Standler's mumbles were too soft, to the point that the others couldn't hear it but they saw the Head Freshman Assistant walk up to the ring.
Most of them couldn't help but frown.
They thought Standler was too irrational.
"He's still too young!"
Many of them exclaimed.
The remaining people looked at the arena with anticipation. These people sat in wheelchairs and were covered in bandages. They couldn't wait to see the defeat of the freshmen.
It was the same for the fourth-year students on the stage.
The battle before him was too boring.
It wasn't challenging at all.
"It's time to end this!"
The fourth-year student looked at Standler, who was standing in front of him with his head lowered, and said slowly.
As for Maica, who was heavily injured?
The 4th year student didn't even spare a glance at Maica.
If the 4th year student took a closer look at Maica, he would notice the heavily injured Head Freshman Assistant was looking at Standler with a strange expression.
Maica noticed something was wrong.
As Standler's best friend, Maica noticed Standler's unusual behavior after school reopened. He had been with Standler all the time.
However, Maica couldn't figure out what was going on.
All he could do was watch the 4th year student's fist land on Standler's body, which was 3 meters tall.
3 meters?!
Maica was stunned.
At the next moment, he widened his eyes at Standler, who looked like a little giant with an unbelievably strong body.
The punch that could kill a common man and heavily injure a Predator landed on Standler's muscular body but it didn't do anything to him. Instead, the 4th year student was forced back by the recoil.
Pain came from his palm and shadows covered his body.
The 4th year student looked at Standler in disbelief.
If the transformation didn't happen right in front of his eyes, the 4th year student wouldn't have imagined how a common man could transform into a giant. The shock and confusion in his heart rose like a rising tide, but right away, the 4th year student collected his thoughts and the giant palm was already reaching for him.
The fourth-year student wanted to dodge, but the recoil caused him to stagger, and the suction force from the huge palm made it impossible for him to dodge. Instead, he cooperated and fell into the huge palm.
Intense pain spread throughout his body as he closed his palms.
Then, the fourth-year student felt as if the world was spinning around him.
As it shook, a deafening roar rang out.
"Roar roar roar, call me Papa!"
When the roar rang out, the fourth-year student immediately fell into a state of tinnitus. In addition to the spinning world from before, he was completely dumbfounded.
What was going on?
What happened?
Why Papa?
Questions kept popping up in the fourth-year student's mind, but his blank expression made Standler lose his patience.
He grabbed the man and threw him into the audience seats like a discus.
Immediately, the people who were sitting in wheelchairs and wrapped in bandages were smashed to the ground.
Cries of pain and agony immediately rang out.
However, no one paid attention to them.
Everyone looked at Standler.
Or perhaps they were bewildered.
Or perhaps he was just guessing.
"What talent is this?"
"This batch of freshmen is really scary!"
"There are two Gifted Eaters!"
"Two?"
"Did you forget that both of them are just assistants, the real First Seat is someone else?"
"Monster!"
"What a monster!"
…
Sounds of discussion could be heard from the spectator stands, and the second, third, fourth, and fifth year students who were standing in the arena all had solemn expressions on their faces, including the Valedictorians.
"What an unexpected opponent!"
Tai looked at Standler and sighed.
As the First Seat of the 5th year, he knew how strong the fourth-year student was.
Although he wasn't a match for him, it was impossible for him to take a punch from the other party unscathed and then easily defeat him.
It was also impossible.
He wasn't good at this kind of battle.
His opponent's body was truly terrifying.
He couldn't let Tai get close to him!
Otherwise …
The consequences would be unimaginable!
The thoughts in the First Seat's mind reflected the thoughts of the people around him. They stared at Tai's muscular body, gulping nervously.
The only difference was the First Seat of the 4th year.
Renata looked at the faint mirage on Standler's body, a ridiculing smile appearing in her eyes.
"A special body?"
The 4th year First Seat said softly.
"Are there any challengers?
If not, the freshmen will get two spots to enter the main ring! "
Senile asked loudly.
All the upper year students shook their heads.
After witnessing a 4th year elite student being defeated without a chance to fight back, even the 5th year students didn't want to enter the main ring and ask for trouble.
Maybe the professor's rewards were decent.
But it wasn't worth it to put their lives on the line for the rewards.
Just look at the 4th year student!
Although he was saved in time and didn't die, he would have to rest in bed for at least half a year and that was without considering the consumption of his energy.
For the 5th year students who were about to graduate, it wasn't worth it at all.
As for the 4th year student?
They didn't want to follow in his footsteps.
They were about to be promoted to 5th year students, if they had to rest in bed for half a year, their 4 years of hard work would go to waste.
They couldn't bear the consequences.
The 4th and 5th year students didn't say anything, the 2nd and 3rd year students didn't say anything either. No one liked to be abused.
Of course, the First Seats might have a chance to win.
However, the professor's rewards weren't enough to move the First Seats. Moreover, every First Seat had their own pride.
Asking them to fight the freshmen?
That was impossible.
It wasn't because the First Seat had beaten them up before.
The upper year students kept quiet, so Senile announced loudly.
"Maica and Standler have earned the rights to enter the main ring!"
"We won!"
"We went in and won!"
"Not only is the First Seat strong, even the two assistants are strong?"
"No wonder the First Seat chose them as his assistants!"
"Is this the reason?"
…
After Senile's announcement, the freshmen cheered and went wild. Some questions that they couldn't understand during normal days were solved.
In fact, there were some discussions among the freshmen about why Kieran chose Maica and Standler as his First Seat.
It was fine for Maica because his strength was obvious to all.
But for Standler, who had a mediocre performance?
It was inevitable that the freshmen would have their own guesses.
Some malicious thoughts were inevitable.
However, at this moment, regardless of whether they were kind or malicious, all of them vanished into thin air.
Powerful strength was enough to win everything.
Including but not limited to respect.
Standler's eyes rolled up again as he stood in the main ring. His body wobbled and he looked around in a daze.
Under the light, cheers filled his ears.
'Who am I?
Where am I?
Why do I feel like I've reached the peak of my life? '
Standler's confusion didn't go away when he helped Maica to the main ring. Instead, he grew more confused.
He already knew what had happened from his good friend's mouth.
He was sure it wasn't him.
He didn't even have any memories of that period of time.
"Am I suffering from a split personality disorder?"
Standler started to doubt himself.
"Are you suffering from a split personality disorder?"
Maica asked.
"I don't think so."
Standler answered hesitantly.
"Think about it, wherever you go and what you run into, it will always appear in your heart. I think I've been here before and I've run into something similar?"
Maica asked in a serious tone.
"Em.
I always run into it.
Is it my other personality's experience? "
Standler looked heavy.
"I don't know."
Maica shook his head.
"You don't know?
Then why are you asking me? "
Standler looked at his friend in dissatisfaction.
"I just want to test whether the current you is you or not.
Based on the test, I'm sure you are you.
"If it was that guy from before, I would have been sent flying by now."
Maica explained in a serious manner and Standler gave him the middle finger.
While the two of them were whispering to each other, the remaining slots for the arena were revealed. Most of the 5th graders took up the slots, the 3rd and 4th graders were the minority, and the 2nd graders were wiped out because of Standler and Maica's unexpected appearance.
Everyone applauded for the students in the main ring.
Professor Tyrese walked down from the audience seat and took the microphone from the emcee.
"I'm glad to see the changes.
"Theorate itself is a product of change. Its rules are built on mutual and positive change. Now that such a change has happened to all of you, I'm glad."
Professor Tyrese glanced over Standler and Maica.
"So, I'll personally give you an extra 100 academic points."
Professor Tyrese paused for a while before continuing.
Professors could give academic points to students but it wasn't unlimited. For example, Professor Tyrese could only get around 300 academic points in a semester, which was equivalent to a Bento exchange voucher.
Those who could get into the main ring would get 100 academic points each, plus the extra 100 academic points from Professor Tyrese, it was two-thirds of the Bento exchange voucher.
Everyone looked at Standler and Maica with envy.
But not jealousy.
Because the two's strength was obvious to all.
Maica was a freshman with some rumors about him, and Standler's performance was considered stunning.
Although he was at a loss, the applause was still given to him.
The applause didn't fade away as time went by, quite the contrary, it got louder.
The warm-up was over!
Next, it was time for the battle for delicacies!
It was also the most anticipated show of Theorate's anniversary.
All the students were allowed to participate without any restrictions.
Through battle after battle, the strongest of the six groups of ABCDEF would be decided, and the six of them would fight in the main ring.
The final winner would have the chance to get a Proper Meal class food at a very low price.
As a matter of fact, as long as one reached the ring master level of the six main rings, one could get a Bento exchange voucher for a tenth of the price.
A big box was pushed up to the main ring by Leonard. Inside the box was the list of all the participants of the food competition.
After drawing lots, the participants would get into the six main rings.
The selection process was random. No one knew who would be in the same ring. Thus, Da Lei kept praying.
The 2nd year First Seat didn't want to be in the same ring as the other First Seats.
Although he didn't admit it, he knew there was a certain gap between him and the other First Seats.
Among the other three First Seats, the 5th year First Seat, Tai, didn't care at all. To him, as long as Kieran wasn't in the ring, he would win no matter who he fought.
Renata and Jemara, on the other hand, exchanged gazes and returned to normal, their battle intents boiling.
The two of them couldn't wait to have a fight.
In fact, it wasn't just the two First Seats.
Among the other students, many of them exchanged gazes and rubbed their palms together.
Some of them didn't get along with each other.
Some of them wanted to surpass the others.
All of them blossomed at this moment.
"Draw lots!"
Senile announced.
Professor Tyrese stepped up and wanted to draw lots — the drawing of lots by Professor Tyrese was the result of the students' spontaneous voting.
It wasn't just because of Professor Tyrese's personality that he was loved by the students, it was also because of his fair way of handling matters.
Professor Tyrese raised his hand and reached for the lottery box.
However, just as his hand was about to touch the box, a flame appeared on the box.
Fuuu!
The little flame turned into a blazing fire within a breath's time and engulfed the whole box in a blink of an eye.
The sudden incident made the guards on duty nervous. Principal Romuse, who was sitting in the audience seat, furrowed his brows.
But soon enough, the old principal noticed something.
He looked up to the roof of the gymnasium.
A black figure was standing on top of the bright lights.
His pitch-black silhouette appeared even more profound under the strong light.
Principal Romuse's action attracted the attention of the people around him, causing them to look up.
Those with good eyesight also noticed the black figure.
However, the figure's face was blurry.
Therefore, when this figure jumped down from a high place with a whistling sound and landed on the temporarily empty arena, everyone let out a cry of surprise.
Especially the freshmen.
"First Seat?!"
They were confused when they saw the black figure under the bright lights.
However, the confusion only lasted for a second before it was replaced by the excited cheers of the freshmen.
Kieran, who was standing on top of the main ring, said word by word.
"Draw lots?
"There's no need!"
