Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 449: Faster Than the Speed of Sound

"No need, I have it. I can teach you tonight."

"Really? What kind of national martial arts is it?"

"Awei Eighteen Forms."

"???"

...

Watanabe Gorou listened to the absurdly strange voices around him.

Somewhat incomprehensible.

But he felt the voice was somewhat familiar.

However, that doesn’t seem to be the key point.

The key point is, the content of their conversation seems to suggest that he is not the first place?

"Wait, I’m not the first place?"

Watanabe Gorou’s brows furrowed deeply.

How could he possibly not be in first place?

He is the first place.

He opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the two people who were speaking, but those two had already walked far away, though thankfully, they didn’t go too far and left behind a beautiful and handsome back view.

Looking at these two silhouettes.

Watanabe Gorou’s memory filled up.

Instantly, he recognized the backs of Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong from the Longxia Federation!

Weren’t they participating in the competition?

At this moment, they should still be amidst those obstacles.

Why are they here?

He was puzzled.

But he quickly woke up to a possibility!

He immediately turned around and chased after Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong to question them.

But the moment he turned around, his gaze swept to the side.

He saw next to the base a fighter jet that was still radiating heat from its engines. His moment of realization became complete!

Just at this moment, other members from the Baka Federation’s base came to him.

One of them, a man with a characteristic beard, looked at Watanabe Gorou somberly yet with a touch of loss.

He consoled, "Watanabe-kun, you’ve performed very well, don’t feel down. We’ll make a comeback in the next match!"

He was fine until the consolation, but the moment he was consoled, Watanabe Gorou roared like a madman.

"How is this possible, how could this happen, I am clearly the first! I heard it myself, how did they become the first?"

"I was the first to reach the base, and after I got there, I heard them behind me."

"How did they suddenly appear in front of me? This is impossible! They must have cheated!"

"I want to file a complaint! I demand a thorough investigation! They must have cheated!"

Watching Watanabe Gorou as if he had lost his mind, the bearded man felt distressed.

He had seen Watanabe Gorou’s effort during the final sprint.

For victory.

He even disregarded his own body.

Now, Watanabe Gorou still had the aftereffects of overloading his Spirit Manipulation Energy, with blood-red skin, tiny capillaries burst, facial swelling, and blood oozing from his eyes and ears.

These were all the results of Watanabe Gorou’s life-risking efforts.

But the outcome clearly did not match his effort.

The bearded man patted Watanabe Gorou on the shoulder, feeling sad and helpless, but that was the reality.

Unrequited love is the norm.

Accept what cannot be changed, and make peace with it.

He said, "Watanabe-kun, don’t be sad, second place is also good. We can take back first place in the next match."

Watanabe Gorou, after all, was a strong contender.

His mental resilience was not that poor.

After a brief moment of disbelief, he soon accepted the fact.

Xiao Zhan could have cheated, which was possible, but if nobody had noticed it, then you couldn’t accuse someone of cheating.

He just couldn’t comprehend why, when he was certain that Xiao Zhan was right behind him, Xiao Zhan still ended up appearing in front of him.

He stood there, dumbfounded, unable to figure it out.

The bearded man saw that he had calmed down and wasn’t as frantic as before, so he didn’t say anything, just patted his shoulder and left.

Watanabe Gorou now needed to self-regulate.

Extrinsic forces are fleeting, regardless of how much is said; only intrinsic power can endure.

After they left, it wasn’t long before other Federation competitors arrived in succession.

Following them were the people from the Nature Federation, and the Lizard Federation ranked third.

Tano was responsible for covering the rear. The ranking wasn’t important to him, but he still arrived sixth.

Gu Chen was the ninth. He was injured.

It was only with the help of Chu Mo that he managed to return ninth to the base; otherwise, he would probably have been left far behind by others.

Tano saw the dejected Watanabe Gorou and then saw the fighter jet parked at the center of the base. Without asking, he knew that Watanabe Gorou had not taken first place.

He walked over to Watanabe Gorou’s side, not saying a word, just silently offering comfort.

"Watanabe-kun, how do you think Xiao Zhan and the others got ahead of me? I clearly heard them behind me the whole time," Watanabe Gorou was still dwelling on it.

But when Tano heard the name Xiao Zhan, he was suddenly surprised, "Watanabe-kun, what did you say? Xiao Zhan?"

Xiao Zhan from the Longxia Federation?

They took first place?

How is that possible?

Isn’t the fighter jet from the Pretty Federation?

Watanabe Gorou gave a bitter laugh, "It was Xiao Zhan who seized the Pretty Federation’s fighter jet."

With this explanation, Tano understood.

So it was Xiao Zhan who had grabbed the Pretty Federation’s fighter jet.

However, understanding this, Tano couldn’t help but feel even more astonished.

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, just Fifth Grade Spirit Masters, yet they managed to seize a fighter jet from the hands of three Sixth Grade Spirit Masters of the Pretty Federation?

What level of strength... just how strong are Xiao Zhan and the others, really?

He couldn’t believe it.

"Watanabe-kun, the Longxia Federation has always been cunning. We were careless this time, but next time, we will surely take first place," Tano reassured Watanabe Gorou.

Watanabe Gorou shook his head and said, "Tano-kun, defeat is defeat, there’s no need to make excuses. What I can’t understand now is why I was so sure that Xiao Zhan and the others were behind me, but why were they in front of me when I came to my senses?"

Upon hearing this question.

Tano realized the reason behind Watanabe Gorou’s dispirited condition.

He looked at the fighter jet, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Watanabe-kun, have you ever considered one thing, that the speed of the fighter jet has already surpassed the speed of sound?"

Upon hearing this, Watanabe Gorou stood as if struck by lightning, frozen in place!

The air around him seemed to have stopped flowing.

Time seemed to have halted.

It was only after who knows how long that he finally took a breath, pulling at the corners of his mouth in self-ridicule.

...

Inside the Longxia Federation Base.

Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong returned in triumph.

Before they even entered the house, Song Chao’an and Qin Wanfeng came out to personally greet them.

"Well done, lads, like mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; you took the first place effortlessly! Youthful talent, truly youthful talent!" Song Chao’an was ecstatic.

Both his hands were placed on Xiao Zhan’s shoulders, and his eyes kept patting and looking, over and over.

How pleasant to the eye, how handsome he appeared.

Then, he subconsciously raised his hand, intending to pat Ye Youlong’s shoulder.
