After being shaken, Gerald finally flinched as he turned to look at Xaverie.
In fact, he had entered such a state ever since the five disks in his body reappeared a little earlier. With that in mind, Gerald could not calm down enough to continue watching the fight with full concentration.
While Gerald was still quite aware of the incidents happening around him, his mind was more focused on the disk, which explained his lack of action.
“What are you looking at me for? Look down there! Your friend will die!” xaverie said, feeling speechless.
"He's not really my friend... He's just my student!" gerald replied with a subtle smile, deeming his anxiety a little funny.
"…Murids? Are you still half asleep ?! ” grumbled Xaverie resignedly as his friends turned to look at him with strange gazes.
“Not really, no. Anyway, I don't think I've mentioned it, but I appreciate your kindness before, Xaverie! Now, I will go to help my disciple!” gerald replied as he stood up, finally ready to leave the sidelines.
Seeing how big of a problem Perla is currently having, Gerald knows he must step in before something bad happens to him.
However, before he could even move, he felt Xaverie pull up his sleeve while saying, “What are you doing, Gerald? You can't just move! They'll kill you!”
Chuckling in response, Gerald simply replied in an indifferent tone, "I'll be fine, don't worry!"
With that, he slowly started walking towards the platform area…
Right at that moment, Carlos — who had finished waiting for — was just about to pull Perla and Xyrielle towards him when he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling, “I hope you are okay, Mr Laugh!”
He recognized the voice anywhere, and Carlos' feet instantly trembled in panic as if he had just been struck by lightning.
Slowly turning around to see if the owner of the voice was really him, Carlos eyes widened as he realized that his worst nightmare had come true!
“... Hm? Wait... You again!” yaakov exclaimed in confusion as he watched Gerald slowly walk past him.
“...Gerald..?” shocked Xyrielle muttered who was also aware of Gerald's current presence.
Xaverie and his friends were both flabbergasted as they watched the calm Gerald—who had put his hand into his pocket— finally walked up the platform.
Now that Gerald was a bit too close to feeling comfortable, Carlos found himself gulping as he took a few steps back, his eyes narrowed towards Gerald as he muttered, "...What's... What are you doing here...?"
Seeing Carlos sudden change in attitude, Ghose narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Gerald before asking in a cold tone, “...Who is this guy, Carlos? And why are you so afraid of him? Don't tell me he made all those wounds on you..”.
Feeling difficult to speak even without stuttering, Carlos quickly replied, “...That's him fine..!”.
"I saw. How interesting..I feel that this is the first time I have met such an amazing young person.After all, if he is really as strong as you say, Carlos, Carlos, I don't mind helping you kill him today! Although he might be able to inflict terrible wounds on you, I believe that with our combined strength, we will be able to defeat at least half of those who have entered the training world!” tease Ghose.
"No!" carlos replied almost instantly as he shook his head quickly.
"What's? Whynot? Don't tell me you're too scared to move!” ghose replied, feeling a little surprised.
"I? Afraid? Jesus, I'm Carlos! A man who can enter the world of training without a hitch! Do you think I know what fear is? Under normal circumstances, even if I hit a much stronger opponent, I would still bet and defeat them all despite understanding that I could easily be the one to be left to die in the end! However, note that whenever I do something frivolous — like trying to drain my opponent's important qi or against amazing people — it is always because I know that winning will increase strength or my fame! obviously Carlos while shivering.
"…How is it?" asked Ghose with a slight frown.
“I mean clear and simple. I know I'll die if I face it, and I don't want to just perish!” the old man replied as his legs trembled for the last time before his knees touched the ground with a gentle 'sounding.
“Please save my life, great sir.!”.
