Zero Vs Lyon

"Thank You!"

Zero made his way to the stage leaving Lyon speechless.

Other students near Lyon were equally stunned. 

'Thank You? For what? For challenging you.'

The students could not comprehend what just happened.

They expected a badass confrontation between the two of the strongest students.

They hoped for cool lines like, 'I will be waiting for you at the finals' or 'Your strength is merely a fraction of what I possess' but instead they get a thank you from Zero.

It would have been totally okay with them even if Zero got angry at Lyon's provocation. Strong people don't like being challenged. 

They think that the challengers are not convinced of their strength and therefore are challenging them.

"Puah… Pahahaha…"

The student near Lyon laughed loudly as he could not hold back his laughter anymore. He was Lyon's friend and the third ranker, Toby.

"Haha… I didn't expect that kind of reply from him…"

Toby said as he continued laughing.

"But he seems like a nice guy."
