Sophia did not like being called out like this by the principal, this was totally out of her expectations.Initially she wanted to pretend not knowing who the Champion of Sol was as unlike her Rhys had not come forward, however, now because of the principal she could no longer use that excuse.' The champion of Sol? Since when did Sol choose champions?'' I've never heard of a Champion of Sol, this has to be the first one ever!'' The Sol brothers are the strongest! I can't believe we are in the same batch as their Champion!'' Two champions in one batch? Isn't this too much?'' But who is the Champion of Sol? What race does he belong to? Who is Rhys?'' Don't the Sol brothers have a feud with the Olympians? This should be fun'Chatter broke out amongst the crowd, as the shocking revelation of the Champion of Sol also being in their midst made the conversations amongst students turn spicy.Buhara and Erin stared at Rhys with eyes wide open, as while the crowd did not know anyone named

Once the madman left, Rhys raised his eyebrows as he looked towards Sophia who was trying very hard to regain her composure.She did not wish to look weak in front of Rhys, however, the humiliation she just experienced made it hard for her to keep a straight face."Don't spread this incident, please"she said, her voice cracking, as she pursed her lips and tried suppressing more tears from dropping."Nah, don't worry, I'm not the gossiping kind"said Rhys, as he was truly least concerned with what sort of image Sophia maintained in public.Getting up to his feet, Rhys began stretching his body, trying to see if he felt good enough to leave as he turned his back on Sophia, giving her some space to wipe her tears.Rhys wanted to keep an eye on Sophia and this incident did not change anything for him, however, seeing her slapped this hard twice, Rhys could not help but feel slightly giddy internally as those slaps oddly felt extremely satisfying to him.Of course he would never gossip abou

After sprinting daily for 90 days, Rhys's cardiovascular capacity had improved significantly compared to an average human, allowing him to be able to keep up with the pace that Professor Mave set for the pack by leading from front.He gave no instructions about how long one was supposed to run for, as he kept taking laps of the giant training ground again and again, with assistant Mave weeding out the people that fell too far behind the pack, noting down their names and adding the time it took for them to fall-out beside it.For about the first six laps, which was roughly about 1.2 kilometers, everyone more or less maintained the jogging pace that professor Mave set, but it was after him increasing the pacing from the seventh lap to a stride that people began to fall out of the pack.Lap 7 about 10% dropped out at once.Lap 8 about 10% more dropped out with many others audibly gasping for air, as by Lap 12 about 50% of the candidates were weeded out, leaving only 200 or so left runnin

Rhys! Rhys! Rhys!Sophia!Sophia!Sophia!The crowd erupted into cheers as Rhys and Sophia walked onto the martial arena.Unlike Sophia who looked confident and assumed a proper fighting stance from the start, Rhys stood more freely as he looked towards the heavens as if praying.He had no idea on how to fight properly, however, if he failed to defeat Sophia here, his most important cheat, the strongest system threatened to go offline for three full months.By now, Rhys knew that the system was slightly evil, however, there was no denying its strength, as despite its disposition to put him in awkward situations, Rhys did not wish to have it deactivated.'I can't throw this match away, I need to do my best…. But how?' he wondered as he tried to steady his breath as he closed his eyes.To Professor Mave and the rest of the crowd, it looked like Rhys was completely relaxed and taking his time to get into the mindset of a fighter, as many admired his composure and were excited to see what h

News about Rhys's dominant performance as a fighter spread like wildfire throughout the university once the lecture came to an end.Tales of his heroics became exaggerated to the extreme and just like the game of Chinese whisper, it became utterly ridiculous by the time it changed a few ears.'Cunning like Dreavon''Dominant like Ravan'Became the adjectives that students used to describe Rhys's performance as the fact that the champion of Sol was stronger than the champion of Poseidon became the day's headlines with every student being made aware of the results within an hour.On the bright side, Rhys was viewed as a fearsome guy and nobody tried to pick on him. However, on the worse side, the spotlight on him seemed to have gotten even brighter, increasing the expectations resting on his shoulders.**************Rhys reunited with Buhara and Erin once his class ended and the three of them headed off to have lunch together at the mess.Without Rhys having to say anything, the two al
