Chapter 415 Champion
A vast expanse of white light lit up on the field, blocking the audience's view. That was the light emitted when all the contestants were teleported out at the end of the countdown.
"Did she win? Did she win?" Leila's voice was tense, even though she herself was unaware of it. She suddenly turned her head to look at the princess beside her for confirmation.
However, Catherine did not reply to her, she also stared at the audience.
The whole audience fell into a brief silence, as if all the air had been sucked out of the room.
Then, someone saw it again——
The blonde girl who had been running like a wild horse in the stadium started running around the stadium again. Her headband had been lost in the fierce battle, and the wind and sand made her blonde hair messy, swaying as she ran, which was very eye-catching. Everyone's eyes followed her to a high platform at the edge of the stadium, watching her standing below and jumping desperately towards the people on it.
——What is she doing?
"Hey, you two!"
The base of the stands was very high. Lilith looked up at Leila and Catherine who were a little dazed above. She jumped up and down along the wall with her hands stretched upwards, with a smile as warm as the sun on her face.
"—Don't you want to high-five the champion?"
"——Congratulations to the Red Team for their victory!"
At the same time, the voices of Hurst and Rebecca sounded at the same time! Lilith's voice was immediately drowned out by the waves. Catherine couldn't hear what Lilith said at all. She only saw her lips opening and closing, but she instinctively smiled back at that smiling face.
She won! She really won! The fireworks in Leila's heart leaped into the sky together with those in the arena. Amid the falling ribbons, she subconsciously turned back to look for her father's seat a few days ago.
Viscount Friel did not come today, and all the people sitting there were strangers.
The little girl could not hide her disappointment in her eyes, but the next second her boots were grabbed, and she screamed "Ouch" in fright.
"Hey, hey! Pay some attention to me!"
Lilith below was almost climbing up. Catherine felt that if she had a tail, it would have flown away by now.
Lilith originally wanted to come up and give her sister a hug and take credit for it, but before Leila could move, the audience nearby excitedly rushed forward, wanting to have a close conversation with the champion. Frightened, she quickly jumped down and gave up her original plan, waved her hand and walked away from the excited audience.
On the other side, the first sound heard in the crowd was Bobby's sobbing. Everyone turned around and was shocked to see that his face was covered with his tears and snot.
"Hey, why are you crying again?" Lucas walked over helplessly, "If I had known you were such a crybaby, I should have been more careful when looking for teammates."
In response, Bobby cried even louder. Lucas laughed. "You didn't believe Lilith's lies that tears are a man's best dowry... Forget it, just cry!"
"You laughed at him, but you didn't look any better when you cried!"
Lilith just happened to stroll back to her teammates and immediately helped Bobby fight back.
Lucas froze, not daring to laugh at Bobby anymore. Then he saw Lilith come forward with a smile and hook her arms around Bobby's neck, making him stagger. She then turned around and grabbed Lulu's hand.
"You, and you! Oh Ian, come here! Everybody come--" Lilith's voice sounded happily, leading everyone to raise their arms towards the audience.
The entire stadium was ignited by them. Countless arms in the audience raised up following Lilith's leadership, like a forest rising from the ground. Cheers rushed towards them from all directions. At this moment, without the obstruction of the stadium's light curtain, they could clearly feel the sound waves coming towards them, making their eardrums hurt, but no one cared about this brief discomfort.
——Because they are the champions!
There could never be a better moment than this moment. Although it was freezing cold, Lilith felt dizzy and warm, as if she had been soaked in honey wine, and her lips could not shed tears.
"Thank you, senior. I learned a lot from this battle."
In front of the podium, Lilith and senior Hall admired each other and praised each other, but behind them were strange looks from their respective guardians.
"Hiss, why do I feel a chill on my back? What has this woman learned..." Lucas touched his neck fearfully and turned to his fellow guardian of Lilith, "Ian, it's not too late for us to change our careers now."
The prize money for the champion is quite a lot!
Ian just smiled shyly and refused to respond. When they finally stepped onto the podium, he stood beside Lilith and said softly, "You look really happy. Is it because you helped Bobby fulfill his wish?"
Lilith was smiling as she looked towards the other side of the long podium. Catherine and several teachers from the school were presenting awards to the ten-member teams one by one. At the moment, she was standing in front of Bobby and talking to him. Bobby's nose and eyes were red, and he kept nodding as Catherine spoke.
"Do not."
Lilith turned her head and winked playfully, but denied Ian's guess.
"That's only a small part of the reason." Lilith turned aside and whispered to her partner, "I find that if you don't take action, you may not know yourself very well."
Her face was radiant and her eyes were surprisingly bright.
"—I enjoyed the victory more than I thought I would."
The joy of victory was much sweeter than she had imagined. Of course, she did it to help Bobby at first, but in the end she gained more satisfaction than she had expected. This kind of self-discovery made her feel as if she was floating in the sky. She couldn't suppress her silly smile at all, until -
"how is it going?"
After getting off the podium, Leila was finally caught by Lilith, and was now walking through the long, dark contestant passage with her. After just a few steps, Lilith couldn't help but ask for credit and praise from her sister.
Leila pursed her lips and glanced behind her. Her teammates were still standing in the sun, holding the trophy and waving to their younger classmates in the audience.
"Not very good!" Leila was unhappy because she didn't see her father in the audience, and she couldn't tell her sister about her frustration, so her voice was hard.
"...Hey, don't be so strict!" Lilith pouted. She was the champion, and this time she killed a void beast with her own hands!
"You still have strength." Although Leila was a little angry, she became more and more serious as she spoke, "I know your strength best."
Leila looked back at the other members of the Red Team. In fact, most of them were exhausted from the competition and couldn't walk so fast, so they were stranded outside. And the one in front of her who was jumping around in circles around her was -
"The environment on the field limited everyone's performance. During the last period, everyone was severely dehydrated and had no strength left..." Leila lowered her head and picked up the wicker shell of the water bottle.
"But you still have it. Facing the pursuit, you are clearly capable of fighting back. At least at the beginning you should be able to eliminate a few more members of the White Team before retreating, but you only want to escape."
"It's fine as long as we win. Our main goal is to delay the game—"
"Your sword never hesitates when facing void beasts, but you are unwilling to face humans head-on. You enjoy victory but avoid confrontation."
Lilith's dizzy head finally woke up, and she showed a trace of guilt.
