Second Chances

Chapter 160 

However, this time, Emma was fighting one against three. It was different from ordinary situations. 

The arbitration instructor was also in a dilemma. 

He said, “Even though she was fighting one against three, the school rules don’t show that it can absolve the responsibility.” 

What the instructor meant was that Emma would still be removed. 

Someone immediately retorted, “The rules can be improved. Emma is so outstanding. Do you want her removed? 

“These three girls bullied others. The school rules prohibited fighting, and now it prohibited duels. Tell me, what should Emma do? What lousy school rules.” 

They did not expect that a single sentence would incur the anger of the students. 

The instructor said, “Be quiet! All of you are talking at once. How is this appropriate? Why are you so undisciplined?” 

The crowd quietened down a little, but there were still people speaking up for Emma. 

“We can obey all orders, but we demand justice for Emma!” 

“Emma upheld justice and won the duel. It’s not her fault that she’s outstanding.” 

“Yes, it’s not her fault. You’re disappointing those who do good! We demand justice for Emma!” 

The two sides argued. 

The students‘ emotions were intense, and the school was in a difficult position. 

Seeing this, Emma stepped forward and said, “I can be removed from the Hero Rank. 

“But these three girls bullied others. Serious violations of discipline!” 

The instructor said, “The three of them are suspected of serious violations of discipline. We will punish them impartially.” 

“Alright!” Emma said. 

When she heard their promise, she calmly walked down the arena and walked towards the Hero Rank 

At the Icovine Estate. 

Levi said, “Mr. Hall, I’ve found out about Emma you asked me to investigate previously. 

“This is the only best friend Emma had a few years ago. She died five years ago in the Krot Competition. 

“She studied at Charon Military School when she was alive. According to my speculation, Emma was at Charon Military School because of her.” 

Liam read the information. It was Justine’s photo and information. 

Levi continued, “In addition, this person’s grave is in the suburb of Troln City. Emma went there not long ago.” 

Liam asked, “How’s her duel going?” 

Levi had already told Liam about her duel. 

Levi nodded and replied, “Everything is done according to your instructions. I’ve already called Richard and informed him of this matter. He said that he would resolve it.” 

Liam nodded. 

It was indeed the three girls who attacked first. It was right for Emma to teach them a lesson. 

However, Charon Military School’s rules were something that Liam had heard of. 

Before the duel even started, he had already called Richard and let him handle the matter of Emma being removed 

from Hero Rank. 

At this moment, Emma walked into the Hero Rank surrounded by a group of people. 

The Hero Rank was a huge stone wall. 

Almost the entire Charon Military School was surrounded by the stone wall. In the middle of the stone wall, the names of all the heroes and their words were engraved. 

Around the stone wall were the name emblems of tens of thousands of students. 

This was the pride of every Charon student. It was also the most ardent hope for them. 

Emma walked to her shiny emblem. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She was the champion of this year’s obstacle course. 

Her name emblem was placed in the middle of all the students‘ emblems. And now, she was going to take it off. 

Someone at the side could not bear it and said, “Emma… Don’t. You’re so outstanding. Why don’t you ask the instructor again?”

“That’s right!” 

Emma did not say anything. 

Once the name emblem was removed, it could no longer be returned to its original position! 

She took a deep breath and wanted to take it off… 

“Wait!” The moment Emma’s fingers touched the cold emblem, an old man’s voice suddenly sounded from behind. 

An old man with white hair walked over. 

He was dressed in a military uniform and looked very dignified. 

He looked at Emma with a very loving gaze. 

He continued, “Girl, the emblem of the Hero Rank is not something that can be taken off just like that. 

“The Hero Rank is the highest wall of honor for all of us who serve in the army. 

“We’ve spent our entire lives training hard. This is our glory. How can we take it off just like that?” 

The instructors were shocked when they saw the old man. 

“Mr. Zahn!” 

“Mr. Zahn!” 

Jerome Zahn was an internationally renowned military senior. He was Richard’s old leader. The two of them had a teacher–student relationship and were also friends. 

The last time he passed by the field, he had seen Emma. 

At that time, Emma was the only girl who woke up early to run and do morning exercises on the field. 

When Jerome saw this, he even told the principal and the others that they had to nurture this girl well. 

In the end, Richard called him today and told him about Emma. 

Without another word, Jerome immediately rushed to the scene. 

He said, “You guys, what’s going on? Emma did a good deed. Why are you still punishing her?” 

The school’s disciplinary administrator said awkwardly, “Mr. Zahn, we didn’t mean to make things difficult for her. It’s just that the school rules…”

“Can’t you improve the rules?” Jerome asked. 

He looked at Emma with admiration and continued, “Depriving a person of their honor is equivalent to depriving her of the right to work hard. 

“I’m in charge of this matter. Emma’s emblem can’t be removed!” 

In front of the school rules, others might not dare to challenge them. 

However, Jerome’s words were more effective than anyone else’s. 

Charon Military School was founded by Jerome back then. 

Emma said respectfully, “Mr. Zahn, I broke the rules first. There’s no need to specially do it for me.” 

However, Jerome shook his head and replied, “In this world, there are many things that are reasonable and against the rules. 

“Besides, you didn’t do anything wrong. The school rules have been used for decades. It’s time to perfect it.” 

Hearing Jerome’s words, the angry students finally calmed down. 

In the end, Emma did not need to remove her name emblem. 

Jerome patted her shoulder earnestly and said, “Did you see that? There are famous heroes in the world over 

there.” 

Jerome said to Emma as he pointed to the middle of the Hero Rank’s stone wall that was covered in golden 

emblems, “Train well and strive to be like these people one day and bring glory to the country!” 

Emma nodded heavily. 

At this moment, she saw a familiar name among the emblems. Blaze! 

Unlike everyone else, there was no portrait on this emblem, only the name Blaze. 

She couldn’t help but be curious. 

Jerome noticed her gaze and explained with a smile, “Blaze is the most famous boxing master. 

“Even though she’s not a student at our school and no one knows anything about her, her tenacious spirit of fighting for the glory of the country has always encouraged us. She’s an example for us to learn from. 

“Therefore, we placed her emblem in the middle of the Hero Rank.” 

Emma looked at the emblem in a daze. 

“I see…” she muttered. 

She seemed to see Dummy strolling here back then and staring at her emblem for a long time. 

Jerome said, “Emma, so you have to cherish your emblem.” 

Emma nodded heavily. 

Suddenly, an assistant beside Jerome said, “Emma, there’s someone you just want to meet. He’s been waiting for 

you in the forest for a long time. Please follow me.” 

She thought, ‘Someone is waiting for me?” 

Emma’s heart skipped a beat and her eyes lit up. 

She thought, ‘It is him! It must be him!”
