Chapter 299 Chapter 299: Rumors and Realities: Hazael's Announcement

?I was sick recently, but I am now better and will be posting chapters again. Thank you for understanding.

══════

Even though there wasn't a designated area, there were certain groups that prevented other students from getting too close.

One such group consisted of Felipe Nunes, Luan Neto, Miguel Sousa Santos Junior, among other outstanding students who held the Grandmaster Rank.

Even though they were a group that drew attention, their presence was so imposing that the other students kept a considerable distance from them.

"Felipe, what's your take?"

Turning to Luan, Felipe replied with a hint of arrogance, "Without a doubt, if it happens, one of us will be chosen."

'Obviously, it will be me.' Felipe thought to himself shortly after.

"I agree." Luan retorted, however, internally he laughed, believing that if someone were to be selected for the special class, that someone would be him.

Miguel burst out laughing: "Hahaha, as much as I'm curious if it's going to be one of us, it might even be that newbie over there."

Identifying whom Miguel was referring to, Felipe Nunes let out a sarcastic laugh, so intense that it altered his facial expression: "Yes, yes, maybe him, Hahaha."

A beautiful young woman with dark hair let out a soft laugh and then observed, "Hehehe, you guys are so cruel! He might stand out among the newcomers, but there's no need to mock him like that~~"

"Anita, you can talk all you want, but..." Felipe laughed, "It's clear you're having fun at the boy's expense."

"Admit it, Felipe, you're jealous." Another young woman intervened with a melodic yet somewhat annoying voice, "Look at him, he's surrounded by charming girls~"

"Those ones? Hahaha, please!" Felipe retorted sarcastically, "Even the least attractive from my group of admirers are more fascinating than them!"

"Really?" Luan questioned, incredulously: "I don't see it that way. He's even accompanied by a pair of twins. I've heard rumors that he's well-liked among the first-year college girls, and even some from the second and third years seem interested in him."

"Ah, they're just opportunists looking to take advantage of his talent. In the end, that's all it is." Felipe continued to mock.

The professor continued, dwelling on tangents about genetics and the importance of the inherent strength of each individual. He also emphasized, albeit indirectly, the prestige and significance associated with promotion to the special class. At the end of his speech, with a wave of his hand, he called the vice-principal, Hazael, to join him on stage.

The next moment, Vice-Principal Hazael made his entrance. Dressed impeccably, he wore a well-tailored dark suit, a firm-

collared white shirt, and a subdued-toned tie. Hazael was a man of modest stature, standing about 130 cm tall. His white hair adorned only the sides of his head, leaving the bald top exposed. Although his smile did not seem genuine and his appearance made him look frail, there was an aura around him that suggested underestimating him would be a grave mistake.

Holding the microphone, Old Hazael spoke with a friendly smile: "I'm not one for beating around the bush, so I'll be direct. Due to special circumstances, one of our students has been elevated to the special class. For those unfamiliar with what this means, it is a position that grants exclusive privileges, such as access to high-level Star Rank magic tomes and other benefits. If you wish for more details, consult the university's website, where all the information is available. But now, to the main point: Amon Tang."

As soon as this name was mentioned, a buzz spread.

Many cast glances in the direction of Luan's group, especially at Felipe, holding back malicious laughter.

"Why him of all people?"

The general discontent was evident.

Although Old Hazael had not specified that Amon would be the one promoted, upon hearing his name, everyone drew their conclusions.

"This is ridiculous!"

"How can it be? A mere freshman?"

"He just arrived and he's already getting this promotion?"

"Does he have some special connection with the board?"

"What did he do that's so extraordinary to deserve this?"

Many felt as if they had been slapped, a sensation of shame and disbelief. They had doubted and even mocked the idea that the first-year standout would be elevated to the special class. However, when the news materialized, they felt as if they had taken a direct hit.

Obviously, they didn't accept the situation right away. Many thought it might be some joke or mistake until they were convinced that the mention of Amon Tang had a distinct purpose.

"Silence!" Old Hazael's voice rang out again, but now without the previous friendly tone.
