Chapter 2565 Defeat Me
Yes, those men left to find other opportunities.
As Lab of Gods had trained them to be elites, they refused to give up.
Never once did they forget their mission—to stay here!
“Comrades, we can’t leave like cowards! We need to find a way to get other teachers to take us as students. Listen to me! We shall get on our knees for three days straight. That way, the high-rank officials won’t ignore our plight!” Eskild announced.
“All right! Let’s do that!”
Soon, Eskild and the other six went on their knees on the square in the middle of Carigrey Academy to ask to become someone else’s students.
Their action attracted a lot of attention, and a crowd soon gathered around them.
Everyone couldn’t help but pity their plight and admire them for their tenacity.
After all, they were the only ones who’d rather leave Carigrey Academy than become Levi’s students.
Most people couldn’t do that!
“I’m impressed by your courage!”
“I couldn’t do this if I were in your shoes. There’s no way I’ll let the opportunity slip!”
“It’s disappointing to become Levi’s student, but everyone has to accept it!”
The crowd expressed their admiration for Eskild and the others.
“Let’s go ask our teachers to accept them!”
“Yes, let’s go ask our respective teachers. We can’t let them leave like that!”
As Eskild and his friends did the impossible, the other students couldn’t hide their reverence for them.
They promptly went to ask their teachers to accept them.
Eskild, who was kneeling on the ground, flashed a mysterious smile.
After kicking those men out, Levi was pleased.
He couldn’t really reveal everything when the spies were here, but now they were gone.
The spies had left the best place, for their target was none other than Levi himself!
Alas, they chose to leave Levi.
Now, Levi could focus on training the fighters.
He knew that those men would stay in the academy.
“All right. Let’s begin!” he announced.
However, his students wore calm expressions to show their unwillingness.
“Who else have a problem with me?” Levi asked.
“You might be my teacher, and I respect Carigrey Academy’s arrangements, but I’ll never respect you! Never!” Bruno answered.
Everyone nodded in agreement. “Yes, same here!”
“We agreed to stay because of Carigrey Academy’s reputation, not because of you! Though we are your students, we will never have respect for you!”
Troy chimed in, “The only way to earn my respect is to show us your skills!”
“Yes, you’ll earn our respect if you defeat us! Otherwise, we don’t even know what we’re going to learn. We don’t want our skills to regress!”
“That’s right. We’ll only respect someone who is stronger than us! Only strong fighters have the right to teach us!”
They were on the same page, venting out their frustrations.
Levi’s lips curved into a grin. “How do I earn your respect, then?”
“That’s easy. Defeat one of us! We’ll pick the strongest fighter among us. You can earn our respect if you defeat that person,” Bruno said.
Turning to Troy, he continued, “Troy is a Divine Leaderboard fighter, so he’s the strongest among us! Battle against him. You’ll earn our fear if you crush him!”
“Yes!” everyone else chimed in. “We’ll show you reverence if you beat Troy, the strongest of us all!”
Troy stared at Levi, deadpanned. “Come on, Master Garrison. Let’s fight! Don’t you want to earn our respect? Are you a coward?” he declared in a provoking manner.
