Upon hearing Theodore discuss terms, both of them grinned. They were not afraid of him laying out conditions; rather, they were afraid he would not agree."If you truly kill Kieran, or even just cripple him, you can choose to be the deputy head of either the Modu or Imperial City's branch!" Warren Griffin said outright!At first, Serena was taken aback by his words, but she quickly understood and chimed in, "Right, as long as you achieve this, I can step down in Imperial City, and hand the position of deputy head to you. In Modu, with Dean Griffin here, making you a deputy head won't be a problem."Theodore is a homegrown genius of the Everlasting Martial Arts School, he would not shift to other forces. To captivate him, either loads of resources or power within the Everlasting Martial Arts School is needed. However, resources are a hassle and not as enticing as the position of deputy head, because once a deputy head, a multitude of resources will come along. This is a long-term benef

The other two who lost were, one from the Fighter's Association, and one from Everlasting Martial Hall, with no one from the military department being eliminated."Next round's draw will commence in two hours!" A staff member announces loudly from the stage.Kieran stands up, "I'm going for a walk!"It's not that he needs practice, but he just can't sit and wait for two hours."This time, the Saint Academy is really pitiful.""True, they had the largest number of people, but after just one round, only one person remains.""No, it's two. One had a bye!""Oh, I forgot. But the next round, they're probably all going to be eliminated."Walking amidst the crowd, Kieran hears the most conversation about the Saint Academy, mostly expressions of sympathy."Classmate!"A voice rings out near Kieran.Seeing that it's Rachel Chen, the one responsible for the live broadcast, he's startled."Congratulations, classmate!" Rachel says with a smile to Kieran."Congratulate me?" Kieran looks puzzled."

Right at that moment, two figures clashed on the stage, and then one figure was thrown back.Rachel, who was excitedly commenting, opened her mouth wide, her eyes bulging out. She watched the flying figure in disbelief, frozen in place.And it was not just her. At this moment, the whispering crowd fell into a deathly silence as the onlookers stared at the stage, their faces filled with various expressions of surprise.BOOM!When the figure who was thrown off crashed down beside the stage, making a loud noise, it shocked everyone back to reality."Holy cow? What just happened?" someone asked in disbelief."Both launched a punch, touched slightly, and then that man went flying!" someone exclaimed in shock."Well..."Typically, in a duel between two people, touching slightly at the beginning is a common occurrence to test each other's abilities, and it's considered normal. However, this was his first time getting blown away by a single punch.Everyone here is a genius. They usually take

Upon hearing this, the crowd understood Kieran's thoughts.The Vice Dean nodded, then returned to his seat.Kieran stood in the center of the stage and looked at Christopher and Theodore, "Which of you will go first?""I'll go first!""I'll go first!"Christopher and Theodore almost simultaneously spoke. One had a bet with Kieran, and the other was planning on making a sneak attack. Both of them wanted to step onto the stage first. Otherwise, if Kieran lost, they would no longer have a chance."Kieran, you have the power of choice," The Vice Dean said.Kieran smiled at the two of them, "Originally, I was going to take on both of you at once. But let's forget that. If I defeated both of you in a 'two against one' fight, the blow to your pride would be too great!"His words were light and casual, just like an ordinary discourse. There was no trace of arrogance in his tone, and his expression was utterly plain.Yet, these words made everyone present slightly stunned."Wow, such arrogance

Originally, Theodore and Christopher were supposed to have a match, but now, no way.Since Theodore lost even worse, he was directly ranked before Christopher.After the ranking was announced, the Vice Dean stood up. He said with a smile, "In this competition, Kieran won the first place, representing the first place in the Saint Academy, and also representing that our academy has won the honor of this competition!""From today onward, the resources of the First Academy will triple. Among the nine Saint Academies, the official ranking places the First Academy at the first place."His words were instantly broadcasted on the live stream!At this moment, all the Saint Academies across the country, as well as various high schools were watching clearly.The official ranking was one thing, after all, there often existed a gap between it and the ranking in people's minds. What people valued most was what the academy could bring to them.But the resources of the First Academy tripling was an u
