Gasping for breath, Ael struggled to steady himself, his knees buckling as he landed heavily on one.
"W-what just happened?" he mumbled.
But in the next instant, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his left cheek, and Ael slowly moved his hand toward that spot, his hand trembling as he moved.
As soon as his hand felt the now swollen left cheek, a surreal feeling completely engulfed Ael.
It was a feeling he had felt before in his life, but it had never been this intense before - complete and utter disbelief.
Did he just get… slapped?
On his cheek?
This was something Ael found hard, very hard to grapple with. No matter how much he thought about it, he just couldn't comprehend it, and he wasn't alone.
Su Lin and Gwen's jaws dropped to the ground. They were also shocked but they regained their sanity quickly.
Meanwhile, Ael just caressed his cheeks with a grumble.
Did he, the number one ranked genius get slapped?
