Rhys always knew Buhara had superhuman strength, however, when he saw Buhara chopping down wood the size of his body and splitting it down the middle with ease, Rhys realized just how strong that orc was.By the time, Erin and Rhys had rejoined with him, he had single handedly chopped down three trees and pruned off the branches as Rhys was left awestruck by his technique and efficiency." Wow, Sir Buhara, your technique is amazing!" Erin exclaimed, as Buhara laughed out loud after receiving the compliment and began flexing his muscles." BUHAHAHAHARA, Back in my village, I've chopped wood since I was a kid. The trees here are soft and weak. The trees in my home town are strong like Buhara" he said as he proved his point by pruning off an arm sized branch off the tree he chopped down like he was swatting a fly."Alright, I think we can make three pikes with each tree at least, so as long as we finish within the next two hours, we should be able to comfortably complete this quest.Erin

The atmosphere within the academy infirmary reached a boiling point when principal Liam reached the scene and found four of his students passed out on the beds.Usually, the principal only had an air of unpredictability around him, however, today, he had the aura of a berserker on him, as he seemed ready to start an indiscriminate slaughter.With his killing intent leaking, he listened to Madam Forum's report on what she found out as she responded to the emergency distress signal and the developments after." So, when you reached the students, you found Rhys hugging Sophia, desperately trying to save her life by clotting her blood….. while the orc and the golden haired boy were out unconscious with darts sticking out of their necks" Principal Liam asked instructor Forum who nodded earnestly." It certainly looked like Rhys was trying his best to keep the Champion of Poseidon alive, he was also very shook when he saw his friends being brought in for treatment and passed out from shock-

Once Principal Liam left, the other professors too began leaving the infirmary one after another, as some went off to inform the dead relatives of the two students of the unfortunate incident, while some headed back to their jobs to deal with more important things.With the other students in recovery, there was no point in them lingering inside the infirmary anymore and hence except the chief healer, everyone else left the room, giving Rhys some time to think in solace.' I'm pathetic-' is what Rhys felt the second he was left alone, as despite his public image as a champion and a genius, Rhys understood that at his core he was a pathetic nobody.His image as a great warrior was not backed by his own skills and no matter how calm or cool he pretended to be, when things went outside his control, he was left exposed as the fraud that he was.'I fainted just from seeing Erin turn purple…. Let alone surviving a gore battlefield, I'm not even mentally strong enough to see a poisoned patien

A full two weeks after the incident, Sophia finally regained consciousness in the university infirmary.For a moment, she could not believe that she was still alive, as in her last moments before blacking out, she could remember the words 'Save Me' coming out of her mouth as she desperately looked to Rhys for help.That expression, that feeling, it wasn't fake….. at that moment as a dagger was mercilessly plunged into her chest, she indeed felt the desperate need for Rhys to save her.Not from death, not from the pain, but from her own family, as she came to terms with how toxic it was.Ever since she was a child who could understand words, she realized that her and Perseus's father did not view them both as equal siblings.Their father was a misogynistic jerk, who thought women could never be as powerful as men and hence from a very early age, starved Sophia of his love and attention as he saw her as a lesser child amongst Perseus and herself.His hatred for women stemmed from his ow

[ Keep up the good work Sophia. Our family is very proud of you and is glad that you are safe.Father has instructed me to tell you that you must increase your closeness with the Champion of Sol over the coming year, winning over his trust completely as you two hopefully ascend the tower together.As of now, father intends to make a play when you and Rhys reach floor 21 together as it would be then that we shall make a big move, so until then focus on your own personal improvement and increasing your affection with the Champion Of Sol.Unfortunately, none of us can make a visit to your university at the moment, not because we don't wish to, but because nobody wishes to face Principal Liam at the moment.Hopefully you understand,- With love,Perseus. ]Sophia read the letter sent by his brother and crumpled it in an instant.Although it was a nice letter overall, it did not have the level of praise that she expected to experience nor did it bring the good news of announcing their visi
