Chapter 1280: The end, the superior fighter

Bridgit shot into the sky like a rocket. Wu Yan rode it all the way to Lancelot's location.

Silvia saw the cold lights in Wu Yan's deep red eyes and her expression changed.

Asias, Stradas, and Hydras will grow wings upon transforming into a Maestro. All Maestros can fly in the sky.

When an Earth dragon jumps into the sky to take on a Maestro, most would call this a suicide move.

Silvia felt threatened despite the apparent foolishness of this move.

She wanted to order Lancelot to deploy defensive magic. However, the shadow of a whip entered her vision.

That was Bridgit's tail.

Smack

The tail whip hit Lancelot's sturdy torso with a crisp thud. That whip was enough to send Lancelot into the ground

Boom

The dragon crashed into the ground as it suffered multiple injuries.

"Lancelot!"

Silvia avoided injuries. However, she is more concerned with the state of her Pal. the sound of something cutting through air reached her.

She looked up and saw Bridget smashing into Lancelot like a crashing mountain.

Bam

Gaoorh

Lancelot almost lost consciousness.

"Ah..."

Silvia also almost got knocked away. However, she held on to her reins.

But, this duel was over.

Bridgit had a magical orb in its mouth and it aimed straight at Lancelot.

Silvia and Lancelot knew.

Another move and Wu Yan will fire the magic shot at nigh point-blank range.

Wu Yan rode Bridgit gallantly as his temporary pal stepped on Lancelot. The instructor finally recovered when he saw Silvia's stunned expression.

"The victor is Rowan Randall!"

The students also exchanged looks of disbelief. They started cheering out loud.

"He won! He did it!"

"Rowan won against the dragonar princess who had a Maestro!"

"I-incredible."

"I see why he was chosen as Rebecca's personal bodyguard."

They revised their perceptions of Wu Yan. They started praising him for his skills.

"Ash! Did you see it?!"

Raymond jumped while glomping Ash.

"Bridgit won against a Maestro! She won against Silvia's Lancelot!"

"Rowan won, not Bridgit."

Ash rolled his eyes. He is also ecstatic over Wu Yan's victory.

If I am half as good as Rowan then nobody will look down on me even if my pal isn't born yet, right?

This is what it means to be a true genius dragon tamer, using someone else's Pal to win against a superior dragon.

"Thanks."

Wu Yan patted Bridgit on its neck. It purred while excitedly receiving the reward from its temporary master.

Silvia returned to her senses. She called out to Wu Yan who is leading Bridgit out of the arena.

"Wait, I haven't lost yet!"

"You did."

Wu Yan frowned.

"If that's the case, I want a rematch!"

"Why?"

Wu Yan blew her off.

"Is there a reason why we must fight again?"

"Of course!"

Silvia looked crestfallen.

"I-I lost to an Asia. I cannot permit this."

"You can't permit it?"

Wu Yan turned cold.

"What do you mean? You mean I can't win because you're a princess?"

"N-no, it's not like that."

Silvia realized her words sounded weird. She turned pale.

"I-I..."

Her eyes were misty with tears.

"How can I become an excellent Paladin at this rate?!"

"A paladin?"

Wu Yan raised an eyebrow. He can see she is very disappointed over her defeat. He sighed.

"Look, I don't know what you have going on inside your heart but you're probably feeling extremely frustrated that I used an Asia to beat your Maestro, right?"

Silvia tensed up.

Wu Yan closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he started chastising her.

"Listen up, Silvia."

She didn't think he would call her by her given name.

The students also gasped.

Wu Yan ignored the masses. He told Silvia the exact reason she lost.

"I won because I am stronger. Lancelot is formidable and you're just as skilled."

"Stronger than me?"

Silvia trembled.

"It is that simple."

Wu Yan released Bridgit's leash. He walked over to Silvia with his robes fluttering with the wind. Silvia held her breath.

"If you really can't let this go and want to prove your power then go back and reflect on this battle. Refine your skills, become stronger, come back when you're ready to issue another proper challenge. Don't be a sore loser, jumping into another fight minutes after losing the previous fight is just recklessness."

"Or, maybe, you think I won on a fluke?"

"N-no..."

Silvia bit her lips.

Anyone with eyes knew Wu Yan fought and won by his skills. He didn't use any underhanded tricks.

It was as he pointed out, that he won because he was stronger.

"Okay, do you think you can win against me if you dueled me right now?"

Wu Yan narrowed his eyes.

"I am down to fight if you're that reckless to issue another challenge."

Silvia was silenced just like the students of her class.

"Become stronger then come back and challenge me again."

"I will accept your challenge then."

Wu Yan led Bridgit out of the arena.

"Stronger..."

Silvia looked at Wu Yan's receding figure with burning motivation in her heart.

"Yes, I will grow stronger."

"Even if it is for his sake, I must grow stronger..."
