Chapter 132 : Resolve
Inside Classroom 1-A, the gentle rays of morning sunlight spilled through tall windows, dancing across polished marble floors and casting long shadows from the rows of ornate desks.
Charlotte stood beside Seraphina near the front of the room, arms crossed and brows furrowed, her gaze locked on Ethan Williams. He stood near the classroom exit, holding a sealed envelope in his hand—the very one he planned to submit to the Student Council to officially challenge Alex Dragonheart for the Apex Title.
The room was silent. Ethan’s mad laughter still echoed faintly in their ears.
Charlotte’s eyes narrowed.
’He’s not bluffing. He’s actually going to challenge Alex...’
Without a word, Ethan turned and strode out of the room, his presence still lingering like a storm cloud.
A voice spoke from beside Charlotte, low and amused.
With a smirk tugging at his lips, Alden crossed his arms and said,
"Looks like he’s serious about taking the title of Apex from Alex. And that part about burying him? I honestly can’t tell if he was joking or dead serious."
Seraphina, still staring toward the door, added calmly,
"His eyes... they looked serious. Not just about winning. About beating him to a pulp."
Alden chuckled, though there was tension behind it.
