So why is he acting like you’re some trash?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera sighed and leaned back in his chair. \"Because Veyrion is from one of the main bloodline branches of the Silverian Race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"Main bloodline?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera nodded slowly. \"I’m from a side branch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice remained calm, but there was obvious annoyance underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even though I’m talented, to people like him, side branch members are still inferior unless we completely surpass them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia frowned. \"That’s stupid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak snorted. \"That’s why I hate that bastard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera continued, \"Veyrion is indeed a genius. I won’t deny that. His bloodline purity is higher than mine, and his energy synchronization talent is excellent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his expression became colder. \"But because of that, he and his people are arrogant. Very arrogant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elisa calmly added, \"Some Silverian main branch clans are known for looking down on other races as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion slowly nodded. \"So it’s not just you. He looks down on everyone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera gave a dry laugh. \"Pretty much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Alira finally spoke. \"The Silverian Race is one of the top fifty races in the Cosmic Universe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion paused. \"Top fifty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira nodded. \"Their natural talent in energy control, technology synchronization, and formation connection is extremely high. Many advanced ships, weapons, and cosmic devices use Silverian engineers or operators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked at Slifera with new interest. \"Ohhh... so your race is actually that impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera crossed his arms smugly. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak immediately grinned. \"Too bad your personality isn’t impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera’s smug expression vanished. \"Shut up, horned idiot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak immediately burst into laughter. \"Hahaha! See? That’s the Slifera I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion looked between the two of them with amusement before asking, \"Then how did you even become friends with Rovak and Elisa?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak also paused slightly, as if he had never really thought about it properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elisa calmly picked up her cup and answered first. \"It just happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion blinked. \"That simple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera sighed and leaned back in his chair. \"Pretty much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward the entrance where Veyrion had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I was from a side branch, I was constantly compared, suppressed, and mocked by the main branch. So even though I’m Silverian, I never really had the chance to act as arrogantly as they did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak grinned. \"Yeah. When I first met him, he was still acting smug, but he didn’t actually look down on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera clicked his tongue. \"Because you were too loud to ignore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak laughed. \"Exactly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elisa smiled faintly. \"We met during our first few months in the terminal. Rovak got into trouble, Slifera somehow got dragged into it, and I happened to be nearby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s grin widened. \"That sounds familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera raised an eyebrow. \"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion waved his hand. \"Nothing. Continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera sighed again. \"After that, we kept running into each other. Missions, registrations, training grounds, small conflicts... somehow, it kept happening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak nodded proudly. \"That’s fate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera immediately replied, \"That’s bad luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elisa calmly added, \"But useful bad luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the three of them looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then even Slifera’s expression softened slightly. \"Anyway, it wasn’t some grand story. They were just the first people I met who didn’t care about main branch or side branch nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak pointed at himself proudly. \"I only care if someone can fight well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elisa nodded. \"And I only care if someone is trustworthy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera crossed his arms and looked away. \"So yeah. Coincidence, basically.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled. \"Coincidence, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia grinned while chewing another piece of meat. \"Sounds more like you three are stuck together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak laughed loudly. \"Hahaha! Exactly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera’s mouth twitched. \"Don’t say it like I chose this willingly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak laughed even louder. \"Hahaha! Too late. You’re stuck with us now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elisa smiled faintly but didn’t deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia looked at Slifera for a moment, then glanced toward the direction Veyrion had left. \"So basically, that silver pretty boy has been annoying you for a long time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera frowned. \"Pretty boy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded seriously. \"That description is actually accurate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera ignored him and sighed. \"Yeah. You could say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia slowly grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Rovak also grinned at almost the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera noticed both of their expressions and immediately felt something bad coming. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak slammed one fist into his palm. \"Don’t worry, Slifera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia cracked her knuckles lightly. \"Yeah. If either of us meets him in the arena...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak’s dark-red aura flickered with excitement. \"We’ll teach that bastard a lesson.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s grin became sharper. \"Just count on us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, Slifera stared at both of them silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, surprisingly, a small grin slowly appeared on his face. \"...Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His glowing blue eyes turned colder. \"Make sure you make him sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak burst into loud laughter. \"Hahaha! That’s what I wanted to hear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia lifted her chin proudly. \"Leave it to your senior sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera’s mouth twitched again. \"You’re not my senior sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia ignored him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned back with a satisfied smile while watching them. \"Good, good. This is what I like to see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira glanced at him. \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion grinned. \"Friendship, motivation, revenge, and food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up another piece of meat. \"That’s a perfect training environment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the atmosphere around the table became much lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion, Dahlia, and Rovak continued eating like monsters, while Slifera complained the entire time about how embarrassing they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elisa quietly enjoyed her meal, occasionally stopping Rovak and Slifera from starting another argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alira remained calm at the side, though even she seemed slightly amused by the group’s chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they finally finished eating, the table was covered with empty plates stacked like small mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak stood up first and stretched. \"Alright, that was good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded proudly. \"Not bad. Cosmic food passes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed. \"Yeah. This place is approved by God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slifera sighed. \"Please don’t make that sound like an official certification.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying, the group walked out of Beast Furnace Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tournament district outside was still noisy and bright, filled with participants, spectators, merchants, and floating advertisements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak turned toward Dahlia and grinned. \"Then I’ll see you again when the second round starts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia cracked her knuckles. \"Two or three days, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elisa nodded. \"Most likely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rovak’s grin widened. \"Good. Don’t lose before we fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked back. \"Same to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion waved casually. \"Alright then. See you all later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the group separated under the glowing tournament lights, each waiting for the second round to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>",1142,"2026-06-06T11:12:31.184Z",1,"novelbin.me","d5dac1d466efb6b1685b9e3d7f18d453ad923b2298498dd85ed52848753b591c","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-501","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-599",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
