Chapter 124: Sit Up
William fell into line, but Marlon and Alexandre were genuinely astonished; it's true that he'd breezed through breakfast having mastered this technique, but seeing him practice it with so little difficulty disconcerted the two men, who guessed that mastering hunter's energy to this level in such a short time was a sure sign of incredible talent.
On his side, Alexandre was obviously the target of suspicion from all the students and teachers, but also from his two classmates, chambret. For them, Alexandre was a simple cheat who had been injected with a pirate solution of the S.G.C., as there were a certain number of them in each class, but they obviously didn't know the details, which ultimately helped Alexandre, who wished to remain discreet about his past.
Marlon, the only one of the trio not to have passed the exam, says to William: "Seriously, dude!? I thought you were giving me a joke this morning! How can you master hunter energy in less than 24 hours? It's absolutely insane!"
William replied, "I've already explained them to you! You have to think of hunter energy as a muscle you can control, the more you make it move the more you can control it to your liking."
Marlon "Energy that you control like a muscle? Is that supposed to mean something clear?"
Alexandre interrupted him and said, "Tell me, William, what a nice baguette you've bought! Is it to master your lightning?"
William replies: "Yes, it's a sort of metal convector, as I'm developing my lightning skill at the moment, so a metal object seemed sensible to me, so yesterday, at the end of class, I went to the market to buy it. It's second-hand, of course, and it's a common item with few statistics, but it will enable me to pass this test!
