The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor

Crash nodded, "More or less. Do you think we'll be able to see the regret on this guy's face?"

Crash had asked that because he really wanted to see how much that Lane person could keep up with his act.

He had clearly made such an unbelievable choice. That choice was clearly equal to suicide, but that guy never showed any emotion at all. No matter what happened, he never showed any expression on his face. Even after entering the isolated space and facing the five steel-armored fighters, he still looked incredibly calm.

It was as if it was not five steel-armored fighters in front of him, but a helpless child. It was in complete contrast to the shock felt by everyone else. Crash merely felt like Lane was just too good at acting. He was so good at acting that none of the spectators even knew what to think anymore. The spectators finally found the time to discuss things.

A man with a goatee sneered and said, "I think this guy will probably not even last two seconds before he's killed. When he's dying, we'll finally be able to see what he really feels. I think we'll just be full of regret at that point.

After that person said that, the bearded man that had quarreled with the squinty-eyed man before suddenly said, "What are you talking about? Don't cast your judgment if you don't know. If this guy knows how to regret his actions, do you think he would do something so absurd? In our eyes, he's just suicidal for choosing the gold difficulty.

"Yet, this guy is acting so calm. I thought he could be acting as well, but I don't think you would still keep up the act if you're trying to die! So, I'm sure that this guy is just completely crazy. Even if he's killed, he won't regret it at all."

This time, the bearded man's

thoughts gained the agreement of quite a lot of the people there. Many of them thought the same as him and were sure that there was no way Fane was an ordinary person. No ordinary person would do something so absurd. It was just suicide. If he was not crazy, there was no way he would do something like that. Since he was crazy, then there was no way he would feel any normal emotions.

The man with the goatee was quite angry at being admonished like that. He wanted to fire back, but he could not figure out the words to say. After all, the bearded man's words made a lot of sense this time. He could not figure out a way to refute him. He just glared at the bearded man viciously before he shut his mouth.

After Looney had gotten his rewards, he did not leave the Killing Hall immediately. He continued to watch the challenges with the squinty-eyed man. The squinty-eyed man immediately told Looney about the conflict with the bearded man right after Looney exited. He told Looney all about what the bearded man did.

Looney was not someone willing to just accept things as it is. It was a world where the strong preyed over the weak, and everywhere was filled with conflict. The fact that the bearded man had dared to curse him like that meant that he definitely needed to find a way to shoot back at the bearded man.

When he saw the bearded man

earning everyone's approval, Looney said in an even tone, "You sure are blind. You seem to think like you're the only one who is allowed to have an opinion. You're saying that others are just making blind judgments? Others might be able to say that, but you definitely can't. Before you say that, can you please clear your mind a little? Think about how you were blindly judging me too. You assured everyone that I would definitely fail the challenge and I would die inside. Why aren't you saying that anymore?"

The bearded man had been feeling very pleased with himself when Looney's words caused his expression to sour. Suddenly, there were waves of laughter everywhere. Looney's words were like a complete smack in the face. The bearded man's face reddened in anger, but he found himself unable to say anything back.
