Their appearance has become more frequent in the canteen; they are noticed not because of their appearance but because of their massive appetite. They might not have the largest appetite in the entire academy, but Leon is one of the only humans that eats that much.
Most humans use some sort of cultivation technique in order to grow stronger. They absorb a unique energy from the Realm of the Thousand World to fuel their strength and quench their hunger; they call it being pure.
Those who are strong do not need to eat even for an entire year; if they did, it would only increase their genetic enhancement.
Meanwhile, Leon and Aranold do not care or even notice the stares directed at the four of them. Carefree and her friend Marionette join, and the way they eat can be considered barbaric and even beastly.
"Little girl, did your mother not tell you to eat your greens?" Leon suddenly says, seeing that Marionette is only eating meat just like the other two.
She stops and looks downward. "I know that I do not look like a proper lady eating this way."
He cuts her before she can say anything more. "Hey, I did not say anything like that! I am only worried that you only eat meat and no greens."
"You are worried about her? Is your mind okay?" asks his friend.
He then gasps and says, "Do not tell me that you have fallen in love with her!?"
He slaps his friend's head. "What the hell are you thinking about!? Do I look like some kind of child lover in your eyes!?"
"Well, she is technically not a child, and considering those big assets, I do not think that anyone will mistake her for a child; you are the only person who calls her that," he confidently states.
"Hmph! If not for the fact that you have changed, I would have punched you for calling me a child numerous times!" Seeing that he is truly not insulting her eating habits, she regains her usual mood, raises her tiny arms, and puts on a pouting expression.
"You should thank your friend; the only reason we added you to our group is because of her; besides, your punches no longer scare me." He smirks as he clenches his fist, and his aura quickly erupts.
The two girls were shocked by his sudden power. Aranold laughs slightly. "Our teacher has just evaluated our strength; she says that as long as this idiot continues to improve, it will not be long when he reaches the same level as those top rankers!"
"Those are some big words from a talking lizard!" Suddenly an obnoxious voice appears. The four turn their heads towards the source of the voice, and they see four beings looking at Aranold and Leon with disdain.
"Bxstards from XZ14!" roars Aranold as he tries to stand up and confront them, but Leon stops him. He calmly takes a piece of cow leg and stares at the group with a bored expression.
"Oh? Scared?" mocks a being with four arms.
"Who is this clown? Are you entertaining us by showing your freaky appearance?" He takes a coin from his pocket; it was one of the secular objects that he brought. He considers it his lucky coin, but right now he is going to use it for another purpose.
He throws the coin near the feet of the four. "Why don't you keep entertaining us? Who would refuse a dinner and a show?"
Hearing this, Aranold was stunned. He then laughed out loud. The expressions of the four became ugly, and the two girls at their table giggled.
"You weakling!" Roars the four arms, he charges at him, his eyes light up. He knows that attacking in this location is considered a heavy offence, and the academy's law officers are definitely going to punish this guy heavily.
"Marlo, wait!" Shouts the leader. His hair then moves and binds the four armed individuals. His fist is extremely close to Leon's face, but the latter only smiles at it.
He stands up and pats the head of the four-armed guy. "That was a great show! Why don't you continue performing? I might not have an extra coin for you, but I can pay in points."
The eyes of the four-armed individual bulge; he roars and stretches his hand towards Leon, but unfortunately for him, his teammate locks him in his position; he is unable to move.
"What are you guys doing!? Help me restrain him! This bxstard is using this to harm our group! The Law Department!" He screams out loud the last words.
The other two quickly helped him restrain their four armed teammates; knowing that staying here would only bring them disadvantage, they hurriedly left.
Before leaving, the long-haired guy says, "It seems that your mouth has become more eloquent, but this does not change your fate; we will beat you guys in front of the entire academy next month!"
Aranold only raises his hand and shows his middle finger; he learned this gesture from his good buddy; he likes using them already.
"That was great!" shouts Marionette. Leon only shakes his head; he grabs the coin that he had thrown and continues eating.
'Next month, huh? I wonder how strong I will be after an entire month of training.' He muses.
The next few days, both Aranold and Leon's schedules become monotonous: complete missions, go to the canteen, spar with the triclops, eat, sleep, and repeat.
This might be considered monotonous, but it was not for Aranold and Leon. The former fights a different opponent every other day or so, and the latter spends most of his time trying to learn more things about his current world while at the same time recording the beings that he has massaged.
Two weeks pass by.
Inside the XZ15 room, Leon, the triclops, and Aranold are fighting a three-way battle; actually, the latter two seem to be working slightly to counter the former.
BAM! Leon punches the triclops; his punch is tricky, making the latter fail to block it; it hits accurately in the chest.
