Chapter 26: Mike, It’s Mike Again!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The people were waiting to see Mike lose, but instead, they waited to see a Poison Arrow instantly kill Mike’s opponent!

That was normal as Mike was over Level 30.

He had fused the strength of his main body, together with the medal and level attribute enhancement, the Zero skill which increased 50% of the skill’s effect… All the advantages had been added together in this current body.

In fact, if his skills did not instantly kill him, that would be abnormal.

Many people started having interesting expressions. Just a moment ago, they thought that Mike voluntarily giving up on summoning the undead was a stupid thing to do.

“I suddenly feel that… It’s better not to judge people named Mike with common sense.”

“No matter which Mike it is, they are all the same.”

They were reminded even more of Mike from the World Channel. He had rejected the invitations from the various palaces and was banned, which made everyone think that his future was over. Yet, he ended up being the first in the entire server to not only complete but perfectly clear the Silver-Tier dungeon, Scarlet Church.

Every single time, they were all slapped in the face by someone called Mike.

The person in front of them was equally unbelievable.

At the top of a tall building, the middle-aged man was in a daze. He then looked at the old man and realized that the old man had a look of someone who already expected this on his face. The middle-aged man realized that he was still too young to know better.

“I’ve underestimated him…” the middle-aged man had no choice but to admit.

The old man maintained his smile. “Go and invite him here.”

The middle-aged man nodded.

He went down and walked onto the stage.

Most people didn’t know the middle-aged man, but the higher-ups of Tyrone Academy and the admissions staff of the various advanced academies were all shocked.

They dropped everything and hurried towards him.

“Mr. Caesar!”

“Mr. Caesar, why are you here?”

“Mr. Caesar, are you also interested in such small matters?”

The dean of Tyrone Academy was standing slightly behind him, that was because the admissions staff of the advanced academies had a higher status than him.

All of them were fawning over Caesar at the front while the others hovered behind.

“I’m interested in a student, so I came to talk to him,” said the middle-aged man named Caesar.

“What?”

Everyone exclaimed.

Caesar, interested in a student?

He must have come to Ledda City to just look around, since he didn’t even come to the scene to watch the battle. It was obvious that he was just bored and wasn’t paying much attention to it.

But in the end, he actually had an interest!

But in who?

“Mr. Caesar, I know who you’re talking about!” Dean Tyrone said at this moment, “I’ll bring him here.”

“Okay.” Caesar nodded.

He hurriedly went to look for Freddy.

Who else could Cesar be interested in?

It must be Freddy!

He was the genius who was almost the first to clear the Scarlet Church dungeon and was actually good enough to compete with Mike.

In fact, this was all wishful thinking.

Freddy could clear the dungeon, but his level of clearing was at most at A-Rank. It was just that Freddy had fantasized about it while he had been clearing the dungeon.

In reality, Freddy had retreated after defeating the undead king.

If Mike had retreated at the same place Freddy did, he would come out and see Freddy in the wilderness of the Scarlet Church, grinding rotten zombies. He wasn’t even anywhere near the church.

“Freddy, Freddy!” The dean rushed over excitedly.

“Dean.” Freddy stood up.

The dean said excitedly, “You’re in luck! Did you know? Just now, a high-ranking authoritative figure was interested in you and wanted to see you!”

“An authoritative figure? Who is it?” Freddy was wondering which advanced academy the person was from.

“It’s the head of The Heavenly King’s Palace’s Northern Branch and vice head of the Northern Headquarters, Lord Caesar!” Dean Tyrone said excitedly.

“What?” Freddy was shocked.

What was the concept of the Northern Branch?

One had to perform very well in their advanced academy to be able to join the Northern Branch.

Plus, Caesar was the vice head of the Northern Headquarters. Only those who performed extremely well in the branch could enter the Northern Headquarters.

It could be said if you were able to catch Caesar’s eyes, the door to the Northern Headquarters would be opened by a crack! That was equivalent to a meteoric rise. Freddy’s future was bright!!

“I’ve finally been discovered? Hehe, that’s true.”

Freddy licked his lips excitedly and said, “With my talent, it’s normal for me to be noticed. I should be able to bypass the advanced academies and directly enter the Northern Branch, then the Northern Headquarters, and finally even the Heavenly King’s Palace’s headquarters!”

“Tyrone Academy is happy to have a genius like you!” The dean said with a smile.

He hurriedly returned to Caesar’s side.

“Lord Caesar.” He said with a smile still on his face, “I’ve brought him.”

The gazes of the entire crowd gathered over.

During this period of time, everyone had inquired about what was going on. It turned out that an important figure of the Palace of the Heavenly King was actually interested in a student and wanted to favor him.

Everyone was waiting to see who the genius was, and then, the genius himself appeared.

Freddy.

Everyone nodded without surprise.

“It really is Freddy.”

“Only he can have such talent.”

“He is undisputedly the strongest in Tyrone Academy.”

Freddy enjoyed the attention from everyone. He smiled faintly as he basked in everyone’s envy and attention.

“Hello, Lord Caesar. You are right to value me, I will never let you down.” Freddy came over and bowed.

The crowd got even more envious.

“He’s too gentlemanly.”

“Is this the way a genius communicates with a higher up?”

“He’s so high-class.”

“I’m envious.”

The admissions staff of the advanced academies were also envious.

Lucky little guy.

From now on, his future would be boundless. They believed that it wouldn’t be long before Freddy would be of equal status to them.

However.

“You’re not the one I wanted to see.”

Caesar’s one sentence mercilessly broke the atmosphere. It also broke Freddy’s dream.

Everyone froze on the spot. They didn’t know what to do.

The dean broke out in a cold sweat… He didn’t want to see Freddy? That means he had misunderstood… It was over… The dean despaired.

Freddy was dumbfounded.

“N-Not me?” Freddy was stunned.

He couldn’t accept it.

It wasn’t because the dean had misunderstood, it was because Freddy didn’t understand.

Since Caesar was indeed interested in one of the students here, if it was not Freddy, who else could it be?

Everyone else thought so, and Freddy naturally thought so too.

In his opinion, he was worthy of being the number one person from Tyrone Academy! The type that couldn’t be provoked!

“Lord Caesar, may I know who is it you wish to see? As far as I know, no one in the entire academy is better than me. I haven’t even seen someone who has reached 80% of my standards!” Freddy said.

The others nodded in agreement, that was indeed the case.

Caesar did not speak. Instead, he looked in a certain direction. That place was empty.

There was no one there.

However, everyone was shocked. That place…

Wasn’t that the place where Mike had fought just now?

Mike’s battle had ended, and then Lord Caesar had appeared.

Many people’s hearts sank.

Could it be… that the person Lord Caesar wanted to see was Mike?? That newcomer?

Although Mike was very strong and proved that he had the strength, he shouldn’t be able to be compared to Freddy, right??

“Mr. Caesar, did you want to meet Mike?” The dean asked hurriedly.

“Bring him to me, I’ll talk to him,” Caesar said.

“D*mn it!”

Freddy clenched his fists.

Mike.

It was Mike again!!

That Mike from before had snatched his first clear of the Scarlet Church dungeon record, and that same Mike had caught Caesar’s eyes.

He didn’t value Freddy, but valued Mike instead?

Freddy’s eyes were about to bleed from the vicious glare he had on his face.
