Chapter 179: Undercurrents
"You alright...?"
Caleb asked the disoriented instructor after standing back up. It took several moments for the instructor to process what had happened. When he did, a sudden rush of embarrassment washed over him as he quickly sat up.
With the momentum broken, the spectating knights and the others knew the fight was over. However, like Caleb had mentioned, he was far stronger and faster than they had anticipated. He didn’t even use spells or abilities.
Although the fight was not particularly intense and none of them went all out, reaction time and perception played a vital role in fights. Even if the instructor had increased his reaction speed, it still wouldn’t have been enough to outdo Caleb.
"That was so cool...!"
Before the instructor could even respond to Caleb’s words or shrug them off, Princess Celine squealed like a fangirl and rushed towards the two men. She completely ignored her instructor and came to stand before Caleb, her eyes shining brightly.
The excited smile on her lips was infectious, prompting Caleb to smile as well. ’This girl is something else... She does not hold back at all.’
He wasn’t complaining at all. In fact, he liked the princess’s energy.
"Impressive, Caleb."
Everyone’s attention was drawn when Prince Osbourne praised Caleb as he closed in on the crowd. Swiftly, the surrounding knights and everyone around bowed their heads.
"Your Highness."
"At ease, everyone." The prince waved off the greetings with a gentle smile.
