When Aina arrived at Elite Academy again, it undoubtedly caused a sensation. Although the Academy emphasized her ident.i.ty as an ordinary student, but this action in itself meant that Aina was not an ordinary student. As Aslan’s first princess, she was the purest symbol of royal beauty. Since she was a child, her dressing preferences and hobbies were closely watched as trends. Now more than ever, Aina and Huiyin’s partic.i.p.ation in military affairs resulted only in voices of praise by the Aslan public.

In the two days upon her arrival, w.a.n.g Zheng did not get the chance to see her, until Huiyin invited him over for afternoon tea.

Exactly as w.a.n.g Zheng expected, Aina was just beside Huiyin when he arrived.

w.a.n.g Zheng looked at her quietly. In the past individual Elite compet.i.tion he could only look at her from afar. This was the first time he stood so close to her since then. What was key was that expression in Aina’s eyes were clear and calm, hiding no more emotions from the past. Suddenly, w.a.n.g Zheng smiled.

“Sis, this is the guy I have especially invited, Saruman Snake Battle Team’s captain, w.a.n.g Zheng.” Huiyin introduced. “Senior, don’t be so mesmerized by my sister’s beauty, acknowledge my existence too.”

Huiyin laughed, easing the embarra.s.sing atmosphere.

w.a.n.g Zheng restrained his emotions, and smiled, “h.e.l.lo Aina.”

Aina stood up too and revealed a relaxed smile, “Student w.a.n.g Zheng, I’ve heard so much about you, Huiyin can’t stop talking about you these days.”

w.a.n.g Zheng looked at Huiyin. The little princess blinked her eyes innocently, showing a knowing expression.

“Huiyin is a good person. ”

“Good person?” It was the first time Aina heard someone using such a descriptive phrase, and could not help but laugh. This glorious laughter meant that although Aina did not change too much in terms of appearance, she was much more mature and generous. That same laughter must have stirred feelings in too many men. For w.a.n.g Zheng, it meant happiness, after his relations.h.i.+p got exposed, it seemed that Aina was never going to laugh so carefreely.

“Okay, sit down, w.a.n.g Zheng, do you know who your opponent is going to be in the third round?” Huiyin asked, eyes flas.h.i.+ng excitedly like a little tiger’s.

“Oh, is it announced? I don’t know yet.”

“Of course, as the princess, I am the first to know everything!” Huiyin said proudly. With her sister around, she was really behaving like a little kid again.

“Huiyin, don’t exaggerate, and there are no princesses in school.”

“Ya ya! Lecturing me so soon.. Senior.. I know that your opponent is Olivios’ Asura Battle Team, your fight will be much antic.i.p.ated! Cherish the chance!”

Huiyin said excitedly. Aina looked peacefully at w.a.n.g Zheng. This w.a.n.g Zheng looked quite ordinary, but seemed to have good character, confident and calm, there was also something special about his smile. Normal people tend to get shocked when they see her or get mesmerised by her beauty, but… Aina could sense something else, something that she could not pinpoint… as though the other person was happy for her, how strange.

“Asura is very strong.” w.a.n.g Zheng said. “No way, are you giving up.. I was counting on you to win… Ahh Sister, I was just speculating for fun, I am not gambling.”Huiyin said.

“w.a.n.g Zheng, what do you think is the weakness of Asura Battle Team, do you have confidence in defeating them?” Aina asked suddenly. She wanted to test this person in front of her, for an earthling to make it this far, he must be exceptional, but Aina truly felt that the Arbiters, Aslan’s dead rivals, were stronger.

w.a.n.g Zheng smiled, studying Aina. The Aina in front of him was just like the Aina he first met, confident and happy, and he himself was just the leader of the misfits.

“Aina, every Battle Team has their strengths and weaknesses, as for confidence, I am definitely confident.”

The old Aina was the least bit interested in military affairs.

Aina nodded and did not continue the topic. In her opinion, she was not satisfied with w.a.n.g Zheng’s answer, he was at most somewhat confident.

“Senior w.a.n.g Zheng.” Huiyin carried on reluctantly, “My cousin is very optimistic about Asura Battle Team, you will give us an absolute surprise if you are able to defeat them.”

Reading between the lines, Huiyin was trying to say that he might evoke Aina’s memories if he defeated the Asura Battle Team.

“Olivios is very strong, I look forward to fighting against him.”

The trio carried on conversing for a while. After grasping w.a.n.g Zheng’s as a person, Aina left shortly, worried that this guy may pose a problem to Huiyin.

After Aina left, the atmosphere flipped. “G.o.d, she does not seem to remember you at all, strange. w.a.n.g Zheng, you must stay strong and help Aina regain her memories. I heard from the doctor that if it is not triggered, she will never remember the past.”

w.a.n.g Zheng looked at the cup of coffee and took a slow sip, “Huiyin, it is no longer important if Aina still remembers me, maybe it is better if she forgets everything between us.”

w.a.n.g Zheng smiled, temporarily stunning Huiyin.

“Why, don’t you like my sister?” Huiyin asked in shock.

w.a.n.g Zheng did not know whether to cry or laugh, “La.s.s, it’s not that I don’t like her, its… you won’t get it, but thank you for trying and setting up this arrangement, let nature take its course.”

“I don’t understand??? Of course I don’t understand if you are not willing to tell me!”Huiyin was depressed, what the heck was with these people, communicating in bits and pieces.

w.a.n.g Zheng was not in a bad mood. He was not able to share Aina’s burden in the past, at least now, Aina was happy. Until this moment, he realized how much Aina had sacrificed, and how he had been lacking towards her. He had appreciated the memories they created together.

The third round announcements came out:

Dynasty vs Dark Wolves

Eagle vs Icefire

Saruman Snake vs Asura

Imperial Glory vs Star Lya

The main event would undoubtedly be the battle between Saruman Snake and Asura. At present there were only three winning Battle Teams – Imperial Glory, Asura and Saruman Snake, and Saruman Snake was about to face the ever victorious Asura Battle Team.

In fact amongst the two multinational forces, almost everyone thought that Saruman Snake was weaker than Dynasty Battle team, and Dynasty Battle team’s plight was because they were up against the Arbiters. Saruman Snake would face the same ending as them, Asura had a 90% chance of victory.

Dynasty Battle Team and Dark Wolves battle was important to both parties. Dark Wolves wanted to win this battle, while Dynasty Battle Team wanted to prove that their defeat against Asura was just due to bad luck. Both parties were pumped up.
