English Translation:
The crowd was watching Leonard's intervention. Would he allow Izuru to finish the fight? Or would he prioritize his well-being and end the combat? The answer to this question came sooner than expected when Leonard was seen crossing his arms in surrender.
Izuru's chance of victory was immediately taken away from him as he stared at Leonard in disbelief.
"Hey," Izuru said, almost in a whisper.
"I don't care about losing my damn eye if I can beat that bastard. So, please, don't take my victory away!"
"Take your victory away, huh? Fine, Izuru, I'll let you keep fighting."
Before he could finish his sentence, a powerful lightning bolt struck near the platform, and everyone saw how the greatest genius of recent times appeared in the spot where the bolt had fallen.
"What do you think you're doing, idiot? Do you really plan to let him fight? The Lowsley keep disappointing me more and more," said Sae Ikari, coldly glaring at Leonard.
Chapter 6, Part I: The Choice of a Master.
The atmosphere was heavy. Izuru looked in awe at the two people before him. Although the difference in their levels was evident, Leonard didn't back down even for a moment.
"And you? Weren't you too busy licking Master Liu's boots?"
"Don't compare yourself to me. You turned down the chance to train with the person closest to the power of God just for a woman who doesn't even care about you. And now you were going to let an injured candidate fight. How much longer will you keep sullying the name your parents gave you?"
This was the last straw. Leonard began to clench his fists tightly, and before anyone realized, he launched his attack toward Sae, which was easily deflected. Sae, now having an opening to strike Leonard, would have done so if it weren't for the intimidating presence of Master Liu, who stepped in to stop him.
"What do you two think you're doing? Is this the image you want to project to the candidates?" spoke Liu seriously as he approached Sae in fury.
"I was just going to correct Leonard's poor attitude. My priority is the well-being of the candidates, especially those with potential like…"
Before Liu could continue his speech, he was interrupted, and Leonard was scolded in front of Izuru.
"You're not in charge of the entrance exam. That's why I assigned Kaina. She decided Leonard was competent enough to take her place for the moment. This better be the last time you bother Leonard. And as for you, Leonard, don't fall for Sae's provocations again."
"It's unbelievable… that such imposing people are scolded so easily by just one man," Izuru thought to himself before collapsing from the loss of adrenaline, combined with the blows he had received from Ryuuzen.
"Sae, take the kid to Elder Hu. Right now, we have very few doctors available because of the Great Capital's Martial Arts Tournament."
"Why not take him to another doctor? You know how hard it is to find that bastard."
"First, let me remind you that you're insulting my older brother. Second, the others must be busy treating Eren Hendrickson's wounds. That boy wasn't at all gentle with his opponent."
"Damn it, fine. I'll take the kid to Master Hu. Anyway, I've got plans for him."
"Do whatever you want, as long as he doesn't become a problem for the sect. The last thing we need is Rain on our backs."
Liu said, watching Sae carry Izuru like a sack of potatoes.
"I apologize for the interruption, Leonard, but there's no need for you to continue with this test. Pyo Wol…" Liu said while pointing at Pyo Wol with one of his fingers, then pointing to the ground. There was no need for anything else for Pyo Wol to understand what Master Liu meant.
"Hahaha, that old man has a really good eye, despite his age. You chose well, Elder Liu."
Pyo Wol said as he confidently walked toward Liu.
"You'll have to prove that to me. I'm sorry for the interruption, Leonard. You may continue."
He said just before disappearing before the eyes of the entire crowd, along with Pyo Wol.
Meanwhile, in the crowd, there were a couple of very annoyed boys with the outcome.
"I'll make him pay for not noticing me."
"He'll regret underestimating me."
Hyu and Robert said, very upset.
"Alright, the winner of this match is Ryuuzen Gohara. Who's next?"
"It took you long enough to declare me the winner."
Meanwhile, with Izuru, his mind was in complete chaos.
"I hadn't had time to process everything that had been going on, and now that I finally have time to think about my situation, this is a mess. I lost, and that God will lose interest in me. I'll go back to that place, and my life will go back to being a living hell."
But Sae wouldn't give him time to think about it.
"So you're the chosen one of God?"
"Huh?"
"Were you just boasting when you said you're chosen by Rain?"
"Who the hell are you, anyway?"
"Can't you hear? Didn't you hear my name even though I was right in front of you when they mentioned it?"
"I was more focused on trying to keep the blood from getting in my eye. As far as I know, you're some kind of super-strong bully."
"Bully?… My name is Sae. Sae Ikari. I guess they talked about me when my brother introduced himself."
"Yeah, I heard they mentioned a Sae."
"So, you're not from here? Rain has a habit of kidnapping children. He's been doing it for 100 years."
"That's terrifying."
"Yeah, the good thing is that all the children he kidnaps end up being great talents. The bad thing is that they end up like me. Talents without ambition."
"Oh. So that's why… you said 'like me'?"
"Yeah, I was also kidnapped by Rain, but he got bored of me and let me go before I could unleash all my potential. At least, during my time with him, I reached an incredible power, a power I would never have reached on my own."
"So why did he get bored of you?"
"Forget that. Better tell me, what's it like where you come from?"
"I don't have to answer that if you don't tell me why you don't teleport like you did earlier."
"The truth is, I'd love to chat with you, but you don't have to answer my question. We've arrived."
Sae would say, pointing to a very cozy house where an elderly man dressed in white robes sat sipping tea.
"Old man, I ask that you please treat this brat."
"Are you coming to me with that arrogant attitude, interrupting my tea time, and still expect me to listen to you?"
"Yes."
"Then I guess I have no choice but to comply," the elderly Hu said, sipping his tea.
"Damn it, is it really that hard to make him do his job?"
"Yes, but at the same time, no. Elder, he's Rain's new toy. And not only that, he comes from another dimension."
Saying this was enough for Elder Hu, who had been enjoying his chair and tea, to sigh heavily and give Sae a serious look.
"What's your name, kid?"
"I'll tell you if you cure this, I can't stop the blood from getting in my eye."
"We have a deal," Elder Hu said before covering his Qi eyes, making his naturally green eyes turn red.
Meanwhile, in the testing area…
"Didn't he look that strong?"
"Who was it that said he was the weakest in his dojo?"
"He's not weak at all, he's almost as terrifying as Pyo Wol."
The candidates would say as they watched the scene Hyu Park had created. In less than five minutes, he had defeated an S-class fighter without any trouble.
