Silence lingered in the air.
Apollo's smile turned awkward. With a sigh, the ten clones shimmered strangely before dissolving into puddles of water that splashed onto the ground.
"Did I pass?" Apollo asked the Instructor, who was staring at him with wide eyes.
"Do you want to join my martial school?" Master Popo asked, his voice serious and tinged with urgency. He glanced at the platform and noticed that Axton and Elmo were also eyeing the young man. "You will immediately become an Outer Circle Student with your own private yard."
Hearing this, Apollo was surprised by the exclamations from the Martial Students in the background. I only made the clones dance, why are they so amazed? Apollo thought, glancing at the students before staring at the Instructor, who was looking at him with burning eyes.
"Sorry, I can't," Apollo replied, shaking his head. Although he didn't know what the Outer Circle in their School was, he wasn't interested.
