Wu Yan isn't bluffing when he said he can win this with a 100% chance. If Wu Yan wanted a fight of attrition, he could easily win by tiring Jaafar out, relying on his True Ancestor's regenerative abilities. However, he would have to face the risk of being dissected at the tables of research facilities.
Jaafar made the first move. He slowly got up and he approached the railing of the platform. He then leaped down from the platform while members of Beast Tide cheered him on.
Jaafar lifted his head and he looked at Wu Yan with composed eyes. He is here to fight Sylph, the other partic.i.p.ants are secondary to his objective. He had also seen Mikoto's strength but since his feud with Sylph is one that had spanned years, he focused more on taking down Sylph.
Caah is not an opponent he can go easy on but more priority is given to Sylph since she's the strongest student in school.
Well, he wouldn't know if she would be able to take the champion t.i.tle again.
All eyes are now on Wu Yan. Can this rockstar of a newcomer achieve victory against a solid champion candidate like Jaafar?
He looked calm enough, it's like he's not going up against a tier 8 opponent at all. He walked towards the edge of the platform.
"Onii-chan (Yan)! You can do it!"
Flandre-chan and Lulu cheered for him. Wu Yan didn't turn around, he waved his hands to signal that he heard them. Exerting some strength in his legs, he disappeared from his spot the next moment.
In the arena, Wu Yan stared at Jaafar. It's quite clear that they are greeting each other as warriors on the same battlefield.
Wu Yan wanted to avoid conflict with Sylph, Caah, and Jaafar. If possible, he would like to avoid going all out and revealing his cards but if push comes to shove, he is going to put maximum effort.
Jaafar's perception of this newcomer is that Wu Yan is someone he should take note of from time to time. He is comrade with Mikoto who can fight on equal ground with Sylph who he dreamed about beating. Wu Yan is also friend with Ikaros who stopped the fight between Sylph and Mikoto by herself.
