An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2061

Given Glenn's exceptional track record, who would underestimate the Sword Union's disciples? So, when Miles courageously volunteered for the challenge, most people were confident.

"Miles, listen up! Be cautious, and don't make any hasty moves!" Crystal frowned with concern.

This time, she took Miles and Ruby along to gain experience and see what talents Dragonmarsh had produced in recent years.

As for attention-grabbing situations like this, Crystal personally didn't like them.

As a Sword Union disciple, it was essential to focus on improving sword skills and character. Crystal knew that if they cared too much about getting famous quickly, they wouldn't get very far.

Competition in the Sword Union was tough, and they didn't keep members who weren't useful. Failing the yearly assessment meant getting kicked out of the sect.

Those who thought joining the Sword Union guaranteed a carefree life ended up as abandoned disciples.

"Crystal! I've got the arrow ready, and I gotta let it go. Trust me this time. I won't let you down!" Miles declared. Without waiting for a reply, he marched forward with his sword drawn.

"Wait, Miles—"

Crystal was about to stop him, but Ruby interrupted, "Crystal, Miles is good with a sword. If he gets serious, defeating Marco shouldn't be hard.

"Plus, with so many people watching, if Miles backs off now, what will others think of us, the Sword Union disciples? Let's give him a shot."

"You don't get it, do you? I don't want Miles to take this risk because it's about the Sword Union's reputation. If he loses, he might get expelled from the sect!" Crystal frowned.

If it were just a minor skirmish, that would be one thing. But the situation involved a conflict between two nations.

If Miles lost, the consequences would be severed, and it was something he couldn't have shouldered.

"Crystal, the fight hasn't started yet. How can you be sure Miles will lose? Have faith in him, okay? We, from the Sword Union, are all talented!" Ruby said proudly.
