Chapter 144: Male Selection Competition
The news that White Tiger King's sister Ali was going to choose her first partner quickly spread.
In the past two days, many single males from nearby tribes have come to ask Ophelia about the truth of the matter.
Ophelia is asked and has to deal with these male questions every day.
There was really no other way, so Ophelia found Ali and asked her what she really thought.
"Ali, what are you thinking? Do you really want to choose your partner by dueling?"
Ali frowned, "Really. Since Laxus doesn't like me, why can't I find another partner?"
"Ali, you..."
Ophelia saw that Ali was obviously heartbroken and was about to give up on herself.
"Ally, it's not your fault that Laxus doesn't like you. Don't make the wrong choice just because you're angry."
"Your brother certainly wouldn't want to see you like this."
Ali felt a lump in her throat as she watched Ophelia concerned about her.
She threw herself into Ophelia's arms, her voice choked with sobs. "Sister, why doesn't Laxus like me? What's wrong with me?"
"It's not your fault that he doesn't like you."
And the reason why Laxus didn't tell Ali the truth was because he felt inferior.
But she couldn't say it directly.
After all, Laxus is stubborn. If he himself doesn't want to, he won't agree no matter what others say.
Rather than telling Ali and giving her hope and then disappointing her, it would be better for her never to know.
Ali sniffed and returned to her former proud little princess self.
"Sister, you're right. It's not my fault that he doesn't like me. It's just that he's unlucky."
"Sister, tell the males who ask that I will be holding a duel arena tomorrow."
"If there are any males who want to join me, let them join me tomorrow."
Seeing her determination, Ophelia sighed helplessly. "Since you insist, I won't try to persuade you."
With the pressure of competition, maybe we can force Laxus.
So Ophelia went back and told the male who came to ask about Ali's preparation for the ring match tomorrow.
She also had the news passed on to the Golden Dragon Clan.
In the evening, Laxus came back from hunting and was slightly stunned when he heard the discussions of his tribesmen.
As soon as he returned to the stone house, Rebecca came out and asked anxiously.
"Laxus, did you know that Ali was going to choose a partner?"
Laxus pursed his lips and nodded silently.
"Why does Ali suddenly want to travel with others? Is someone in the Fu tribe bullying her?" Rebecca looked worried.
"How about I let Ali come live with our Golden Dragon Clan? With your father and I here, no one will dare to bully her."
Laxus shook his head. "No one bullied her. She just fell in love with a male."
"Who does she like?" After hearing Laxus say this, I felt relieved.
However, when she heard that Ali fell in love with a male, she became a little anxious.
"Have you seen the male? What is his character like?"
"It's Ram."
"Ram? The traveling merchant?" Rebecca had some impression of Ram.
"He's okay as a person, but he's a bit unstable. He often has to go out to exchange things and can't be at home with Ali. A female will feel insecure when she's with a male like him."
Laxus' eyes lit up when he heard that Rebecca also disapproved of Ali and Ram being together.
"Mother, you are right. Why don't you go to the Fu Clan tomorrow to see Ali and try to persuade her."
"You're right. You'll send me to the Fu Clan early tomorrow morning."
"Young females can go in pairs, but you can't let her choose anything important, or you'll regret it later."
So the next morning, Laxus brought Rebecca to the Fu tribe.
Ophelia was a little surprised to see Rebecca coming suddenly.
"Mother, why are you here? Is something wrong?"
"What's wrong with you, girl? Ali is going to have a companion, such a big thing, and you didn't even send someone to inform me."
"Your taste has always been bad. What if your aunt chooses a male like Loki?" Rebecca stopped talking halfway.
She secretly looked at Ophelia, and seeing that there was no displeasure on her face, she quickly took over the conversation.
Ophelia smiled. "Don't worry, mother. I'm watching over you. Nothing will happen."
Even if Ali really chose a male today, she still had to deal with Klein.
Given how much Klein loves Ali, he wouldn't let her just be with a male.
That's why she wasn't worried.
Ophelia looked at Laxus next to her. "Brother, the ring match will start soon. Why don't you stay here and help watch?"
Before Laxus could speak, Rebecca hurriedly said, "Ally is his sister now, so of course he has to stay."
After hearing this, Laxus did not refuse anymore.
So after breakfast, the single males from each tribe came.
Ophelia brought Rebecca, Ali and others to the open space of the Fu tribe.
Looking at the crowd of males, Ophelia estimated that there were about a hundred of them.
It seems that the title of White Tiger King's sister is very attractive.
"You should know what a duel ring competition is, but even the winner will have to go through a test before becoming Ali's first mate."
"If a male has bad behavior, even if he wins, we won't let him be Ali's mate."
"If any of you have bad character, please leave now."
"Of course, you are also welcome to report each other."
As soon as Ophelia said this, some males immediately stood up and reported each other.
In a short while, forty people were wiped out of the team of about a hundred people.
Ophelia reviewed them again and kicked out the ugly males.
After two waves, only thirty people were left.
Of course there were some males who were unwilling, but they were suppressed by Laxus, Taylor and Zeref with their aura, and could only leave in shame.
"Then, you can fight in pairs. Whoever falls to the ground first loses, and the winner advances to the next round."
"But I hope you can stop at a certain point and not cause any casualties."
If someone really dies in the duel arena, it will be bad for the reputation of the Fu clan and Ali.
The males nodded in agreement.
Soon, thirty males started fighting.
By noon the winner was clear.
Only ten of the thirty remained.
Seeing the males sweating and panting, Ophelia called a halt.
"You can go back and rest first. Come back for the competition in the afternoon when you've had enough energy."
Ophelia glanced at the remaining males. Two looked familiar, from the Golden Dragon Clan, and a few were from the Fu Tribe.
"Okay." After spending the whole morning, the ambitious people had expended a lot of energy.
They naturally want to go back to recuperate and fight again.
"Brother, what do you think of these males?" Ophelia asked Laxus tentatively.
Ali also secretly observed the expression on Laxus' face.
Laxus had a serious look on his face. "It's okay."
Rebecca was delighted. "I think there are some promising ones among them. I didn't expect our Ali to be so popular."
"But your partner is very important, so you have to choose carefully."
Facing Rebecca's teasing, Ali's pale cheeks regained some color. "Okay, I get it."
The next chapter will be late, I need to take my family to the hospital.
