Glory to The Returning King Chapter 11
Reinhard lifted the bar as though it were a mere feather. His other hand remained tucked in his pocket.Diana was swept from fear to shock. The wimp had somehow saved her!Meanwhile, the middle-aged man stood, overwhelmed by what he had just witnessed.What Reinhard had done could only mean one thing…Reinhard tossed the bar into the air. He flicked it as it fell, and somehow, the steel bar landed with a muffled plod, without causing a dent."Oh my God, thank you!" Diana cried out.Even a haughty heiress could recognize when she was in the presence of a true expert.Reinhard barely glanced at her before returning to his table, silent.Her brash personality had almost led him to ignore her plight, but she had reminded him of someone. That was why he had saved her.Her irritation with his indifferent attitude grew, and she frowned.Before she could speak, the middle-aged man approached and saluted Reinhard."I didn't realize I was speaking to a true expert! My sincerest apolog

"That young man was one!"Gale pointed at the steel bar. "Do you know how much this weighs, and how much force it could generate if it plummeted from a height like this? It could crush a car!"If I were in his shoes, the best I could do would be to push you out of the way. There's no way I could brace it with my hand—let alone catch it!"My bones would shatter from the impact. I don't even want to imagine how my flesh would be torn!"Yet, he didn't just block it—he caught it. He then flipped it back to the ground without causing a single crack!"Do you know how much strength and control that requires? How much power alone?"Even I've only seen one or two people capable of something like that. They were the most powerful figures in the martial arts world!"Diana was stunned. "You're telling me… that guy is even more powerful than you?!""Please, plenty of people are stronger than your old man." Gale laughed. "I'm just some bloke lucky enough to have had an exceptional teacher wh

Gale turned in the direction Reinhard had left. "Sigmund Mars became a Great Master at 35 and has been unbeatable since. He was one of Harcnea's greatest warriors!"Diana was surprised. "'One of'? You mean there are more? He's not the only one?"Gale shook his head. "The world's too big to have just one at the very top. Even someone like Sigmund wouldn't call himself the number one expert. Despite his nickname, he once admitted that there was one man in Cophengrad he could never beat.""Oh my God. Who?!"Gale pronounced the name as though it were the greatest secret. "Richard Castell."She frowned, not recognizing it."That's his real name. But I bet you've heard of his nickname: the Behemoth."Diana froze, her eyes widening. "The same Behemoth who defeated six foreign fighters in one sweep?!"Gale nodded. "That's right.""Richard is more than just a martial arts genius—he's a world-shaking prodigy! The Castell family has always been rooted in martial arts, producing a genius

Hell, Diana dreamed of marrying Luther and basking in his reflected glory."Luther's only 17, and he's already become an Artisan. You can't imagine anyone else as the future leader of the Castell family."He and Edelweiss—the only daughter of the Lippe family—aren't called 'The Twin Stars of Cophengrad' for nothing. They're the most brilliant of their generation!"Gale sighed. "They said Richard had two sons, but the family banished the other one for unknown reasons after his Animus Circuit was damaged. Not even his name was ever revealed to the public."But then again, rumors say this other son is even more talented and prodigious than Luther!"His eyes glinted. "I thought the youngest Great Master could only be Luther or Edelweiss, but look at who we found today—a monster hiding among us."Those two cannot even compare to the sheer power that one demonstrated!"Sigmund became a Great Master at 35 and conquered countless battles ever since. The Mars family thrived under his mig

The young women were, indeed, Amelie and her best friend, Aria.Amelie narrowed her eyes, focusing intently before crying out, "It really is Reinhard!"She had barely slept the night before, consumed by thoughts of her lost opportunity to thank him.With no way to contact him—no phone number, no clue where he was—she had truly assumed she would never see him again."Hey, where did he go?"It was only a second—but Reinhard had already disappeared.Amelie ran in his direction, but she couldn't seem to locate him.-Class 12D had a new guest who quickly became the center of attention."Who is this hottie? I've never seen him before…""Which class is this cutie from? He's even hotter than our supposed dreamboats!"While the young women were intrigued and admiring, the young men were much more wary.Having just one dreamboat in their class had been difficult enough. Now they had to contend with another one, and this guy was even hotter?Reinhard ignored their attention and cont

Everyone at school might be impressed by Jake, thinking he was the epitome of "a guy who had it all," but to Reinhard, he was as ordinary as they come.Not even thousands of "Jakes" could compare to the value of a single Reinhard Castell!The young man leered at him and quietly backed away. 'Man, this fella sure has a serious case of Main Character Syndrome.'Even Harry and Rex would compare themselves to Jake and fall short.What was it with this transfer student who somehow thought he was above it all? On what grounds did Reinhard have to be so full of himself?Reinhard casually changed the subject. "I'm actually interested in someone else. You mentioned Clover, right?"Despite his growing ire, the young man turned and responded."Clover Lovelace?" He gave Reinhard a good-natured pat on the shoulder and laughed. "Damn, getting your priorities straight, newbie?"Reinhard nodded. He wasn't wrong to describe it that way.The young man said, "Clover is basically our school's ice

The class widened their eyes in disbelief."What the hell?!"Clover had always been the center of attention, no matter where she went. Admiration and adoration followed her like a shadow. Love letters and fresh bouquets were common offerings.And yet, she had never once responded to anyone's advances. Her lack of reaction or even reciprocal attention seemed deliberate—as though she were a goddess above the passions of mere mortals.Even Jake could only manage brief conversations with her. He never got to be physically close to her.And if he couldn't, nobody else could.What this transfer student did—the pat and the hair-twirling—was nothing short of blasphemy against the school's most revered symbol of purity!"How dare he?!""Bastard!"Clover's admirers were enraged. The rest of the crowd waited eagerly for the inevitable drama.Clover wouldn't tolerate such harassment, and Jake would surely give Reinhard at least a bloody nose if he found out!The only person in the class

All eyes were on Reinhard as he strode back to his seat."Yo, why didn't you tell me you two got history? She practically threw herself into your arms, man!" the young man from before exclaimed."You've officially made history today, bruh. You made The Ice Queen act like a girl next door in public!"Did you see Jake's face? Holy shit, he looks like he just got a positive on a pregnancy test!"Reinhard followed his gaze and saw a student standing at the door, his face stormy.The student met Reinhard's eyes with sheer belligerence.Reinhard dismissed him after a glance. A nobody like Jake didn't deserve even a moment of his attention."The name's Caspian Pent, bruh," the young man introduced himself with easy confidence.Reinhard smiled faintly. "Reinhard Castell."A while later, the homeroom teacher finally arrived."Everyone, today, we welcome a new student to our family," she announced as all eyes turned toward the back of the class.She smiled at Reinhard. "Well, I'm plea

"Well, since you're here… I suppose we can pay for your meal. Eat with us," she finished.Amelie had gotten so used to being an heiress that she could not help but default to acting haughty and superior."You saved our lives, Reinhard. So we owe you this. Come on, let's eat somewhere else," Aria added.Plenty of students from Luchenstad City High dining in the restaurant overheard the conversation and shot Reinhard looks of envy.Amelie and Aria were beauties, and the former was seen as equally gorgeous as Clover. Only the popular young men like Rex could be near them.They had never invited anyone to dine with them before. Reinhard was somehow the first!Just as everyone thought he would agree, he declined."Nope." He waved dismissively. "I saved you because you're Mrs. Skye's daughter. That's all."He then looked at Aria. "As for you? You were just there."The air gelled.Amelie and Aria froze. His response was outside their expectations.It just seemed so ridiculous—they

Lucas was bewildered. Reinhard had just lifted him with one hand!Reinhard stared into his eyes. "Time to do what you promised to do!"Lucas shrank back. He had agreed to Reinhard's terms because he hadn't thought he would lose.But now? He was thoroughly defeated, yet he didn't want to follow through on his promise.He could apologize, but slapping himself in public felt worse than death. He wanted to back out, but one look at Reinhard's face sent fear crawling through his mind.Those eyes looked like they came from hell.Lucas had never seen eyes like them before. He was sure that if he broke his word, this kid would turn into a demon.The sound of cheeks being slapped reverberated through the gym.The crowd was stunned—Lucas was actually doing it!"I'm sorry!" he cried out to Clover and the crowd as he slapped himself.When he finished, Reinhard released him and gave him a scornful look. "You're not pleased with this, are you? Fine. You want to challenge me again? I'll tel

Lucas' teammates laughed. They were all elite fighters, but Lucas was the best among them. Reinhard was nothing—or so they thought."Ready?" Reinhard asked.Lucas shrugged. "Do I need to get ready?"Reinhard put his right hand behind his back and attacked.Lucas' face turned pale. He saw a blur, and before he knew it, his chest was hit.The crowd heard a thud and saw him stagger several steps backward. He crashed into the wall, clutching his stomach in disbelief.He retched!He could no longer fight.The crowd was stunned.They had barely seen anything—and already, Lucas had lost."How dare you use a sneak attack!" yelled the Kravate team member who had fought Rex.He lunged at Reinhard with a punch.With one hand still behind his back, Reinhard easily dodged and tapped the man's abdomen with a light slap.The man screamed and flipped, landing sprawled on the floor.His teammates were enraged and rushed in all at once.In the blink of an eye, they were all on the floor,

The crowd gasped. They might have been glad to see Reinhard standing up to Lucas, but no one believed he could succeed where Jake and Rex had failed.Carrie snickered to herself. "Oh God, this guy is delusional. He's just asking for it!" Jake was the man of her dreams—irreplaceable and unsurpassable. If even he had lost, this idiot would have no chance."You're going to beat me up until I apologize?" Lucas leaned in scornfully. "Is it worth simping for a girl like that, dude? You really think you deserve to fight me?"He pointed at Rex and his team. "They couldn't match me. What makes you think you're different?"Clover looked worried. She grabbed Reinhard's arm and shook her head."Hey, we should back off. I wasn't hurt, right? We don't need to get on his bad side," she whispered.Reinhard smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he stepped closer to Lucas.Lucas shrugged. "Fine, I'll humor you. Gotta let the girl see how manly you are, right? If you beat me, I'll apologize—not jus

Many in the crowd—including the Art Club—wanted to catch her, but they were too far away!No one could reach her in time.The thought that their beautiful goddess was about to fall sent the crowd into a panic.Before Clover could even cry out, however, she felt a strong, firm arm catch her in midair. She snapped out of her shock and met Reinhard's handsome smile."Ryan!" she cried out, touched.It felt just like old times—whenever she was in trouble, her Ryan would always save her."Are you okay?" Reinhard asked with a gentle smile.He released her only once she was steady on her feet.Clover nodded and stood next to him, acting like a docile little wife."I'm bored. Let's leave this dump!" Lucas announced, not even realizing what had just happened to Clover.He simply waved at his team, beckoning them to leave with him.Jake slammed his fist on the floor in helpless frustration. The gap between them was too wide! Even if he had a rematch, he was sure he wouldn't last more t

Who else could that indifferent young man at the corner be?Amelie hadn't expected to see Reinhard watching the match.Aria noticed him too. "It's him! I knew I saw him by the gate this morning!"She met Amelie's gaze, and they exchanged a silent understanding. "Could he win if he goes up against Lucas?"Aria remembered clearly how skilled Reinhard had been against the armed thugs the day before.One of them had even knocked Rex out with a punch, but Reinhard had defeated them all in record time—one against four. He could win."I'm not sure, but I think even in the worst-case scenario, it would have to be a draw. It's just… he didn't look interested in challenging him at all!" Amelie replied, guilt rising in her chest again.Reinhard simply gazed ahead, unaware of the girls' presence.Amelie was right. Reinhard couldn't be bothered. To him, both sides were as good as pretend fighters. Who cared who won? He was just there to wait for Clover."Man, I thought I'd be learning some

The MMA Fight Club had been confident—they didn't expect to be defeated with a single kick.Jake's expression darkened.For the second round, Rex was chosen to fight.The Kravate team retained their first fighter to face him.Rex willed himself to stay focused. From that one kick, he could tell his opponent was strong. He would have to give it his all.He stepped into the ring and launched a flying kick.The Kravate fighter evaded it with two quick steps backward.Rex spun, preparing a follow-up backthrust. But his opponent suddenly struck the bend of his thigh with a sidekick.It felt as though his leg had been hit by a wrecking ball while he was mid-turn.Rex lost his balance and crashed to the ground. His head spun so violently, he could no longer continue the fight.The crowd was stunned.Amelie frowned. She hadn't expected the MMA Fight Club to be so pathetic."Fuck!" Jake cursed, leaping to his feet.The girls immediately cheered and clapped.The others could suck i

Carrie's retort was so fierce and sharp that it made Caspian shrink back.The others' attention shifted toward them. They disapproved of Reinhard's comments too.The match had barely started, and this edgelord was already spouting armchair prognoses. Talk about irritating.Reinhard, however, remained as cool as ever."Whatever I say or do has nothing to do with you. I don't need your commentary," he said, turning to her with a dismissive glance.He looked away and chuckled. "I was just stating my opinion. You could've ignored it. What's the point of arguing with me?"He wasn't interested in quarreling with a fangirl.But Carrie wasn't letting him off that easily."Aww, scared of an actual debate? It's not as fun when the person listening isn't a sheep, is it?" she taunted."How about a bet? If the MMA Fight Club gets completely defeated, I'll do whatever you ask—as long as it's within reason. But if even one of them wins, you lose, and you have to apologize to the MMA Fight Cl

Reinhard knowing Clover personally had already been a shock, but learning that he knew these other two girls as well? That had to be an exaggerated bluff, right?Reinhard was just a normal fellow from the countryside.Caspian knew Clover's background was similar, so it made sense for these two to know each other. But Amelie and Aria were wealthy heiresses from the city!"Yeah. We even had coffee together the other day!" Reinhard said matter-of-factly.Caspian, still in disbelief, let the conversation drop.Compared to the fanfare on the Luchenstad City High side, Jamerson High's section of the gym was quieter.A young man who appeared to be their leader smirked as he looked at Jake and his team.Jake took the mic. "Good afternoon, Luchenstad City High! We're honored to have the Kravate team from Jamerson High here to meet and spar with the MMA Fight Club. In the spirit of sportsmanship, we are all friends! Thank you for coming!"There will be three one-on-one duels. Your suppor
