Hate is a better teacher. Many might argue differently, but in this context, hate has proven advantageous.
In the Eastern region, 90% of the awakened taking the Academy trial hated Klaus—and they still do. Some were angry because of the humiliation he had put them through. This was especially true for people like Omari, Miguel, and Lawrence.
Some, however, hated him because of the possibility their girlfriends might leave them for him. Although the women around Klaus were considered some of the best in the region, they were still wary.
Just an image of Klaus was enough to win the heart of Lucy, a top beauty, so their worries were justified. They indeed had reason to be concerned.
However, this concern turned into hate, and many thrived on it. They all wanted to bridge the gap between them and Klaus somehow. So they began training like animals.
