Chapter 553 Interesting Opponent
Rishi came out of the training hall. His expression was similar to the one when he entered it.
No one could tell by looking at him how his exam had gone.
He came out and stood at the corner, avoiding the crowd, thinking about something.
Time kept passing, but he didn't see Vinay anywhere. Soon it was his turn next.
However, no one came. The professor waited for a few seconds before she confirmed something.
The next moment, his number was skipped, and the exam continued.
Rishi was confused and didn't know where Vinay had gone.
In his mind, he was imagining many things. It was then that he felt the same feeling that he had an hour before.
This time, the depression was milder. He noticed the gaze in the sharp eyes of the girl he had met before.
He was not very social and never cared about his classmates. Because of that, he didn't know her.
But unlike him, others knew him very well.
The girl had a complicated expression that was hard to understand. It was as if she was unable to decide whether to approach him or not.
He could see a hint of curiosity in her eyes. Those silver eyes strangely felt very familiar to him.
Time kept passing, and he was thinking about her identity; he could take a guess.
She might be from the Rawat Clan too, he was sure. Since there were many girls, it appeared as if she had many friends.
They all looked to be girls with high status.
When they saw her staring at him, without even knowing it, he became part of their discussion.
Many of them peeked at him occasionally and laughed. This strange atmosphere was no fun.
This was one of the habits of girls he had noticed. They would keep peeking openly and then discuss something before laughing.
It was as if they were making fun of him.
Rishi was fed up listening to them and went to the other side, maintaining some distance from them.
Despite this, he was not angry at all; if it had been him before, he might have been annoyed and left the place.
Good for him. The results were announced soon.
Their mouths closed by themselves when they looked at the score. In the first place was the name Rishi.
It had appeared on the screens of their smartphones.
[Leaderrboard-First Round]
1.) Rishi Rawat (2000)
2.) Divya Rawat (1800)
3.) Mayank Shukla (1800)
4.) Bhuvan Gupta (1750)
5.) Risha Pant (1700)
While Rishi was way ahead of others, he didn't let it affect him; he was not arrogant.
He knew that in such battles, matchups also affected the result. The opponent he faced was a plant-type wild beast.
Other than that, he was also lucky that he managed to catch it off guard.
However, others didn't think like him. For him, he had again shown the levels.
Many of them knew what kind of monster he was when it came to one-on-one battles, but they still thought he might not have those strong contract beasts.
But this turned out to be their wishful thinking. From the score, it appeared as if his contract Beasts were also as strong as him.
Many students were disappointed. They thought this was their time to shine.
When looking at him, they were filled with hatred. He was indeed shining a little too brightly.
Like a flashing bulb, he made the lamps around him disappear and look useless.
Other than hatred and envy, he also noticed some students looking at him with their eyes filled with respect.
They looked at him as a role model, and they wanted to become like him.
The students got one day of rest before the second round. This was to make sure they were in their best condition for the next round.
Rishi didn't think much about it; he was focusing on finding information about Vinay, but it was all useless.
He was unable to find anything. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air. The only thing he got to know was that he had taken a leave for five days, one week before the exam.
The college was not allowing him, but he told them that it was very important, and he also promised to return in time to take the exam.
Rishi was a little worried thinking about what might have happened to him; Vinay was not someone weak.
He had Yakshini with him to guide him, and from what he could guess, he was trapped somewhere.
After not reaching any conclusion, Rishi decided to be patient. He would wait for Vinay's return.
The night passed by like this, and it was now time for the second round. Here, there were only eight students.
Rishi got the opportunity to fight rank eighth as an advantage of being first. He was a bulky guy with big hair.
It was his turn first. He entered the battle ring. There were spectators this time. All first-year students and some teachers were watching.
"It's Vikas against Rishi. This would be an interesting battle," said one of the students.
"Do you know Vikas? What is he like?" asked the student beside him.
"He is a lone warrior. He has raided many dungeons alone. He has even battled against some second years."
"But that's not the main thing. He is a member of the popular team 'Raged Bulls,' " he added.
"Oh, that's cool. I have heard they are quite popular. To be able to join that team, he can't be underestimated."
The bulky guy with brown eyes and black hair stepped into the battle ring. He walked slowly, and his eyes met with those of his opponent.
With each step, they came close.
The audience thought that they might have some hot discussion, but nothing of that sort happened.
Vikas and Rishi had a staring contest before Vikash's lips curled up. He brought his hand forward.
Rishi looked at him, confused about his motives. At last, he smiled and shook hands with him.
He could feel raw power coursing through the rough hands of his opponents. It was not that he was applying any pressure, but his natural physical strength was off the charts.
"I have heard a lot about you, Blue Skull. It's a pity that I can't duel with you." He sighed, "I guess I would have to be satisfied with the content of the contract, Beasts."
This was new for Rishi. No first-year student he had met had ever asked to fight a duel with him.
It was because of his reputation as a fearsome Blue Skull that they were afraid to challenge him.
However, this guy was different. He was respectful towards him, but not a trace of fear could be sensed from him.
Rishi nodded. "We can duel later if you want."
