Chapter 45 Her Strength
Chapter 45 Her Strength
Rufus' POV:
I was a little far away from Sylvia, so I couldn't see her expression. But I could imagine her current situation.
Before I could do something to her rescue, she threw another punch at the test rock.
And when the boulder shattered into pieces, both Richard and I stood up in shock.
"How... how can it be possible?" Richard exclaimed incredulously. He rubbed his eyes hard and then opened them. "It's really broken. Are you sure she is just a slave?"
His voice trailed off. Obviously, what we had witnessed just now was beyond his expectation. "We can't possibly break that boulder, let alone Sylvia." I analyzed what happened calmly and turned to look at the platform. "So the only possibility is that there is something wrong with it."
I looked around and found that most of the people from the audience were surprised, except Alina.
She looked flustered for a moment. The moment our eyes met, she quickly shifted her gaze.
I couldn't help but frown slightly. Something was wrong with her reaction. She looked guilty. But I didn't question her right away. The top priority now was to solve the problem in the exam first.
At this moment, the students below the platform were also shocked that Sylvia smashed the giant boulder into pieces. The crowd was in uproar and the situation gradually got out of control. Some werewolves even ran directly to the platform.
"Richard, don't you want to maintain the order here? Since you are the one in charge of the academy now, you should deal with the crisis right away instead of just watching the fun." Seeing Richard's indifferent look made me a little angry. I couldn't help reminding him of his identity coldly.
His face darkened at once. Although he was a little reluctant, he still stood up to appease everyone.
"Everyone, please calm down and listen to me."
The audience suddenly quieted down and looked at the grandstand.
I walked to the other side of the grandstand and stared at the petite figure on the platform. She was standing upright beside the boulder, looking lonely and pitiful. I thought she must be frightened. But I couldn't just run to her side because it would only make her become the talk of the town more.
"There must be something wrong with the boulder. I will have it replaced right away. Please be patient." Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"No wonder. It turns out that there is something wrong with the boulder."
"It's just too unbelievable that a slave like her is so powerful."
"So the boulder didn't respond earlier because there was something wrong with it? That makes sense. I actually felt that her first punch was not so weak after all." "Shut up! You didn't say that just now."
This episode calmed everyone down. And some students began to speak for Sylvia rationally.
After a while, a new boulder was placed on the platform.
Sylvia walked in front of it again. She seemed a little scared and didn't dare to throw a punch.
I pursed my lips, worrying about her. Although I really hoped that she could hide under my wings all the time, there were some things that she had to do on her own.
When the crowd started to discuss again, Sylvia made her move. The wind blew her hair, and a determined expression showed on her delicate face. At that moment, she was full of surging energy.
But unfortunately, it disappeared in the end.
However, everything went well. The moment her fist landed on the boulder, it burst out a dark red light, which was close to an excellent result.
I felt relieved, but my heart was still heavy. There must be something wrong with the first boulder. But the astonishing momentum of Sylvia's punch when she smashed the stone was definitely not something the daughter of a Beta could possess.
Richard must have noticed it too. The strength Sylvia exerted now was totally incomparable to the previous one. It only meant that the strength in her body was still unstable.
When I thought that her blood could soothe my curse, the seed of doubt in my heart grew bigger and bigger.
Sylvia's origin was certainly not that simple.
