Another World Mall-Chapter 647: Battle That Couldn’t Be Lost
"We have witnessed four amazing battles today. And this time, it will be the fifth battle, the battle between two vice captains of the team.
"Right now, Libation Fiesta has won all battles. Will Team Melesviet be able to finally achieve their first victory? Or will Libation Fiesta remain undefeated?
"We can only know the answer after witnessing their battles." Utaha looked excited. Even the principal had a smug look on his face.
All the bets he had placed were worth it.

If he lost that bet, he would lose everything he had built so far. But with this result alone, it would be clear that the Libation Fiesta would be in everyone's mind.
If Clovis could give a decent performance against Tesron, they would know that the first academy would ever be the best choice for them to go to. They could proudly declare that Clovis was once a part of the academy.
Meanwhile, other academies had their faces distorted. They were gnashing their teeth, not expecting such a result.
They thought Tesron could crush them like how he defeated the student council. But they were wrong.
Libation Fiesta was much more monstrous than they imagined. At this rate, they would be the ones losing everything.
In fact, without them noticing, a few investors had backed away so as not to be seen as their accomplices. If their schemes succeeded, the nation would probably tolerate them for bringing an outsider to wreak havoc. But with them failing, the nation would probably give them punishment.
They might even take a portion of their resources and give it to the first academy that brought pride to their nation, which would be a good thing for all the students in the first academy. In the end, the battle between academies wasn't limited to reputation. It was also a battle of resources.
With Libation Fiesta's help, the first academy would definitely flourish.
The principal was ready to take action against all those academies for ganging up on him.
Meanwhile, the two fighters were under immense pressure.
For Team Melesviet, Yasen Kavika was their line of defense. If even Yasen lost this battle, even if Tesron defeated Clovis, people would think Team Melesviet was nothing beside Tesron.
That was why Yasen was determined to win.
"You have to win. Do you hear me? If you don't win, we're going to be doomed!" Tesron's voice echoed through the Skyphone.
Yasen nodded his head. "Yes, Master. I will do anything possible to win this match."
Drugs? As if he could do it. The battle was monitored closely from both sides. As a result, nothing could escape from them. The moment they used drugs, the reputation of that team would crumble and they would be disqualified.
It was thanks to Ezekiel's existence that they could restore the balance between the two, stopping the other party from being shameless by turning a blind eye to their illegal actions.
Yasen took a deep breath, concentrating. 'If I have to become a monster, I will win this match.
'If I can't win, it's all over anyway.' Yasen's expression turned grim. The bridge had been crossed and collapsed. There was no turning back.
No matter what he had to use, he would win this battle.
Yasen clenched his fists and started walking to the arena.
…
On the other hand, Jay was closing his eyes, resting his head on his saber. He had one task, which was to win.
That was because of Clovis' words a few days ago.
…
A few days ago.
"Haaa!" Jay shouted while waving his sword down.
Bam!
The water inside the massive pool was sliced in two and got pushed to the side by the power of Jay's attack.
"Ha… Ha…" Jay panted a few times. He was drenched in both sweat and pool water, as he had already been training for six hours.
"Jay." Clovis' voice echoed from behind.
"Yeah, I know. Let me do it for a bit more. It's fine if it's cold. I will still eat it." Jay casually replied, thinking Clovis was dispatched by Kanaria to tell him to eat.
But Clovis simply walked to Jay and stood next to him with a serious expression.
Confused, Jay turned his head around. He didn't ask after seeing that expression.
Clovis closed his eyes for a moment before saying, "In the battle against Tesron, no matter what happens, you are going to be the last person to fight before me."
"!!!" Jay raised his eyebrows. He understood the meaning behind his words.
This was Clovis' trust in his vice captain. No matter what happened, Jay was the only one who would fight before him. Even if they lost all the battles, Clovis entrusted him to turn the situation around.
No matter how bad it was, Jay would be their last line of defense. It was a trust that Erwin or anyone else had.
Clovis suddenly smiled while asking, "Are you up for the task, buddy?"
Jay couldn't help but recall how they first met. It might be just a coincidence, but to him, it felt like fate.
He and Clovis met during that hunt and decided to ask each other to follow them. Although he lost this time, he realized Clovis was truly a much more capable captain than him.
Even so, this was a duel between two men. They had unleashed everything they had and would respect the result.
Beyond that result, they received something much more precious. They had become friends, the friends that they could entrust their backs to.
They knew it; they could feel it because their personalities in that regard were similar to each other.
From that point on, he witnessed all the growth they had. And the Libation Fiesta had reached this point.
There was only one answer he would give to Clovis when he entrusted that spot for him.
Jay couldn't help but smile as he stood up and turned to the arena.
"That's right… I have promised my best and oldest friend that I will win." Jay started walking to the arena. "In that case, I'll win, no matter who my opponent is."
