Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life 189 Red Festival - Part 7

On top of that, these four heroes came from the same academy. The spectators were not stupid not to realize something fishy behind the matching process.

The murmurs grew stronger and stronger until one spectator shouted in frustration, "The match is rigged!!!"

It was clear the committee or the Hero League wanted to reduce the participants from the Heero Academy for some reason.

From one spectator to two spectators shouted in dissatisfaction. They came here to watch the exciting match, not to watch the top rank hero admit defeat.

From the previous match, this second match result would be one of the participants back down. They were from the same academy, it was understandable as fighting would only exhaust them.

If one looked from the positive side, Heero Academy members were benefited as they could save energy. However, from the spectator's perspective, they were bound to be disappointed as their favorite heroes were eliminated in such a way.

"Boooooo!!!"

The spectators yelled, denouncing the committee. As the yell resounded, four people came out from the gate.

The yell stopped upon the sight of the four members of the Heero Academy walking toward the stage.

Strangely, not only Sun Zhou Yi and Bai Xin Yue, Kang Seo-Yeon and Musashi Hirata followed.

Four of them wore the same martial clothes, bringing the Heero Academy flag which was tied to two meters long wooden stick on their shoulder.

The commotion died down as the spectators were curious about what the four participants wanted to do.

If the spectators realized the match-making was rigged, the participants certainly also realized this issue.

Long Bin watched the four young generations, wondering what they wanted to do. However, he also did not stop them from coming up to the stage.

Looking at the four, the Old Man let out a sigh in disappointment. There was no need to guess, Long Bin already knew that one or maybe two big families were jealous of the rising of the Heero Academy.

They rigged the match, reducing the members from the Heero Academy in the Fighter Anteriority, dimming the brilliance of the Heero Academy.

Kang Seo-Yeon, Bai Xin Yue, and Sun Zhou Yi nodded toward Long Bin, while Musashi Hirata did not even glance at the old man.

They stopped in the center of the stage. The moment they halted their steps, they raised the flag. Right after that, they plugged the flag on the floor simultaneously.

The wooden stick pierced through the hard floor, four flags stood straight and the flag fluttered.

At the same time, Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue stomped their feet.

Whoosh!

The ice and flame covered the floor of the stage. Half of the stage was covered in flame and the other half was covered in ice.

There were five spots that were not covered by flame and ice. It was the spot where the five people stood on the stage.

With such strong momentum, the four raised their right hand, the hand was directed toward the luxurious box, where the executive of the Hero League from the three cities stayed.

They raised their thumb, then slowly, the thumb moved downward. Only then, the spectators realized what the four wanted to do.

They came up to the stage only to taunt the executive of the Hero League. Their imposing entrance was only a show to the executive of the Hero League; they were not weaklings, increasing their momentum to denounce the Hero League.

The show lasted for a minute before Bai Xin Yue admitted her defeat. As the match-making result had come out, it could not be fixed. They accepted the result, but they would not take it without retaliation.

After Bai Xin Yue admitted defeat, the four came down off the stage side by side. Each of their steps, the ice would be melted.

"The event will be postponed for 30 minutes!!!" Long Bin announced in an annoyed tone.

He did not state the reason… No, he was ashamed to state the reason. He was the former Emperor Class Hero of Star City. Such an ugly show in this important event, he was angry but also disappointed.

*** ***

Meanwhile, in a small luxurious box, Bai Xian Ming's face turned red in anger.

Such an ugly show, it was strange if he was not furious.

Bam!

He slammed the refined wooden table in front of him. The wooden table was shattered in pieces.

Such action shocked the people in the luxurious box except for Bai Tian Ming, Musashi Kenzan, and Wu Yintao.

Bai Xian Ming rose from his seat and stormed out of the luxurious box. He slammed the door open and an angry voice could be heard after that.

"Call those fuckers to gather in the meeting room. I want all of them to arrive in five minutes!"

Wu Yintao shook his head in pity and clicked his tongue, "Tsk! After the Feng Family, who would be unlucky this time?"

He was muttering to himself, but everyone in the luxurious box could hear him.

Bai Tian Ming and Musashi Kenzan maintained their dignified expression while the three family members behind them broke into a murmur.

*** ***

After half an hour, the main event continued. Long Bin stormed into the control room and kicked out everyone in the control.

He detained everyone in the control room. Not only that, but he also gave everyone a good kick.

He did not care who was the one who was responsible for the match-making, he put all the blame on them.

After that, he changed all the crew into a new one and continued the event. He was ashamed that such a thing happened on his home turf.

From the spectator's seat, Heero let out a chuckle as he was amused by what his disciples did on the stage.

Even though they failed to promote the academy in the fight, they did something more unexpected.

It could be said that the impact of what they did just now was more effective. The spectators were busily taking pictures of the stage.

Half of the stage emanated the cold air while flame blazed on the other half. Four flags stood in the center, creating marvelous sight.

'Heh, soon the forum will be flooded by this picture I believe!' Heero thought to himself upon the sight of the spectators who busily took the pictures.

Even the little girls by his side also kept taking the pictures with their smartwatch.

As soon as the promised half an hour, Long Bin came back to the stage. With a slam of his stick, he extinguished the ice and the flame on the stage.

After that, he pulled out the four flags and put it aside. He let out another sigh and announced, "The event continues, let's proceed to the next match!"

As soon as he finished his words, the screen flashed and two names appeared.

The event continued smoothly after the ugly show. All top twenty seeds passed to the top 32 without a major upset.

The second day of the main would continue until four participants left. In order words, from the top 64, 60 participants would be eliminated on the second day.

Without a break, Long Bin continued the main event. Two names flashed on the big screen.

[Cale Wilkinson (No.40) vs Musashi Hirata (No.147)]

Face to face against his opponent, Cale was surprised to see the familiar face. The first day he arrived at Star City, he clashed against Musashi Hirata.

Even though the clash was stopped by his friend, he could not help but feel excited when he saw the familiar face again.

To his surprise, he noticed his opponent also excited to see him. Cale could find excitement in Musashi Hirata's eyes.

Musashi Hirata grinned and said, "My luck is pretty good! You are only on my list!"
