Chapter 60: Right To Challenge
[11:00 AM]
[DING!!]
Monica’s voice echoed through the Vitality Academy’s classrooms and hallways, causing all students to look up at the speakers.
["Students, I know some of you have already heard about the upcoming academy competition... And this year’s rules state that only freshmen will participate."]
"Huh?" A wave of confusion rippled through the school.
"Why only freshmen?" someone questioned aloud.
From his seat, Adrian hissed, "Those bastards! Always looking down on us!"
"They’re looking down on us because you lost last year," a voice drawled from behind him.
Adrian spun around to see Adonis smirking. "You! Who would have thought a student from the guardian academy would possess a Mystical-stage Beast?!" he retorted.
Adonis simply rolled his eyes. "Pretentions," he muttered under his breath.
In the front row, Chloe clenched her fists, her face tight with suppressed anger. Last year’s loss in the competition had been a profound humiliation, especially as the Dean’s apprentice and heiress to the prestigious Borodino family. She had been determined to erase that stain by winning this year with her three Mystical-stage beasts. The guardian academy’s new rule felt like a deliberate slap in the face.
