Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1339

Andrew asked, "Then what's the point of calling it a championship or a crown if the title can just be shared?"

Preston and Clifford let out a cold, furious laugh. "Oh? And what do you propose instead?"

Andrew's voice rang out confidently. "Simple. If multiple contestants make it through all ten rounds, the competition shouldn't just stop there. There should be additional rounds, pushing the limits further, until every other contestant has been eliminated, leaving only one true champion.

"Only then can you truly call that person the first-place winner, the sole bearer of the Grand Physician title, and the sole recipient of the grand prize."

Preston and Clifford's faces hardened. They could not believe Andrew thought he could be the last one standing.

Did he truly have that much confidence?

From across the stage, Mosby burst into mocking laughter, clapping his hands loudly.

"Wonderful! Simply wonderful! An arrogant fool spouting the most absurd nonsense. Andrew, I'll be right here, watching you embarrass yourself."

Meanwhile, Thomas shook his head, his face full of regret. "This brat is not only damaging Blumedale Hospital's reputation, but he's also making a fool of himself. Letting him take up a slot in this tournament was a huge mistake."

Jared's sneer grew even more venomous. "Dr. Bozzelli, why bother with that idiot?

He's all talk and no substance. The real hope of Blumedale Hospital lies with us—we should just ignore him like the noise he is."

Francesca, standing beside Andrew, felt a flicker of concern. She understood that Andrew was not just causing trouble for the sake of it—he clearly had a plan. However, his bold words had already stirred up too much resentment and hostility.

The audience would see him as nothing more than a brash upstart, someone asking for a beating. After all, Andrew was immediately gunning for first place and even refused to share the spotlight. He was not just reaching above his weight class—he was begging for a knockout.
