Celestial Bloodline-Novel

Chapter 159 Kyle or Alec?

Inside the first-year training ground, a lot of students were panting while lying on the ground. Their breath was heavy and their clothes were untidy.

Professor Aliza's gaze swept through the students who were ejected from the dungeon. Some of them admitted defeat when they experienced too much pressure while some got injured.

After one more minute, some more students appeared inside the training ground. Their condition even worse than the previous students.

Professor Aster clicked his tongue when he saw the tired students.

'What a waste of resources.'

He took out a lot of vials filled with green color liquid from his storage ring and waved his hand. The vials started floating and stopped in front of the injured students.

The lying students grabbed the potions and hurriedly gulped down the contents. They sighed with relief when the healing potion started curing their injuries.

After calming down the students gazed at the ranking projection floating above their heads with expectations.

"OMG, I am ranked 45!"

One of them exclaimed with excitement when he saw his ranked improve compared to the last time they fought in the ranking assessment.

A few more students shouted with twinkling eyes when they saw themselves in a better rank than before.

One of the students with olive hair pointed at the top names with shock.

"Damn! Look at the top names their points are so high!"

"1_Alec= 2700

2_Kyle= 2700

3_Lara=2525

4_Carcel=2455

5_Mia=2350

6_Nine=2170

7_Lily=1850

8_Jake=1240

..."

"Everyone below the tenth rank got points lower than 1000 and after the twentieth rank the points are even lower!"

The bitter gaze of the other students lingered at the top names. All those who entered the Tower occupied the top ranking.

His friend sitting beside him scoffed. He patted the olive-haired boy's shoulder to increase his morale.

"It's normal! The lowest rank of those who entered the Tower is at least (D-)-Rank! Not like you and me who barely reached (E-)-Rank after spending six months studying and training."

The olive-haired boy looked at his friend with a sigh. He was just a little jealous.

After one minute, a familiar black-haired boy appeared inside the training ground. All the students turned around to look at him with respect and jealousy.

Jake clicked his tongue and slumped down on the ground with heavy breathing. His clothes were damped with sweat and dry blood. He thought he would be able to kill more monsters but when a few (E+)-Rank monsters attacked him together he got injured.

"Damn it!"

He cursed and slammed his fist on the ground when he saw his rank.

A familiar floating vial filled with green liquid appeared above his body.

Jake gazed at Professor Aster from the corner of his eyes and grabbed the vial with a sigh.

After him, Lily came out of the dungeon in a very bad situation. She wasn't even able to stand and her body slumped down on the ground before she fainted.

Professor Aliza gazed at her body and within a second she appeared beside her. She opened her mouth with her slender fingers and forced Lily to gulp down a high-grade healing potion.

After sensing her stabilizing breath Professor Aliza step back with a sigh.

Soon, a few more familiar faces appeared inside the training ground. Nine, Mia, and Carcel. Just like the others they also dropped on the ground.

Their condition wasn't good either but they weren't injured instead they admitted defeat when they knew they wouldn't be able to kill any more monsters.

Nine pinched his nose bridge and patted Carcel's shoulder with his tired hand.

"Look at the top two majestic names they are making me want to beat them up."

Carcel chuckled and slapped his hand away.

"You sure you won't get beaten up yourself?"

Nine glared at him and snickered.

"Your second spot is gone! What are you so happy about?"

Carcel looked at Kyle's name and then at Lara's name.

"The feeling of getting pushed down is very bitter. It's seemed I have been slacking recently I need to work harder."

He hummed and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Bia isn't present with Kyle. I wonder how he is advancing so fast. His speed is almost equivalent to Alec and his talent...."

His voice trailed off when he remembered Kyle's actual talent. In the eyes of the Professors and Vice Principal George Kyle only has (B)-Rank talent but he and the others who climbed the golden stairway with Kyle knew the truth.

The individuals from other Kingdoms were too focused on Bia which is why no one cared about Kyle's talent but the news would surely spread sooner or later.

'I don't think Alec, Mia, Lara, and Nine would tell anyone else. No one else from the Academy was present on that floor so maybe it will take some time before the Academy finds out about his true talent.'

He didn't know whether Kyle hid his actual talent purposely or it was a mistake from the Academy.

'Anyway, Kyle would tell the Professors when he is ready. It's better for me and the others to not interfere.'

Nine gazed at Carcel with a frown. He rubbed his hand that just got slapped by the latter.

'What was that? Why was he crying?'

His expression turned grim. His golden eyes shone for a second but he closed them instantly because it was too painful whenever he saw these strange yet true visions.

'Damn! If it's going to be so painful at least show me the whole scene not just a single image!'

He massaged his temples with a painful expression. Carcel gazed at him from the corner of his eyes.

"Are you alright?"

"I am fine just got a headache."

Professor Aliza looked at the students. Everyone was out except Alec, Lara, and Kyle.

After one more minute, Lara comes out while panting. She clenched her chest and dropped to her knees. Her left arm was bleeding heavily.

Even after trying her best, she wasn't able to defeat the Orc!

Aliza saw her condition and instantly gave her a high-grade healing potion.

"Only two students are left."

She said while looking at the ranking projection. The student's gaze was also on the projection.

"They have the same points. Who do you think will get the first spot?"

One of the students whispered and everyone started guessing who would come out from the dungeon first.

Kyle or Alec?
