Chapter 77
77 Lord Zarak
When Cain, Levi, and Beelze returned to the cadet’s section of the Imperial Lightning Fort, they took a deep breath and finally relaxed. The trip to the Pillars of Trial was supposed to be fun, but it turned into a dreadful one.
Cain showed an odd smile as he remembered the legend written in the Cadet Ranking. He had willpower equal to a Late Wave Champion, meaning his talent in that aspect was overwhelming. Unfortunately, monstrous willpower would not offer any form of protection to the envious people that wanted to dissect him to know the secret behind his abilities.
As the pressure of the world came crashing down on Cain, he remembered a phrase his father had told him.
‘There is no way to change the past. Accept it with serenity, and find the courage within yourself to mold the future according to your will.’
Cain clenched his fist, and a red light appeared in his eyes as he pushed all doubts and fears away. No matter what, he would take everything the world sent him and rise above all his tribulations.
“You are not alone. We are with you.” Beelze uttered those words as she put a hand over Cain’s right shoulder.
“That is right. As long as we grow powerful enough, even a Wave Champion would not dare to mess with us.” Levi’s eyes glowed with determination as he patted Cain’s left shoulder.
Cain could not help but show a radiant smile as he saw the duo. True friendship is very hard to get; once you obtain it, you must cherish it with all your heart.
“Thank you both. I should rest. I will not take any mission for the time being. Although it would hurt my credits, it is better to be safe.” Cain did not mind the lack of credits as he already had plenty, but the missions were also a great way to train.

“Indeed, you should not take missions, but I don’t think you would need to worry about credits for the time being. After all, you took first place.”
