The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 37

Rufus' POV:

Right after Sylvia finished speaking, all the other werewolves in the room burst into hysterical laughter. Not only were they mocking her, but they were also gloating.

"Is she crazy? Is she seriously challenging Harry?"

"She must think too much of herself!"

"Look, Harry. This slave thinks she can take you down!"

"Come on, Harry. Show her how strong you are!" They said many more different things, but they all agreed that this challenge was absolutely ridiculous.

I gave Sylvia a worried look, hoping she would see that I also disapprove of this reckless challenge. Although these werewolves had just been newly admitted to the school, they had all probably been trained since childhood. Sylvia was already at a huge disadvantage. Not to mention that the werewolf Sylvia happened to choose was the son of Sunset Pack's Alpha. I had heard of his talent in fighting, although he was a little too arrogant. His strength alone got him ranked at the top of this batch's applicants, so I supposed he had the right to be arrogant.

The laughter went on for a minute more until Harry himself walked out of the crowd and confidently accepted the challenge.

"I'll take on the challenge. I'd be happy to put a slave in their place anytime and show them our difference in strength!" Harry pounded his chest.

I wanted to stop this, but I then saw the stubborn look on Sylvia's face. She did not want me to interfere at all.

"Excuse me, everyone, but can we arrange this later instead? The placement exam is about to begin." Finally, the dean stood up to intervene with anxiety written all over his face. He was sure this fight wasn't going to end well.

I patted him on the back to commend his sensibility, but I didn't know why my touch seemed to make him tremble all over.
