I Can Contract Beauties-Chapter 227: Miguel In Melancholy

As it was the second day of the competition, the crowd was more bustling than ever.

Miguel noticed that it was especially crowded and a lot of ’elders’ who was not present yesterday, was now present in the seat behind him.

Yesterday, the top 10 was decided after two bitter battles. Today, the top would be decided after the participants get randomly paired to fight. The winner would naturally advance for tomorrow, while the loser would fight again a few times today to determine their position in the ranking from 6th to 10th place.

In the sophomore division, Erika Red and Victor Hall naturally advanced for today’s competition without a hitch. Including them, the other eighteen participants were quite strong in their own regard.

However, compared to Erika and Victor, all of their performances paled in comparison to the two of them even though they did not go all out on their previous battles.

With such information, Miguel thought that the ultimate winner of the sophomore division would ultimately be Erika and Victor Hall. The Ultimate Champion would then be just a rematch to the ’exhibition match’ that the two of them participated in yesterday.

Of course, this was on the premise that there were no dark horses that would suddenly rise from now on.

As for the freshmen division, Gasper also successfully moved to top10. His performance was not super outstanding, but it was not bad either.

Considering his performance, he would have no problem upon receiving a ’sponsor’ from now on. Of course, as he was a direct member of the Red Family, no one would truly dare to poach him openly.

The same could be said to other participants of the Red Family.

In the whole Freshmen division, the Red Family members secured nine spots including Gasper. It could be seen how terrifying the influence and how large the Red Family was.

The martial arts freshmen division did not garner any attention from the crowd. They had already seen a genius like Victor Hall so the current strength of the freshman martial artists was not attractive to them.

Anyway, after Lumier exited the center stage, the top 10 competition finally started. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

After they drew lots, Erika was paired up to a man with extremely black hair.

He looked very ordinary and there were clear eye bags underneath his eyes. He has messy hair and a slouched back. He gave the vibe that he was a lazy and weak person.

However, for him to be chosen as the participant and reaching top 10, no one doubted that he was also very strong. Of course, none in the crowd believed that Erika was going to lose. They were just curious on what manner she would win.

Looking at the lively scene, Miguel could not help but thought back to his experiences from the Immortal Cultivation World.

That world was super competitive, and it could be said that competition has always been part of the custom and tradition.

Perhaps due to the lack of external threat, no matter if they were strong or weak, they always had a competition that they could partake in.

Life and death of an individual cultivator would always fluctuate during such a competition. It was very intense, and the reward gained for the winner was equally abundant.

Although the atmosphere today lacks in comparison to what he had experienced before, the essence was there and Miguel could not help but look at the scene in melancholy.

The only thing that they lacked was gambling and betting.

As a competition that has a winner and a loser, how could gambling and betting money be taken out of consideration.

Unfortunately, such a custom does not exist in the academy’s yearly competition, else, Miguel would have decided to bet and make some quick bucks.

After the referee signals the start of the battle, Erika and her opponent immediately raced to summon their grimoire and beasts.

Erika did not disappoint and was able to summon her grimoire ahead of her opponent.

Although there were only seconds of difference, such a gap could already determine the loser and the winner in a fight.

Erika summoned the Red Sparrow once more.

Her actions were swift and she did not allow her opponent to react as she ordered the Red Sparrow to make a quick dive.

The opponent on the other hand stoped summoning his beasts. Instead, he took a step to the side and immediately summoned his absolute shield.

HIs previous lazy gaze disappeared as he turned and look at Erika with fear in his eyes.

Suddenly, a bloody wound appeared on the surface of his arm. If he did not react quickly enough, his entire arm would have shivered by the Red Sparrows attack.

Decisive and has no mercy to the opponent.

This was the public’s evaluation for Erika ever since the freshmen competition a year ago.

Her characteristics seemed to have not dwindled, and she was even more decisive than before, making the audience nod to themselves, praising her inwardly.

"Damn it! We are clearly classmates and I even sit directly behind you, can you show me some mercy?" The man muttered to himself.

His actions did not stop. With the absolute shield now activated, he eased his worries and began to summon his creature leisurely.

The only reason he did not summon the shield first earlier was because he wanted to compete with Erika in terms of summoning speed.

Well, he lost too badly and even almost lost his arm, so it was a spur of a moment decision that he has now regretted doing.

Fortunately, he could now focus on summoning his beasts. He ignored Erika and put his entire focus on that matter.

Meanwhile, Erika, knowing that she could not do anything to her opponent with the absolute shield active, ordered the Red Sparrow to return to her side.

Like her opponent, she also activated her absolute shield and allowed her Red Sparrow to land directly in front of her.

She stared at her opponent, seemingly waiting for something.

After a few seconds, her eyes finally lit up, as she ordered, "Accumulate, FireBall!"
