Chapter 128 - Understimate Me? Fine
After exchanging a few words, the group went to the gym, where all the participants for the last round gathered.
As expected, as soon as they entered the gym, everyone\'s eyes were on them. Many were astonished because they might be the leading group as of now, especially with Alea on board.
"Look. That is Alea\'s group."
"Yeah. They have Ellen Marcines. She is rumored to have the same strength as our Student Council\'s Vice President."
When they talked about it, the Student Council Group and the other two members looked at Jay Mao. Jay only shook his head since they knew Ellen was far better than him. They just didn\'t know it yet.
The amazement didn\'t end there. They saw the two second-year students and had a mixed reaction. Obviously, the fangirls quickly screamed like they were in love while calling Phyrill\'s title out loud.
"Kya!"
"My Prince."
While those fangirls focused on Phyrill, some of the stronger ones actually looked at Sihan Raskaka. Sihan was known as the number one Guardian without anyone coming close to his level like Alea. Phyrill, Ellen, or Laust all had a kind of rival that people always compared them with, such as Aisha or Jay Mao.
That was why they took Sihan\'s matter seriously.
Still, the most shocking one was the first year.
"Laust Lange?"
"He is the younger brother of Ben Lange, the genius senior who graduated with the highest level in history. He also participated in the Grand Gaia competition of his generation."
"It seems the younger brother is trying to pursue his brother\'s footsteps."
Yes, this was what Laust had been listening to for a decade. People always knew he was Ben Lange\'s younger brother, not Laust Lange. People always compared him to his talented big brother.
After a long decade, the hatred in Laust\'s heart that had been suppressed was released when Theo defeated him. In fact, with how long this matter infuriated him, it was surprising Laust managed to control himself from using some dumb moves due to his judgment being clouded by hatred.
Theo took a glimpse of Laust\'s expression, but everything seemed normal. He appeared to be calm if not numb to this situation.
But as expected, when their eyes locked on the last person in the group, Theo, everything began to question how things could reach this point.
"Wait, who is the last person?"
"We don\'t have any information about that person?"
"Do you know something?"
They all looked at their first-year students to see whether they knew something. However, most of them didn\'t know unless they were in the same class.
"He… Isn\'t he the bullied person in my class?"
"Who is his name again?"
"That\'s right. Theodore Griffith. He is Theodore Griffith."
"Someone among the lowest in our class."
"But look at that, if I\'m not wrong, Sihan Raskaka and Laust Lange are bullying. How do they even become his teammates?"
"No, that\'s not the problem. How can someone like that become their teammate?"
"It\'s not fair."
"There are still many people better than him."
As expected, those comments blew up. Theo already prepared himself for this and just let it go. However, it was different for Alea and Ellen. Ellen often took care of Theo like a big sister while Alea had been working with him for the longest in their group, so those two understood Theo the most.
Even Sihan had an uncomfortable expression. Phyrill had a scheming look. He seemed to be enjoying how everyone underestimated him to the point they looked down on him. No wonder Theo wanted them to ignore their remark.
He planned to use this situation to his advantage in the third stage. In fact, there was a chance Theo had been looking much further to the Grand Gaia Competition. If he established himself as a lucky person of this group, the enemy would be underestimating him even further.
\'He is good… Really, really good.\' Phyrill licked his lips and glanced at Theo, who kept his cool. \'I really want him in my Hilbert Family. I\'m sure he can rise to the top. At that time, my Hilbert Family will soar to the sky.\'
Phyrill might be the one who understood Theo\'s plan the most since they were the same type, even though he was slightly behind.
While they were talking about him, Theo took a simple glance at his surroundings, counting on how many people managed to survive to the third round. He found Aisha\'s group in his right, looking at the others with contempt. The same applied to the Student Council group in the opposite direction.
They simply thought these people were foolish because Theo had been hiding his strength this whole time. In fact, Theo\'s strength was equal to Aisha and Laust and his head was above them.
Only those who had fought against him understood what kind of consequence they needed to bear if they underestimated Theo, but none of them cared enough to warn them since Theo would wipe them out, eliminating their competitors.
As Theo counted the people in this gym, Radvils showed up, walking to the stage without an expression. He simply didn\'t care about their impression of Theo unless he managed to pass all the competitions.
Only a few felt Radvils\'s presence as their eyes followed his movement.
When Radvils arrived in front of the microphone, Theo and those who saw him quickly closed their ears before a high-pitched sound disturbed their ears.
"Kh." Many closed their ears because of the sound and turned around.
Before they complained, Radvils already opened his mouth. "If I were a terrorist, most of you would have died already. Pathetic. I don\'t care about your private life in school, but as long as you are in this training, you\'re going to follow my way. For now, I don\'t want to hear any sound other than my voice."
The students gulped down as they stared at him. Despite his calm but annoying tone, none of them opened their mouths since they knew things would become troublesome if they messed with Radvils.
Radvils nodded and continued, "Alright. Let\'s start then."
