Chapter 42 Training

The next morning, Kyle got up early and went to class with Nine. After a few hours of usual lectures, he went back to the dorm for a bath before heading straight to the training ground.

His current schedule was insane since now apart from training or attending lectures, he didn't have time for any other thing.

Professor Liam the training instructor of first-year students was also impressed seeing Kyle working so hard and showing incredible improvements.

Even though Kyle never asked, Professor Liam would give him pointers here and there about the mistakes he was making because the more Professor Liam observed Kyle the more he felt that it was indeed a pity that his talent was only (B)-Rank.

And since the time of the competition was getting near, including Alec and his team all the first years students were working harder than usual, but Kyle would always practice till late at night.

The whole training ground would be empty and only after when he was exhausted and had no strength left inside his body would he staggered toward his dorm.

Due to Kyle's influence, Nine also started training like crazy, but no matter how much he tried he would still leave the training ground earlier than Kyle.

At first Nine and the others waited for Kyle to finish, but the next day Kyle stopped them because he didn't want to waste their time of rest.

And after communicating with Bia, Kyle found that he could also talk with her through telepathy because they were bonded to each other.

At first, talking through telepathy with Bia was hard but after trying it a few times Kyle got the gist of it.

Also during this time due to Bia, Lara started conversing with Kyle normally. She would still ignore him from time to time but it was a lot better compared to before.

All this while Professor Aliza kept an eye on Kyle. She wasn't able to help him directly but she secretly asked Vice Principal George to look for the Elixir of life.

One week passed in this manner, Kyle was able to make good progress in his training. His stats also improved a lot compared to before.

______________________________

Kyle's agility stat increased by a sub-rank and his strength stat increased by 2 sub-ranks!

Who would believe that just a little more than a month ago both these stats were at (G)-Rank.

All this was possible because for the past whole week, Kyle's schedule was to attend classes, training, eating and again training.

He only used 1-2 hours daily for rest. But what made Kyle surprised was that his body was able to cope with such intense training!

Now Kyle was almost on the verge of a breakthrough and according to him in half a month he would probably breakthrough to (-E)-Rank.

....

While everyone was training and working hard, finally the day of the competition arrived.

The competition for the first-year students was held inside the Academy Hall.

That's why early morning, all the first-year students were seen heading toward the hall.

Kyle and Nine were also walking behind some of the first-year students when someone called their name from behind.

It was Alec. As usual, he was walking with Carcel, Lara and Mia. The moment they appeared all the nearby eyes were on them due to their gorgeous appearance.

At first, Kyle was a little uncomfortable getting all the attention due to interacting with Alec and others but after some time he started ignoring the few eyes staring at him.

After greeting each other they started chatting and walking together.

Bia who was sitting on top of Kyle's head started flying after seeing Mia and Lara before sitting on top of Mia's shoulder.

Kyle looked at Bia with narrowed eyes. It seems for some reason Bia liked Mia.

'Did you just betray the person who fed you this morning with love and care just to get some caresses from a beauty?'

Bia snickered hearing a complain filled voice inside her head before turning her big blue eyes toward Mia and ignoring Kyle completely.

Soon, they arrived at the Academy Hall.

Twenty different small stages were set up in the middle of the hall surrounded by hundreds of audience seats.

But only a few audience seats were occupied by first and some third-year students because the second-year students were busy with their own competition and 80% of the third-year students were out doing missions.

Slowly but surely all the first-year students appeared inside the hall, settling down on the empty audience seats.

The person in charge of overseeing the competition was Elder Lu with Professor Liam and two other professors acting as referees.

Professor Liam walked and stood in the middle of the hall, making all the students cease their conversations.

"Hello, everyone. I hope you all have been working hard for the competition because the results will decide who will occupy the 7 available spots of the 'Tower of Opportunity' from the first-year students."

Professor Liam's clear and loud voice resounded inside the hall.

"This competition will last for five days and because of that no class or training will be held in the next five days. All the rounds of the competition will be one vs one battles. There are a total of 200 students participating that's why we will try to conclude the first round today."

Afterward, Professor Liam told everyone that 20 battles would be held at a time because there were 20 stages present inside the hall and called 40 different students on the stage.

The called students got up from their seats and walked toward the stages, awaiting Professor Liam's instructions.

"This is not a life and death battle so remember to give up once you feel like you can't deal with your opponent's attack."

"If your opponent is not in the condition to fight back, you are not allowed to continue attacking. After one of the participants admits defeat, the other participant is not allowed to attack."

After shouting out the rules Professor Liam gave the signal to start the fight and the first round of the competition officially began.

Alec, Lara and Nine were also in the first batch of students fighting on the stage.

But Alec's fight only lasted for a few seconds before he won and returned to his seat. Nine and Lara also easily won their battles before returning to their seats.

After the first batch, two more batches of students were called on the stage.

In the fourth batch, Carcel and Mia's name was called. Both of them also easily defeated their opponents.

Kyle's name was called with the last batch of students, after entering the Academy he hadn't fought with anyone else except Alec, Nine and Carcel.

That's why Kyle was looking forward to the upcoming fight.

But contrary to his expectations his opponent was someone very weak and he defeated him very easily, just in half a minute!

Also, it seemed that the Professors made sure not to match the top ten students against each other because Kyle, Nine and the others were not called out against each other.

After the first round, 100 students made it to the second round. At the end of the first round, Professor Liam told everyone to rest for the day and be ready for the second round which will be held tomorrow morning.
