” I do not accept this!”

Boom!!

A loud and enraged voice echoed through the entire lobby, accompanied by the explosion of Nexus energy that sent the trainees who were close to the source flying like pieces of paper.

Everyone turned to look at the source of this voice and saw that it was the petite girl among the repeaters, her body was currently fully coated by Nexus energy that made her hair and uniform to float in the air.

She was currently standing on a small crater and on her face was an expression of dissatisfaction and rage, her small face stared at the screen with eyes flashing with ruthlessness.

The trainees stared at her in shock and fear, those who had been blown away by her had either slammed their bodies into one of the huge trees in the lobby or crashed onto other trainees and had sustained injuries all looked at the petite girl in terror.

They all knew that the repeaters were strong but they did not expect the usually weak looking girl to have such monstrous strength, her current appearance was a great contrast to her normal self and some of the trainees were now terrified of her.

Only a few people kept a calm face even after this sudden outburst, they were the instructors, the remaining four repeaters, Ivan, Ralph and a few other trainees; but all of them except Ivan and the instructors were staring at the screen with serious expressions on their faces.

“Mind your manners! The positions on the ranking are a recognition of a trainee’s abilities and potential, you know what to do if you are unwilling to accept the result. So do the needful and stop causing a scene, else you will have to face me” instructor Logan said in a chilling voice while glaring at the petite girl.

The words of the instructor seemed to have had some effects on the girl, she gradually calmed down and the threatening Nexus energy around her gradually retracted into her body.

But before instructor Logan could continue with his speech, the Nexus energy that had just retracted into the body of the girl burst out once more but this time, it wasn’t as malicious as it had been just then. The Nexus energy this time was more concentrated and dense as it gathered above her palm before stretching out.

Thang!!

A dull sound resounded, the Nexus energy scattered and what was left in the girl’s hand was a long katana. Its blade had a red aura rising from it and one could guess how sharp it was just from staring at it.

Dangerous!

Was what came to everyone’s mind immediately after seeing the katana in the girl’s hand.

‘So she’s a weapon master with a katana talent ‘ Ivan thought to himself while staring at the katana, he wanted to touch it.

Meanwhile, the girl grabbed her katana and gave it a few swings, producing air slashing sounds.

She turned in the direction of Ivan and slowly stepped forward but before her foot could touch the ground, she moved forward as fast as a shadow.

Swoosh!!

Like a gust of wind, she arrived in front of Ivan like a phantom; her speed was so fast that most of the trainees were unable to see her movements clearly.

Because of the physical changes that had happened to Ivan, he was now very tall and was like an adult standing close to a child as he looked down at the petite girl in front of him.

“I challenge you to a duel!” The girl muttered while staring at Ivan straight in the eyes, she didn’t look intimidated by their height difference in the slightest.

Ivan did not say anything and only stared at her with a calm look on his face, it was instructor Logan who came to his rescue.

“I know I said you should do the needful but I didn’t ask you to create a scene when doing that. Besides, there is a new rule…the first position isn’t allowed to accept any challenges until the third month” instructor Logan said.

These words once again caused a ripple in the hearts of the trainees, especially the repeaters.

They were well aware of how fast Ivan was progressing and were also aware of how much resources the first position on the ranking would receive. If Ivan was allowed to train like that for another two months…would they still be able to easily beat him?

They could only wonder just what level of talent Ivan had to be so monstrous.

The hand of the petite girl holding the katana trembled violently when she heard the words of instructor Logan, she kept standing for a while before making her katana disappear in a puff of Nexus energy.

She snorted and left, directly leaving the lobby.

Instructor Logan acted like he did not care about her absence and continued with his announcement, he explained the process of issuing challenges and the effect of the training rooms.

While he was explaining, the trainees had begun checking on the ranking list once more.

Following Ivan, the next nine in the top ten were.

NO.2: Sommy

NO.3: Miko

NO.4: Malcolm

NO.5: Damian

NO.6: Luke

NO.7: Mark

NO.8: Elysia

NO.9: Liora

NO.10: Ralph

The trainees were not surprised to find the repeaters in the top ten, only the appearance of Ivan at the first spot shocked them.

“Is the tower doing this on purpose? There’s no way Ivan is stronger than the repeaters”

“That must be the case, didn’t you hear that he can’t be challenged until the third month? They’re giving him time to prepare”

“This is unfair, we all worked hard. Why is he the one getting special treatment?”

“You think it’s special treatment? He will be targeted by the repeaters once his period of grace is over, you want to switch places with him?”

The trainees began to whisper to one another.

Ivan was not too surprised to find Ralph in top ten, Glen was ranked 105; the total number of trainees on the ranking was 832 so Glen getting a ranking of 105 wasn’t really too bad.

Though the boy still lamented about being left behind by his friends.

“Now that you all have been informed, go and prepare for your new training routine. Ivan, come with me” instructor Logan said and left with Ivan under the curious stares of the trainees.
