"Dammit, are those guys sitting on their asses?" Nerou was walking through the corridor, refreshing his phone trying to see if his ranking were updated.
They were in a room large luxurious room, which was now occupied with other students that were admitted into the sky academy.
But the students were catching up on the latest gossip and news among themselves.
"Did he really beat the record, going lower than Uneo I don't see how that will happen"
"Anyone from one of the 1st Families will always be destined for greatness, but I wonder his exact time."
"I heard him say something about 6mins"
"His hand isn't even broken… I don't think it's 6 minutes, he probably broke the record by some seconds''
"Idiot! his fleshy body is strong enough to fight against Thai Sung, it's not surprising at all"
The students debated about Nerou who was the hot topic at the moment. They were excited to see what time he would get and the video that would be released.
They all anticipated it because having the highest time on Thai Sung Fury was the biggest flex when getting in the Sky Academy, for someone from the 1st family it was just bragging rights but for someone from the humble background you could get a lot of resources and attention as a teacher.
Ting... Ting... Ting…
The whole room got the same notification, Nerou's eyes flashed with didn't waste any time making clicking on the notification. He was ready to see his name at the top.
He looked at the time and laughed "hahaha… I did it faster than 6 minutes, he shouted at the top of his voice"
While he was basking in the light he looked at Mia whose face was shocked, she looked at the video of a boy their age and she knew that this was not him, the person in the picture was not getting hit by the robot at all, sure he was getting overpowered but that was almost normal for everyone.
"Why is your face like that? You really didn't think I would beat your sister huh?" Nerou laughed aloud then said, "If I used my superpowers I could have melted him in a second!".
Nerou continued to laugh but soon he realized he was the only one laughing, no one else would be making a sound, he was waiting on them to make noise and the other students.
Mia didn't say anything "What the hell are you!".
The words caught in his throat when he looked at Mia and saw the video she was watching caught his attention. The movement made him feel drawn towards it, he too watches the video in silence.
The dodging he watched was something that he had never seen before, He unconsciously forgot to blink, he was immersed in the dodging techniques. He secretly was hoping he was able to learn something from it.
The dodging wasn't aimless but subtle movements in his feet that allowed him to dodge the whole attack, All of them were near misses. It was all like a stunt performer who looked like he was courting death but it turned to entertainment and shock.
It looks like a dangerous thing that made you think...Can I do it?
As they were immersed in the fighting they gasped like a story that had a plot twist, when they saw that when Joey swung a left hook and matched Thai Sung strength their mouths went slack their jaws? Nonexistent.
There was a lot of question that Nerou wanted to ask but he would always be shut down by Mia, watching the hand-to-hand combat was impeccable the movement the form, the power, the dexterity.
They watched the fight like it was pay-per-view, their hearts fell out their mouth when they saw the robot started sparking. THen not long after strong right slammed his head in the other direction, they watched the robot short circuit and lose power."
They watched the boy their age flash out of the room and left the view of the camera.
They stared blankly at the screen after it finished as a result of concentration, the classroom was silent for a while minute before they were able to talk.
"Mia, who the hell was that guy, Is he our age?" Nerou asked he wanted to know if he was their age because if he was, he could kiss the title for the fastest time.
"I don't know he his name is… KidNotorious" Mia said.
"You expect me to believe that someone with that kind of name beat my score? Is this Gotham city?" He clenched his death looking at the game rankings on the Forum with bloodshot eyes, the veins in his head were about to pop when Mia shouted.
"Wait!, this is the Thai Sung Fury is at this Midpoint Base.. do you think" Mia shouted Nerou's eyes widened understanding.
They both rushed out of the student room for Sky Academy and ran back down to the gym.
As they left, the class was finally able to talk freely.
"Who the hell is this guy!"
"Kid notorious will die if Janroes finds him, Janroes had been attempting this for months"
"Is that what your thinking about? He beat fucking Thai Sung Fury... Literally!"
"Doesn't matter how you look at it, this guy is a genius... no one ever said you had to dodge Thai Sung Fury you just need to see how long you last"
"That means we can beat it too!"
"Dick for brains! do you think everyone can pound the head of a 900kg (1,984lbs) combat programmed robot?"
The boy's face went gloomy, fighting the Thai Sung Fury seemed like a death which no one dared to do without a superpower, but he was programmed with remarkable striking.
Getting hit by something like that would guarantee months in the hospital.
