334 What Is He Hiding?

After losing the match, the atmosphere in Aerospace’s lounge was depressing, and the team members were in low spirits. They paced around, looking for a quiet place to sit. It was clear that they had yet to recover from that unexpected defeat.

Creak! The lounge door opened, and Dean Schneider from Aerospace Institute quickly walked in. He noticed his team’s drooped heads and felt the tense atmosphere in the lounge before clapping and saying, “Come to me, kids.”

The team members dejectedly approached him and gathered when they heard his call. Schneider revealed a rare smile when he saw his team by his side.

“There are always winners and losers. We can lose a match but not our determination.” Schneider raised his right hand as he continued, “Come, let’s walk together.”

Team Aerospace followed Schneider and raised their arms, shouting, “Aerospace will win!”

The team’s chants rang in the lounge while Schneider slowly lowered his arm, still smiling. Today, the smiles he showed his team was the most he had shown this year.

He swept his gaze across every member. After looking around, he slowly said, “You executed your tactics well today, kids.” Schneider frowned slightly and helplessly changed the topic, “Today, we mainly lost to Moss.

“If only he had not blocked Barry and Bard’s combo and shockingly allowed Bishop and the other three’s combined attack to pass through him. Even though we lost, we didn’t lose so badly.”

Barry sighed, “Yes, Mr. Schneider, you can blame me for this. When we saw the two people beside Moss abandon him, we felt something was amiss since he seemed calm.

“Still, how could we let go of such an excellent opportunity to eliminate Moss? Moreover, we thought the two retreating students’ actions were natural since they were facing danger, so…”

Bard nodded and said regretfully, “It seems they had tricked us, and what Moss displayed today was his true strength. Without knowing Kyoto would have such a tactic, it’s inevitable to suffer a loss.”

He shook his head helplessly and dejectedly. “However, the price we paid today was too great. They eliminated Captain Barry and me from the beginning.”

Schneider patted Bard and Barry’s shoulders and comforted them, “You can’t blame yourselves for this. Even with your combo attacks, it would be difficult to resist Bishop and the other three’s retaliation. Also, Bishop had used his positive and negative buffs.”

Since Barry and Bard still blamed themselves, Schneider continued, “The skill Moss used should be Absolute Defense. So, you didn’t lose in vain.”

“Absolute Defense?!” Every team member asked in surprise as soon as Schneider finished his sentence.

Schneider said with admiration, “Once Moss used Absolute Defense, it fully protected his body, making you unable to find flaws in his defenses. Therefore, your attacks wouldn’t have had an effect even if they did hit him.”

“Even elite Knights don’t know such a powerful skill, right? How could an ordinary Knight like Moss know it? Could it be that Moss is not an ordinary Knight?” Bard became increasingly amazed as he spoke, and his mouth opened wider and wider.

Upon hearing this, the others were also shocked.

Schneider noticed everyone’s expressions and said, “Indeed, Absolute Defense is not a skill ordinary Knights can master. As far as I know, a senior Holy Radiant Knight once knew this skill.”

However, Barry raised his doubts. “How is that possible? Moss is only sixteen years old. I heard of some people successfully changing their profession to Holy Radiant Knight, but the success rate is only one in ten thousand.

“If they failed, the price was relatively high. Furthermore, it would take many years of cultivation to unlock it. So, even if many Knights knew how to change their profession to Holy Radiant Knight, most felt discouraged by its meager success rate.

“Also, after experiencing one failure after another, the number of people who tried decreased.”

Schneider nodded. “Barry is right. Becoming a Holy Radiant Knight is not something one can achieve overnight. On the contrary, if you want to become one, you must pay a great price and have a strong heart.

“Although I can’t be 100% sure the skill Moss used is Absolute Defense, from his Knight profession and the effects he used, it should be close.”

He was also full of doubts. He paused and said, “The Holy Radiant Knight is an epic-level profession. I’m unsure if Moss is one, but he must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter. Otherwise…”

Schneider did not continue. He could not believe Moss could change his profession to a Holy Radiant Knight at only sixteen.

Even when they were unsure if Moss was a Holy Radiant Knight, they were already highly shocked. Their jaws would drop if they knew Moss was now a Super Holy Knight.

“If Moss had used Absolute Defense or a similar skill, then we lost without regret.” Barry knocked his head with his right hand and continued, “Even if they didn’t eliminate Bard and me, two or three of them working alongside Moss’s skills would have done us in.”

Bard added, “So, we must adjust our strategy the next time we meet Kyoto. We can deal with Moss’s teammates first and then him. Then he won’t support, and it won’t matter how formidable his skill is since it has a cooldown. That’s how we can take care of Moss next time.”

The others nodded one after another after hearing their co-captain’s words, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Bard looked forward to the next time he met Kyoto. He would have a good fight with them.

…

Meanwhile, in the judges’ seats, Jay Jie was still reminiscing about Kyoto and Aerospace’s match.

Now, whenever he thought of Moss, an inexplicable joy would rise in his heart, especially since he knew Moss would cast Absolute Defense. However, there was a doubt in his heart that he could not figure out.

He couldn’t help but ask Locke, “What do you think of Moss’s Absolute Defense? Why do I feel this isn’t the full extent of his strength?”
