Global Martial Arts: I Chose Monopoly As My Game Talent - Chapter 18

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After hearing the principal’s roar, all the teachers turned their attention to their phones.

Looking at the poster, they felt a strong sense of oppression as they looked at the image of the small high school student named Su Chen facing a fierce beast that was nearly three meters tall.

The weeping corpse bird was tall and huge, and crimson liquid was oozing out of its wounds, making it look even more terrifying.

Even though its skin was not red, the blood that was constantly oozing out had forcefully dyed it into a monster with crimson skin.

The thin and weak human before it made it look even more terrifying.

Opposite the weeping corpse bird, Su Chen was small but determined. Although it revealed a strong spirit, he still looked like a reed in the wind. The only reason it was still standing was that it hadn’t been blown by a strong wind.

Su Chen was just an ordinary high school student. Even though he had awakened a talent, it was only a low-grade non-combat talent.

Otherwise, he would have been protected by the professionals and would not have had the chance to slip out. He would not have been allowed to participate in such a duel either.

As such, a weak high school student had accidentally applied to participate in a duel with the weeping corpse bird. Even though the battle had not begun, they could already see the ending.

The high school student would definitely lose and die!

This was what the ten teachers had observed through the poster.

So when the principal shouted, they just looked at their phones and didn’t answer.

“Why isn’t anyone answering?! In the year before last, 38 students in our school awakened their talents. Last year, 26 awakened their talents, and this year, only 19! There are only nineteen of them, and one of them is out and about? If this student dies, our school will hit a new low in history! Who can bear the consequences?! After some time, when the border guards come and see that there are only 19 awakened in our school, with one of them even dead, where do you place my dignity?” The principal roared in anger.

The teachers shifted their gaze to the principal’s desk because the steaming tea was rushing toward the principal’s laptop.

Just as the hot water was about to hit the laptop, the principal suddenly reached out and rescued the laptop from the tea.

“Phew, it’s a good thing the laptop isn’t wet. Otherwise, the principal would probably start cursing again.”

“That’s right. He’s just a student who awakened a trashy talent. Is there a need to get so angry for a trashy student?”

“Speaking of which, who is Su Chen? I’ve never heard of him. How dare an unknown student participate in the duels of the arena? He just doesn’t know how to spell the word “death”!”

The teachers were discussing in low voices when a loud “bang” came.

Everyone jumped in shock and turned to look. The principal had smashed the laptop he had just saved on the ground!

In an instant, the computer was broken into two. Both the screen and the body were shattered.

Everyone looked at the principal in shock. For a moment, they could not understand why he was so angry.

The principal looked around and pointed to the broken laptop on the ground, “If there are less than 19 students in our school who have awakened their talents this year, the reputation of Binhai First High will be broken into pieces, just like this laptop!”

The surrounding teachers finally became serious. They knew that the principal had always placed great importance on the school’s reputation.

In recent years, for some unknown reason, the number of students who awakened talents had been decreasing, and the talents awakened had also become weaker.

No one knew what was going on, but everyone was anxious.

People were afraid that one day, if there were no more martial artists who could awaken their talents, what would happen to the humans?

“Everyone, think about it. Which class is Su Chen from?”

“Hey, who has the Awakened list? Take it out and we’ll know!”

“I know. Wait for me, I’ll make a call and ask!”

The teachers finally got busy. Those who had to think finally started working their brains, and the people who should call to check for information began to dial numbers.

There were even teachers who called the arena directly, asking them to stop the duel and send the child back.

Suddenly, the office was in a bustle. After a while, the door of the office was pushed open.

“Oh, the list of Awakened is here. We’ll know which class Su Chen is from after we take a look,” A teacher walked towards the door. However, the person who entered the office was not someone from the list, but a student.

“Why have you come to the principal’s office?” The teacher asked doubtfully. At the same time, he frowned and unwillingly let the student into the office.

Everyone was already so busy. Why did a student have to find trouble at this time of all times?

Wasn’t this just causing trouble for everyone!

“Hello, teacher. My name is Li An. This is my classmate. He went to the arena to participate in a duel. Please think of a way to save him!”

It turned out that the person who had barged into the principal’s office was Li An.

He had gone to their class teacher’s office earlier, but he had not been able to find Mr. Yang, so he had instead come straight to the principal’s office for help in a moment of desperation.

After the teachers in the office heard Li An’s words, they immediately surrounded him and asked, “You said you’re Su Chen’s classmate? Which class are you guys from? Do you know what kind of talent Su Chen awakened?”

The teachers surrounded Li An. Even the principal hurriedly walked over, wanting to hear what the student had to say.

“We’re from Class E03. Su Chen’s awakened talent seems to be …”

In the awakening conference room, once someone awakened their talent, the name of the talent would be reported by the teacher.

Therefore, when Su Chen awakened his talent, Li An heard it.

It was just that at this critical moment, he just couldn’t recall it!

Under the gazes of more than ten teachers and the principal, he swallowed nervously and tried hard to recall, “Ah, I remember now. Su Chen awakened a D-grade talent, I think it’s called… It’s called Monopoly!”

When the words “Monopoly” and “D-grade talent” were said, all the teachers subconsciously did not believe it.

What was the use of a person who had awakened a D-grade talent?

A D-grade talent was not even considered a combat talent. Why was Su Chen so confident?

And when the word “Monopoly” appeared in their minds, all the teachers were even more shocked.

Monopoly had no offensive abilities at all. Where did Su Chen get the courage to participate in a duel?

Where did he get the courage to leave school, even?

“Could this student have remembered wrongly? If it’s really a useless talent, how would Su Chen dare to challenge the beasts in the arena?” One of the teachers suggested.

At the same time, the form teacher of class EO3, teacher yang, brought the name list of the students and handed it to everyone.

The teachers hurriedly checked it out. With one look, everyone was shocked because Su Chen did have a D-grade talent, Monopoly!

“Nonsense! This is simply reckless! He only has a support-type talent that only works by earning money, how dare he participate in the duels of the arena?” The principal’s angry voice rang out again.

Just as he was about to speak again, he was interrupted by a teacher who had been on the phone. The teacher had already hung up, but his face had a panicked expression, “Principal, the arena said that the duel has already begun! They can only return him to us after the match!”

The principal was shocked and angry. He shouted, “Thi can’t do! Come with me to the arena and let’s get Su Chen back!”
