Amon, The Legendary Overlord

117 Chapter 117

"Papa, who is this boy? Why is this old man protecting him so much?" Holding the sleeve of his father's shirt, Aguinaldo asked, annoyed.

He didn't understand why this couldn't be resolved soon. After all, compared to him, who was that boy?

For the first time in his life, Mirulipa felt like slapping his son. He looked in the direction of Old Hazael worriedly. As arrogant as he was, Old Hazael's status and strength was far greater than hisown. Even the family background was worse than Old Hazael's.

Seeing that Old Hazael wasn't even bothering to look at him, as he was attempting a psychological tug of war against Elder Yamashi, Mirulipa took a deep breath and sighed in relief. Then he said softly, "Don't provoke this old man; he is very powerful. Can't you see that even the elder is not going against him?"

Hearing this, Aguinaldo pouted, looking hurt. He never suffered so much complaint, and he never felt so downcast. Honestly, he wanted to do all sorts of things to those whores in front of him before he killed them all.

'If I had used my genes, I wouldn't have lost. He's just a brute who depends on girls to defend him! Just a pretty boy!' When he thought like that, Aguinaldo felt a little better.

Meanwhile, after the stalemate he had, however reluctant he was, Elder Yamashi decided to back off. The other teachers on his side were also afraid that it would become something more serious, while the other universities did not want to be part of it. Although they had some sort of alliance, if there was too be some sort of fight, they didn't necessarily need to get involved, especially when conflict was such a silly thing in their opinion.

Of course, most of them thought Elder Yamashi was being unreasonable. However, they remained silent. Some were even surprised and amazed at what Old Hazael did.

"Old man, I know we have our rivalries, but now you've gone too far! Don't regret it later!" After saying that, Elder Yamashi walked away. The teachers did the same.

Soon there was a division between the two universities. Like it or not, the enmity grew stronger between the universities; even the freshmen didn't have good impressions of each other.

The Golden Phoenix University was used to being arrogant, and seeing that their Elder left without getting what they wanted, they were jealous and hateful at the same time. Some targeted Amon.

Their thinking was simple: 'If I beat him, I'll become famous!'

Like geniuses, they couldn't wait to start making their names. Defeating Amon would be a good way to do that. Of course, only brainless idiots thought so. After all, why did Old Hazael protect him so much, even teacher Flavia? Wasn't it shown how he crushed Aguinaldo's confidence, making him whimper for his father? If they couldn't even think after seeing all this happen, they deserved to go and get beaten up.

Because of the conflict between the two universities, they cut out all the nonsense and wanted to start the test in the secret realm immediately. Soon, they began to report the dangers they might encounter, as well as the amount of items they could bring with them. Some explanations had already been said before but were repeated, while others were new, such as the fact that the participants had to be trapped for at least in the secret realm that was part of almost the entire planet for half a month.

Most felt insecure. After all, none of them had to fend for themselves. The fact that they had to go to an unknown realm and possibly spend the night in a forest with dangers almost knocking at their doors made them feel quite fearful. Of course, there were also those who had an adventurous spirit and felt excited.

"The portal in the middle of the plaza can only be passed through by humans under the age of 20. If you have already reached 21+ years and are hiding your real age, be aware that even if you are up to 25 years old, you can enter. You will not have any protection in the secret realm and if you die or are fatally injured, you will not have the protection that was mentioned. Death will be permanent!" The one who said that was Elder Wilian of Universal University.

Those who were 19 and were close to turning 20 were afraid, then asked if this would effect them in any way, as well as asked how it starts to be counted, since in some planets and countries age was counted during the nine months spent in the belly of their mothers.

"Regarding that, the count for she starts from birth." With his keen ear, Elder Wilian of Universal University listened and answered the question many were having.

At that moment many who were worried breathed a sigh of relief. Until then, it seemed that none had broken the rules and no freshman had reached the age of 20.

"Very well, I already have the list of teams from each university. When I call out a team name, the team can go through the portal," Elder Wilian said and without wasting time already started calling out the name of the first team: "Heavenly World University Mysterious Team can enter!"

Soon a team of five emerged from the Heavenly Sky University crowd wearing masks.

"Maybe they want to live up to the team name?" Ariel muttered in an amused tone.

"Mmm, sounds interesting, but we named our team Amon. Let's pretend... Well, other than Ariel, let's be his Harem?" Julia said jokingly, but Barbara took it seriously.

"Let's go with it. Looks interesting," Barbara said with amusement.

"I'm in." Ariel liked the idea. It  did sound interesting. She added, "Too bad we missed the chance to name the Harem team of Amon..."

As the conversation revolved around this, they even forgot about all the drama that had happened earlier. To tell the truth, they were quite nervous about what had happened before. After all, someone with more than 4 genetic factors formed was not something they could fight. Luckily, they had teacher Flávia and Old Hazael protecting them. Of course, teacher Sérgio was unhappy with what happened. Especially when seeing teacher Flávia protecting Amon.

Disregarding this, Amon went and thanked teacher Flávia and Old Hazael. He knew when to be grateful and not say his thanks out loud, as he knew at the moment he was too weak to return the favor. However, he now owed them a favor and intended to repay them when he became stronger!

"Stay well and strong, so you're already thanking me," Old Hazael laughed and added, "If you get first place, it will bring a lot of prestige to the university. Doing that will already be helping me."

"I'll try my best," Amon promised.

"Good, good, good!"

Seeing that he finally saw a firmer, more confident expression on Amon's face, the old Hazel was happier and he laughed out loud with sincerity. The trust he had in Amon was very great: that's why he was willing to fight so hard for him.

"Amon Team from UGRG University can enter!"

When Elder Wilian's spoke, old Hazel clapped Amon on the back and said with a gentle smile, "Go and show that I made the right choice!"

"I will go, but this time, it won't be just me." Amon was also very grateful to the girls, who, at the moment, were willing to risk putting themselves in danger for him, which warmed his heart.

He said, "Ariel, Maisa, Julia, and Barbara will be with me."

"Yes, yes, do your best!" Old Hazael laughed again.

The teachers around were with their mouths open. After all, seeing how happy as Old Hazael was always, he had never been so happy and close to a student, especially after he provoked the Golden Phoenix University so strongly.

'What is so special about this student? I can't tell...' Teacher Sérgio wrinkled his nose with jealousy and disgust.

Maisa, Julia, Barbara, and even Ariel were surprised by what Amon said. It was hard to imagine him talking so much, especially because of them. Because of that, they walked beside Amon with their heads held high towards the portal.

'Amon trusts us!'

This was something they very much wanted. After all, Amon's fast-forwarding always had the girls worried and they pushed themselves to try even harder.

When the fledglings saw Amon and the girls heading towards the portal, there wasn't one that didn't look. After all, such big drama had happened because of the boy; there was no way they weren't curious about him. Some like Golden Phoenix University also thought of defeating him and becoming famous.

When Amon's team started to go through the portal, it was a sticky feeling, as if they had been bathed in jelly. Not only that, they had the strange feeling of their bodies being analyzed and creating a scanned copy. It was very strange and uncomfortable. Despite not having pain, it did not exclude the discomfort they felt. They didn't know how many minutes passed until finally their vision returned and they found themselves surrounded by trees and all kinds of different plants.

*HiSSSS!*

A monster was startled by their sudden arrival, and on all fours it jumped back in fright. Soon after, it became furious and let out a strange roar.

"Stand into battle stance!" Ariel warned.

Amon was the first to circulate the genes and lightning began to crackle in his hands. The monster looked like a deer but had three horns, nearly 300 cm long and 170 cm tall on four legs. It had fur that looked like an old dirty brown carpet and bloodthirsty eyes.
