Ch9 Academy 2
"What a way to start my day"
How can that dumbass think that I am weak, just by looking at my appearance? What if I am strong? Yeah yea, I am not. but what if I am?
You can never judge a book by its cover. U can never who you are messing with.
Thinking about some stuff I continued training.
Huff huff
After 3 hours of training. I feel satisfied. And no one bothered me after that. Although I got some serious stares from Henry, but I ignored him.
Still, a lot of people are working hard. Guess they really want to become strong. But what can they do sometimes hard work can not make them strong. Most of them gonna end up as D-rank or C-rank hunters or die at the demon's hands.
'Hard work wins against the talent'
What a load of bullshit! In many novels, they say that poor Mc gone do so much hard work to beat up or catch up to those geniuses. But all he has is plot armour and some luck and a lot of cheats.
Of course, hard work makes you stronger but they can't be compared to talent. Only in a thousand people only one or two can make it up with those talented people. What about remaining? They just gonna be forgotten or die.
Take me as an example I know I am not talented that's why I took some cheats from this world to make me strong. Of course, I should work hard. To be strong. But let's take the cheats out of the story can I become strong just with hard work?
No! Right.
Sometimes you just can't make it. Even if you try hundred times. That's how the reality is.
Ignoring all that I went straight to my room.
After I got freshened up. I have to go to the cafeteria quickly. It's gone be interesting today.
Why? Because they're going to be a small scenario at the cafeteria. Not about the mc though. It's about the second hero.
You see I said about all that hard work because of him. His name is Fred Grant. He is also going to start low. His rank is 435. But he is going to make it top 50 by the end of the first year.
Not just because of his hard work. He too has a 4-star manual. Which he got from some lucky encounter in the past. I don't know the details. Because It's not written in the novel. But I think he got that manual just before the Academy starts.
I am really excited.
I took my order from the counter and sat at an empty table. (yea, only free stuff)
Here he comes!
'Fred Grant'. He has brown hair and blue eyes. And has a handsome face. Not too handsome like our mc but handsome. He has a well-built body, not too muscular and also not too lean also. And he was at least 6 feet.
He is a spearman. And I think his rank is F+. Two minor ranks above me.
He took his order. And while coming back someone bumped into him.
'here comes the bully'.
"Yo, watch out man"
While wiping the food on him. Fred said to the bully.
But that's enough for the bully to pick a fight with you.
"you should watch out fool, it's your fault"
The bully said while shouting out loud. His 4 underlings started to surround Fred.
"if you want a fight you should have said so, bitch!"
Fred was no pushover. He highly believed in his skills. He never runs away from a fight.
"What did you just call me?"
Unable to contain his anger. The bully threw a punch at Fred.
Bang!
" I called you bitch! And that's what you are "
While looking at the fallen bully Fred said with a smile on his face.
The underlings backed away after seeing their leader who they thought highly about knocked out with a single punch.
This is what I am talking about you never know who you are messing with.
I did enjoy my favourite character being a badass. While stuffing the food in my mouth.
The Academy really didn't care about these small fights because the Academy still didn't start yet and students were unaware of the rules. Unless it's life-threatening they don't get involved for now.
In my case, the instructor was nearby so I can avoid the red flag. But there are no instructors here.
That's how the first scenario ended.
And this is the 'rise of the second mc'
Ahem.
Anyways, after finishing repeating my meal 3 times. I walked out of the cafeteria.
