If Zane Valois's battle with David was a prequel, then his battle with Lori Camp, the 85th-ranked second year, was the main movie. The news of the battle spread with astonishing speed. It spread quickly through all the freshman groups and forums, moving swiftly to the second year.
There were about three hundred second-year students, so for Zane to beat Lori, it means that he is already stronger than a third of the second years. It was a firm slap to everyone who was talking about him. As for how he did it, nobody knew. Some said that he had a specialized illusionist sniper class; others said that he had used some kind of potion. The process did not matter anymore.
He had won fair and square, and to further polish his credentials, the rumors that the two people he fought, both Lori and David, had been rushed to the psychiatric ward of the clinic.
Among the freshmen, Zane's friends had been the first to receive word.
