Chapter 169: Creating History
In the square outside the tower of trials, the crowd was strangely increasing.
They all gathered with Rita as they waited.
Initially, when the Senior recognized Varian, he attracted the attention of a few people.
After the conversation with Rita, they watched Varian enter the tower and decided to join in the fun.
One of them posted {First Year's strongest genius enters the tower of trials. Claims to get into the ranking.—What Audacity?!}
The post was lit and soon, many outraged crowds who had nothing better to do gathered.
Thus, the current scene of nearly a hundred cadets purely spectating the scene appeared.
They gazed at the bottom of the Honor List. Rank 500.
{Sebastitan. Rank 500.}
"Sebastian is a third year. He is already one of the powerful ones among the Low Level 5." A girl with a ponytail said.
"Yes. Even Charles Xander only advanced to Level 5 in the second semester and only then did he challenge the Tower of Trials." The senior said in nostalgia.
"Yes. What Talent. He broke into Ranking in a single go." Rita gnashed her teeth.
"There's my goddess, Sarah. She too broke into the ranking in first year." A lean guy reminded them while gnawing on his snacks.
His eyes showed admiration and worship.
"Shut up! She's my goddess." A hunky cadet glared at him, flexing his muscles.
"Oh? I can fry your muscles with a snap." The lean guy revealed his aura.
Snap.
Snap.
Air twisted, and temperature rose.
The cadets surrounding him distanced themselves from him while others shielded themselves from the heat.
A Low Level 5. For a third-year cadet in first semester, it was not a bad level. Perhaps, he could advance to Mid Level 5 before graduation.
"Com—" The hunky guy raised his fist but paused midway.
"Tsk. Are you so scared?" The lean guy taunted and was about to laugh when he shut his mouth halfway.
The crowd was silenced as they watched a stunning young woman with beautiful blonde hair seat glance at the tower before entering the cafe next to the tower.
From the VIP top floor, a Level 5 Body Awakener could easily see the Honor List.
"Gulp. I'm dreaming." The lean guy swallowed and pinched himself.
"Me too." The hunk punched himself.
"So it's true. Varian is related to Sarah. What do you expect? It's said that Sarah's father is a high-ranking officer. Maybe she is trying to suck up to Varian's master." Rita muttered.
"Woman. Shut your mouth!" Both the lean guy and hunky guy growled at her.
Following them, the guys in the crowd glared at her.
Rita paled and turned her head. "Hmph! You are all simps. You think these talented people care about you or I?"
The Senior cadet with Rita chuckled nervously and shifted the topic. "So, do you think Varian can hit the ranking?"
"No way. Maybe in the next semester. It's not even 2 months in the academic year." The lean cadet folded his arms and gave his opinion.
The academy started on 5th, 8th Month, 520.
Today was 23rd, 2nd Month, 521.
Only 25% of academic year passed. Even Sarah and Charles reached the rankings after 70% of the academic year passed.
That itself was an achievement.
So no one believed Varian could break the record. Even if he was talented, and beat up Narcis, it as impossible.
Charles Xander was a better talent than Narcis in every possible way.
"I don't care. Since he is favored by the goddess, he might break into the list." The hunky man glanced at Sarah's outline on the top floor of the cafe and simped.
"You're incorrigible." Rita shook her head. "We can ask his ranking when he comes. I doubt he can even break into top 1000."
Rita expected the crowd to rebuke her. She would take the insults initially. But when he exited, he'd prove her words right.
That way, she'd prove she was better than others. Even though she no talent, she was not trash.
But unexpectedly, the crowd was silent.
"Are you dumb or what?" Rita snarled at them.
'Don't ignore me. I don't have talent, but.'
"Don't ignore me!" She shook the arm of the lean guy in annoyance.
The lean guy's body shook, but he was transfixed. His expression was lost with his mouth wide open.
Rita thought a telepath was controlling him, but she realized his gaze seemed to be fixed on the Honor List.
"What no—?!" She turned around and instantly felt dumb.
She tried to open her mouth, but no words came out.
Looking at the list, there was a feeling bubbling within her. She couldn't tell what it was, but it grew at an alarming rate.
Even with all the internal turmoil, her body was frozen as she dazed at the Honor List.
{Rank 500: Varian.}
"Gulp."
This time, everyone in the crowd gulped.
Drip.
Drop.
Sweat rolled down their forehead and splashed against the shiny black floor.
"You must be kidding me." the girl with pony tail shivered.
"You can't use star treasures beyond your own level inside… so there's no chance of cheating." The hunky cadet clenched his fist.
"First year… first semester, even though he must be very injured, he did it. He created history." The lean guy sighed with a complicated expression.
"It's been only 10 minutes since he entered, right?" The senior with Rita reminded.
Everyone slowly waking up from their thoughts was once again stupefied.
Fuck!
There would be five matches in fourth floor alone. Then, to reach 500 in overall ranking, Varian would have to reach around 500 on the fifth floor.
Even if he displayed extraordinary combat power, that too would take around 2 matches.
So 7 matches in 10 minutes?
Average time of each match is 1 minute 30 seconds?
Was this a joke?
Since Level 5s take more time than Level 4s, then he finished off Level 4s in less than a minute.
The onlookers stood outside with their mouths open, unable to mutter a word for a long time.
