Cain showed a radiant smile as he saw his mark. Combining the boy's skill with his Astral Wave allowed his speed to reach Middle Level 5, granting him the N°1 position!
Silence reigned among the pillars as all the cadets and soldiers stared at Cain with awe. Many of the ones that achieved one of the top 3 positions in the Cadet Ranking did it because their bloodlines and techniques specialized in one aspect.
Those like Earth Fiend that did it in more than one were legends that had reached high levels in the military and positions of great power. None among them had outrageous and yet balanced power like Cain, taking the second spot in both the Pillar of Strength and Pillar of Resilience while securing the N°1 in the Pillar of Speed!
Their shock only grew stronger as they saw Cain moving to the Pillar of Destruction and adopting a meditative position next to this one.
