Why did Hannah intentionally lose to him?
Clearly, she knew that once she lost that battle, death awaited her.
But still, she lost.
At that mont, his heart was filled only with shock.
Even countless midnight dreams returned, where he would see his hands covered in blood, holding Hannah as she lay in a pool of blood.
"Wayne, do you still have feelings for Hannah?"
Seeing Wayne like this, tears imdiately welled up in Emma’s eyes.
"What?"
Wayne, as if just regaining his senses, didn’t catch what Emma had just said.
Emma opened her mouth but ultimately remained silent.
The tears in her eyes suddenly beca embarrassingly superfluous.
She feared she would receive an affirmative answer from Wayne.
If that were the case, it would drive her insane.
Truly.
Despite the fact that she and Wayne had known each other longer, Hannah was just a newcor; even her mother, who was usually so graceful, would call Hannah a lowlife.
But was she to lose to a lowlife?
No!
Absolutely not!
The king issued an order, and Wayne’s departure was set for three days later.
The timing was urgent.
Today was his last class at the academy.
It was still a cha combat practice class.
Only this ti, the classroom had been converted into a training field.
Jay Brown was the first to arrive.
Accompanied by his roommate, Samuel Hoffman.
Although not the first ti seeing Wayne, Samuel was still a bit excited and nervous, "Instructor Wayne."
Wayne nodded in response.
Jay was distracted.
He was looking at the cha not far behind Wayne.
Its main color was dark blue.
"Instructor Wayne, is that Abyss?"
Jay suddenly asked.
Wayne gave Jay an extra glance.
Although many students attended his classes, he rembered Jay the clearest.
For a simple reason—because he was the best.
"It’s Abyss, but it’s Abyss 107."
Abyss was the cha piloted by Wayne, also crafted by a master.
Judging by the number, Abyss 107 should be similar to Tree Star 106.
Just another cha used for simulated combat training for these cadets.
Only after everyone arrived did Wayne begin the lesson.
He explained briefly about Abyss 107.
It was as Jay had guessed.
That evening, after clashing with Tree Star 106, he had reflected alone for a long ti.
Reflecting on the mistakes and flaws he tended to make during combat.
It had been imnsely beneficial.
Thus, he wasn’t going to let today’s opportunity pass by either.
When Wayne asked who wanted to co up and give it a try, Jay was the first to raise his hand.
He had learned from the old principal that Hannah and Wayne had often sparred back when they were at the academy.
Their records were fifty-fifty.
Equal in strength.
But the old principal ntioned that Hannah had been holding back.
He was old, his eyes might be blurry, but his mind was not.
He could still discern such matters.
At the ti, Jay didn’t understand, "If you’re on the battlefield, even if it’s just a simulation, shouldn’t you give it your all, respect your opponent? Why would Hannah hold back?"
He thought Hannah was too arrogant, so she acted that way.
But the old principal just shook his head, "She didn’t want to not win, it’s that she couldn’t."
"Couldn’t?" Jay was puzzled, "She had the capabilities, why couldn’t she?"
The old principal didn’t respond, rely patting Jay on the shoulder with a smile.
Why couldn’t she?
This question lingered in Jay’s mind even as he stood on the training field facing Abyss 107.
It wasn’t that he was foolish, just that he didn’t understand.
The battle heated the blood of all the students watching.
