Chapter 823
Against everyone’s expectations, Chuck won! He actually won! No one would have anticipated this outcome! Hubert, who was so powerful, lost to Chuck, an inexperienced nobody! The entire arena was completely silent for a minute!
”Who would have expected that he would win this year’s freshmen competition! How can this be? He didn’t look the part! How?” Miss Scarlet muttered to herself. She also had not seen this coming. However, she suddenly thought of an incident. Previously when Chuck had sought her out, he seemed to have mentioned that he was someone’s son. Who was it again? For a moment, Miss Scarlet’s beautiful eyes were glowing with interest.
”Chuck? He actually won!” Liliana’s eyes were wide open in disbelief! Chuck, whom she did not think highly of, had veritably won the competition this time! It was hard to express what she felt. It felt almost like a dream!
Gaige had a vicious look in his eyes. “He hid his skills ever so secretively! Could it be him who had knocked me out previously?” He had thought it was Hubert! But now that Chuck had defeated Hubert, it was more likely that Chuck was the person who had knocked him out that night.
”Gaige, did you see that? Chuck won. He’s one of our students. The glory is ours now!” Liliana smiled gently. In that split second, she no longer felt that Chuck was annoying.
”Tessa, did you see that? Chuck defeated Hubert!” The girls were in a state of shock! Tessa was momentarily dazed. “Is he… is he really the person who saved me?” And the girls began to exchange glances! ”He definitely has the capability to save you. But why did he run away when he saw Miss Liliana in danger?”
”Perhaps there is a conflict between Chuck and Miss Liliana, therefore he did not save her?”
”Oh, it’s possible! Tessa, Chuck is really strong. It might really be him who sacrificed himself to lure the bear away from you!” Tessa blinked and thought, ”Was he really the one who had saved me?”
Chuck said ”Is there anyone who wants to challenge me? Come on up!” Chuck’s voice rang loud and clear. It resounded in every one of those freshmen’s ears. No one dared to rise to the challenge. Even their breathing seemed to have come to a standstill. It was because the battle earlier had left them completely shaken!
”No one?” Chuck shrugged. No one answered! No one dared to answer! They realized that the person who had defeated Hubert possessed an overwhelming strength.
”Miss Scarlet! Looks like you can officially announce the result now,” Chuck said.
”Hm? Ahh, yes, of course!” Miss Scarlett was stunned, but she came back to her senses and announced loudly, “Hubert is defeated! The champion of this freshman competition is Chuck Cannon, a student under Miss Liliana!”
Woohoo! The crowd began to cheer loudly! Yes, Chuck deserved the title of champion! Chuck shrugged and said, ”Then can I make a request?”
”Since you’re the champion, of course, you can!”
”He’s my student!” Liliana’s name was mentioned by Miss Scarlet. She was so excited to receive such an honorable mention!
”Miss Liliana is truly an outstanding coach! She trained such a talented student!” Other coaches praised her in admiration.
”Alas, why can’t I have such a strong student under my tutelage! I’m so jealous of her!”
Liliana’s heart was buoyant with pride! It had been a long time since something like this had occurred! Her combat talents were ordinary. The reason why she was able to be appointed a Wolfen Sect coach was because the Wolfen Sect appreciated her diligence. She had always been unknown in the Wolfen Sect, but finally, Chuck had made her proud! For the first time, she was the subject of other’s envy! It was the first time that she was the focus of everyone’s attention! This glory was given to her by Chuck! The more Liliana looked at Chuck, the more she found him extremely pleasing to behold!
“Well, Coach Liliana, since you’re Chuck’s coach, you should come up to the ring too! You can also make a request!” Miss Scarlett said. And so, Liliana could not wait to dash up the ring!
“Chuck, congratulations on winning first place! You deserve it!” Liliana smiled brightly. But, Chuck merely shrugged.
“As your coach, I sincerely hope you will get better and stronger! Worry not, I’ll continue to coach you in a stricter manner!”
Chuck still continued shrugging.
“Of course, I’m not that unreasonable. Now that you’ve won first place, I’ll give you three days of break. You’re free to do whatever you want in the next three days,” Liliana said with a faint smile. Again, Chuck merely shrugged and smiled.
Liliana finally felt relieved and realized that Chuck was actually easy to get along with. In future, she should be stricter with him. However, she could not be too overboard with it either. It would be better to employ an on-and-off approach. In Liliana’s heart, she had already devised the training courses for Chuck.
“Miss Liliana, as his coach, you can make the request first!” Miss Scarlett reminded Liliana.
“I…” Liliana had never thought about this! Because she did not expect that Chuck, whom she did not hold in high regard, would actually win.
”Could you give me some time to think about it? Chuck, you can go ahead with your request first!” Liliana smiled slightly.
”Are you sure?” Chuck asked with a smile.
”Of course, I have not decided yet,” Liliana said.
Chuck then continued unabashedly, ”Well, Miss Scarlett, I can request anything, right?”
”Yes, you can request for anything that is within the capability of the Wolfen Sect!” Miss Scarlett said. This had been the rule of the Wolfen Sect for many years.
”For example, Karen Lee, one of the strongest freshmen in the Wolfen Sect’s history, had proposed a request that was within the Wolfen Sect’s capability. I’m sure you have not heard of her name before…” Miss Scarlett recalled.
”What… What request did she make?” Chuck wanted to know. At that time, what request had his mother made when she had been a freshman?
”However, it seems that her request is still unused until this day.”
”Her request is still unused?” Chuck was stunned. Her request from 20 years ago was still unused?
”Indeed. Karen’s request was that, whenever she needed it, all personnel from the Wolfen Sect should help her, at least once!” Miss Scarlett explained, but also seemed very puzzled. This request had been issued 20 years ago, but Karen still had not used it until this day! The higher management of the Wolfen Sect assumed that Karen had no need for this request anymore!
Chuck was stunned. His mother had suggested such a request? At this moment, Chuck truly admired Karen’s intelligence. Twenty years ago, she had already been so foresighted!
Chuck was enlightened now. Karen’s twenty years of development had resulted in the woman she was today. She really was foresighted! Karen had achieved all she had at present clearly because of her strategic foresight!
”You can also make similar requests. But of course, it’s just a suggestion.”
”It’s alright, my mot…” Chuck stopped and shrugged. Since Karen had already requested it, what was the point of repeating it again?
”Okay. So, what is your request?” Liliana’s eyes flashed with interest. What kind of request would Chuck put forth?
”Could it be that he would request for me to be his coach forever?” she wondered. Liliana was very excited and her mind began to churn up unfounded speculations.
”I…” Chuck shrugged. ”I want you to be my coach!”
