Overgeared

‘What is this...?’

‘He actually appeared at this critical timing?’

Haster and Hurent each had a plausible plan. Haster was planning to deal the final blow to the exhausted Hurent, while Hurent planned to fight back using the ‘Developing into a Legend’ title. Yes, both of them were aiming for victory. They had no doubt that they were in a position to win. At this time, the uninvited guest named Grid appeared, rendering their plans useless.

‘I can’t help thinking that he aimed for this.’ Haster missed his chance to win because of Grid and started to feel doubtful. How could Grid emerge at this exquisite timing? There was only one truth.

‘He emerged on purpose. That’s for sure,’ Haster thought this.

He was the strongest talent who could see through other people and felt a sense of alarm from Grid.

‘Grid was guarding against me. He must’ve received my location from Asmophel and has been monitoring me.’

It seemed that Grid was worried that Haster would go one step further by defeating Aura Master Hurent, which was why he had appeared when Haster was on the verge of victory.

‘This is a method of someone who keeps the highest position. It is truly scary...’

Haster got a grasp of the situation thanks to his reasonable (?) line of thought. Meanwhile, Hurent was disturbed by the situation. ‘Grid knew about me?’

Hurent was reminded that Piaro served Grid. It was likely that Piaro reported many things to Grid.

‘That’s right. Grid must’ve known that I’ve been a farmer in the Overgeared Kingdom for many years.’

In the first place, the Overgeared Kingdom belonged to Grid. There was little chance that Grid didn’t know what was happening in his country. He had even known that Haster and Hurent were fighting right now. Hurent got a strange feeling.

‘Grid, are you angry at your fields being ruined?’

In other words...

‘It means that he respects my hard work in the fields under Piaro... This polite attitude is a means of showing respect.’

no good feelings toward Grid. It was natural. He was an American, yet Grid had knocked him down in only five seconds. Due to Grid, Hurent—one of the strongest rankers in the world—had lost his reputation and went on wandering around for a long time.
