The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1675

“…I see. Gerald Crawford!” replied Gerald as he politely introduced himself.

Nodding in response, Cyril then praised, “Noted, brother Gerald! Still, you were amazing just now!”

“It was nothing, I was simply trying to help the bullied,” replied Gerald calmly. After flashing a subtle smile at Cyril, Gerald then turned back to look at Yan… only to realize that he had already snuck off!

Well, it wasn’t as though he was all that interested in Yan in the first place. After all, there were many others in the world just like Yan, and Gerald couldn’t be bothered to teach each and every one of them a lesson.

His train of thought was cut short when he heard Cyril ask, “Brother Gerald, I wonder if you’d be interested in becoming my friend…?”

Seeing no reason not to be, Gerald simply nodded in agreement.

Whatever the case was, the selection process soon officially began. Since they weren’t in any particular rush, Gerald, Zelig, and Cyril simply took the chance to watch the other participants first.

Standing near the platform, Gerald kept a close eye on the academy’s representatives. It was always good to know your opponents first before battle, and this was Gerald’s chance to properly analyze their abilities and think of ways to counter them. Truth be told, Gerald wasn’t planning on only withstanding the three strikes, oh no. Instead, he wanted to completely defeat his opponent. After all, this was what a strong man should do. Simply having to withstand three strikes was a little too belittling for Gerald’s tastes.

Either way, Gerald began paying attention to the platform again when a man donning blue robes walked up the platform. With a folding fan in his hand, the man appeared rather confident.

However, Gerald had to actively hold back from laughing when he saw that man.

‘Who even is this guy? Can just about anyone participate in the selection process? What an eyesore!’ Gerald thought to himself.

With the sounding of a gong, the first round of testing officially began!
