Chapter 50: Seeing Alex is Like an Ant Gazing at the Heavens!
Arcane Martial Academy.
Lance stepped out of his VR capsule, looking dazed and lost.
As someone who reached Tier 1, Rank 8 within ten days of school starting and possessed a powerful S-Rank ability, he had always been unrivaled among his peers.
But today, facing Alex, he had no power to fight back.
Gideon Lance (Lance's uncle and Dean of the Spear Dept) saw his nephew looking like a lost soul and frowned.
"Lance? What's wrong? Did you meet a tough opponent?"
Lance nodded slowly. "Yes, Uncle. I won the first 19 matches easily. But in the last one... I met someone named Alex. I lost miserably... I failed your teachings..."
Hearing the name "Alex," Gideon froze for a few seconds.
"Who did you say?"
"Alex. Why, Uncle?"
"Is he a Darkness user? Tall, handsome, looks like he doesn't care about anything?"
"Yes... Do you know him?" Lance was confused.
Gideon let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head.
