<3rd POV Shrek VIP lounge just as Bai left>
"Bang!" made the door closing.
Mayi looked to Shrek student "You made Bai mad. Next time fight will be your beating" She calmly said leaving the room without hurry.
All the people at the room looked very surprised at the scene that happened before. After some time they recuperated "The younger generation always so emotional" Flender said.
"To think that him was Rongrong's brother I expected some arrogant he-devil young master like Rongrong before. Next time we meet them we must be a little wary, that Mayi hit strong" said Mubai laughing.
"You can laugh unworried. It's me who recieved a death sentence!" said a little frightened Oscar.
"It's your fault to talk to much!" said Xiao Wu. Then she turn to Tang San blinking cutely her eyes "You voted me, no? Brother San?".
"Who could I vote if not you? All the others must be blind" hurriedly answer Tang San receiving a happy nod from Xiao Wu.
"Of course I voted for you, Zhuqing" said Mubai only to receive a cold glare from her.
Hongjun then pat Oscar's shoulder "Don't worry to much. What can he do to us? He is only a reserve member and we already beat the main one. So next time it will also be our win".
Xiao Wu laid her head on her shoulder cutely ignorant and asked "How can they only be reserve? They beat me and brother San, even when brother used his spirit bone" Receiving a nod from Tang San and a shocked expression from the others.
"They are considered part of the reserve team not for their low strength. They are reserve because they don't usually fight, considering boring easy matches. In case of strength, both of them are at the top of the team." said Qin Ming "I prohibited them for participating vs Shrek because I wanted for the others to learn from a defeat. If both of them participate your winning probability would drop to almost impossible" scaring all the others.
"For other matter, congratulations to teachers to have this great generation of so talented students. Like always Shrek only accepts monster and it seems this generation is better than mine. It's great to see Shrek strive".
Flender a little tired and sad said "This will be our last generation of students". "You continue with the financial problems? If is that maybe..." Qin Ming said quickly being interjected by Flender "It's also that but we are old, we lost the spirit and passion of past days. After this batch of students graduate we will finally close the school. Ming you are doing a good job teaching those youths, they can be regarded as elites".
Qin Ming humbly answered "It's not my skills that attracted them, rather it was our academy".
"Are you a teacher in an academy?" Asked Flender.
"Right now I am teaching at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, this children are its most outstanding disciples. So their progress can be regarded as their talent not mine" Answered Qin Ming.
After that the adult left the room leaving the children talking about the previous battle.
Returning to our hotel with Mayi we went to our group room to see if any of the others was awake. We entered the room only to find all the team there. Despite that all their injures were healed by Lingling spirit, they still had a haggard look, seeming exhausted.
I looked at all the other eyes. The Shi brother, Osler and Yan returned with an ashamed look and a quickly cut of view. Chenxiang looked frustrated with a hint of happiness. Lingling was upset minded but some was different of her normal state. My biggest surprise was Tianheng who was showing a glace with resolution.
"Tianheng, good look" I said to him "Something happened after me leaving".
"Tianheng found his uncle and had a private conversation with him. After that his depression change to resolution, so. Good for him!" Said Chenxiang.
Tianheng bowed to all of us surprising me a lot "Sorry! I let my arrogance blind me making all of us lose face in this match" he turned to me "Bai sorry for my previous actions completely rejecting your training methods. After seeing that even a stupid bird like Feng contribute more than me in the fight I can't ignore the results anymore"
"Hey!" Chenxiang said offended "Of course this talented handsome me was the MVP, who can win over me?" She proudly states. I look at her with a frown, she quickly evading my stare.
Tiaheng ignored her and continued saying to me "If you still offer to train us I will very glad accept. And as their actual leader I will be sure that everyone follow your regime. For another matter this match made me realized that I lack the virtues of a leader so I want you to take charge of it"
"To much responsibility. I hardly fight with all of you, so I will prefer that you maintain your status as leader. For the training you can join us in it. Tomorrow I will leave with Mayi to finally obtain my fourth ring so I can't create a unique regime from you. So the best is that you start training following the basics with Feng and Lingling help".
"You must call me handsome big brother Feng from now on, I only expect respect from my little juniors" hummed Chenxiang causing her to be the receptor of everyone death glare.
Chenxiang apologized shaking her arms "Sorry, sorry! It was only a little joke!".
"When we return I will expect from all of you to at least having created your foundation. After that we will finally start the true training. Don't forget that you have the talent for it" I said encouraging them "Because in the Continental Spirit Master Academy Elite Grand Competition in one year time I won't accept any less than victory. For victory!". All of them shouting "For victory".
"Good. It seems that you experienced a great growth with this defeat. I'm happy for you" Qin Ming said entering the room.
All the Emperor team members bowed to him and said "Teacher Qin, please continue teaching us"
Qin Ming answered with a nod "I did a deal with Shrek academy. They will come in the near future as exchange students with their professors. Being a separated group, we using their name for our academy's fame in exchange for them using our facilities. They will take the second spot to the Continental Tournament of the academy" he informed us.
"Great! We will see them again!" Said Lingling causing all of us to be very surprised at her clearly show of emotion and high voice.
"Lingling are you okay? Did you eat something in bad state? Are you dying?" Asked Chenxiang only to Lingling to punch her with a heavy blushed face.
Chenxiang easily evaded teasing her "Oh, girls in love are the prettiest" enraging Lingling
"Feng stop laughing at Lingling" said Tianheng to Chenxiang. Then he turned to Lingling "But is great seeing so much emotion on you Lingling" causing Lingling to blush more.
"Ejem! Anyway it will be a good opportunity to have a spar team of a similar level to practice" Osler said interjecting in the previously conversation.
"Of course, the best being near my little Rongrong" I said.
Mayi had a resolute look, looked at me and said in a low voice only to her to hear "I won't never lose to you".
"It surely will be a good experience to learn for both teams" Said Qin Ming.
I turned to Qin Ming and said "Teacher Qin, Mayi and I will take break from the team and we will go alone to Star Dou Forest to find our 4th rings. So I request your permission to leave"
"You have my permission to go. Even if a deny it you will go anyway. Do you really not want any help from the academy? We can help find you an specific beast and hunt it" Qin Ming said.
"We prefer to go alone gaining vital experience. I think that you must use your own strength to obtain your rings, not depend on others" I explained.
Qin Ming nodded at me "Be careful".
I bowed to him and I and Mayi returned to our room. We prepared all the necessary things to leave for tomorrow ring hunting. Finishing we finally fell asleep.
