Chapter 128: Arena ii
Ryan, however, became the center of attention almost immediately as Olisa passed through the group. Even the commander was staring at him with a frown laced with curiosity. Ahead, Ryan noticed a familiar group seated near the end of the row. The ex-tier student occupied the seat, and just like everyone, they also had a surprised expression etched on their faces.The moment Ryan's eyes found Odessa, his breathing unconsciously paused. She was wearing her academy uniform.Unlike most students, she appeared completely calm, almost detached from the excitement consuming the arena.When Nile noticed Ryan first, a grin appeared immediately. "Look who finally made it. "Took you long enough."Then Ryan's gaze returned to Odessa. For a brief moment, their eyes met and then noticed it drifted to Olisa, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.The tension was obvious between Odessa and Olisa. The sisters looked at each other, and neither smiled as their unresolved issues seemed to linger
Chapter 127: Arena
Distant silence clouded the air as Ryan walked beside Olisa and John, slowly making their way across a section of Iron Gate Academy he had never seen before.The path itself caught his attention, as it was unlike the student walkways that connected the dormitories, classrooms, and training facilities.This route was wider and noticeably with stone pavement maintained to a degree that made the rest of the academy seem ordinary in comparison.Ryan subtly glanced around as he had expected students to flood the premises, but the emptiness made him glance at the other figure beside him until his gaze rested on the description.‘Official route,’ he scanned the latter crest on the tall academy banners that hung from metal poles lining both sides of the path, and the Iron Gate crest fluttered proudly in the morning breeze.Ahead, he could see academy personnel in their official uniform moving through the area, and as they disappeared out of sight, a distant roar soared through the air.Ryan r
Chapter 126: Council Head
Before he could process the title, John bowed, and the action completely caught Ryan off guard as the same John who had intimidated Luke and his friends without lifting a finger was bowing to Olisa."John." Olisa's voice carried a familiar exhaustion. "I have told you several times you can call me Olisa and stop being formal with me,” she added.Ryan noticed several faces turn pale. Apparently, hearing the council head request something so casually was unusual, and from John's face, he could tell several punishments come with it.John remained calm and nodded his head. "I understand.""You say that every time,” Olisa said. “I wonder if you and your brother are more uptight," her voice dropped. John's lips twitched, and it was the closest thing Ryan had ever seen to a smile from him. "I am trying.”Olisa rolled her eyes. "You've been trying for two years?” She paused studying him."I will do better,” John replied.Ryan stared at both of them, then his eyes rested on Olisa. "You are th
Chapter 125: Olisa
The days seemed to disappear faster than Ryan could keep track of them. Ever since the announcement of the Iron Gate Academy Competition, time itself had felt strange. What had once seemed like a distant event slowly transformed into an approaching reality, and now, before anyone truly realized it, the day had finally arrived. The academy had not slept. Even long before dawn, the dormitory buildings were alive with energy. Excitement flowed through every corridor like an unstoppable current. From the chatter and distant noise Ryan could tell students had already started to gather in groups, discussing most of which were wagers about who would advance through the competition. Inside his room, Ryan lay on his bed with the ceiling staring back at him in the darkness. He hasn't slept, and every attempt was useless. Outside his room, distant voices echoed through the hallway. The academy felt more alive at this hour than it normally did during the middle of the day. Ryan slowly rai
Chapter 124: Warning
"Return the watch and I won't report you for violating academy regulations." For the first time, the lazy look vanished from John's eyes, replaced by a cold seriousness.Luke's jaw tightened, and his pride clearly wanted him to resist, but Ryan could see the internal struggle playing across his face.Several emotions battled within him, ranging from anger, embarrassment, and humiliation to, most of all, resentment.He hated the fact that his friend had been defeated and now he was being forced to surrender.Eventually, Luke released a long sigh; he looked down at his wrist, and his fingers moved toward the strap. His face burned with irritation. Then he glared at Ryan. "If it weren't for him—" He clenched his jaw.The unfinished threat hung heavily in the air, but Ryan said nothing, which deepened it. Luke's frustration.With an angry grunt, he swung the watch through the air, and Ryan reacted instantly, and it landed perfectly in his palm.Ryan scanned the watchman series. The screen
Chapter 123: John
Luke shifted his gaze from Ryan's face to his friend groaning on the ground. The boy's body was curled to one side, with both hands clutching his stomach as painful groans escaped his lips and every attempt to rise only ended with him collapsing back down.Even the girl standing beside Luke seemed shaken by the unexpected outcome of the fight. Her eyes moved between Ryan and the injured student several times, as though her mind were struggling to accept what she had just witnessed."No way! Did a Tier Three student seriously defeat a Tier Two in less than a minute?" she muttered with disbelief masking her features.She lowered her gaze toward the fallen student. "There has to be some mistake,’ she quickly added, as her brain tried to make excuses for her.The other boy standing beside Luke looked far less surprised and more furious. He clenched his fists tighter until his knuckles turned white, and the sight of his friend lying helplessly on the ground seemed to ignite a fire inside h
