Chapter 373: Here We Go Again

Welcome to the Capital, Young Beasts! An attendant welcomed the students with a smile. The distance between the Capital and the academy wasnt that far. And with the plane Milosh gave, it took them only an hour. After they were dropped, the clerk took them to the hotel. Teachers would join them later for the competition.

Hello, can you show us our rooms please? Said a muscle-packed young man. He was in charge when there were no teachers around. His name was Eddie Wilkins, he was the strongest student in the second year. Miles had an impression on him, as he too was a Body Branch major. His superpower was, Strong Fist, it was also his moniker in the academy. His punches could penetrate the steel even without any Body Serums. Now, after using serums, his power was much, much more explosive.

He once saw him in Advance Body Branch class and Tutor wanted Eddie to demonstrate. The subject was amplifying the fist with energy to increase its power. With 4 serums, his superpower, and the technique, Eddie punched through an alloy Miles would consider impenetrable. It was safe to say if caught, he would kill his targets with a punch. Sad thing was, he couldnt use his superpowers with other techniques even if he slapped people, the superpower would not work. Although that was unfortunate, he was still a deadly opponent. Miles was sure that Eddie was stronger than him when it came to the fist powers, but if he could catch him from behind, even Eddie would be punished.

Standing next to him was his girlfriend, Demi Orril, also known as, Demi-Goddess. She was Mihr Orrils cousin from his father's side. She was a renowned beauty in the capital and her fame wasnt any less when she went to the academy. Of course, her looks werent the source of her title but her powers. She had a unique power of Light Element, Holy Wings. Light elemental, holy wings, and supreme power mixed with her beauty earned her the moniker.

From what Matt told him, Miles learned that this couple brought the cup to the academy last year. Despite Marcela studying at Cross Academy at the time. Although Marcela was in the second year and the couple was in the first, so they havent really encountered each other in the competition, it was still a significant event for their records. Since Matt was a big admirer of Eddie and had a little crush on Demi, Miles learned quite a bit about them.

Certainly! The attendant smiled brightly as she showed the elevators. Dean booked the whole top floor, and you all have a room of your own. There is a gym on your floor and you can order anything from the AIs in the rooms. There are also Spa, Sauna, and other facilities on the floor, so enjoy your stay!

Thank you. Eddie too smiled and led the way. Miles and others followed behind and got into the giant elevator that automatically recognized them and took them to the top floor. Miles was standing at an inconspicuous corner when Coin alerted him.

Trouble.

At the lead was a well-dressed lean man but the look on his face was shock and fear. Who! Who! Who has done this? He was crying like a mad man, as he urged people behind him to help the students.

With all due respect, sir, but it is better if you stay away from us, Miles said coldly as he looked at the people who were about to help students.

You are all injured. We need to heal you. This is disastrous for my hotel! The man cried in desperation.

Wha Eddie was about to interrupt but Miles cut him off.

We dont need emergency treatment and we were targeted by the AI in your hotel. I am not saying it was you who planned this, but without confirming, I dont want anyone from this hotel to approach any of the students. Miles said without holding anything back. Students were at first surprised, but none of them said anything.

I heard a lot about you, Miles Cross. Eddie said with a smile, emphasizing the last name on purpose, I gotta say, your fame is not empty.

Your strength is above mine. Miles smiled back and nodded.

Maybe. But your quick wits saved us today. I will not forget this. Eddie looked seriously. His two arms were ruined and if he couldnt heal them, he couldnt perform 90 percent of his power in the competition. But he still chose to stop the elevator. This enough told Miles that he was a good person.
