Chapter 138: Accepted

"Who did you select?" Novius asked, wondering if he had misheard Gabriel. He really hadn't expected Gabriel to select the two strongest challengers out of the six. 

Novius had fought Axion and Qin personally when the two had arrived here. He knew just how strong those two were compared to the others. If anything, Gabriel should've selected the weakest out of the six. 

"I said I will select Axion and Qin," Gabriel repeated. "You wanted me to select one but I select two."

"Young man, I think you didn't hear me clearly when I introduced all of them." Cylix was also somewhat surprised. Even though he had noticed Gabriel looking at Axion and Qin repeatedly before, he hadn't thought that it was because he was seriously considering them as opponents. 

"It's either that, or you're really not thinking straight. The two you've selected... They are stronger than you think. With them as your opponent, you should just forget about being able to reach us."
