Chapter 73 Part 2: Master Karoso’s Weakness (2)

Clap, clap…

The warriors from Marl Academy all looked tired, as if their feet were heavy like lead.

The students from Avalon Academy were fine, as their school focuses on Elemental Mages, with warriors playing a supporting role.

On the other hand, the students from Bear Academy were all full of confidence and vigor.

"Alright, everyone please line up… huh?" The prince noticed Karoso in the lineup and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Karoso, a Card Maker, sneaked into the warriors’ gathering?

The prince’s gaze fell on the gatekeeper, who looked innocent and shrugged helplessly.

Technically, only students from Warrior Academy are allowed to participate, but Karoso challenged the arena!

Being the only one who can match Teresa’s skills in the arena, he had every right to enter.

It can only be said that there was a tiny glitch in the entry rules, but everything still worked fine.

The prince didn’t say much. When those third-tier warriors saw Karoso, they all looked intimidated.

"Ahem, alright, let the formal exchange begin. Please feel free to speak, our teacher will answer your questions." The prince pointed to some desks and chairs prepared for the students on the platform.

Instead of going to the Warrior Academy side, Karoso sat next to Teresa.

Seeing Karoso coming over, many students from the Bear Academy couldn’t help themselves.

"May I ask, Classmate Karoso, why do you have the imprint of the God of War but still want to be a Card Maker?" The bear student was puzzled. "If you were to become a warrior, wouldn’t you have a better future?"

"I just like it," Karoso replied.

"But, this is disappointing the expectations of the God of War!" The bear student felt a bit indignant for the warriors. "If you think Marl Academy’s teachings are not good enough, you can come to our Bear Academy. Our mechanical studies and warrior training are undoubtedly top-notch in the world!"

The prince was starting to feel uneasy.

Gosh, is this Bear Academy trying to cause trouble? Is this straightforward behavior? Isn’t it thoughtless?

"This student, Marl Academy is the top school in the Kingdom of Persia, they spare no effort in cultivating all students." The prince spoke, "As for Classmate Karoso’s choice of being a Card Maker instead of a warrior… I believe it’s not because of bravery, he dared to challenge a fourth-tier warrior right when he entered school, and even entered a third-tier random dungeon."

"As for the exact reason, you’ll have to ask him."

"I believe this is definitely not a problem with the school."

When the topic of challenging fourth-tier arose, many people looked at Carrey.

Carrey’s face turned as dark as a pot bottom, every time this was brought up, he felt persecuted.

"There is not just one God of War, there are many Favored Ones too." Karoso spoke, "But my mental strength is the best within three hundred years, for a Card Maker, this is an unparalleled gift."

"Your talent could also be an Elemental Mage." A student from Avalon Academy said, "Why choose to be a Card Maker?"

Karoso was a bit puzzled, are these people crazy? I came to hear about your battle experiences, not to share my thoughts.

"Because the tuition fees for an Elemental Mage are too high, so I gave up my learning opportunity to my younger sister." Karoso said.

The students all started laughing.

Karoso’s family is very rich, everyone at the scene knows that.

No other noble’s son is as flashy as Karoso.

Karoso not only runs the most profitable family business, but his own Pastor Card business also makes a lot of money.

To put it bluntly, Karoso can afford the expenses of two Elemental Mages even without his family’s support.

"Are you joking?" frowned the student from Avalon Academy.

"At a warrior exchange meeting, instead of discussing battle experiences, we’re talking about my gossip. You started the joke," said Karoso. "I didn’t choose the profession of a warrior, but I undeniably resemble a warrior more than those who care about this strange issue."

"Even if I don’t have the warrior’s Professional Mark, the mark of the God of War can help me make up for this deficiency."

"As a Card Maker, I can use all warrior cards without relying on the Professional Mark to activate them."

"I don’t need anyone to worry about my future."

The people present saw that Karoso didn’t want to talk more and didn’t continue to argue.

"Alright, then I will share my combat experience first." A student from Bear Academy stood up and said, "The biggest lesson I learned from this exchange event is… our different fighting styles."

"I’ve noticed that many people are disrespecting the warrior profession. Warriors are fearless, in terms of exchanging injuries other students from the two other academies can’t even meet the minimum standards of our academy. We are warriors, lions on the battlefield, aiming to kill the opponent. What’s the difference between fearing injury and being a mere fish?"

Karoso nodded in agreement.

"No, that’s not correct." A student from Avalon Academy stood up and said, "Protecting oneself and then defeating the opponent, that’s elegant combat."

"The battlefield doesn’t require elegance." Teresa placed her hands behind her back, her long legs directly on the table. "If you are all willing to fight me with all your might, I believe you can still make me use a few professional cards."

"This is a combat exchange, not fighting desperately on the battlefield. If it’s on the battlefield, I believe I can do it." The student from Avalon Academy retorted.

Teresa chuckled, looking disdainful, "You don’t even dare to shed blood normally, expecting to grow up in a second on the battlefield. Are you a protagonist in a novel?"

"I have the courage, I just don’t think it’s worth it!" argued a student from Avalon Academy.

"Forget it, I won’t tell you this, it’s boring," Teresa sat up straight, "Since Karoso is here, let him hear something truly useful."

"Karoso, did you notice something in our battle?"

"What problem?" Karoso asked curiously.

"You use your warrior skills cards smoothly, with good timing, and you are strong yourself, that’s why you are the only one who can match me…" Teresa said seriously, "But, I think you can beat me."

"Huh?" Karoso was surprised.

Teresa, like Karoso, was a very proud person.

At the same time, both of them were also very practical people.

Karoso and Teresa both acknowledged others’ strength.

"Do you know why you can’t beat me?" Teresa asked.

Karoso shook his head.

In the eyes of bullet comment, Karoso is expected to overpower Teresa in the future.

However, Karoso currently doesn’t feel capable of overpowering Teresa.

Considering their current growth trajectories, Karoso finds it difficult to imagine surpassing her by much.

"You lack emotion," Teresa said seriously. "I’ve noticed that you are very calm, almost like a cold machine. Even if we were to fight, you would be calculating the trajectory and force of every punch."

"Is being calm wrong?" Karoso asked puzzled. "In battle, only by staying absolutely calm can one find a chance to win. Anger can lead to vulnerabilities in your actions. Facing a powerful enemy, if they seize on my vulnerability, I would be the one losing."

"In theory, being calm is correct," Teresa said. "But if you’ve never been angry, never let your emotions take over, how would you know what strength emotions can provide? You haven’t even experienced that continuous flow of power, the feeling of wanting to release it all."

"It’s still the same issue, anger will expose my weaknesses," Karoso frowned.

"Maybe the mistakes that make you angry are actually good for you. You haven’t discovered all your potential yet."
