The Author's POV

Chapter 425

At the moment I was currently sitting down inside a famous elven shop where one could enjoy the fantastic scenery of the city from above. Sat with one of my legs crossed, I enjoyed the nice northern breeze.

"Hey."

Taking a sip of the famous elven honeydew drink, I greeted Jin who was walking over with a serious look on his face.

Squinting his eyes, Jin wordlessly sat on the seat opposite of me.

"What's with the serious look?"

I asked.

He looked like someone that was just about to fight his biggest enemy. How strange.

"...You still haven't told me why you're meeting up with me."

Pausing, Jin placed his hand on the table and leaned forward.

"What exactly do you want?"

There was deep apprehension in his eyes as he looked at me. My hand which was holding onto the cup froze.

"What?"

The moment I processed his words, I instantly became confused. I then proceeded to put my cup down.

"What makes you think that I called you here with any intent?"

"...So you just called me here for the sake of calling me."

"Yeah, pretty much. I was bored."

Opening and closing his mouth, Jin tried to say something, but from the looks of it, my answer had made him speechless.

Seeing him like that, I forced myself to not laugh.

"I'm joking, I actually do have something to talk about."

Jin's brows furrowed upon hearing this. Before he could say anything else, I continued.

"Aside from being bored, there was actually something that I wanted to talk about. It's regarding our next opponents. Since you train so much, I figured that you didn't know much regarding our next opponents, Plus..."

Lowering my head, I looked at my watch.

"We should get our matchups soon."

In about ten minutes or so.

That aside, Jin was the type of person that would not make any preparations prior to when fighting an opponent.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but it was because he just preferred using that time to train. Ever since meeting him, I noticed that he had become a training fanatic.

Either way, the reason why I was telling him about the next opponents was because I wanted to avoid a similar scenario to that of Emma's and also increase the chances of him winning.

I wanted to make sure no other slip-ups happened.

Humanity joining the alliance was a must. Even if Kevin and I performed well if Jin and the others didn't perform well, the probability of the other races allowing us to join would drop drastically.

At my words, Jin finally showed some interest.

"Continue."

Nodding my head, I proceeded to take out my tablet and placed it on the table.

Then, tapping on its screen, a holographic projection appeared before the two of us. On it were the different profiles of the top thirty-two contestants.

"So, here are the people that you need to watch out for. As you probably know, the strongest representatives from the three other races are in a league of their own. Honestly, given our current rank, it would be quite hard to beat them, but it's not entirely impossible."

Pausing, I looked at Jin who was staring at the profiles next to me.

"How much of your five-star manual have you learned?"

"Huh?"

Surprise flashed across Jin's face as his head snapped in my direction.

With his brows furrowed tightly, he asked.

"How do you know that I practice a five-star manual?"

I rolled my eyes at his question.

"Don't tell me the Horton family doesn't have a five-star manual?"

"...They do."

"Right, and given your talent, there's no way they wouldn't give it to you."

Although he still did not look convinced by my words, Jin eventually let it go and slowly answered.

"Greater realm of mastery."
