The impact was explosive.
Not loud, but sharp, and the rock cracked cleanly. A fist-sized chunk broke away, larger and deeper than anything seen so far.
Gasps erupted from the crowd.
Even the instructors responded immediately.
"Mid to high-tier B rank. At least." Professor Kong Hu's eyes gleamed in pleasant surprise.
"He's already stabilizing at colonel-class strength."
"And with his temperament during the simulated assault earlier—he's made for command. Cool, efficient, precise."
"A future offensive general."
The praise was loud, clear, and well-earned.
Damien Bloodbane glanced at the six second years.
The Lin Triplets had extremely ugly looks on their faces. They could not believe that they were being overshadowed by everybody so far!
The Mu Triplets were surprisingly calm. They even looked kind of happy that there was actually someone stronger than them.
"They must be bored of being the best." Damien Bloodbane thought to himself. "It is that lonely at the top huh?"
