"One and half more minutes!" One of them even exclaid happily, eliciting laughter from his friends, discontented grumbling from so others.
The fae youths were from two different teams and they were all from the nearest dod city located thirty kiloters northwest, a city conquered by their race one hundred and seventy years ago. The trip here was to train, and for them to have fun battling against the young elites of the opposing camp. Given this mindset, it was obvious that none of them truly thought highly of the people from there. Apart from so powerful experts in the human camps, everyone else was akin to a training dummy to them, if not fodder for their pets.
"Hmm. This group differs greatly from our opponents yesterday. They lasted a bit longer and are faring well against that boy. Perhaps, they might force us to co out to help Gaoli."
"Leader, don't think highly of them. Even though this place can be considered their ho ground, they are only barely holding on. That Gaoli must have been..." 'delaying on purpose.'
The one who spoke stopped upon being glared at by the leader of the mini group on the left side. The guy spread his arms helplessly and made an 'oops' expression upon rembering that their real opponents, the ones who entered a betting ga with them, were just a few paces away.
The children of fae were carefree people. Even though they were blessed with intellect, there were just things that they did for the sake of interest, if not for fun. Also, like humans, cliques also ford amidst their ranks and so did rivalry.
They were intricacies and so behind-the-scenes politicking involved in it, but upon running into each other, two teams did not see eye to eye and entered a bet. The bet was whether the next group of scouts would last five minutes against one of them to which the other team betted for 'no'.
The group of five refrained from giggling and even from turning their heads to look at the other team. Their crew couldn't just taunt that this very mber had long defected on their side, right?
anwhile, the team where Gaoli ca from looked on with a frown on their faces, certainly not because their comrade appeared to be losing against the 'scouts' from the human race, but because by the looks of it, their whole team would lose against their rival.
A male fae stood up from the boulder where he was sitting, his right hand stroking the pendant of the necklace hanging by his neck. The lustrous grey gem was a precious stone unique to their race, capable of storing living beings. It was where most fae kept their pets for the convenience when on traveling and scouting operations. After all, there was no way they could do reconnaissance or infiltration missions with their huge dinosaurs displayed on the outside. Everyone else in the two teams apart from the person confronting Wang Yu Yan's group had their pets hidden using that item.
The male fae gave the opposing team a contemplative look and then turned to his own teammates. "The situation is not favorable to us. Gaoli is losing."
"Hmm." With a grim face, the others nodded to him, feeling annoyed as their pride had been hit.
The male fae who served as the leader of Gaoli's team felt sothing was wrong with the situation but he just couldn't pinpoint it. After watching so more, he judged that the guy fighting the villainess' group would lose and so he shook his head in mild irritation and spoke. "I'll go and help."
Voices filled with alarm and displeasure imdiately turned his way. However, the male lead disregarded them and made his way towards the battlefield. People from behind shouted his na yet he ignored them, and he had the capital to be this arrogant since his and his family's status transcended everyone there, only beneath the leader of the other team.
In reality, the man was not as slow to realize what was going on. When he neared the battlefield and saw the skills of the ones fighting his subordinate, he already guessed that sothing was wrong with Gaoli.
