Chapter 120
120 Chapter 120: Substituting Contestants
“No! They are not fighting!” Kevin said as he approached the two contestants.
Everyone’s gaze fell toward the back as they heard someone talk. Most of them recognized him at once as they saw him. He was the one who claimed Azura to be his maid.
What is he doing?
Why is he trying to stop the fight?
Did the maid really cheat?
Lots of questions ran through the mind of the students and the two deans as they saw Kevin oppose the fight all of a sudden.
Sophia creased her brows slightly as she watched Kevin walk forward.
“What are you trying to do Kevin?” Lexa who knew nothing about the new harem’s wife asked.
She was wondering why Kevin was so obsessed with helping the girl so badly.
.....
From a different point in the hall, Graham who was taking a nap and not bothered by what was happening around was jolted awake by his men. They called for his attention since Kevin concerned them greatly.
“What is that brat up to?” Graham said as he cleaned his red sleepy eyes.
Once Kevin was standing between the two contestants, Sophia proceeded on asking Kevin questions.
She wanted to know the reason why he stopped the fight between the two students from taking place.
“Can you explain why you said the two students shouldn’t fight?” Sophia said.
Kevin breathed deeply before replying.
“Since everyone is anticipating to watch this match, I will go straight to the point,” Kevin said. “I want to substitute with Azura.”
Everyone was silent for a few seconds until Sophia started laughing hysterically.
“You’re joking, right? Why? Why would you come to such a conclusion?” Sophia asked with a sinister smile.
“What is your name, young boy?” Pretta inquired and Kevin unhesitatingly replied.
Sophia scoffed at Pretta’s sudden interruption. It does seem like Pretta was for real when she said Sophia won’t stop her from talking when she’s meant to talk.
“You said you want a substitution with Azura, can we know the reason why?” Pretta gently asked.
Even if the other person doesn’t want to answer any question before, with Pretta’s gentle words, she was able to persuade the person to talk.
“Normally, the fight was meant to be mine in the first place, but my maid said she would fight in my place for the first fight. But now, I’m denying my maid from fighting this round. I... will fight in this round. So, whatever allegations or doubt you have about my maid should be placed on me from this moment. Yes, my maid is strong and I’m sure she didn’t cheat.” Kevin said.
“If you still don’t believe, then let me and this elf over here, have a round of fight, if I win, Azura will be free from every allegation. But if I don’t, then punish me and her as you see fit. I hope that answers your questions, dean Sophia.” Kevin finalized his speech with a smirk.
‘I must commend you, Kevin, you’re getting wiser by the day. That’s a very convincing statement you uttered.’ The system praised Kevin and he only muttered a gentle smile at the system’s words.
Sophia’s eyes twitched slightly as she heard Kevin’s statement and words. It was understandable by everyone but Sophia was trying to act connivingly.
“I don’t understand you Ke-Vin.” She made sure the prefixes and suffixes of Kevin’s name sounded out clearly. She called out his name with a tone that seems to be mocking him.
“I can’t let you substitute with Azura, she-”
“Why can’t he substitute with her?” Pretta interrupted Sophia again. “You switched Jeri for Max and now you’re claiming you can’t let the school of light switch. Does that seem fair,”
At that moment, the students from the school of light started murmuring among each other. Some were even chanting for the contestants to be changed.
Graham laughed amusingly as he watched the drama between Kevin, the two deans, and the students.
“This is getting so much fun. Sophia would agree to it anyway. The question is will Kevin be able to win against the dark elf.” Graham said.
He turned to his men and started speaking. “I want you to watch him carefully. If you suspect anything odd, inform me immediately. If he wins against Max, then it must mean he has something to do with Matt’s death.” Graham said as he sat comfortably in his seat.
“Okay, suit yourself. You guys can substitute, if you win, I’m letting you and the female elf go free but if you don’t, I’ll be sure to punish you guys so well.” Sophia said.
‘What if I tell you I was the prince, what will you do to me then, kill me?’ Kevin said within himself as he glared hatefully at Sophia. If not because she was Jeri’s mother, he would make her face a very difficult time in school.
With his newly gotten magic, he could send multiple beasts flooding her office, destroying and damaging all of her things.
But that doesn’t mean he can’t teach Sophia a lesson. He hated her and she also hated him. It would be a surprise to her if she gets to know that he was the husband of her daughter.
It was evident she would go against it since they are from different races. A Dark Fairy and a light Elf can’t be together is what she’ll claim once she knows.
Although Kevin has no plan of telling any of the girls’ parents for now, not until he’s known to everyone as the Triling.
“Apart from letting the two go free, ensure you fulfill your promise, you know what will happen if you don’t.” Pretta reminded Sophia once again.
“Shut it, traitor, I’ve had enough of your talks.” Sophia faced the new contestants to give an announcement.
“Master, will you be fine with this?” Azura said as she hold Kevin’s hands in hers.
“Yeah, I’ll be fine dear. Go, sit somewhere close to the females, the males will do what I explained to you back then without mercy if you sit beside them.” Kevin persuaded and Azura nodded her head before searching for the perfect place to sit in.
“And let the match begin!”
