(Theon's PoV)
This is my chance. My chance to show these pathetic fools that I stand above them. When they see my performance in the tournament, they'll see that the first semester results are a fluke.
Those noble brats would finally shut up. Ever since the break, they started to up their bullying routine. Once they may have seen me as first ranker until Klaus happened.
Even then, my name carried a bit of respect but now it dropped down. I can't let it drop anymore else. I shall reclaim my rightful place in the academy.
I'll become one of the ten who gets to enter the grand tournament next year and there I'll show my power to the entire world.
The only real challenges I would face are from third-year and fourth-year students. They are also the ones who would likely be the most competitors.
I need to plan this well. I can't lose my chance at greatness.
