Chapter 460 The Second Time's The Charm!
"Jamal Hydra!!"
*BANG!*
Another poor armrest had been destroyed thanks to the unexpected results of the competition.
Jamal, unlike the other two, did not want to lose to Shye.
He even took the risk of hunting at night for a few more hours just to ensure that he would win.
Hence, it was truly difficult for him to accept this outcome of being inferior to two first-year rookies.
He didn't have any bad blood with Shye, it's just that he was an intensely competitive guy who hated losing more than anything, and due to his frustration, Jamal didn't even notice the crowd's thunderous cheers as he fought toe-to-toe against the (A-) ranked Phantom Panther.
The creature vanished and reappeared from all angles like a ghost. However, Jamal, like a combat prophet, always predicted the Phantom Panther's next move and effectively counterattacked after narrowly avoiding its attacks.
Such an intense and exciting battle would naturally keep the crowd on the edge of their seats.
After about fifteen minutes, the battle finally concluded when Jamal, courageously taking a hit from the panther's lethal paw, managed to behead it with a fierce rising slash counterattack, prompting the crowd to cheer wildly.
What the other two couldn't do was hunt an (A-) ranked creature.
Thus, Jamal's bravery in attempting to hunt one cemented him as the superior between the three of them.
Naturally, Erwin and Verson found it hard to accept that they were utterly defeated by Jamal, however, what could they do?
Had they dared hunt in the biting darkness of the night, they wouldn't be in their current positions.
Unfortunately, this was their final opportunity to prove their worth as rookies, and they ultimately fell short compared to Jamal.
It would be tough for them to prove themselves in the future as they would be considered veterans starting next year and their stage would be much grander.
"CAN, YOU, BELIEVE IT FOLKS?! IT'S THE FINALS OF THE ADVENTURER ACADEMY COMPETITION ALL OVER AGAIN!!" Bart exclaimed in utter excitement.
He was directed to open the result envelopes for the top three one at a time, which is why his reaction was genuine.
Bart never expected that it would be Damien versus Shye once again who would be competing for the number one rookie spot.
Hearing Bart's words, Damien's heart raced even more.
"Everyone, are you ready?! With a total accumulated points of 682, this year's second-ranked rookie is...Damien Martinez!!"
*BANG!*
"NOOOO!!! NO!! NO!!! HOW?! HOW DID I STILL LOSE?! DIDN'T I ALREADY DEFEAT ANOTHER (B) RANKED CREATURE AND AN (A-) RANKED ONE?!
WHAT MORE DO I NEED TO DO TO BEAT THIS LITTLE F*CKER?!"
Once again, another unfortunate armrest met its demise as Damien slams it fiercely in a fit of fury and disbelief.
Despite his narrow win against the (B) ranked Crimson Vorper, Damien still dared to challenge another (B) ranked creature, even risking his life to fight an (A-) ranked one to the bitter end as he didn't dare underestimate his mortal adversary this time.
All to ensure his victory. Yet, he still somehow lost.
To make things worse, he didn't even have time to reorganize his thoughts as a voice sounded inside his viewing station.
"Sir Damien, kindly make your way out of the viewing station and take your seat at the designated spot for the second-place winner."
Hearing the words "second-place winner", Damien's sanity finally snapped.
*BANG!"
Noisily slamming the door of his viewing station open, Damien rushed to the center of the stage with a crazy and furious look, prompting the crowd to look at him instead of his recording.
"This is bullshit! I've already hunted down an (A-) ranked creature with all my might and I refuse to accept that this guy could have done the same! I won't acknowledge this outcome until I've seen every single one of his hunts!"
