Philip shrugged at Horton’s meaningless rage. He did not care about the bald guy’s age. As Horton was about to teach Philip a lesson, all the teaching assistants returned to their positions. They asked everyone to return to their seats. No one dared to mess around and quickly did so. Philip and the others stood aside, unfazed. An old man appeared on the field, and he looked exactly like a short gnome. Many people wanted to laugh, but they knew that only a big shot would appear here, so it was better to respect him. “Dear students, I’m your supervisor. To help everyone get used to this academy as soon as possible, we have decided to adopt some common university standards, including the division of classes and the titles of teachers and officers, all of which you should be familiar with.” The gnome kept talking, and many people soon became sleepy. They were not interested in the common standards of other universities, but since the Practitioner Academy adopted that meth
The academy was still in the starting stage, so certain things were not in order. Philip was not concerned about the academy’s future development. He just wanted to find Mr. Hobart as soon as possible. “Young Patriarch, why don't we ask the supervisor later? Although he’s not very strong, his position still means something. We should get some clues by asking him.” Montel wanted to ask the supervisor, but Clementine stopped him. “Are you stupid? That gnome is obviously up to no good. Messing with him is asking for trouble.” Clementine disliked the gnome very much. He kept looking at the women while he was talking, and his gaze made them uncomfortable. “Can't you see that he looks a lot like Horton? They must be family. People like them can probably make your life worse than death,” Philip said with a smile. Everyone smiled thoughtfully. No wonder the gnome looked familiar. They realized it with Philip’s reminder. After the assembly, everyone returned to their assigned
The night passed quickly, and everyone gathered at the field early the next morning. Everyone looked at each other drowsily, obviously not fully awake yet. Even Class 1 was no exception. Most of them were office workers or students, and no one was used to getting up at five in the morning. As everyone kept yawning, Horton’s mind raced. They would be allocated to different classrooms today, and he wanted to take this opportunity to crush Philip. Horton approached Philip. He had a height of 1.6 meters but a courage that did not match. “You guys haven't withdrawn from school yet? But then again, you’re considered quite good in your class. As number one…” Before Horton could finish speaking, a punch hit his face. The punch was full of energy and sent Horton flying. Everyone was dumbfounded. Only Montel and Clementine smiled calmly. They knew about the plan and were not surprised at all. Instead, they felt that Philip did not hit hard enough. “That punch is too wea
Although they hated Horton, everyone knew that he was not to be trifled with. Many people also noticed the similarities between Horton and the supervisor. Maybe they were related. With that realization, fewer people were willing to get involved. Horton challenged Philip. He could not wait any longer. He wanted Philip dead at once! Of course, Philip would not refuse his request. Killing Horton was not a big deal to him. After the two applied for the death match, everyone voluntarily cleared a huge space for them. Montel and Clementine watched the excitement in the crowd and kept a lookout for Arthur Hobart. They had seen Arthur’s photo and knew what he looked like. Although he was old, they could never forget his energetic appearance. The fight between Philip and Horton was about to start. He stared at Horton amicably without any nervousness. Horton looked at Philip triumphantly with a hint of disdain. He had learned two martial arts skills from his uncle. Althou
Horton never dreamed that his legs would be frozen into icicles. “What the hell?” Horton tried to move his legs, but they were no longer under his control. The chill was spreading rapidly. His calves turned into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye. “What did you do to me?!” Horton exclaimed in horror. He never thought he would ever encounter this. According to his plan, he should be killing Philip next, but things took a shocking turn. Not only did he fail to crush Philip, but he was also frozen on the spot by the latter. “What level are you? You can’t be in the first zone! You must've concealed your strength right from the beginning!” Horton screamed in terror. He wanted to call for help, hoping that his uncle would save him. However, his uncle had not appeared yet, and the onlookers were unlikely to get involved in this matter. The two of them had applied for a death match, so they had to compete fairly and justly. No one could help. Anyone who interfered wo
Philip sneered. Sure enough, he had to cause trouble to attract attention. It would probably take him ages to find Mr. Hobart otherwise. The management quickly arrived. They were not very strong and were probably temporary placements. The academy’s security guards also hurried over, all experts in the fourth zone. Philip was surprised that the academy could recruit so many practitioners to work for them. He wondered what made the dean so amazing. Everyone arrived quickly and surrounded Philip. The most arrogant person among them was the security captain. He walked up to Philip with a disdainful smile. He was a powerful practitioner while these students were trash newbies. “Did you kill someone just now?” He was very arrogant and wanted to use Philip to spread his reputation. After all, he was very strong, but the academy merely gave him the position of security captain, which disrespected him. He could not accept being a security captain. He wanted a better po
Everyone knew that newcomers had a one-week safety period, but this incident happened on the second day of school! “That guy was so arrogant because he was a family member of the supervisor. Since he wanted to sign a death match, who am I to refuse?” Philip said uncannily. A hint of understanding flashed across everyone’s faces. They knew that the supervisor had a family member in Class 1, but no one thought he would mess around so soon. The supervisor who looked like a gnome arrived at the scene quickly. He looked at Philip in shocked disbelief. No one expected that a loser who had just started practicing could actually kill a genius. Moreover, Horton was in the second zone. How could he be killed so easily? “Damn it.” Before he could say anything, someone pulled up the surveillance records. Soon, everything came to light, and the gnome could not say another word. “After our verification, Philip is indeed innocent. I hereby declare that the death match is valid a
The management team wanted to gather everyone to make an important announcement. Resolving Philip's dispute was just something done out of convenience. After the management team left, Security Captain Johnson stood in front of Philip in a weird posture, which everyone found strange. “What’s wrong with the security captain?” “Who knows? I thought he was going to deal with Philip, but he's just standing there motionless. Is he frozen too?” “Can someone sneak an attack on Johnson? Just look at him. He's an expert in the fourth zone, while most of us are just in the first zone!” “Besides, even if we can kill someone beyond our level like Philip, it's impossible for the first zone to fight against the fourth zone!” Everyone muttered and walked past Johnson. Johnson heard everyone's discussion and wanted to call for help but could not move no matter what. For some reason, when he took action just now, he felt like he was trapped and rendered immobile. However, no one did
