Just as predicted, the commotion about Alex, the top student of the first years being in the battle royale took over the academy.
It became the focus of everyone's discussions. From their walks with friends in and out of the academy ground to when they sat in diners and cafeterias for their meals. It was the talk of the day.
"Yo, have you heard what's going on?" A first-year student from one of the lower classes asked his colleagues as they made their way back from the combat systems.
"Are you referring to Alexander Gray taking part in the battle royale?"
"Exactly, what's your take on that?"
His question made his friends stop briefly to think about it. "I'm not going to lie; I was surprised when I heard that." One of them said as they resumed walking.
"Apparently, despite his strength, his level is still at the low tier of Class F."
