Chapter 426: Confrontation Between Hiro and William

Over the past three weeks, Misha, Hiro, Zion, Lisa, and Sylvia had undergone training by agents from The Authority while receiving detailed information about the Elven nations.

Now, the time had come for them to travel to Etheron City, where they were scheduled to meet with other talented individuals and go to Elven nation.

Fortunately, their journey to Etheron City was uneventful, and they arrived without any problems. Since their arrival, they had been busy exploring the city and meeting other people who were also heading to the Elven nation.

Many of the people they encountered were of Rank-A, but they were older than Hiro and his group. Hiro and his batch were the youngest ones invited to the gathering.

Everyone seemed to be friendly towards Hiro and his friends. It appeared that they wanted to avoid becoming enemies with Hiro, who was hailed as the greatest human talent.

Furthermore, the backgrounds of Zion, Lisa, and Sylvia made it difficult for anyone to cause trouble for their group. Even those who seemed to have a strained relations.h.i.+p with Hiro and the others avoided any confrontation.

However, the problem arose when Hiro and his friends encountered their former professor, William. They noticed him but tried to avoid him because they didn't have a good relations.h.i.+p with him

But it seemed that Professor William was determined to create problems for them. The moment he spotted them, he made his way towards their group with a playful smile on his face, accompanied by his friends or subordinates.

"Well, well, look who we have here! I didn't expect to see you in this place!"

Professor William exclaimed as he approached them. It was more perplexing why he was there than their own presence.

One of Professor William's friends chimed in, saying, "Hey, William, why don't you introduce us to them?" His gaze towards the girls felt unsettling, making them uncomfortable.

In response to his friend's suggestion, Professor William mockingly said, "Introduce you to them? Why, of course!" He turned towards Hiro's group, gesturing theatrically as if presenting a spectacle.

"Everyone, feast your eyes! These are the former students of Ace Academy. We have Hiro, the so-called greatest genius of humanity," Professor William sarcastically announced, pointing at Hiro.

His friends chuckled, clearly enjoying the situation. They were a group of people from distinguished backgrounds who held reservations towards Hiro. They believed his achievements were exaggerated.

"And here we have Zion, the prodigious child of Guild Royal Vanguard with unparalleled combat skills," Professor William continued, indicating Zion. He didn't show the same disrespect as he did with Hiro.

"Next, we have Lisa, the member of Guild Elemental Nexus. And this is Sylvia, the child of Master Marksman," Professor William continued his introductions.

"And last but not least, we have Misha Kanon. I'm not quite sure why she is here," Professor William concluded, pointing towards Misha. He held a low opinion of Misha, considering her unworthy of being called a genius.

Misha stood her ground, maintaining her composure despite the provocation.

Professor William's words dripped with mockery and disdain, but Misha refused to let them affect her. She knew her worth and cared only about her friends and family.

However, Lisa, Sylvia, and Hiro couldn't brush off Professor William's remarks as easily. They were angered by his derogatory comments. Hiro, in particular, couldn't remain calm when it came to his friends.

As Professor William finished his sarcastic introduction, one of his friends fixed his gaze on Misha, wearing a mischievous smile.

Stepping forward, he remarked, "Well, well, Hiro, it seems you've gathered quite an interesting group. But I must say, the real jewel here is the lovely Misha. Why not leave your friends behind and join our group instead? I can offer much more than them."

He was eyeing the girl of the group but knew his place. He couldn't make a move on Sylvia and Lisa as their background was greater than him. However, he could see that Misha didn't have such a background

"Hey, Lucus! Why would you want a common girl? She is filthy and would taint your bloodline!" Professor William interjected. He held disdain for commoners and considered Misha to be one of them.

"True! But I could have some fun with her for a few days!" Lucus replied, openly demeaning Misha.

William and his group continued to humiliate Misha, further enraging Hiro, Lisa, and Sylvia, particularly Sylvia and Lisa, as they were also girls.

Taking a step forward, Hiro, standing beside Misha, addressed Professor William with a steady yet angry voice.

"Enough, Professor William. Your words and actions are disgraceful, especially coming from someone who claims to be a professor."

Professor William's smug expression wavered slightly as Hiro confronted him. He hadn't expected Hiro to stand up to him so boldly. The surrounding onlookers watched, curious to see how the situation would unfold.

Undeterred, Hiro continued, his voice carrying authority. "And I suggest you reign in your friend over there. Misha isn't someone he could easily disrespect."

Professor William's smirk momentarily faltered, replaced by a hint of annoyance. He looked at Hiro with a mixture of frustration and amus.e.m.e.nt.

"Ah, Hiro, always trying to play the hero. But I don't see anything wrong with what I said or what Lucus proposed. In fact, it should be considered an honor that Lucus has taken an interest in her," Professor William retorted.

Sylvia's eyes blazed with anger as she replied, "An honor? Are you joking, William? There's nothing honorable about belittling and objectifying someone. Your words and actions reflect your own character, not Misha's."

The onlookers observed the escalating confrontation, murmuring among themselves or watching with antic.i.p.ation. Many recognized Hiro and the others, believing they were about to witness something interesting.

"Haha... I didn't expect the graduates of our school to become so impudent. It must be because you've been a.s.sociating with commoners all day," Professor William sneered, unwilling to back down. He seemed ready to engage in a fight with Hiro and his group.

Tensions between the two groups continued to rise, and it appeared that a confrontation was imminent. The crowd watched, eagerly awaiting the outcome.

Suddenly, a commanding voice boomed from the crowd, cutting through the tension.

"That's enough!"

Professor Mia emerged from the crowd, capturing the attention of both groups and the onlookers.

Hiro, Lisa, Sylvia, and Misha were surprised to see Professor Mia. However, what surprised them even more was someone familiar standing beside her.
