Within the arena, everyone was astonished when they heard Sebastian's words about changing coaches. Everyone understood that Sebastian and Leonard had deep conflicts, and it was impossible to reconcile them, but this was the school team. Too many people were watching, as it was for the school's honor. Even Leonard, as the head coach, didn't dare do too much; he just verbally said a few words to Sebastian. No one could have imagined that Sebastian was so explosive, one word of disagreement, and he counterattacked.
Hearing Sebastian say that he thought Prokopy was more suitable to be the coach, Leonard's face instantly darkened, and coldness flashed in his eyes. The others were also greatly dismayed. Sebastian's dissatisfaction with the school team candidates was understandable, but even daring to reassign the coach was unexpected for everyone.
"Hmph!" Behind Leonard, an administrator snorted coldly. Staring at Sebastian, he shouted, "Sebastian, what do you want? Don't think that just because you're the strongest freshman, you can be lawless. Remember, you're just a Level 2 Planetary Lord who just got started. Know your place and don't act recklessly. Stand down and reflect on yourself."
"Yes." Another administrator followed, saying, "Even if you have opinions about the list, you must not question it in public. Remember, you are now the captain of the school team; you should lead by example. How can you question the coach? Instructor Leonard is not only the best instructor in our academy but also the best coach. I know you are Prokopy's student, but you must never waste your public life for personal motives or joke about the school's honor."
Hearing these words, Sebastian's face remained calm. Although he had stayed at home these past few months and didn't go out much, with little contact with others, it didn't mean he was unaware of the school's situation. These two people were from Leonard's faction, so of course, they spoke in Leonard's favor.
If it had been any other student, perhaps this would have discouraged them. But Sebastian had always been very direct; moreover, before taking action, he used the system to understand the situation. He then discovered that his identity as a Great Mythical Level talent was very useful.
As Prokopy had said, the power of the school team captain was significant, especially regarding the list of participants. Of course, it was impossible to directly challenge the coaching position. No matter how intense the conflicts, there would be a veneer of peace on the surface.
But Sebastian didn't care about this, he considered the coach of little use to him. Not to mention Leonard. Did he have to lower his head?
"The best coach?" Sebastian's mouth curled into a faint smile as he said, "Then hold a selection competition to see if these main players are the best freshmen in our school." Sebastian was too lazy to continue, so he went straight to the point.
These words caused Leonard and the two administrators to exchange slightly changed expressions. Among these five people, for Sebastian, Yeattine, Terrell, and Neville, there was nothing to say. This year's freshmen included four who were above Legendary Level talent. If not, whom should they choose?
But the key concern was Glen, the remaining candidate. Although he was an Epic Level talent, there were several other Epic Level talents as well, not to mention Clifford and Otwin. Many other freshmen were stronger and had more potential than Glen.
The observers looked at each other with strange expressions. They had initially thought Sebastian was young and reckless, unable to withstand Leonard's suppression. But now it seemed he was prepared. If they insisted on keeping Glen, it would make them look bad.
Other administrators and instructors watching from the back also showed a hint of joy, a big dramatic confrontation was precisely what many wanted to see.
Leonard, with a gloomy face, clenched his fists, making a noise. This was the strength of a Level 5 Planetary Lord. He glared at Sebastian, sweeping his gaze over the crowd, and shouted, "Since you have such a problem with my selection, then hire someone else. Let someone more capable take this position."
After saying this, Leonard left toward the arena gate.
"Teacher Leonard, don't be angry." The administrator at the rear hurriedly stepped forward to pull Leonard back, who was about to leave. Immediately, glaring coldly at Sebastian, he said, "Enough of this nonsense. Hurry up and apologize to Teacher Leonard."
Sebastian knew very well that Leonard certainly didn't want to leave. Since he couldn't justify Glen's case, Leonard would likely threaten him with his status. Leonard had been the school team coach for over ten years, so his prestige and reputation were significant. Even Prokopy, who was conflicted, had to admit that Leonard was the best coach.
"Since Mr. Leonard doesn't want to stay, then I will go," Sebastian said calmly. "Either change the coach or change the captain, you choose."
Sebastian made his stance clear. He understood that it wasn't just the people present; the elders were also paying attention. Pick one of these two options, I'm too lazy to continue arguing.
Seeing Sebastian follow Leonard and employ this tactic, everyone was surprised, this was completely out of order.
Prokopy was anxious. He quickly stepped forward and tried to stop Sebastian, but he didn't know what to say. With his understanding of Sebastian, this was not a joke.
Sebastian halted, turned around calmly, and looked at the crowd. Anyone observing his expression could tell he was serious.
[ ===== ]
In the void, a dozen elders frowned. They hadn't expected the situation to escalate to this point. Either change Leonard as coach, or change Sebastian as captain; there was no room for discussion.
"Nonsense! Absolute nonsense!" An old man in black exclaimed. "This Sebastian... What a revolt! The strongest freshmen have turned him into this."
"What Sebastian said is also quite reasonable," Another gray-clad old man remarked, glancing at the black-clad elder. "What's wrong with Glen? Everyone can see that."
The other elders all had faint smiles in their eyes. Who didn't know? Glen was an Epic-Level talent, so this was not a big deal. It was just that no one had expected Sebastian to catch him alive.
Hearing this, the black-clad elder ran out of words. Glen was at a dead end and caught; there was nothing he could say.
"These two seem incompatible," The oldest elder in the center said. "In that case, let's resolve this, keep one of the two, and settle the school team matter quickly."
"That goes without saying," The black-clad elder responded immediately. "Sebastian, a student, dares to disobey the teachers and administrators. Does our academy's discipline not exist? If we let Sebastian succeed, what bad trend might that set?"
"You mean to keep Leonard and dismiss Sebastian?" the gray-clad elder asked, glancing at the black-clad elder. "Then, who will replace Sebastian? Find another freshman with a Great Mythical Level talent? At the exchange tournament, everyone will ask why a Great Mythical Level freshman from our school didn't participate. How will you answer?"
The black-clad elder was stunned for a moment and said, "This is a team competition, not a solo. One person's strength isn't enough. Leonard's importance as a coach is unquestionable."
"If Leonard had chosen his team members more carefully, would so many issues have arisen?" The gray-clad elder snorted coldly.
Hearing this, the black-clad elder wanted to argue further, but the oldest elder interrupted: "All right, no more arguments. Everyone, raise your hands if you agree that Sebastian should stay."
All but a few elders raised their hands. Although the black-clad elder looked displeased, the group understood. For a superpower, there are many Minor Mythical Level talents, but few Great Mythical Level ones, even among top clans and empires.
It could be said that Sebastian was now the academy's most valuable card. Leonard was very important, but the harm of the faction was less, so they could only give up on Leonard. Moreover, some elders were dissatisfied with Leonard's recent behavior, which had been a bit too much, especially as a representative of the Crown Prince's faction.
[ ===== ]
Within the arena, the group soon received the elders' decision. They looked at each other in surprise, but it was understandable, any school would prioritize choosing students with Great Mythical Level talent. All eyes then shifted to Sebastian, who was being regarded with a mix of curiosity and respect.
"Good, very good!" Leonard's face was extremely grim after hearing the decision. He turned and left, casting a glance at Yeattine and the others nearby.
Yeattine stepped forward and said, "I respect the school's decision, but I also respect the teacher as a person. I've decided to withdraw from the school team. Please forgive me."
"I also choose to withdraw," Neville and Glen said one after another.
The three main players on Leonard's side left the school team and followed Leonard toward the arena gate. This caused the spectators to exchange glances.
The two administrators looked at Sebastian with sneers in their eyes. You dared to oppose Leonard, one was a Legendary Level talent, and the other was a Minor Mythical Level talent. Without these two main players, how could the school team continue?
[ ===== ]
In the void, the black-clad elder immediately shouted, "This is what you get for supporting Sebastian. Without Yeattine and Neville, how can the school team compete? We'll be at the bottom in the exchange tournament."
"Why don't we persuade them?" An elder suggested with a frown.
"It's useless," The gray-clad elder replied. "Can't you see they're not aligned?"
"Should we just let it go? The results aren't worth the trouble?" Another elder frowned.
"Although Sebastian is also a Great Mythical Level talent..." The black-clad elder exclaimed, "He's nowhere near the Crown Prince."
This prompted a brief moment of silence among the group.
"In the last competition," The black-clad elder continued, "the prince led the team to the quarter-finals, even without a Minor Mythical Level teammate."
This was the reason their school's team was highly regarded. Last year, with only one Mythical Level talent, they reached the top 8. This year, with Sebastian, a Great Mythical Level, and Yeattine, a Minor Mythical Level, they expected even better results. But now, with the team not yet formed, that hope was fading.
"Talent is important, but mindset matters too. Sebastian is not destined to go far," The black-clad elder concluded.
"Okay," The oldest elder stopped the debate. "Since we've made our choice, there's no need to argue further. Every Great Mythical Level Planetary Lord has his path; others need not judge."
[ ===== ]
Within the arena, the two administrators who supported Leonard, along with several other teachers, had also left. Even the few freshmen selected for the school team followed.
Outside the arena, Leonard, Yeattine, and others waited.
"Without Yeattine and me, let's see what Sebastian will do. Where can he find a Legendary Level and a Minor Mythical Level?" Neville, from a distinguished family, chuckled lightly.
"Let's see how much prestige he can show now. When he fails in the exchange tournament and comes back humiliated, we'll see how arrogant he is," Glen said, nodding. "If you want to see someone fall, first let them run wild. No matter how talented he is, history shows that even Great Mythical Level talents can fall."
Neville sneered, "Not to mention, he's not the only Great Mythical Level talent in our school."
"Compared to the Crown Prince?" Glen shook his head, disdain flashing in his eyes. "Forget it. This guy is far behind. In his last tournament, with that teammate, he only reached the top 8. Just wait, you'll see the joke on him this time!"
[ ===== ]
Waiting for Leonard's group to leave, everyone else looked somewhat despondent. This used to be a strong school team, but now, with Yeattine, Neville, Glen, and several other top freshmen gone, it seemed diminished.
"Sebastian..." Clifford looked at Sebastian, unsure of what to say.
Although Yeattine and Neville left, freeing the main position for others, they weren't happy. The main goal was to achieve excellent results in the exchange tournament.
"It's okay," Sebastian said calmly. "These troublemakers will leave on their own, and then we can train without worry. And..."
Sebastian turned around, sweeping his gaze over the remaining team members. "Anyone else want to leave?"
No one responded. After what just happened, they realized Sebastian, who had been very low-key, was not someone to be trifled with. Unknowingly, he had established an unprecedented rule.
"Since that's the case, let's begin the official training for the school team," Sebastian declared.
