The next morning.
It was an ordinary Friday for New York City.
However, for the mutants, that day was an extremely important day.
The annual Sparring Exchange of the mutants would be held that day.
Each organization had three spots.
New York City's No.1 Middle School, the Church, Demon Hunter Union, Association of Mages, Cannon Master Association.
There were a total of fifteen outstanding young disciples from these five organizations that would be sparring that day.
The winner would receive a prize from each of the five organizations.
The reward provided by the Demon Hunter Union was a Demon Search Token.
Although this Demon Search Token wasn't particularly special, it was still a very useful treasure.
With the Demon Search Token in hand, an alarm would sound immediately if there was any demon within a thousand meters.
No matter how strong this demon was or how he hid himself, he would definitely be discovered.
The prize offered by the church was the Heartguard Pill.
No matter how serious one's injuries were, as long as he was still breathing, swallowing this pill would immediately heal his injuries.
The prize offered by the Association of Mages was the cloak of invisibility.
As the name suggested, wearing this cloak would make one completely invisible.
However, the disadvantage was that he could only hide his body and not his aura.
The Cannon Master Association gave Magic Pistol as the reward.
This Magic Pistol was very special and did not require any ammunition.
The user could inject their own spiritual force and shoot out spiritual force bullets.
It was extremely harmful to both demons and humans.
As for how powerful it was, it would depend on the wielder's strength.
This year, it was New York City's No. 1 Middle School's turn to host this exchange.
Therefore, the prize offered by the school this year was the most precious among the five organizations.
It was the ticket to "Mystic Realm"!
The so-called Mystic Realm was a very suitable place for mutants to train themselves.
This place did not exist in this realm, but in another mysterious space!
Every year, only two people could enter the Mystic Realm. Every time the Mystic Realm opened, it would cost a huge price.
Thus, this entrance ticket to the secret realm could be said to be an extremely precious reward that couldn't be bought with money.
This year, every organization was well prepared.
They all wanted to obtain the entrance ticket to this Mystic Realm.
…
At the resting area.
When Betta came with Cretius, the others were already there.
Everyone focused their attention on the last disciple.
"This guy is a new face."
"Why is he still carrying a cat?"
"One look and I can tell that he's not a powerful character."
The other organizations immediately started discussing.
Betta ignored them.
He had sensed it before coming in.
None of the fourteen people here exceeded the Green-Grade.
To him, this was a piece of cake.
However, someone caught Betta's attention.
Lilia was actually here.
Moreover, she was in the team of the Association of Mages.
Betta looked at Lilia in confusion, but Lilia avoided his eyes and did not look at Betta.
Obviously, she still cared about what happened between Betta and her mother.
Betta sighed and silently walked to the team of the No. 1 Middle School in New York City.
There was a new face in this team.
It was Annie, who had learned Spiritual Array from the former principal, Infiniti.
Betta was not surprised to see Annie.
Previously, she had displayed her Orange-Grade strength as a new student, which could already prove her talent.
Furthermore, she had learned some array formations from the old principal.
It was natural for her to attend such an exchange.
Annie was slightly surprised to see Betta.
"Betta? Why are you here?"
"Me? The headmaster asked me to attend the exchange."
"Headmaster?"
Annie looked at the principal.
At this moment, the principal was sitting with the headmaster. He had obviously noticed Betta's arrival.
"Why is he here?"
Principal Infiniti turned to the headmaster and frowned slightly.
The headmaster asked in puzzlement.
"You know him?"
Both of them were stunned.
Initially, the headmaster did not tell the principal whom he had recommended.
It was to give the principal a surprise.
After all, to be able to form a contract with a Demon Lord at such a young age, he was an extremely rare genius.
Who knew that the principal knew this kid.
The principal was very puzzled.
Betta had left a deep impression on him.
If other students were accepted as disciples by the principal, they would definitely study hard, afraid that they would not work hard enough.
Who knew that Betta did not take his teaching seriously at all and even found a random reason to sleep?
The principal did not like this kind of brat.
Even if he had the strength of a Yellow-Grade, he would not have any great achievements in the future.
However, since he was the candidate recommended by the headmaster, the principal could not say anything nasty.
If he directly said that Betta was bad, wouldn't he be saying that the headmaster didn't have good judgment?
This was too offensive.
"Forget it. Just take it that there are only two candidates participating in this year's exchange."
The principal tried to convince himself.
…
"Hi, I'm Kirk."
The third person who represented New York's No. 1 Middle School walked out and smiled at Betta.
Betta also nodded slightly.
"Hello, my name is Betta."
Then, Kirk said very naturally.
"This exchange will determine the victor through individual battles and team battles."
"Just do your best in the individual battles."
"During the team battle, focus on supporting me."
"For this year's exchange, New York City's No. 1 Middle School will definitely win."
His words were impassioned.
Annie's eyes lit up with excitement as she nodded vigorously.
Betta squinted.
What was with this kid?
You want me to support him?
What a joke.
Betta sneered.
"There's no need. During the team battle, just stand there and don't move."
"Just watch my performance."
With that, he found a seat and closed his eyes to rest.
That left Kirk and Annie standing awkwardly where they were, not knowing what to say.
Kirk couldn't help but ask Annie.
"Do you know him?"
Annie hesitated, then nodded slightly.
"This person's name is Betta. He had trained with me with the principal previously."
When he heard this, Kirk was slightly alarmed.
Betta had actually learned from the principal. Wouldn't that mean that he was quite impressive?
However, Annie continued.
"But he was chased away by the principal within an hour."
At this moment, Kirk was completely stunned.
He only learned for an hour?
Before he was chased away?
What was going on?
