Chapter 245 - The Bustle
“You are saying that Matthias knows you are keeping in touch with me?” Lin Li frowned. It was not good news to him.
“No, no, no. I don’t think it is that serious.” Argus shook his head, but the expression on his face turned anxious. “But I can tell that Matthias trusts me less than before…”
“Maybe your failure in the Fire Plume Ridge upset him.”
“Hmm, it might be due to that too…” Argus replied.
“Don’t worry. No one else knows about this matter. As long as we don’t tell anyone, it will be a secret forever,” Lin Li assured while patting Argus’s shoulders. He knew what Argus was worrying about.
“Hope so then…” Argus forced out a smile, but his expression did not become even a bit better.
“Alright, you go back first. Update me again if you need to. Don’t come to the Guild of Magic like today. If Matthias were to find out, you wouldn’t be able to explain it to him,” Lin Li advised Argus after realizing that the sky was getting dark.
Gryffindor nodded his head, and agreed reluctantly, “Yeah.”
He clearly remembered that man to be Orrin’s teammate.
His relationship with Orrin could be likened to water and fire. When he was 10, his mentor brought him all over Felan Kingdom to almost all Magic guilds. He fought almost all young mages—including Orrin.
Orrin had been a level-9 mage back then, while Gryffindor a level-8 mage. They were both young talents who had attracted the attention of many. In the end, Orrin defeated Gryffindor with his level-9 abilities after much difficulty.
That battle became a lifelong stain on Gryffindor’s pride.
After returning to Alanna, he had always been thinking of ways to defeat Orrin. He researched into magic every minute tirelessly. With the help of his talent, he’d managed to break into the Magic Shooter realm. His subsequent improvement could be described as vigorous. He had the abilities of a level-14 Magic Shooter at a young age. After three years, when Gryffindor challenged all the magic guilds again, he finally defeated Orrin at Rotterdam.
But, to Gryffindor, a battle was not enough to erase that disgrace from three years earlier. He hoped his mentor would let him meet Orrin during the finals.
Gryffindor knew that the finals allowed mages to make mistakes… such as inflicting too much injuries…
As for the two teammates Orrin had, he was never concerned about them.
He understood the reason why Felic could emerge victorious against Macklin in the arena.
Gryffindor clearly saw Macklin suppressing his energy and underestimating his opponent. He did not doubt that he would lose to Felic.
He was only a little surprised. Gryffindor clearly knew that the last time Macklin lost to Felic was due to Macklin suppressing his abilities and his personal underestimation of his opponent.
As for that Orrin who’d just reached level-10, he was not even an ant in front of him.
How would two ants—one big and one small—deserve his respect?
