Chapter 356 Arena challenge and records of Rio
"You ruined the whole event for everyone." Rebecca said looking at Rio who was busy eating his food.
Currently they were all sitting at a small restaurant which changed its scenery and themes according to seasons every 15 minutes.
Not just two of them, but on the large table were a lot of other students present too. Mostly the ones who played with them.
Becca had a look of annoyance on her face as she looked around and saw everyone in the restaurant looking at them trying to be sneaky.
A few first years were laughing and feeling proud over the fact that their class had defeated both third year and fourth year seniors openly. While others were still stressed and stuck over the 'accident' thinking the bullying now would be much worse.
Before waking up today, Becca had so many things planned for the day, so many places to visit, things to experience or memories to make, yet they all ended with Rio's impulsive fiasco.
The white haired panda had promised to follow her and accompany her throughout the day, yet she didn't even see him half the time.
If that wasn't bad enough, she along with everyone who played that game had to sit in the empty judgment hall and recount everything that happened in the game and answer dozens of weirdly stupid roundabout questions for a full many hours.
Wasting their precious time till the sun shifted from the early noon to late evening.
"It wasn't brother's fault, that fatty deserved it." Amy said in defense of her brother. "He used to call himself a monk, can you believe it? That guy was simply a big fat bully."
"Yeah, and your brother's a saint." Rebecca sneered and said sarcastically while looking at Rio, who just smiled back at her.
"I heard he was, in fact, quite an accomplished monk two years ago, who had practiced his silent zen to a high level, but it was your brother and his friends who broke his practice and ruined his career cultivation path." Amaya spoke up while looking at Amelia and then at Rio, who didn't respond or reply to clear his name.
Causing Amaya to suspect that the rumors were indeed really true.
During her little investigation, she heard that the fat monk was previously Rio and Bernhardt's roommate and they often bullied him for fun. Until 'Pandya' as they called him couldn't take it anymore and switched the room on his own.
She wanted to talk about this bullying point too, hoping to see Rio's reaction again, but Rebecca's words cut her off.
"What nonsense? That guy probably failed in his understanding and suffered a backlash on his own, and to hide his shame, he put the blame on others." She said, defending the same lazy panda herself this time, causing Amelia to chuckle slightly.
"Can you girls not talk badly about a dead man? It's bad manners." Valtor, who was silent all this time couldn't take it anymore and spoke up.
His words, silencing both Amaya and Becca to give up on their next thoughts.
"Let's talk about something else," Amy said excitedly, changing the topic.
"Like what?" Ayla, who was sitting beside her asked subtly.
"Those rooms should be expensive, like very expensive." Moksh said talking about the huge amount of Merit Points those services would require in Zenith.
"Yeah, I doubt anyone can even afford that many points." Valtor agrred too. He had heard of this challenge room at the guild, so he didn't doubt or ask questions about it, just talked about price.
"Well, we can all divide and share the points for now." Becca said instantly as if already prepared for the question. "Those points are only a little scarce now anyway, after the first semester, all rankers would get tons of them for free every month, so no need in saving them."
Her words sounded with the guarantee that all of them can secure a ranker's status, but among the people present here, who would refuse it and give up his pride so openly anyway.
[Ayla, who was about to raise her hand, however hissed and looked down to see Amy kicking her feet and telling her to stay silent.]
"And besides, these training rooms maintain a record list from the past, if we can break the previously set records, we can not only leave our names behind, but also get ten times the points we spent earlier.
So that's like a big win-win."
With that bomb, Becca finally finished her pitch and turned her attention to everyone. Already aware of their decision after seeing the shining stars in their eyes.
10 times the points, just imagining that amount made many students willing to take the risk. I mean even if they lost a few times, they'd at least get learning experience. But if they won, then with that many points they can use a whole lot of other academy resources freely, be it training rooms, rare exercises and skills, or special guidance from an advanced staff - they can get everything.
And so just like that, one by one all agreed to the proposal.
Once that was done, Becca turned her attention to Rio, who just looked at her and shook his head, while thinking 'I shouldn't have boasted about that to her..'
[[[ 3 days ago, when Becca defeated a batch of golems faster than him during a training class, and proudly announced that the day where she can beat him isn't far behind. Rio absentmindedly replied that half the records in this academy are in his name, good luck breaking all of them.]]]
—---- and so here we are —----
'Sigh, when did my serious princess heroine turn into such a scheming villain.' Rio thought, wondering about how she pulled all these pitiful souls into the arena challenge and how they'd all only be left penniless if they try to break his, Dahlia, Lisa and Bernhardt's team record set there.
Unaware of his thoughts and seeing him sighing, Becca just laughed heartily and puffed out her chest in pride, as for planning about the challenge arena, 'Well, how tough can it even be.'
Qingyue, already aware of her 'fall' after seeing the smirking expressions on Amy and Becca, had a sour look on her face. But since she already agreed, she didn't back out and added something else.
"We can't challenge the arena anytime soon. We'd need to prepare and improve our teamwork first, so we don't just throw our points for waste."
Her words made others nod their heads too. After all, it's good to prepare to win first, instead of jumping in blindly and making a fool of themselves on the first try.
"Sure, sure, as you say." Amy said with a chuckle, trying hard to control her laughter after seeing Qingyue's face morphing in anger.
'God, why are they so hateful?' Qingyue cursed this annoying duo in her heart again.
