Chapter 210: Synder is alive?!
[Calling the honorific name of a deity without its titles is as good as digging one's own grave, but your friend over here did it.] The system pointed out as it replayed the memory.
[For a member of the royal family, especially one as high in rank as him. It is almost impossible not to know this.]
'So, how is he still alive?' Blake asked.
[It could only mean 1 thing, he is a blessed of the fire God and that opens doors to a lot of possibilities.] the system said.
'Possibilities like what?' Hearing the system talk in a serious tone, he couldn't help but ask.
[Emperor Synder is still alive and is the lord of chaos and destruction, Synder.]
'What the fuck! Hold up Hold up.' For some reason, Blake couldn't completely process the info he just heard. 'I need a detailed explanation of what it means to be a blessed to this possibility.'
[When we get back to your room, first find an excuse for standing still and your expressions.] It was at that moment that Blake realized that his team was looking at him.
"Sorry, I was thinking about how useful artifacts were and how to get one." Blake lied through his teeth.
"Sometimes your expressions are like you are having a full-blown conversation with a voice in your head." Tessie said jokingly causing Brian and Castiel to look at him with widened eyes before going turning.
"Anyways congratulations guys, we won the exercise." Blake said changing the topic.
"More like you guys won the competition." Brian chuckled.
It was then that it dawned on Blake that he and Luciano had made a mistake.
This was the perfect opportunity for them to get a team experience but it had been wasted.
"I am so sorry guys, I put the points first before the experience." Blake sincerely apologized.
"What are you doing?" Castiel asked. "There is no need for you to apologize."
"Seriously, there isn't any need to. Who wouldn't prioritize the points, besides it was either the opponent was weak or strong." Brian said.
"The other teams were too weak and not worth our time. As for Damon's team, they were too strong because of the high-ranking members and if you guys were to reduce your strength their was a possibility they would have capitalized on it." Tessie gave a detailed analysis.
"No matter what you guys say, I will try to make up for the lost experience in one way or another."
Blake had thought of it and they were right, but he didn't feel right leaving it that way.
Unknown to him, The level of care he had shown to the team had further reinforced Luciano's decision to follow and help him.
"Time to announce the teams ranking and their rewards." Professor Gibson drew the attention of all the students.
"At third place is team 3 with 2500 points to every member of the team."
(AN: Owen's team was eliminated, that was how team 1 learned not to Block Blake's sword.)
"Team 1 in second place with 3500 points to every member f the team."
"And finally Team 7 in 1st place with 5000 points to every member of the team."
Professor Gibson announced, but that was when the other students began protesting.
"How can you call 2 people trashing another team a team exercise."
"Why how can the 2 of them be in the same team!"
Useless complaints began coming up causing Professor Gibson to frown. "Silence!"
In fear of incurring Gibson's wrath, the battleground instantly turned silent.
"At the beginning of the exercise, most of you thought Team 1 was the favorite to win even though they had more high-ranking members.
No one complained about it, but it was when you saw the 2 of them were way stronger than you thought, then you begin complaining.
It just shows you are terrified and threatened by their strength." Professor Gibson said.
"Secondly, for those saying it was a team exercise and the 2 soloed their way to victory, the answer is a very easy one.
Even when the most likely to win Team was no match for them, what was the need to involve their team?" Professor Gibson asked a question that shut the mouths of every hater.
With that said, Gibson warped out of the area and students began dispersing, but that was when someone approached them.
"Hi, I wanted to ask a question?"
When they turned and to their surprise it was Damon!
The team looked at each other before Blake nodded for him to go ahead.
"How are you guys so strong?" Damon asked with a lowered head and a swallowed pride.
He was waiting for a rejection especially from Luciano, but that was when Luciano spoke.
"I like you." Luciano said, shocking everyone including Damon because he hadn't expected that especially from him.
"I respect you for not attributing my strength to my background and for that I am willing to help you as long as he agrees." Luciano said pointing at Blake.
"I agree. You could join us in some of our training." Blake happily agreed because this will solve their problem of inexperience.
Others might see it as being crazy to train your close rival, but the 2 saw it differently.
Of course, they weren't to show him their secrets, but if he ended up defeating them with what he was taught then it was only a matter of time till it happened anyways.
After their victory meal, they scattered to their different rooms, because Blake had declared it a training-free day.
"Okay, let's continue from where we stopped." Blake said to the system after he was done freshening up.
[Starting with the blessed. A blessed could be described as a human who a god had taken interest in.
As long as they remain faithful, they receive blessings in the form of insights, additional strength, lessened chanting and the ability to draw more power from their artifacts than others.] the system explained.
