Chapter 126: Leaderboard! Who's at the top!?

Chapter 126

Alison did not notice the bewildered expressions on their faces and disappeared from her spot, only to reappear a moment later with a boy having messy hair and fog leaving his mouth.

It was Daniel, and he was unconscious, perhaps from the impact earlier that sent him out.

A vial appeared in Alison's hand carrying a strawberry-red liquid as she slowly poured the contents into Daniel's mouth.

"Cough..." he slowly woke up and looked around in confusion before looking at the person holding him.

His face paled as he looked at her with a look of horror. Just now, when he was thrown back by her, he landed among some strange vines that bit him in multiple places, making his vision blurry and his surroundings strange, and after that, he blacked out.

Only now did he wake up and realize those vines were definitely poisonous.

This was a terrifying woman... he didn't want to be held by her.

"Hey there, it's my fault for earlier, haha. I will give you a gift too... let's pretend nothing happened."

She put him down and patted his back as if nothing had happened, then took him to stand beside the others.

This time, he was subdued and did not speak much for fear of offending this woman again.

As for having a masculine teacher with big and strong muscles? He put that matter aside for now.

That's right, to her this was not an unexpected result unlike others who were predicting Bella to rank at top.

While others might not have thought or noticed, she did see it during his fight with Bella, her entire focus was on Oliver—more specifically his nonchalant expression during the whole fight.

It did not look to her that he was struggling a bit at all.

If anything, he had a calculating look in his eyes at that time, she had seen that sort of look many times so she was familiar with it. It was a look she often had when analyzing her tools or artifacts, determining their structure or use.

Perhaps this was also why she had been more interested in talking with him since the beginning. She could feel that he and her were similar to some degree.

Alphonso wanted to argue more but could not. He remembered what happened to Daniel and shut his mouth. He was having a hard time swallowing such humiliation for the first time ever. If he spoke more then he would only look like a loser having hard time accepting his position.

After everyone introduced themselves, the teacher nodded and pointed towards the house in the back.

"Since all of you are tired now, I will start the proper training from tomorrow. For now, all of you can choose a room on the first floor for yourself."

"As for Oliver and Daniel, I will prepare gifts for you boys later."

She said this as she left in a hurry.

"Well, fuck! She finally left!"

Daniel fell to his knees as he happily shouted. He was really relieved now.

"Damn, where did you even fly to?"

Oliver could not help but ask curiously, making Daniel shudder.

"I-I... forget it..."

He didn't elaborate and simply walked up to the huge mansion or dormitory for them.

"We should also quickly get ourselves a room too and rest."

Bella asked the others, and they too soon entered the house.

Oliver picked a room in the farthest corner possible to avoid being near any of them. The others saw this and did not intrude or take a room close to him.

It was basic courtesy that since the other party did not want to share too much space, they should not insist either.

They all had their pride to uphold as well.

The day was uneventful as all of them rested in their rooms and set up their belongings. The whole house had polished wooden flooring and looked quite simple and peaceful inside.
