[201-400] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 286 - Collapse of the Ladros City: Dawn of Chaos

Today was the day of the elimination round of the Grand Tournament. A lot of students were preparing themselves for this tournament.

"Souta, we're going out. We will come to institute later." Brando said to Souta. He was going out to market with Bryan and Cluster to buy something. Also, she wanted to play outside so they came with her.

"Okay, I'll wait for you there so protect her." Souta nodded at him. He agreed to them to bring her out. He was sure that she was getting bored playing in this building. Well, she will come to the institute later so that they could watch the elimination round.

"Don't worry, Bryan and I are pretty strong. We will not let anything happen to her." Brando said as he smiled.

"Yeah, yeah, I will protect Cluster." Bryan nodded.

Souta glanced at her who was beside the two and said, "Cluster, don't leave their sight."

"Okay, I'll behave." Cluster said as she raised both of her hands in the air.

"We'll go now. See you later, Souta, Lumilia, and Lynn." Brando said to them as he turned around.

"Bye-bye Brother Souta, Sister Lynn, Sister Mila!" Cluster waved her hands before she followed Brando.

"Bye!" Lumilia waved her hand with a smile on her face.

"See you later, Cluster!" Lynn said to her.

The three left the room leaving Lumilia, Lynn, and Souta in the office room. Alice and Yujin were downstairs looking at the new members in their legion. They were counting the quest that the members completed to see if they fill the quota. While Jeanne and Wako were already in the institute.

Souta looked at Lumilia and asked, "Are you going to stay here?"

"Yes, I will not participate in the elimination round as I have a lot of things to do here," Lumilia replied to him in a gentle tone. "I'll go there later and watch the elimination round."

"I see..." Souta nodded and he turned to Lynn.

"Um... I'm going to help Mila here." Lynn said with a flustered look.

Souta smiled before he shook his head.

"What's wrong, Souta?" Lumilia asked him as she slightly tilted her head.

"Nothing..." Souta replied to her and he closed his eyes. In the past few days, he trained with everyone so he was quite confident in the Grand Tournament.

"I'll prepare some coffee for you," Lumilia said as she looked at his table and saw that he didn't have a coffee. She, no, everyone in their group knew that Souta liked drinking coffee when he was relaxing.

"I-I'll help too..." Lynn said while stuttering.

Souta opened one of his eyes and said, "I'll look forward to it."

Lumilia and Lynn left the room to brew some coffee for him.

'I think your overall power is enough to place you in the top 10 of the Ladro Institute.' Saya's voice sounded in his head.

"Yeah, I think too. My skills have grown stronger because of our training. Not just me, the others also grow stronger. Their speed of growth surpassed my expectations." Souta replied to her as he stared at the ceiling.

'Ufufu... Don't worry about it. I still haven't taught you my powerful skill set. You should focus on your current skills and when I saw that your strength is enough I will pass it to you.' Saya replied to him.

"That's reassuring..." Souta smiled lightly.

...

"Brother Brando! I want to eat that!" Cluster said as she tugged Brando's sleeve while pointing at one of the stalls on the street that was selling street food.
