Today was the last day in the forest. Well, rather than saying it was the last day, it was better to say this moment was the last time they would stay in the forest. In the end, Lucinda, Emelia and 2 other guards were the only ones to survive the entire ordeal. Mom of them had expected things to be so chaotic during these past few days. After fleeing from the Zombie horde that night, they headed in the opposite direction to meet people running from another zombie horde. The events of that night and the day that followed were very Apart from the tissues with zombies, they battled with other awakeners who got in their way. Such a thing happened more frequently than they had anticipated. Emelia would've loved to go solo and avoid problems, but Lucinda has always been straightforward, a little stupid and easily led by the nose. Emelia felt that if she left Lucinda with her guards, they might secretly do away with her now that the entire forest zone was very chaotic. That's why s
Looking at Gray who was still in one piece despite his overly torn clothes, Emelia felt it funny. Slowly reaching him, she too took a seat on the large branch, as both of them stared down the thick mist below. "Why do you look like you escaped the mouth of a dog? Your clothes are barely holding on." Gray touched his clothes in embarrassment. "Hey, what do you know? Since you arrived at this place, I've been fighting day and night." "Zombie Horde?" Boom! Gray instantly got nervous, shocked by her accurate guess. "How did you know?" Emelia frowned, not understanding what he was nervous about. "Why are you getting so worked up, do you think you're the only one who fought those zombies? Or do you think it's because of you that those zombies appeared?" "..." Can he say it's actually because of him killing the Zombie leader, that the zombie horde went out on a rampage? At least listening to Emelia's recap of what she and perhaps many others went through, he quickly changed his ve
Waking up, Gray felt his star shining so bright no one could stop it. Today is the day… Today is the day he stops the pretense!"Damm, I still have to act crippled, at least until the examination starts with all the big guys over here watching." Looking around his small and creaky home, Gray washed his face, not caring about the noise the creaking floors made. He knew that once he opened the door, a frying pan would be waiting to snack him in the face. But he just didn't care! So long creaky home… After today, he might never stay here again! Onwards, and upwards! (^0^)Dodging the attacks from his neighbors, Glen Chu quickly escaped his home, and went down the many flights of wobbly stairs, before vanishing into the thick fog. His steps were uneven and his movements were like that of a cripple. It took a long, long, while before he could see the school's majestic structure. Today, the terrifying Teacher Kang wasn't the one on Gate duty. Everyone knew the drill. Anyone late
shrugging his shoulders, Gray chose to stand at an inconspicuous place at the back. And those he passed, especially the girls, all stared at him with utmost disgust when their eyes fell on his body.With the way they were acting, you would think he carried some deadly apocalyptic plague on him.Looking at the dazzling youngsters ahead who served as a stark contrast to him, Gray only shook his head wryly."Ahhhh!!! Brother Adler is just too good-looking. Today is my last chance, and I'm not backing down! I will confess my feelings to Adler Gannon. He thinks I'm special, so I have a higher chance, right?""Pooh! Keep dreaming! just you alone want to capture our Prince's heart?""That's right! Just because you offered him a pencil when he lost his doesn't mean you are goddamn special, slut!""Exactly! And with that broad nose of yours and high forehead, I'm surprised you even have the confidence to confess at all!""You--... Ahhh! Look, look! It's Slytherin Bashwood!"(^v^)...Gray start
Well, Gray felt that if eyes could kill, he would be dead by now. He felt choked, feeling aggrieved for his innocence."What's wrong with you?""Nothing."Forget it.(:TvT:)After today, he will no longer be known as trash to the world. Which was probably why Emelia decided to publicly speak to him today. But although he would soon be known as a genius, for now, he was still trash in the eyes of many."Young master Slytherin, would you like us to go ruffle him up?" One of Slytherin's followers suggested, gnashing his teeth and smashing his fists together when staring Gray's way.How dare that lowlife attract attention from their young master's woman?"Easy, Bone Crusher." Slytherin calmly called out.His voice was neither loud nor high, yet it sent his chill down the spines of those around him. "My, my, my… Why all the fuss? Trash like him will never follow my woman to any academy."So why worry about a little worm they can crush anytime they want?Slytherin only regretted that he ha
Gray had to admit that Yegan from the Phoenix Tide Academy wasn’t the only eye-catching guest to arrive. From the way others couldn’t stop fidgeting like ants when staring at the rest, he knew the rest were also prominent masters in their own way.Z-sphere has a total of 3 academies that everyone from all 30 strongholds can go to.These academies are all out of the strongholds, with some only 3 hours away via vehicle from the closest stronghold. Make no mistake, on foot, they were faster than vehicles. But for the wealthy who have vehicles, they preferred to have their families drive them to the academy. After all, it was more comfortable to sit in a vehicle while evading the many giant creatures outside the stronghold.Looking at the guests standing before, Gray felt more inclined to favor Yegan than the others who had their noses high up in the air. The dean, a man with a chubby belly, a bald head and an ever-smiling face, stepped forward in suit to address them. "Students of t
As expected, Gray was among the bottom feeders.Well, you could call it that since no one knew his true strength. Looking at the guests and teachers who were seemingly bored but had no other choice than to keep watching, Gray shook his head wryly. Because this 5-decade competition was important, the guests from other territories and the teachers, had to stay and watch, no matter how boring it seemed. Tall chess pieces, be they important or not, could affect the ranking results for every Stronghold. Thus, all eyes must be on the scene to ensure the results are truthful. Gray was at the very, very bottom of the list. "Hey Cripple, after the 4 matches, it's gonna be you and me!" A burly youth quickly threatened while running his thumb across his throat. You-Are-DEAD!Gray said nothing, turning his attention to the 4 elevated platforms at the center. If you get pushed out, you lose. That said, the maximum time per fight is 5 minutes. After that, the one with the least injuries or t
"Oi~... it's the famous trash of the school.""Tsk, Mo Deg is doing us a favor by teaching that shameless son of a bitch a lesson he will never forget in a hurry.""Pff~... Too funny. With the way his legs are dancing, are you sure he can even last 3 minutes on stage?""3 minutes is too much. I bet 10 Bronze tokens that he'll get kicked out in under a single breath. Just watch and see."Many didn't hide their contempt when watching Gray slowly make his way to the stage with his 'crippled' leg.Of course, in Gray's true nature, he couldn't allow himself to let good this opportunity of taunting the others and growing hatred points from them.Hey, it's best to get them pumped up and beat him up to a pump to make him stronger right?During his time in the Forest, he discovered a new advantage he had neglected all along.With his current strength, even if he was beaten by his peers, the bonus points he would get
