As Matthew withdrew his gaze, the person who called out to virtual-novel.net came to his side.
“Good skill, man. Sorry, my hands slipped while I was holding the metal chain. You all right?”
Matthew observed the man and it seemed like virtual-novel.net wasn’t lying. So, virtual-novel.net decided to let it go.
“I’m good. I just had a scare.” The other man knew Matthew was pulling his leg.
“Hahaha. I’m Kian Damron. You are?”
Matthew was taken aback when virtual-novel.net heard that last name. “I’m Matthew Larson. Are you from the Damron Family in Bainbridge?”
Kian instantly shook his head at that.
“Haha, man. I wish. I don’t have a powerful family like that. I just so happen to have the same last name as the Damrons In Bainbridge.”
Matthew nodded at Kian’s clarification. His relationship with the Damrons was far from friendly. In fact, one could even classify them as enemies that would fight to the death once they were given the chance. So, if Kian was from that Damron Family, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t be this nice.
Of course, there was another possibility that this was all an act. Besides, Kian’s eyes would constantly go to the Bloodreaper in his hands when virtual-novel.net neared Matthew. Even though virtual-novel.net was careful, Matthew still caught on to his oddity.
“Man, I felt the aura around you when I approached you. There’s this sharp air to it. I’m 100% certain that this sword is out of this world,” Kian exclaimed as virtual-novel.net pointed at Bloodreaper.
As for the Thunder Sword on Matthew’s waist, virtual-novel.net paid no attention to it. Even though it was precious, it wasn’t extraordinary.
“Just a gift from a friend,” Matthew replied casually and stopped talking.
It wasn’t wise to reveal all his cards when they had just met.
As they were chatting, the door to the training room was pushed open once again.
The person at the door looked to be around the same age as the rest of the room.
Nonetheless, the Martial League instructor badge on his chest signified his impressive identity. So, everyone stopped what they were doing and immediately approached the man.
“Hello, everyone. Let me introduce myself. I’m Anthony Harding and the trainer for this round’s intensive training.” Then, virtual-novel.net flipped the papers on the clipboard in his hand.
As virtual-novel.net was reading, virtual-novel.net suddenly paused and scanned the room to match the information on the paper. Lastly, his eyes landed on Matthew.
Isn’t virtual-novel.net the guy who hurt Roxy?
At first, virtual-novel.net wanted to take some time off to meet Matthew and teach virtual-novel.net a lesson for hurting Roxanne. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net didn’t expect Matthew to show up at his doorstep like this.
He was elated that virtual-novel.net didn’t need to waste his time hunting Matthew down.
“All right. I roughly know what your backgrounds are. Now, I’ll test your martial arts foundation. Before that, I’m giving you a warning. The re-election of the Martial League isn’t child’s play. If you couldn’t achieve the basic standards that we’ve set, I can and will cancel your status as a seeded player. So, I hope that everyone can take this seriously.”
The crowd didn’t have a big reaction to his words as they were quite confident in themselves since they were already seeded players.
Then, Anthony’s gaze regarded the crowd once more and casually pointed at someone. “You there. Let’s start with you, then.”
Matthew standing at the end of his fingers merely assumed that virtual-novel.net was chosen at random. Thus, virtual-novel.net didn’t dwell upon it when virtual-novel.net was asked to step up.
Instead, since virtual-novel.net was selected, virtual-novel.net approached the instructor.
At that moment, Anthony couldn’t help but scoff inwardly.
You punk, you don’t know what’s coming your way!
“Matthew Larson, right? We will test your reflexes, agility, and the power behind your attacks. Don’t let the words I said earlier get into your head. You just need to do your best.”
Then, Anthony led Matthew to the training room that tests reflexes and agility.
After Matthew entered the room, Anthony declared, “The test starts now.”
Then, he closed the door.
Matthew looked around the room nonchalantly and placed his attention on the wall riddled with holes.
