Chapter 151 - Your Objection Is Denied!
Tenshi then turned to look at Arthur, with a very mocking expression on his face as he loudly said:
"If you want to admit defeat, make your clan a slave to mine, escape death and save your life then this is the chance to do it. just admit your mistake openly and loudly and ask for forgiveness, and I might be merciful and give you a chance to live!"
These words made Arthur smile, as he moved couple of steps to the front, to stand on equal line with Tenshi, before pointing to Rayan who was standing behind him as he loudly said:
"I\'m glad to fight under the name of sprout elder Rayan against the sprout clan head Tenshi\'s man. Let the best man win."
His words changed everything Tenshi just spoke of, and the presence of Rayan there behind him, as he patted Arthur\'s shoulders, showing his support to him to everyone, was enough evidence on Arthur\'s words.
Simply like that, Arthur had slapped Tenshi in the face, in front of all his clansmen, his elders and his masters. Arthur wasn\'t participating in the fight to be disciplined, he was taking a role here to break Tenshi\'s thorn in front of others, and make everyone see Rayan in new lights.
A man wasn\'t strong with his own powers alone, as the strength of his friends and allies also counted!
"Oho ho, interesting, this kid here is very interesting."
Suddenly Cesila\'s words made everyone look at her with strange eyes, as if she was delusional or something. Arthur had just defied their sacred boy for a loser one, even if the two were from the same clan, their standings weren\'t the same… Their supporters weren\'t equal!
"I apologize for asking, esteemed lady Cesila, but what boy do you mean by your words?" Tenshi\'s father couldn\'t stand this profane act from Arthur and the supporting words of Cesila. Even if she was going to inherit the academy\'s title in the future, he wouldn\'t let her tarnish the reputation of his son, who he believed to inherit the name of his clan in the future.
"The boy your boy is trying to break," Cesila didn\'t find any offense in him jumping over ranks and speaking to her directly, and so, as a very vengeful character, she decided to teach him a lesson, "and if anyone asks for my advice, then you should all bet on that boy, as he will kill that mere toy you are throwing into his face."
Her face was calm, but the weight of her words weren\'t! although he started to despise her, he had to admit that three of the prominent figures here taking note of the same boy wasn\'t something coincidental.
"Treat him the tornador treatment," he didn\'t hesitate to take out one of his bird\'s wings as he wrote this at a hurry, and sent it to his son. "DON\'T KEEP YOUR HAND!" he added in another bird\'s wing to him.
His actions didn\'t pass unnoticed from many, but no one even spoke a word. Most of the people here already belonged to his son\'s faction, and the rest wouldn\'t speak in the presence of their clan head and the great elder, who both took note of what just happened.
"It\'s a harsh move against that boy," Obrim jokingly said to Cesila who chuckled as she replied:
"If he was a real gold then he would shine."
He and Edmory glanced silently at each other, with a well known look over their faces. She was so harsh and pushed Tenshi\'s father to ask his son to go to such lengths, just to test Arthur.
As for Arthur, he stood there and was ready to set foot on the battling stage when he noticed two subsequent bird\'s wings had arrived at Tenshi, making his face change color at once. He turned to look at him, with some disbelief in his eyes, which made Arthur wonder who sent these two messages, and what was written inside them.
"Go and activate the stage," Tenshi suddenly said, which made all the present feel somehow strange towards his words, all except Arthur and his group watching from down there, "let the setting be a total confrontation," he added, making the face of Rayan change, as he hurriedly said:
"This wasn\'t in the rules of challenge between the two of them, I object!"
Just as Tenshi was about to respond, the reply came faster from down there, as the well known, very loud and proud voice of Obrim rang in the whole place, "Objection denied, the setting is approved upon by me."
Rayan\'s face showed a very fearful reaction, as he never thought his clan head would align himself with Tenshi\'s dirty play, not in public like that. Rayan hurriedly glanced at Arthur as the latter said, jokingly, trying to understand what was going on:
"Am I going to die?"
"Well, you can be so close from that," Rayan knew Arthur was joking, but he was speaking serious, as he added, "the total confrontation means that any participant can ask for help from his subordinates, even an entire clan perhaps, as long as they were present here at this moment."
Arthur understood the meaning of Rayan, and this proved to be a nuisance for him. He planned on transforming into a dragon, but he knew after doing so he wouldn\'t be able to fight for a whole hour at least!
\'I need to find a way to solve this weakness problem now, or to push this clown to summon all his subordinates early on,\' he thought to himself, as these were the two possible solutions presented to him.
"What if I killed this clown from the beginning?" Arthur suddenly pointed to Rodrig as he asked Rayan loud enough to be heard by everyone.
Rodrig was already confused about the decision of his master, but when the clan head supported this, he didn\'t have any room to object here. just before Arthur spoke these words, Tenshi grabbed his arm, firmly threatening him by saying:
"If you fail, I will personally slaughter every man woman and child in your clan!"
Rodrig had been alongside Tenshi for years, and if he knew something for granted about his master, it was he never took his threats for play or joke! If Tenshi threatened to do it, then Tenshi would do it no matter what cost he had to pay!
As Arthur spoke up, Tenshi tightened his grip over Rodrig\'s arm, while his eyes showed how determinant he was, before replying:
"He will summon all his team from the beginning, what about you? Who are you going to summon?"
Tenshi just replied with the satisfying answer Arthur wanted to hear.. If not for fear that he would be suspicious, he would have heaved a long sigh of relief.
