Number One Dungeon Supplier

Eventually, the audience gave a loud boo as the next contestant was not planning to come up to fight for the match and the image of the Demon Exorcist Commando was getting worse by the second. The JODE Chancellor as well as the management started to eye at the Demon Exorcist Commandos as if to 'spur' them into action but none of them was willing to take centre stage.

It was to the point where Grand Headmistress Yuan had to step in to settle the crowd and said that there might be some hiccups at the side of the arena. But some of the spectators called bullshit. "If none of them even wish to stand in this arena then they should not call themselves as Demon Exorcist Commando."

The jeering got even louder and Grandma Yuan believed that unless one of them came up, there was really no saving for the group. Lein and the others wanted to jump in and save the day but a telepathic message from their instructor stated not to go as it would make things worse for the Demon Exorcist Commando.

"Some of the people in the tour group had already known your existence and your affiliation to this JODE School Instance. If you come out just to save their hides, they will view the commandos even more badly than before." Grandma Yuan stated.

"Then what can we do to prevent this from getting worse?" Lein was concerned about the reputation of the Demon Exorcist and there was nothing they could do at this point to fix it. That was when suddenly a person started walking out of the stadium and into the arena field.

"Finally, someone with the balls to come out!" One of the spectators said.

"I don't care whether you lose or not, but good on you to at least keep the name of the Commandos!" Another spectator called out.

"Now I wondered which unit he is from. There is no batch or anything on him. Looks like he is a normal Demon Exorcist." The gossip started to spread and that was when Grand Headmistress Yuan decided to take the risk to announce.

"As unorthodox as his appearance, this particular individual will be the cornerstone of security for this JODE school instance. Given that this place is in the dimensional instance, it does not mean that the people might be unsafe from external or internal threats.

This individual had been hired by the dungeon supplier to keep the place safe." Grand Headmistress Yuan said and everyone started to calm down and whisper to each other. The only person who was excited to see this individual was the Demon Exorcist Teacher from the Demon Taming Department.

To him, it was clear that he could finally see the unique Grade 4 Demon Exorcist in action.

But precisely because he was just a Grade 4 Demon Exorcist, he started to receive criticism from the audience. And the statements were getting louder and louder with each whisper.

"What is so great about this Grade 4?"

"He is just a Grade 4 and the Dungeon Supplier entrusted the security to him?"

"What is with that mask? Why must he hide himself behind that panda facade?"

"He probably masked himself because he knows he cannot take the shame."

To top it off, even the Demon Exorcist Commando were so shameless that they even started to bet how long this Grade 4 showoff could last. Were they jealous of his ability to stand up while the rest could not? They do not know but one thing was for sure. No one else dared to stand in the middle of a judgemental crowd.

All of the yapping and random talk were getting on the nerves of the Demon Exorcist Teacher as he knows that once the battle starts, this 'mere' Grade 4 will show them otherwise. Even the tour group who had encountered him also kept quiet as they understood how they felt previously and were ready to see the audience to be blown by his actions.

They and a few others truly knew the existence of how strong this Grade 4 could be.

Chancellor Ma Ge who took the effort to sense the chi that had been emitted immediately realised who it was and started to chuckle. "To see him covering for us, I bet he is going to use this situation to ask for a favour in the future." Ma Ge said to himself and the Grand Headmistress was within an earshot.

"He is probably thinking what kind of favour he wants to get from you." Grandma Yuan said and Ma Ge shook his head. It seemed like other than the two of them as well as Claire, the rest of the management had no idea who this person was.

"Thank goodness, I changed my Panda Mask before I used it for the tour group thingy." Jin suddenly realised that he could have used the same mask that would have allowed Pandarens to notice him. But he had forgotten that he had bluffed the Veteran Pandarens so much that they already knew the person standing at the centre of it all was the Dungeon Supplier himself.

But right now, most of them were playing along with the crowd because they knew that Jin was as usual playing theatrics considering how things were right now. Most if not all of the Pandarens who had watched the previous fight knew that the Demon Exorcist Commandos needed a booster, a quick and strong first aid to save the day.

And seeing how they already lowered the audience's expectations and yet were unable to perform, the Pandarens could see that Jin had no choice but to show up as a mysterious Demon Exorcist to save their faces. That was also the reason why all of them were excited to play along with everyone.

However, if there was an underlying reason, it was mainly due to the fact that Jin hardly displayed his powers or techniques for the public to see. The veterans know it as he had always escaped from such a situation or purposely did a fast resolution so that they could not enjoy what Jin could offer.

Of course, they were not going to expect much from this match as well since the customers knew Jin well enough. But at the same time, they still continued to hope.

On the other side of the arena, the Demon Wolves and cloaked person were still waiting for Jin to draw his blades but instead, all he took out was a dagger. (Bam transformed into a dagger just for this fight while Boo was still in his sheath.)

That draw was enough of a signal for the Demon Wolves to charge towards Jin. At that moment, everyone who was complaining had already kept quiet and the stadium was relatively silent to see how the situation developed.

It was a simple charge until the Demon Wolves used the very same technique they had used against the Phoenix Force Demon Exorcist. The Shadow Step to ambush Jin from behind.

But unlike the Commandos who had their hands ripped off the moment the Demon Wolves activated their Shadow Steps, Jin was able to evade with just a slow turn of his body. His Inverse Eyes could already see where the claws were going to hit and Jin moved just in time so that the inertia from the Shadow Steps would not allow the Demon Wolves to change their attack direction in time.

Just that act of dodging so closely alone had enabled the audience to be at the edge of their seats. Half wanted Jin to fail while the other half naturally yearned for Jin to pass it. Thus, when it happened, the audience's reaction was somewhat mixed.

And the next act by Jin sealed the deal that this would be a decent combat exhibition showcase for the rest to see. After Jin had dodged, instead of attempting to put in a cut into the Demon Wolves' hide like how most would do as inflicting minor wounds across a period of time would allow their enemies to succumb, he did something totally different.

Jin grabbed one of the Demon Wolf's legs and subsequently slammed it to the ground. The impact caused a momentary stun to the Demon Wolf where Jin used that short window to send his dagger right straight into the Wolf's carotid.

Obviously, the other Demon Wolf pounded at Jin as an attack of opportunity since Jin was occupied by the killing of the Demon Wolf he had pinned down. And yet Jin did not budge as he merely stomped the ground and a sharp sand spike emerged right beneath the pounding Demon Wolf, piercing and incapacitating it almost immediately.

After seeing a shitshow of a combat showcase, the Audience was in awe by the simple yet deadly attack that Jin had performed. But the reason why they were in awe was because they finally got past the appetiser, and now to the main dish.
