X-Dragon Era-Chapter 629 - Each Takes What They Need_3

The most important thing was that Xin Yun and the others stood on solid ground. With so many spectators present having heard everything, what would happen if word got out? How would Mountain Sea Academy be judged? How would the triumvirate be viewed? These were all problems.

In an awkward silence, Yi Luo Xiang gently began, "Don't treat us like children to be placated. You should know... not only can we represent the academy in the competition, but if we wish, we can also join as a free team. However, if we do that, any glory we win would have nothing to do with Mountain Sea Academy. Therefore... since we represent Mountain Sea in battle, we certainly should get something."

"Hiss..." Upon hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, the entire place instantly became deathly quiet, each person subconsciously taking in a sharp breath. With that move, Yi Luo Xiang had checkmated the three bigwigs.

However, taking such a risk was dangerous. One misstep might create an impression of greed. But... since Yi Luo Xiang was the one who spoke, naturally it wasn't a problem.

Quickly, Yi Luo Xiang continued, "Of course, we don't necessarily want something. As our captain has just said, you could give us nothing at all and we would still fight on behalf of the academy. But if you must do something, then don't even think about fobbing us off with some badge, as that would be an insult to our intelligence!"

"Whoosh..." Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's firm statement, all the spectators once again erupted into noise. Among the more than three hundred thousand attendees, at least two hundred thousand adults fully understood Yi Luo Xiang's point. You could choose not to reward, and the Fantasy Dream Team would still represent Mountain Sea Academy, but if you insisted on giving a reward, forget about any honor badges—that would be a blatant insult to their intelligence.

Greedy? How could that be possible? They simply didn't want to be humiliated. As the captain, Xin Yun had made it clear. Regardless of the situation, the Fantasy Dream Team would represent Mountain Sea Academy. You could do nothing; you could withhold any rewards. But if you insist on awarding some honor

badge, sorry... we refuse!

A dead end! Correct... after Yi Luo Xiang's last few words, the three leaders realized they had been cornered, faced with an unprecedented headache.

Not to reward was out of the question. Yi Luo Xiang had laid out her stance. They didn't need to represent Mountain Sea Academy to compete; they could do so as a free team if they wished. If the academy dared not to award them, they would definitely go their own way.

But what to reward? Forget about the honor badges; that had been categorically rejected. The question now was not about whether to reward but what to reward.

After pondering a long while, still unable to think of a suitable reward, and following a long silence, the dean, whose brain was a bit more nimble, suddenly brightened up, smiling as he said, "We didn't consider this thoroughly, and there has been an issue with the arrangement of rewards. However... the academy truly values your efforts. If you're not satisfied with the proposed reward, then tell us, what do you want? As long as it's within our power to provide, it won't be an issue."

Hearing the dean's words, Xin Yun smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't be polite. I'll just say what's on my mind, and it won't matter even if you don't agree."

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the three leaders simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. What they feared was the lack of a request. Now that there was a request, everything could be managed. Contemplating for a moment... the trio simultaneously agreed.

Seeing this, Xin Yun smiled and said, "This time, let's waive the reward. This competition might bring great honor and benefits to the academy, but we compete for ourselves too, so let's leave it at that for now, with no need for any reward..."

At this point, Xin Yun paused, then continued, "Before we achieve any results, we will not seek any rewards. But if... and I mean if! We can bring home the championship from the World Academy Challenge, then the academy must make a significant gesture."

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the eyes of the three leaders lit up. If they could truly secure the championship, it would be utterly incredible. Whether in terms of reputation or profit, the potential effects on Mountain Sea City and Mountain Sea Academy were incalculable.

Any academy that won the championship would be considered the world's top academy for the next thirty years. The immense benefits this would bring, from any perspective, were beyond measure!

Taking a deep breath, the dean solemnly said, "Alright, I can guarantee that if you can win the championship for Mountain Sea, as long as your requests are reasonable, we will meet them all."

With a slight smile, Xin Yun said indifferently, "Let's make our position clear from the outset. Forget the honor badges, forget the lifetime achievement awards and the like. Our request is simple..."

"Speak! What do you want..." The leaders said in unison in response to Xin Yun's words.

Facing the eager questioning from the dean, Xin Yun took a deep breath and then resolutely said, "If we can win this World Academy Challenge, then... we don't need honor-based rewards, nor do we want monetary or material ones."

At this, Xin Yun paused slightly, then continued, "What we need is something substantial, the kind of help that will really aid us."
