Chapter 46: The Might of an Archon

As I watched Lance prepare himself for the test, I suddenly felt a gentle nudge on my shoulder, which made me look toward it.

Without too much surprise, it was Iono who strangely looked at me in embarrassment. "Say Luciel...you wouldn't mind filming me again...this looks like a great post to make...the other class were too boring to broadcast."

Is that all? Why is she getting embarrassed then? "Of course."

I nodded as I started to restart my connection with the faraway meltan, but I could still hear what she was saying. "Thanks...thanks you Luciel...but...but I promise...I will fulfill my side of the agreement...just please let me take time to prepare myself..."

I never saw Iono that red, in fact she looked so embarrassed that she actually looked toward my blindfold, which was the only place where I couldn't see her fully. I suppose she has already learned about my blind spot.

But what drew my confusion more was how she turned even shyer when she said she would pay her part of her deal. Didn't she already agree to become my friend? She's already friendly to me...so what could she even be talking about...wait, does that mean that she will become an even bigger friend of mine!

"Yes! I'm excited for you to become even more my friend! But I can wait! Don't worry, I'm super patient! I can even stop thinking if I do get impatient for a bit!" I happily nodded, but Iono only grew more embarrassed.

But right before I had the chance to ask why, I suddenly finished reaching a connection with Iono account, so I stopped talking about me and transferred her to the link.

Iono soon noticed the new application appearing on her meltan and grinned heavily as if she forgot about her earlier shyness. "Good...oh right." As if she remembered something, she waved toward Lance. "Hey mister the archon, can I record you without worrying about you lashing out at me this time if you lose?"

Lance coldly looked at her, but after a short moment of consideration, he nodded. "I suppose that it do was immature of my part to attribute my loss to you last time, as even if you were painfully distracting, I cannot allow any excuse for any defeat, as the only conclusion I should reach is that I'm too weak. So go on, capture all of my future victories."

However, Palmer suddenly intervened in between the conversation. "This is true, any trainer can find an excuse on why they lost, but fewer are those who are ready to better themselves to not allow such a disadvantage to stand in the way of their future victory! Take this as a lesson youngster, if you know that if you know that you possess a weakness in some type of situation, whether it big specialising in an unique type of pokemon, or if you're easy to predict, then the only thing you can blame all of your future defeat are your ego. As only a fool would think that the worst scenario won't happen when it matters!"

...oh...what's an ego? And why should we blame it? Well maybe it would mean that no one would have to blame me for their failure at least, they will just blame it on the ego thing.

I thought as my meltan was fully ready to register Iono performance. And the moment the audience was welcomed, Iono made a perfect spin to introduce herself. "One two three, what is that you see? It's the brightest lightbulb is ready to pull you in her light filled with entertainment!"

...oh, that's not her same introduction as before...why did she change it? Her first one was already quite fine no?

Or maybe she considered it trash, and others too, and I just like it because of my horrible taste? Maybe that's why there were so few watched last time...but it's strange, as I preferred this one a lot much, so if my logic stands right, it would mean it was even worse than last time...so why are there suddenly more viewers?
