Chapter 231 - Mike is Late
Chapter 231: Mike is Late
After Mike had returned to his bedroom, he quickly fell asleep.
After a long time, Mike finally woke up in a daze.
He opened his eyes and looked at Lilian, who was sitting on top of him, and asked her, “Why are you here?”
When she asked Mike’s, Lilian immediately said to him.
“Mike! Do you know how long you have slept? You’re going to be late!”
“Late?”
Mike asked in some confusion.
Lilian looked at Mike, who was acting as if he did not know anything, and immediately said to Mike.
“Yeah! For the freshmen trials! Did you forget?”
After Mike heard that, he immediately started to tidy his clothes.
“Hurry up! The competition is about to start!”
Lilian said urgently to Mike again.
“I got it!”
Then, hand in hand, the two of them rushed to the trial arena.
When they arrived at the arena, the host had just happened to read Mike’s name.
“Next, let us welcome the final glory of our Law Faculty, Mike!”
The host looked around but did not find Mike.
So, he repeated it.
“Let us welcome our next contestant, Mike!”
However, Mike still did not appear.
Just when the host, all the teachers, and students were starting to wonder about his absence, a familiar voice came from the east gate of the arena.
“Here! Mike is here!”
Mike and Lilian were seen rushing to the arena in disheveled clothes.
When the crowd saw the two of them, everyone started to discuss their appearance.
“How come Mike and Lilian are dressed like this? And why are they so late? What were they up to last night?”
“Yeah, it’s strange to me, but didn’t Mike say something about Senior Jasmine yesterday? Hasn’t he only known Lilian recently?”
“In my opinion, Senior Jasmine is the one that met recently. I heard that Mike and Lilian have known each other since before they entered the school!”
“No, my Lord Mike, I won’t allow you to be snatched away by other women!”
Hearing the discussions of these people, Mike and Lilian lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Mike walked to the center of the arena, next to the host, as he was being discussed by the crowd.
Lilian also walked to the stands in embarrassment.
“Okay, all the contestants for today’s competition have arrived. Now, Let’s start the competition for the top ten amongst the top twenty for the third day of the freshmen trial!”
Then, just like the day before, a piece of cloth fell from the mast in the center of the arena.
It listed the order of today’s competition and the competition schedule.
Today, Mike was matched up with a boy from the Summoning Faculty who had won third place in the infighting stage.
Mike’s match was ranked behind Rowan and Serena.
After a brief wait, Mike finally went on to the field, as the boy from the Summoning Faculty also walked to the opposite side of Mike in the arena.
The familiar gong sound rang out.
The battle between the two sides began.
Mike easily leaped into the air.
He came directly to the back of the boy before skillfully pulling out his magic sword.
Countless sword qi once again circulated around the entire magic sword.
The fierce sword qi then attacked.
The boy from the Summoning Faculty was completely unable to parry it and was forced to accept Mike’s fierce attack.
Suddenly, a tall gorilla appeared in the arena.
It was obvious that this had been summoned by the male student.
Mike looked at this gorilla, and could not help but give a silent sigh.
“This kind of creature that only knows how to use brute force, I’m afraid its strength isn’t even comparable to Tyrone’s!”
Mike directly faced the gorilla’s sudden face attack.
The gorilla was mercilessly torn to pieces as the sword qi ran through it.
Because he had studied the system notification the whole night before, Mike was currently physically and mentally exhausted.
All he wanted was just to end the match as soon as possible and go back to rest.
Just as the gorilla was torn to pieces, another brilliant heavenly fire appeared in the sky.
Like a meteor falling, countless heavenly fires started hurtling towards the trial arena.
The youth from the Summoning Faculty had no time to dodge.
After a few meaningless maneuvers, he was finally hit by the falling heavenly flames and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the youth had lost consciousness, Mike also withdrew his spell.
The referee announced, “Congratulations to Mike from the Law Faculty for entering the Top Ten among the new students!”
The arena erupted with countless roars from the spectators.
However, Mike was completely unconcerned about this at the moment.
All he wanted was to lie down on the bed and rest for a while.
Mike walked directly into the lounge and heavily lay down on the bench in the lounge.
Just as Mike was about to close his eyes, he saw Serena walking towards him.
A bottle of black medicine was tossed by Serena to Mike’s side.
When he saw that Serena had done this, Mike asked.
“What do you mean by this?”
Serena replied, “It’s not bad for you. You can drink it to help you relieve the sleepiness.”
Mike drank it with some doubt after hearing Serena’s answer.
Sure enough, his sleepiness gradually dissipated.
“Why are you helping me?”
Mike continued to ask.
Serena glanced at Mike and said, “Because we have a common enemy, right?”
Hearing this, Mike instantly became interested.
“Do you mean Rowan!”
“That’s right!”
Serena laughed.
“I have a sure-fire method that can help you defeat him, but you have to give me your first place reward!”
Serena said.
“However, I will not mistreat you. I’ll give you a large sum of money in exchange. What do you think?”
Mike smiled and replied, “Sorry, I’m not interested in money.”
After Mike said that, he turned around and was about to leave.
However, Serena called out anxiously.
“Mike! You mustn’t regret it!”
Mike walked out of the lounge.
He could not stop thinking about what Serena had just said.
“It seems that Serena seems to know a lot about the freshmen trial rewards!”
Even as he was still pondering this, the five matches in the Top 20 and Top 10 had all ended.
The Top 10 that were produced now were all first-class experts.
As for those who had been lucky enough to get into the Top 20, how could they be the opponents of these people?
The host spoke again.
“Now, let us begin the competition of determining the Top 10 to 5!”
“First, let us welcome Mike from the Law Faculty!”
“Mike’s opponent for this round is the person in second place from the Close Combat Faculty, Jasco!”
Hearing the name Jasco, Mike was a little stunned.
Only then did he remember that the red-haired youth in front of him was the one who had gotten first place on the day of the mountain climbing trial.
