Chapter 1366 The Woman Who Wants To See The World Burn
Varian hated his intuition sometimes. It mostly didn't work for thegood things. But it worked wonderfully for bad things.His intuition started whispering that something might happen. Buthaving come this far, Varian didn't want to give up.According to his original plan, 'Telor' should start fighting againstsome of the powerful students in the academy in these two weeks.He should show 'improvement' with each battle and make it seemlike he's continously growing from his natal treasure.To get into the laboratory, he had to get into the top 10. It mightseem simple since Telor was the top 50. But there's an ocean ofdifferences between each rank range.Top 10 were the strongest mid rank 7s you could find. Robert wasliterally the strongest mid rank 7.As shameful as it might be, there's no third-grader as strong as him.The top 25 were average mid rank 7s. The ones that stayed in thesub-rank for a good while but haven't reached the peak yet.From 26th to 40th were the guys who entered mid rank 7 but werestill considered beginners.And finally, 41st to 50th were the low rank 7s.The crown prince might not appear that impressive whencompared to the top 10 but that line of thought would be a gravemistake.Even the number 1 student of the academy, Robert, would have tobreak through into high rank 7. Then, he'd have to reach peak inthat sub-rank. And only then could he enter the zone of peak rank7.While the distance appeared small, the time it'd take for these steps7.While the distance appeared small, the time it'd take for these stepswould be rounded up to at least a century.And there's no guarantee that these 'geniuses' wouldn't get stuck ina bottleneck that could hold them down for centuries.Against that backdrop, while the distance between a low rank 7 andpeak mid rank 7 wasn't as high compared to the peak mid rank 7and peak rank 7, it's still enormous.So, Varian had to justify his performance by laying the foundationbeforehand.Following his so-called 'plan', he knocked on the doors of an exoticgym where the 41st ranker, the strongest low rank 7 of the academypracticed."Chanlar, come out! I've had enough of you! Let's settle scorestoday!"'Telor' yelled out loud, his eyes fuming with anger.A muscular man whose body surpassed even the sculpted statuesemerged out of the gym. Behind him were a bunch of followers, alllooking at Telor with displeasure."Telor, I don't remember bullying you." Chanlar jaw moved up anddown, moving the iron rod with weights attracted to its end.This guy was mad! He's exercising with his jaw! Was it for thatmythical jawline or what?Varian shook his head. He had to fight and establish a name forhimself."No, no. We have a grudge. A big grudge." He clenched his fist andlightly punched his palm with a ferocious smile."Oh, pray tell which grudge?" Chanlar did a squat and then began togrit his teeth while panting. "Ugh, arghh, ugh!"Varian took a few steps back at those sounds before his gaze shifteddown.He saw a few barbells tied with a powerful string moving up anddown. The barbells were hanging outside but the force on thestring was coming from inside Chanlar's shorts…Varian shuddered and looked at the muscular man with a weirdexpression. "For the sake of curbing this obscenity, I'll fight you!""But didn't you say we have a grudge?" Chanlar groaned as hepulled the barbels up before sighing in relief."The grudge…" Varian paused and looked at Chanlar for a moment.'A normal duel won't do. It has to be viral on the campus. So,something emotionally charged!'"The grudge is that you're ugly!"A sudden silence filled the premises of the gym.Other members of the gym quickly moved away, their faces paleand their eyes looking at Varian like they were watching him for thelast time.Chanlar stopped his squat and stood. With a snort, his shirtexploded. Then, the extremely heavy metals attached to his arms,biceps, chest, and core began to fall off.As they did, a small earthquake hit the neighboring areas.'That weight…it's what? A hundred suns?' Varian's jaw dropped.Chanlar cracked his knuckles, stretched his arms, and took a deepbreath. And then, another set of weights dropped from his shorts.Thankfully, his shorts didn't explode.Another earthquake struck the region, this one a bit less ferociousthan the last.Varian sighed.This academy housed crazy people. Why couldn't everyone be likehim? A normal guy, a normal family, a normal race.[Host, should I bring a mirror?]'I don't need a mirror to know I'm handsome.'[…Right. You're so handsome a peak rank 9 woman dropped out ofnowhere and is now stalking you.]Varian's bright expression instantly collapsed and he looked fromthe corner of his eye.That mysterious woman stood behind a row of tall trees and waswatching the confrontation with interest.'Why is she eating snacks and drinking cool drinks?'Varian took a deep breath and turned his focus to the opponent infront."So, Telor, you come to my gym without any provocation. You callme out without any reason. You then insult me in front of mypeople." Chanlar's voice was low but the rage in it was growing withevery word."Err," Varian felt a little embarrassed.'If you put it like that, it looks like I'm the bad guy here. But well…'Varian turned around and yelled at the woman. "Hey, do you thinkhe's ugly?"The woman paused for a moment and then yelled back. "He's reallyugly! I heard they show his photos to freshmen to scare them off.The boys are threatened that this guy will enter their bathroom andthe girls are threatened that he'll be rumored to be their ex."As she finished speaking, she swiped the watch on her wrist and afew holograms popped up between Varian and Chanlar.They were articles published by one of the student-run mediareally stating those things.'Fuck! I was just asking!' Varian wanted to slap himself.With a stiff smile, he turned to the man in the spotlight.Chanlar's face was turning purple and red while his chest heavedup and down. His eyes were bloodshot and he was staring at Varianwith a gaze that looked like he was the enemy who killed his motherand father.'I just wanted a serious fight. But now this guy might fight me todeath!' Varian realized the seriousness of the situation."Handsome Telor! Handsome Telor! Beat down that bastard andshow him who's the boss!" The woman began to cheer.As if her loud voice wasn't enough, she brought out a mike-liketreasure and even started a live stream."Girls, get ready to watch the most handsome man of the academy!Telor Xon Navak!" She said in a cheerful tone.After glancing at the screen, she shrugged. "Oh, the gym membersand his opponent Chanlar are ugly? A hundred members agree? Butthat's how contrast is created! With contrast, his handsomeness ishighlighted even more!"Those words were the last straw that broke Chanlar's patience.Kicking the ground, he shot forward, his punch aiming straight forVarian's face. "You disgusting handsome bastard!"Varian hurriedly put up his palm in defence while he cursed thatwoman.'Your live stream just started! How will you get 100 viewers? You justwant to screw me! Screw you!'BOOM!And like that, the first fight began.
