88 Chapter 36: Groups (1/2)

”um... excuse me, I think something's wrong on my side.” I casually said while interrupting her in the process

The attention of the 9 who were stood up including the lady, turned to me

”Y-You... you can't feel it?” She asked

I Cast deprehendre and let my mana perception take over my instincts. Now that she had mentioned it, I could feel a large amount of magic power emanating from her, really large

… I knew I should have acted like I was struggling...

”Ah... I'm feeling it now...” I muttered

I doubt this will work against her, but there's nothing wrong with trying

”It's too late for that now, what's your name” She said with a cold tone behind her

The whole crowd's attention had been turned to me

”U-Um, It's been 5 seconds...” said one of the guys on their knees

”Did I give you permission to speak?”

The instant she had said that, light particles covered his body and he was teleported, at the same time another 2 were teleported and everyone's struggles seem to have grown stronger

I took that opportunity to act like it was starting to affect me to

I started to pant as sweat flowed down my face as my feet trembled. The reason for that was because I turned off body reinforcement and cast 5x gravity on me

This seems like it would be a good way to train

Nonetheless I seemed like I was deeply struggling, so much that it didn't feel possible to fake

”What's your name?!” She asked ignoring my display of struggle in front of her

”J-John! Ma'am!” I shouted as I bowed my head

The pressure of the gravity and not being able to reinforce my body was starting to get to me, it hasn't even been a minute and my legs felt numb

I've been doing a 10km run everyday but it doesn't look like it'll be enough

”You may all rest” She said after hearing my name

The moment she did, a relieved look was formed on everyones face as they sat down on the ground. Including victor they all needed to take a breather

I quickly did the same and deactivated gravitas, I dropped to the ground with sweat all over my shirt

The lady looked at me and then walked in between the two groups

”You may now fight your group. The rules are simple, attack only the ones in your group, last one standing wins. Furthermore, those who have managed to stay on their feet will already be given the reward of going to the B Class. Are there any questions?” She asked

”Will there be separate rewards for the number of badges an individual has collected?” Victor asked

”I was about to get to that. The number of badges you have now is the final count, the top 5 highest will be taken to the alpha class.”
