at the top of the potential list. Given her current record, she basically had no chance to advance to the finals. She wasn't eliminated yet, but she could only fight for a ranking at best.
Sailum's luck was not so bad. His opponents were all average. He won two out of three matches. The last one he lost was because he was unlucky enough to be matched against Saladin.
A lunatic from the Supreme Cult.
If Sailum used all his strength, he might be able to fight Saladin to a draw. If he was lucky, he might even be forced into a desperate situation. However, Saladin was a "lunatic". He would only unleash his full strength when he was in a desperate situation. His crazed state would destroy all enemies in front of him. Even Jebra might not be able to resist Saladin's madness.
Sailum didn't need to fight for a ranking. After assessing the strength of his opponents and testing them himself, he gave up without hesitation.
As for Shiliew, she had the best result among the three. She only lost one of her four matches.
In the three matches that she had won, she had encountered powerful opponents. Therefore, she had taken the potion cautiously and won. Her only loss was because her opponent was too ordinary. Shiliew believed she could handle it and didn't need to waste her potion, so she went straight to the arena. Unfortunately, she overestimated her self-control and underestimated her overwhelming desire to sleep.
Shiliew began to doze off in the middle of the match, which not only shocked the audience but also stunned her opponents.
No one could do anything about it. Shiliew's weakness was obvious, and it couldn't be hidden. Besides, she didn't have many potions left. Losing some unimportant matches was not a big deal.
Shan looked at Shiliew's sleeping face and felt a little worried. "If only she's a Dream Manipulator. At least she can get something when she's asleep. She's just sleeping like this. She's wasting her life. "
Angor also noticed this. He planned to give one to Shiliew as soon as possible when the dream wasteland became popular. She was probably the one who needed it the most.
All three of them were doing well. But Shiliew was the only exception. Nausica and Sailum would have a hard time improving themselves. Shiliew, on the other hand, had a lot of problems.
Apart from these three, Angor also paid attention to one other person's record.
It was "Deathflame Witch" Keely.
Keely's record was outstanding. She had fought five matches and won all of them. She was almost certain that she would be one of the top students in the ranking list. She might even make it to the top ten.
Angor didn't pay much attention to the other matches.
Today, however, he came to a match. He wasn't here as a judge, but as a spectator.
Beside him sat Sailum and his brother Lyon, who looked very excited.
Angor had never heard of either side of the match. He was here to help Sailum analyze the contestants.
One of the contestants in this match was Sailum's opponent tomorrow morning.
