Chapter 9: Strongest And The Weakest
Professor Sylvia stood at the edge of the track, arms crossed, heels planted firmly against the stone floor as the sound of footfalls filled the massive field.
Her sharp eyes swept across the wave of students circling the training ground, their movements ranging from frantic to focused.
She watched Edwin Leonhart at the front—his pace consistent, form powerful and efficient.
Despite knowing body enhancement magic, he had yet to use any of it and seemed to treat this as nothing more than normal training, unlike the other students.
Even after five laps, he hadn't slowed. His muscles were coiled and unrelenting. A small, rare nod of satisfaction touched Sylvia's lips.
"Mmm... As expected from the person that the Heroic Council has high expectations for."
She murmured to herself.
Not far behind, Elysia moved like a seasoned knight—graceful, precise, and controlled.
Though clearly struggling more than Edwin, there was rhythm in her breath, like that of a veteran warrior—not something you'd expect from a new student.
Jin Halden, too, was chasing after Edwin and Elysia.
Although reckless and burning through his stamina too quickly, he was managing to keep pace for now.
