Levi’s remark infuriated them, making their blood boil. What? We’re not even comparable to a bunch of cripples? Argh! This is an intolerable insult!
“You’ll have an opportunity for a match, but not now,” Levi drawled. “Haha…” Peals of laughter echoed in the air.
“What a blatant lie!” “That group of cripples can’t practice martial arts for the rest of their lives, and that’s an irreversible fact. Thus, improvement is impossible!”
“You should find a better excuse even if you wanted to demoralize us, Levi!” When they heard that Levi couldn’t arrange for a match, they all cracked up. All of them felt that he was undoubtedly joking.
“Levi, you must apologize to us and Mr. Jourdain!” Xaire Severin—the strongest among the disciples—thundered.
“Exactly! You owe Mr. Jourdain and us an apology!” everyone roared, persistent and determined.
It was as though Levi wouldn’t be able to walk out of there alive unless he apologized.
In no time, the commotion there attracted the attention of the three other instructors as well as Darian Reiner—the person in charge of Hidden Dragon.
All of them hurried over, one after another.
“What happened? What’s wrong here?” they all demanded at once.
The crowd then explained the incident earlier to Filipe and the others.
“What? I’ve never seen the world? Haha…” Filipe guffawed.
Likewise, Luther burst into raucous laughter.
Haha… Our capabilities have always been top-notch in the world! How could we have not seen the world?
Shooting daggers at Levi, Filipe sneered, “I dare say that this batch of disciples has the most rapid progress I’ve seen, so there can’t be anyone else faster than them!”
“Indeed. This rate of improvement is unprecedented!” Darian, Collin, and Luther seconded.
Such rapid progress further affirmed their faith in Filipe’s training plan.
With that training plan, they could definitely cultivate new Crown Kings.
To top it off, it might not only be three Crown Kings, but even ten.
That, in turn, gave the Dragonites hope.
They felt that it was all thanks to Filipe, so they trusted him unconditionally.
Little did they know that the disciples’ rapid progress was mainly because of Levi’s class and had nothing much to do with the other three instructors.
“No matter what, you’re wrong in this matter, Mr. Garrison. So, you’ve got to apologize to Mr. Jourdain and the other disciples,” Darian asserted.
At that, Levi snickered. “What did I do wrong that I’ve got to apologize?”
“You spouted nonsense and insulted Mr. Jourdain!” Darian snapped.
“Well, I was merely speaking the truth since the first batch of disciples are indeed making faster progress than they are, albeit not having attained the speed I want. So, what’s wrong with me saying that they’ve never seen the world?”
At present, Levi was only satisfied with Forlevia’s progress.
“Haha… I don’t believe that anyone is improving faster than them! No way! That’s impossible!” Filipe rebuffed adamantly.
“That doesn’t mean anything. While you have not seen it, it doesn’t mean that it’s out of the realm of possibility. That’s why I said that you lot have never seen the world!” Levi smirked.
His utterance, however, antagonized everyone there.
“You don’t realize your mistake at all, Levi! Are you going to apologize or what?” everyone clamored.
“Why should I apologize when I’ve done nothing wrong? Did the lot of you get your wires crossed?”
Levi regarded them with as though they were morons.
“Fine. You refuse to apologize, yes? Then, I suggest dismissing him as an instructor! The reason is simply this—his training plan is child’s play! And this is a fact everyone knows!” Xaire proposed.
“I second that!”
“I agree, too!”
All the disciples expressed their agreements one by one.
