My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 974 - 792: Faceplant, Faceplant, and Yet Another Faceplant (Super - )
In a private room of a restaurant outside the academy, Galro, a genius from Class 2 of the Hero Club, had booked three large tables, all filled with dishes made from Mutant Beast meat and Source Plant cuisine.
Compared to the preciousness of credits, Source Crystals were much less valuable in their eyes. Every genius had at least hundreds of thousands of Source Crystals in their pockets, more than enough to enjoy a few good meals.
Galro had a lot of influence.
In Hero City, he was also a genius second only to Vito and Joe, a well-known figure. His father was a Transcendent Second Tier, ranking among the top ten within the Hero Club.
But upon arriving at the World Tree Academy, to his complete surprise, he had been assigned to Class 2.
This was an insult!
"In tomorrow’s end-of-month exam, I must make the academy understand the consequences of underestimating me!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Big brother is right, I snooped around, and the end-of-month exam is in challenge mode. Every student can freely challenge classmates or students of higher-level classes. Big brother only needs to defeat any student from Class 1 to advance, and the victor can continue to challenge... um, it seems there’s a maximum of three chances to fail, but big brother surely won’t need them."
Vito listened quietly, feeling a bit strange.
Where did you get such confidence from?
Even he only barely had the assurance of staying in Class 1.
Could it be that you have no idea of the strengths of other students?
With a bit of thought, Vito felt this was highly possible.
Thinking of himself, he also had no intention of gathering intel on other students. If it weren’t for getting beaten in the Heavenly Ladder Battle, he wouldn’t have realized that all his classmates were masters pretending to be ordinary.
Among the five between ranks 43 to 47, four were his classmates. Vito initially didn’t know their names, but he remembered their appearances and auras.
These people, even if Galro’s strength doubled after coming to the World Tree Academy, could not be his opponents.
Vito probed from the side and learned that Galro spent most of his time on cultivation, had just surpassed the newly advanced Transcendent, and learned two new spells—most of his credits were used on spell learning.
But...
That was all.
Vito hinted several times, but Galro didn’t care, thinking that given the population ratio, Hero Club had more geniuses than Green Shadow City. Even though Green Shadow City trained strong people well, ranking in the top ten or twenty should not be a problem, right?
Galro boasted several times that tomorrow he would at least defeat five students from Class 1.
Vito opened his mouth but in the end didn’t say anything.
On the following day,
Vito logged into the ’Spirit Space - World Tree Academy Area’, and unlike the previously empty square, at this moment, there were at least hundreds of people as far as the eye could see.
It was said that the mirror image space technology was used, and what they saw here were only Genius Class students.
A vice principal used authority to transform the square into a huge venue, with ten arenas spread across it, and a high stage at the front.
The vice principal, looking like a middle-aged man, walked onto the high stage and spent half an hour briefly speaking just two sentences.
Then, it was the challenge session.
"I can’t wait any longer." Galro twisted his neck, the bones making cracking sounds.
Birds of a feather flock together, people of the same group gather together.
The original students of World Tree Academy generally gathered in certain areas by class, with labels marking their class and name, helping those unfamiliar with each other—including exchange students, as well as original students who possess many closed-door obsessives who hardly met their classmates in years.
Before the challenge, Galro specifically observed for a while.
He didn’t recognize many students, but he wasn’t a fool either.
Those surrounded by stars, exuding an aura of aloofness that others wouldn’t dare enter, filled with awe in their eyes... those must be the difficult-to-deal-with top experts.
He had no intention of challenging those people unless it was effortless to defeat the Genius Class students.
But that was clearly impossible.
Although Galro was confident, he dared not underestimate the geniuses of Green Shadow City.
’With my level, I think I’m about medium-to-high in Class 1.’
At this moment, almost everyone was observing and waiting, with no one wanting to be the first to step out.
Galro set his eyes on a girl who didn’t seem very confident, stepped out, "Class 2, Galro, challenges this student."
It took several seconds before the girl reacted with a surprised "ah."
The two were transported onto the arena.
Galro, sturdy and tall, overshadowed the girl in presence. Seeing her hastily draw her longsword, he felt assured and secure.
In the air above the arena, the 10-second countdown reached zero.
Galro maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, not striking first.
Suddenly,
His hair stood on end as a chill rose from his feet straight to his head.
’Danger!’
He immediately executed an Advanced Step Technique, leaving seven afterimages on the arena before appearing at another location, his armguards transforming into a Divine Weapon shield in front of him.
But he was still a step too late.
"I..."
He looked down, dumbfounded at his chest already pierced through, the pain transmitting only now.
On the opposite side, the less confident girl also had a surprised look.
As if saying, how could the opponent be so weak?
"Pfft—"
Galro spat out a mouthful of old blood, his figure turning into light particles appearing below the stage, the wound healed, but he hadn’t caught up with what happened.
What exactly happened?
Vito walked over, sympathetically patted his shoulder, "Geniuses of Green Shadow City are hard to mess with, it’s better to be cautious, in case all three challenge opportunities are used up..."
"No, I must have chosen the wrong target!"
Galro seemed obsessed, his gaze constantly searching before finally landing on a plain-looking boy with a not particularly strong aura.
