Chapter 39: Unexpected Call Up

( The next day )

The next morning, both Rocky and Erin woke up with red eyes.

One look at each other's face and they understood that they had both suffered the same horrible fate of listening to Buhara's snoring all night long.

" Buha...Buha....buharararararara"

That orc literally snored his own name at night, making it extremely difficult for Rocky and Erin to sleep who were not accustomed to such sounds.

Not wishing to be a nuisance, they tolerated it all night long, however, the effects of sleep deprivation were visible on their faces the next morning. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"I wish I still had a refreshment potion. That would've helped" Rocky said, looking into Erin's eyes, as the latter reached into his belongings and brought out a vial of cheap grade refreshment potion.

" Here, I've bought this to prepare for examination nights, but I guess we can share one on this beautiful morning" Erin said as Rocky opened the vial and drank half, before passing it to Erin who drank the other half.

Although not as potent as the potion the system gave Rocky, it still helped him get over the fatigue and drowsiness, as he felt ready to tackle the day ahead.

( The grand orientation hall, UFNOYT )

Early in the morning, all the newly enrolled students gathered in the grand orientation hall, for the mandatory student orientation.

It was only today and the last day of University, which was graduation that all students mandatorily gathered under one hall, as one could witness the full strength of the batch.

" My motto is simple. I will beat you into the best version of yourself, even if you don't wish to become one yourself" He said, as Rocky had goosebumps run all over his spine when he heard the conviction with which the principal spoke such tricky words.

" The teachers here are top class, the best instructors, paid the highest salaries all across the tower, and they are all here for one reason and one reason only, which is to shape you all into the best version of yourself.

Regardless of what path you choose for yourself. The end goal is excellence.

Which is why we only admit excellent students and only graduate excellent students as well" He said with pride as a soft smile broke out on his face.

" Now. Before I carry on, I must say that amongst us today, are two distinct individuals who might think themselves to be a little more 'special' compared to the rest of us.....

These two individuals have made history by being the first two individuals to ever join the university on full scholarship, so let us welcome to the stage amongst thunderous applause.

The champion of Poseidon Sophia

And

The champion of Gemini Rocky" Liam said, as the entire university broke into thunderous applause.

Rocky, who had no idea why he was exposed like this, stayed rooted to his seat in complete silence, while Sophia stood up with an evident frown on her face.

Apparently, she did not expect this turn of events either.
