”If there was a test, the instructor would have mentioned it.”
”You expect us to believe your lies and help you pieces of trash?”
The normal students had joined them in gathering helpers but all they got were derision and insults. Leon shook his head at this scene. If they knew it was a test, then would the test still have any meaning? But even if they heard the truth, they didn't believe. In the end, it was still all speculation on his part, and he could be wrong. he wouldn't force them, but he thought the chances of being wrong was very low. He was confident in his speculation.
”Forget it. We already did what we could.” Leon discouraged the rest from asking and to just focus on finishing their laps.
Three quarters of the awakened nobles had joined their cause and they were all from baron and viscount families. All the 3rd step awakeners from the earl and marquis families did not join them. They were arrogant and selfish to the extreme.
They continued their run with difficulty, but no one was left behind. Everyone was pushing themselves beyond their limit and they had become very united. They bonded and trust was established among their group. The selfish students that went ahead did not understand what happened to the leading students and ended up in the same situation as them, collapsing after overusing their strength and abilities.
18 laps… 26 laps… 33 laps… they continued completing their laps one after another, until their finally caught up to the leading student's lap. They were still collapse on the field and haven't been able to move a muscle.
”Please help.” Some started pleading for help, but the group just looked at them coldly and continue. They started feeling regret for their selfishness, while others just looked back at the group coldly. They were from marquis families, proud, arrogant and conceited. Even when there are down, their refuse to lower their heads and asked for help. Asking in this situation was just the same as asking to be humiliated. Edric, Adrian and Cayden were among the leading students that kept silent. They had a look that says, 'I will not ask for help but you will help me anyway'.
”Why should we help?”
”Why didn't you help us before when we asked?”
”You people got what you deserved.”
All sorts of derision were sent back at them for their earlier refusal.
”Stop everyone. We would be no different to them if we hit them when they are down.” A student stepped up to stop the crowd from continuing their ridicule and mockery. ”Let's just help them. It would be bad to leave anyone behind.”
”Hmm, you are right, Kent. We are different to them.”
”Take them with us. We will make sure everyone completes the exercise.” Kent Tucker said happily.
That student saw an opportunity to take up leadership and be the leader of the group. Leon was happy to see this. He didn't want to be in the limelight.
”What an opportunist.” Lynne pouted in a low voice only Leon could hear. Towards this comment, he just smiled. There would always be bad eggs mixed in a pot of good ones.
”Just let him be.”
Rachel's eyes flashed coldly, while Fatty Ben and Reece was silent by his side. They all felt uncomfortable with the turn of events. Leon was the natural leader in their hearts for starting everything. Why is that Kentucky whatever steal to his position.
They collapsed students were picked up and carried along as their continued running. Edric and his friends were also carried but he wasn't feeling grateful. He just thought it was natural that they help him because of his higher status.
37 laps… 40 laps… Just when the last person completed the last lap, Instructor Eugene's voice was heard in the distance, ”Time's up. You may rest for a while, before I announced some news.”
