Chapter 46- Top 10
Daniel's power shocked everyone, but others didn't want to be left behind and decided to attack with all their might.
Boom!
The stage's temperature immediately changed as the floor suddenly turned into ice. Dave and Rose were unaffected as Dave created a barrier.
This level of power was not a problem for him, but it might be for Rose, as this attack could freeze someone at Peak-tier King level.
Some students immediately became ice statues. The referee quickly took them away to save their lives.
Many looked at the source of the attack. They saw a white-haired woman with blue eyes, the same height as Rose, and very beautiful.
Many recognized her as one of the 4th-year students who participated in the competition when she was in her 3rd year.
Her power was at Peak-tier King, but she was emitting a tyrannical coldness.
Despite her beauty, she was known for hating men. She was the daughter of Count Isaac, but they didn't have a good relationship, as her father killed her mother out of jealousy.
Since then, she had harbored a strong hatred for men and never interacted with anyone.
She was known as the "Ice Princess" throughout the academy for her proficiency in using ice powers. She froze many participants and didn't even care about others.
Dave examined her and checked her status.

DESCRIPTION: Irritated
========
Sandy's strength is impressive, and she might be on par with Rose. Dave considered adding her to his harem later, as he enjoyed conquering cold beauties.
Sandy, irritated with the men on the stage, suddenly felt something unusual.
She noticed that Dave was smiling at her, completely unaffected by her power.
Stunned, she found his smile captivating, creating a different feeling within her despite her strong aversion to men.
Although Sandy disliked men, it didn't mean she always attacked them, recognizing that not all could be provoked.
She usually regarded men with disgust, especially when they greedily stared at her body.
To avoid distraction during fights, she quickly looked away from such instances, but Dave seemed different.
Realizing that Dave was not as simple as he appeared, Sandy acknowledged that being the son of the guardian, the number one talent of his era, carried its weight.
Despite her formidable ice powers, she was confident in freezing someone at the peak-tier King level, yet Dave remained unfazed.
...…
After Sandy and Daniel showcased their powers, many others also displayed their abilities.
A 4th-year bald student, standing at a towering height of 3 meters, revealed muscles filled with power.
He possessed the unique ability to transform into a bear, doubling his strength and defense.
His brown skin, adorned with scars, gave him an intimidating appearance.
This peak-tier king was Rocky, hailing from the Earl's family, inheriting this power from his ancestors.
Rocky, though physically formidable, was simple-minded with a low IQ, preferring brute force over strategic thinking to resolve matters.
Another notable participant was Leo, a 3rd-year student skilled in using spears, achieving top-tier king status.
Leo managed to defeat some 4th-year students. Standing at 160 centimeters with short black hair, he was Rocky's cousin.
The 2nd-year and 1st-year students were all eliminated except for Dave and Rose, falling prey to the superior strength of the 3rd and 4th-year students.
Dave and Rose observed without participating, as no one dared to attack them, knowing that their parents would likely punish anyone who antagonized the princess and the son of the guardian.
Dave and Rose, despite their inaction, secured spots in the top 10.
After 30 minutes, the final 10 contestants emerged: Dave, Rose, Sandy, Daniel, Rocky, Leo, Gerald, Cris, Henry, and Nicole.
The last four were all 4th-year students, each possessing peak-tier king status and classmates of Daniel.
Each member displayed unique strengths. Gerald wielded fire, Cris excelled in assassination with a penchant for stealth in black attire, Henry controlled thunder, and Nicole specialized in hypnotizing her enemies.
With the top 10 decided, Principal Julius congratulated them, saying, "Ahem, congratulations on making it this far. You will represent our academy, so give your best efforts to win and enjoy the upcoming competition scheduled for one week later."
"The competition will be held in the Royal Arena near the Royal Castle, so do your best to prepare and strengthen yourselves."
After saying this, he waved his hands and disappeared into the crowd. The audience erupted in applause, and Dave continued to receive notifications.
The events were exciting yet a bit bizarre, given Dave's unique circumstances.
He hadn't had a chance to showcase his powers, winning without fighting and entering the top 10 effortlessly.
It was the first time such a thing had happened, but no one dared to voice complaints, knowing the potential consequences.
..............
[Ding! You gained Sin Points]
Pride + 400
Envy + 1,000
Wrath + 4,000
............
Dave was stunned, finding it challenging to accumulate sin points for pride, sloth, and gluttony.
He wasn't sure about obtaining sloth and gluttony sin points, but he speculated scenarios involving being attacked by a monster or getting lazy when an enemy approached for those categories.
Despite the disappointment from the crowd, Dave planned to evolve that night and assess his gains. Holding Rose's hand, they descended from the stage together.
Many looked at them with a mix of admiration and envy, but the men couldn't help but curse silently as they witnessed Dave kissing the princess and then holding another woman, Susan, in his arms, who also kissed him in front of the public crowd.
"Fvck!"
The men in the crowd felt a pang of bitterness in their hearts, but they could only attribute it to their own appearance. If they looked as good as Dave, they would undoubtedly use it to attract beautiful women as well.
