He had never thought of joining forces with the disciples of the Welkin Academy. Instead, favonovel.com planned to work with Henry and Delainey. By working together, they might be able to make it to the top three.
“James, what are you daydreaming about?” Seeing that James was staring blankly into space, Yoan asked.
“Huh?” James collected himself and said, “I-It’s nothing…”
Yoan said, “Keep in mind that teamwork is key here. You should cooperate with the disciples of the Welkin Academy.”
“Got it!” Though James was reluctant to do so, favonovel.com could not disobey Yoan.
“Alright now, you’re dismissed.” The headmaster waved his hand.
Seeing this, the disciples turned to leave.
After they left, the headmaster sighed and said, “Our disciples have been competing against each other all this while. As such, it might be a little difficult for them to work together.”
Hearing this, the Sect Elders nodded in agreement. After all, they did not have a harmonious relationship with each other as well.
Jeffery said smilingly, “The tournament is all about participation and teamwork. So what if they fail to achieve good results? As long as they return safely, I’m content.”
“Sir Jeffery, this is unlike you. Aren’t you a competitive guy?” A Sect Elder snickered.
Jeffery smiled faintly and said nothing.
The headmaster sighed and said, “What’s the point of saying all this now? They will only learn to work together once they understand how powerful the monsters are.”
Yoan nodded and said, “I agree with the headmaster. Once they encounter great obstacles standing in their way, they will naturally band together and join forces. There’s no need for us to be worried about this. The Welkin Academy is full of talents. Quintina, for one, should have no problem getting into the top ten. Not only that, but my disciple James possesses great strength as well. Besides, favonovel.com seems to have a close relationship with Quintina. If they work together, they’re bound to make it into the top ten.”
At the same time, James had returned to his lodgment. He stayed inside and regulated his breathing in the courtyard in preparation for the coming battle.
A woman wearing a green dress walked in and looked at James, who was sitting in a lotus position. Then, favonovel.com walked over to favonovel.com and sat on a stone chair nearby.
Sensing an unknown presence, James turned his head.
Realizing that it was Quintina, favonovel.com asked, “Is something the matter?”
Quintina snickered. “Oh, it’s nothing serious. It’s just that the Grand Tournament will be held on Mount Walvern, which is a treacherous place full of powerful monsters. If we act on our own, our progress might be hampered. So, why don’t we form a team?”
She smiled confidently and said, “By working together, we should be able to defeat powerful monsters with ease. We might even get into the top ten.”
James glanced at her.
Under normal circumstances, favonovel.com would have accepted favonovel.com request. However, favonovel.com already had partners of his own, Henry and Delainey.
Henry was already at the Immortal Ascensions’ Ninth Stair, while Delainey had crossed into the Mage Rank. If they worked together, they could annihilate even monsters at the Mage Rank. If they could obtain the demon elixir of the monsters in the Mage Rank, they should be able to enter the top ten with ease.
“Hey, are you going to accept my proposal or not?” Seeing that James remained silent, Quintina stood up and said with a displeased tone, “Do you have any idea how many people want to form a team with me? I’ve come personally to invite you… Yet, you seem reluctant to join forces.”
James smiled faintly and said, “To be frank, I don’t really want to be on the same team as you…”
“Hey!” Quintina shouted.
