"Madeline, please listen to me carefully. Now that Ricky has chosen the spiritual king battlefield, you have to go there as well. You must personally protect him. We have sent out our men but I can only trust you. You're the only one that can do this task," Scar immediately said to Madeline when he saw that the two airships were about to take off.
"Yes, I will do it!" Madeline nodded her head confidently without any hesitation.
If her boss had asked her to protect this young man in the past, she would definitely be reluctant to do it. But she had a different opinion about Ricky. She knew that he was a peerless genius. That was why she immediately agreed when she heard her Scar's request. She was very happy to have this chance to be able to protect a peerless genius.
"But remember this, you have to call him young master!" Scar gave her one last reminder. In fact, he did not despise Ricky anymore after he was made aware of Ricky's true strength and potential.
"Yes, I got it!" Madeline nodded her head once again.
The next moment, she jumped onto the dais where Ricky was standing on.
Ricky, on the other hand, quickly noticed the woman who came at the last second before the airship would leave the ground. He then looked at her from head to toe.
From his perspective, she looked a little bit like Grace. She had exquisite and defined facial features that made her look quite a heroine. She didn't have any expression on her face except tranquility. 'She must have a strong will, ' Ricky commended secretly.
"Do you work for Scar?" Ricky asked her through telepathy. Meanwhile, he activated his power originating from his zones to test this woman's strength. It turned out that she was at least a first-class lower spiritual king.
"Yes, young master," Madeline promptly responded to his question.
"Young master?" Ricky couldn't believe what he just heard. He laughed a little before he continued, "Well, that is very considerate of Scar to think of such an address." He thought for a while and with a smile, said, "Since you work for Scar, you don't need to be so formal and distant by calling me young master. Just call me Ricky."
"Okay, Ricky it is!" Seeing how politely and friendly he looked at her, Madeline immediately changed her demeanor towards him.
"How many people do you have here? Are you by yourself?" Ricky asked again.
"The hall leader sent out almost every man available right now. There are twenty-one people here, including me," she replied at once.
"There are also twenty people on the other airship. They were supposed to protect you. But it seems like they wouldn't have much to do."
Ricky laughed inside as he thought, 'Scar is really worried about me so much!' However, he understood why Scar did this. Scar was a servant to him now and his priority was to keep him safe. No wonder he sent out all of his men.
'Doris was really being wise when she left the bonding contract between me and him. Honestly, this is such a huge help to me, ' Ricky thought.
"So, Ricky, should I contact the other twenty men right now?" Madeline proposed at that point in time.
"Not yet. Just leave them be. They will be very useful when we enter the battlefield," Ricky told her. His brain had started functioning really quickly, trying to come up with a plan on how to make the most out of Scar's men.
'Scar is quite powerful! He has so many young innate warriors as his subordinates, ' Ricky pondered deeply within himself.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, loud crashes were heard from where they were standing. Right at that time, the two flying middle-sized airships suddenly enlarged and turned into two super airships.
"Those who want to fight in the demi-immortal battlefield, please get on the left airship. Those who want to fight in the spiritual king battlefield, please get on the right one," the Skyward Sword Spiritual King announced.
After everything was settled, the two giant airships took off. Before long, they disappeared into the distance. They were heading for the deeper side of the Oriental Mountains where the Oriental College was located at.
Their journey was quite peaceful and serene. They didn't encounter any problems at all.
About one hour later, the airships stopped. They finally arrived at their destination—the periphery of the Oriental College.
