Wave Champion

"I am sorry for my rude behavior!"

Those words echoed through the entire auditorium, and everybody heard them clearly.

The one most surprised by those words was the beautiful girl. It was normal for men to lust over her. Even when they did their best to hide it, she always knew it.

Of course, once they faced the girl's cold and indomitable aura, they would shrink and remain silent.

Some would apologize when caught, but they always did it in secrecy away from the eyes of the public, and even then, it was clear they had a hidden agenda.

Never before had she encountered someone like Cain who would apologize in public and whose words were full of sincerity. There was no hidden meaning, nor was he trying to get closer to her through them.

He sincerely regretted his rude behavior and immediately apologized.

A wisp of interest appeared in the girl's eyes as she saw how Cain straightened his body and turned around.

Cain apologized to the woman because he was sure being stared at like a piece of meat must have been aggravating. His father always told him that a true man recognized his mistakes and did his best to fix them.

After returning to his seat, Cain felt that the eyes of everybody remained in him, and he allowed some of his bloodline's wildness to emerge.

"What the fuck are you looking at!?"

Those imposing words and Cain's savagery made most cadets look away.

Of course, some powerful scions remained focused on him, like Zamir, but Cain did not back down.

"Hahahaha!" A burst of laughter broke the tense atmosphere in the auditorium, and everybody saw how Levi stood up from his seat and approached Cain.

"Is this seat taken?"

Cain was slightly surprised by Levi's actions, but since there was no reason to say no, he just shook his head.

Levi sat down and stretched his hand toward Cain, to which this one responded, and they shook them. The duo seemed about to speak when something that drew surprise in the entire auditorium happened.

The duo felt how the cadets' gazes focused on them, but after a moment, they saw it was actually on the beautiful girl that had just sat at Cain's left.

She did not say a word and just sat there, completely ignoring the stares of the rest of the cadets. However, she did look at Cain and Levi after a moment.

"What, do you two have a problem with me sitting here?"

Cain and Levi immediately shook their heads. They had no reason to reject her. It was just that they were surprised since they had never spoken before and were sure that the actions of the first had offended her.

Before any more chatter or commotion could happen in the auditorium, everybody saw a skinny middle-aged man approach the podium. As soon as he did, a giant virtual screen appeared above him.

Cain's eyes narrowed as he saw that middle-aged man. He could feel an immense power inside that skinny body, much greater than his.

"My name is Wink, and I will be your teacher for Wave Mastery. I will start with some basics and explain the main difference between those that follow the Astral Rebirth Path of Power and the Essence Evolution Path of Power."

Wink had just finished speaking when a noble youth began to shout.

"What do you think you are doing? We all took private lessons before coming here and learned about the basics. What is the point of wasting time on them!?"

Many other cadets surrounded the scion that shouted, and there was a smug smile on his face. Clearly, he wanted to draw attention, but things didn't go as he expected.

Wink did not show anger, nor did he raise his voice. He only lifted a finger and aimed at the scion.

"AHHHHH!" The scion began to cry the next second, as a bloody hole appeared on his shoulder.

Terror, shock, and awe appeared in the eyes of all the cadets as they saw that, or more accurately, they did not see it.

None of the cadets saw the attack. Their eyes only perceived Wink pointing at the scion's shoulder before a bloody hole appeared in it. Their hearts grew cold as they imagined what would have happened if the middle-aged man had pointed at the youth's head.

Cain was equally shocked as the other cadets, but he saw how Levi and the cold beauty by his side reacted differently.

Levi saw the curiosity in Cain's eyes and sent a message through his A.I. Chip.

[User Levi Inferno wants to establish a communication channel. Does Vessel accept?]

Cain immediately accepted, and the next second, he heard Levi's voice in his mind through the [A.I. Chip Module].

"For someone to accurately teach Wave Warriors about Wave Mastery, that person could not be in the same rank."

Although Levi did not say the words, Cain understood their meaning, and a solemn expression appeared on his face as he stared at Wink.

That skinny middle-aged man was a monster that could live for hundreds of years and tear down Old World's skyscrapers with his bare hands.

The reason no one saw that attack was simple. It moved faster than sound. If that middle-aged man wanted, he could kill anyone here with a wave of his hand.

'¡A Wave Champion!'
