Saville's eyes went wide and looked up toward where President Presley was sitting. Even though he could not see through the protective dome, he knew that President Presley could see him.
Everyone at the spectator seats saw where he was looking, and they followed his gaze, looking at President Presley who was completely unaffected and was still sipping his tea calmly.
"You gave that kid Soul Rejuvenation Pills?" King Frederic asked out of curiosity. "You won't even sell it when I asked."
"Sometimes, to achieve something, you have to agree to things that you won't otherwise…" President Presley replied with a smile.
"I'm starting to wonder if that kid has some huge secret that only you know," King Frederic said as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
To the king's remark, President Presley merely smiled at King Frederic cryptically before turning his gaze back to the battlefield.
…
Saville was disappointed by the turn of events. He looked down at the one Soul Rejuvenation Pill that he had and thought about it clearly. In the end, he clenched his fist tightly, almost crushing the pill, as he hissed, "I surrender!" '
There was no choice. Juin had a lot more Soul Rejuvenation Pill than him. If he took his only pill now, the most he could do was to prolong the battle. And in the end, he would still lose when his soul power reserve ran out.
"It's fine… I still qualify to be in the first team…" Saville thought as he glared at Juin with his fists clenched. He then comforted himself by thinking, "I'll keep this for the Battle…"
The Head Judge quickly got up onto the stage, but before he could declare the winner…
Thud!
He quickly turned to look at the person making the sound, which was Juin… who was now lying on the battle stage.
"Just announce the winner…" Tucker said, coming out from the special seats. He walked toward Juin and nudged him using his foot. "Hey, winner, how's your body?"
"Erm… Need some rest…" Juin mumbled weakly. He then glanced at Saville, who was looking over as he walked down from the stage, and chuckled. "I thought he won't surrender. Just a few more seconds, and he would have won. I don't even have the energy left to swallow the pill."
And he was being honest. His limbs were trembling from overexertion, and he had directed all his remaining energy to keep his body modest and covered. "Can I…" He looked at Tucker before looking down at his body, where his lower half was still covered in flames. The blue flames had turned red, and they were somewhat unstable, as if they were about to be extinguished at any time.
Tucker nodded and took off his shirt. "You still need to extinguish the flames…"
"Just drop it…" Juin said. "The flames have no burning ability right now…"
He was telling the truth. The flames were to protect his modesty and could not even burn cotton at the moment.
Tucker covered Juin with the shirt as he said, "We need to get you some special clothes, if you are going to constantly burst into flames like that…"
He then stood up and continued as he gave Juin a thumbs up, "But that's a cool spell! I have never seen any human who can pull that off!"
Juin chuckled wryly as he thought, "That's probably because I'm not even human… At least only the shell is human…"
Tucker helped him to stand up, but Juin's body felt completely devoid of energy. Juin had to completely lean against Tucker for support, or he would have fallen flat on his face.
They went to the Head Judge, who then announced, "In the battle between the ice-user Saville Roc.h.e.s.ter and fire-user Juin, Juin won!!!"
Loud applause and roaring cheers could be heard from miles away when the Head Judge finally made the announcement. For those who bet on Juin, their voices and claps were the loudest. Even for those who bet against him, some of them still cheered for that spectacular show earlier.
They had seen fights between fire Elementalists and others before, but never in this way, and there was definitely no fire Elementalist that could cover their body with blazing flames like that.
The Head Judge then looked at Juin. After checking out his current condition, he asked, "Are you able to keep fighting?"
"Huh…?" Juin looked at him. "I have another fight…"
"Because of the imbalance in participants, we ended up having three semi-finalists. You, Mr. Wolfe Sterling, and Mr. Luca Rockefeller." The Head Judge sighed as he massaged his glabella. "We thought of going straight for a three-way final battle, but that's out of precedent. And so, because Mr. Luca Rockefeller was the previous winner, we judges discussed among ourselves and decided that he can proceed to the final round."
"When's the next battle?" Tucker asked.
The Head Judge thought for a moment before saying, "In two hours. And the final match would be held at night."
"An hour?!" Cyrus pushed the Head Judge and snapped, "Look at this corpse!"
He slapped Juin on the back and said, "How's this corpse going to fight in two hours' time?!"
"I'm sorry, but that's the time slot we have…" the Head Judge said, sounding somewhat apologetically, yet his face showed otherwise. He then saw a young servant boy signaling him and turned to look at what the boy was trying to show him.
Wolfe Sterling was standing at one of the entrances, and he beckoned the Head Judge over.
"Looks like Mr. Sterling has something to talk to me about… If you'll excuse me…" He bowed at Juin and Tucker before leaving the battle stage.
…
"Two hours…" Tucker looked at Juin. "Would you be able to recover in two hours?" he asked as he led Juin and Cyrus into a carriage that was waiting outside one of the entrances. He then said to the driver, "Back to the abode, please."
He had to get Juin rested as much as possible for now.
Juin nodded. "With the help of the Soul Rejuvenation Pills… I guess…"
"That's for your soul power reserve… What about your physical strength? You won't be able to recover to your top condition in so little time."
"I'll manage…" Juin sighed and closed his eyes.
