Just like that, their teacher, Erina, finally arrived with a man following her behind. The man was none other than Commander Zenith. The students beca excited in an instant with the arrival of the two. What does this an? The rewards are finally here!
"Hahaha! Finally! What do you think did the governnt send to us? I hope there are useful items or even Sun-Moon pills to help break through the Awakening Realm! I don't want to beco an ordinary person for my entire life."
"Shut up! Can't you see that Commander Zenith has nothing on him? Didn't you realize it? What if the rewards aren't here?"
"Bastard! Don't be so negative! The governnt won't fail when it cos to matters like this. After all, it's directly related to their reputation. Still, no matter how valuable the tis are sent here. If our level of performance isn't sufficient. We won't actually be able to get sothing useful."
The words of the last student to comnt poured a basin of cold water, to the excitent of everyone. Right! They rembered that they could only choose items that were proportional to their performance.
In the Beast Tide, most of them were in the eight lines of the formation. They only took care of the fish that slipped the net. Would that be enough for them to choose sothing good?
"Well, no matter. As long as I can choose a good weapon..."
The students sighed, one after another, and bitterly accepted the reality and lowered their expectations.
Fatty nudged Caleb beside him with his shoulders with an envious expression. "Adam, you had a good performance during the Beast Tide. I think you'll be able to get sothing good. Everyone, and even Commander Zenith, saw your performance. Even Professor Zhuge had applied for your sake an early graduation..."
"Indeed. I'm already confident about my performance, but I don't think it was as good as Adam's. He's just built different." i sighed wistfully, then gave Caleb a sour look. "Still, I didn't expect you to be pig pig-eating tiger. A wolf in a sheep's clothing. Why do you hide your strength? If not for the beast tide... We won't even be able to know that you're already the strongest in this school."
Fatty nodded in agreent at this ti. "I don't know how he can bear the disdain everyone gives him. How can he let everyone underestimate him when he has such a powerful strength? If I'm as powerful as him. I would slap everyone who dares to provoke ."
"I can't just be bothered with the opinions of those ahmmm... Weaker than ."
Caleb chuckled as he saw the bad look i and Fatty were giving him after he said such an arrogant sentence. "And no, I'm not pertaining to you guys."
"I'm going! You have such high confidence that it dazzles !" Fatty slapped his thigh.
"Well, anyone with such talent and strength would certainly have a domineering attitude. But I think that Adam is more subtle when it cos to it. Doesn't care about the opinions of those weaker than ? Cool!"
Shawn, who was passing by, chid in with a grin.
'It's really becoming lively around ...' Caleb smiled as he saw the three interact with each other. As for his words, he doesn't care about the opinions of the weaker than him.
Well, that's bullshit. He believes that everyone, fools, weak, poor, has sothing to offer. He's always open-minded and welcos ideas coming from other people. They may be weaker, stronger, poorer, or stupid... Anyone has unique knowledge and certain talent in so kind of area that he doesn't have. He just said such a sentence to them so they could stop pestering him.
"Ahem..."
Zenith cleared his throat. As he saw the students turn their heads at him. He bead a smile of satisfaction. He still has a good impression of the students in front of him. They not only bravely fought and helped defend the city. They are also sensible.
Then he looked at the fourteen vacant seats and felt pain, grief, sadness... However, imdiately suppressed the negative emotions before they could sprout.
"I know. A lot of your classmates died, so it's not appropriate to put on a celebration. However, I think that your classmates who died are heroes. Everyone here can be considered to be the heroes of the city."
Everyone looked at each other.
I looked at you; you looked at .
They don't know how to react for a while. Yes, they are sad about the deaths of their classmates. But that isn't the ti for that! Give the rewards already! They've already gone past the early grieving stage for their classmates! However, being called heroes by an Extraordinary Genetic Warrior still made them feel proud.
Erina stepped forward at this mont. "Well, Zenith here will be the one that will give the rewards. You will line up one by one based on the student numbers as usual."
"You can see the black storage ring on one of his fingers, right?"
The students nodded like a chicken pecking rice as they eagerly stared at the small black ring on Commander Zenith's left hand, index finger.
"Cool! That ring is the advanced black technology storage space! It was said that the cheapest storage space costs up to a hundred thousand pesos, yet those can only store what an ordinary backpack can store. Yet, those that cost a hundred million can even store objects as big as a truck!"
"To have a storage ring. Being a commander in the military and an Extraordinary Genetic Warrior at the sa ti is really profitable. I wonder how the commander earns annually."
"Damn it! I also want to have a storage ring! I'll get one soday once I beco a powerful genetic warrior!"
'Storage space? Using space technology?' At this mont, even Caleb couldn't calm down. His breathing slowed down a little, and he looked at the black ring intently. That is the legendary storage ring that he only reads on Sci-Fi and Xian Xia Novels!
Seeing it up close personally had checked one of his goals on his bucket list! There's no doubt that if he reveals his transcendent strength to the Philippines Governnt. They might curry favor with him and offer him all kinds of advanced black technology, such as a storage ring!

At this mont, Caleb was tempted to do so. However, he suppressed his thoughts imdiately. There's no need to rush things! Technologies are just external factors. He shall not be too attached to them. After all, personal strength is what still matters at the end of the day for him! It was internal. He can bring his personal strength and it is more reliable than depending on external factors such as Technology or Artifacts.
He wasn't averse to using them. In fact, he would be glad to. But he shall remind himself always and not stray on the path. Personal Strength is what is truly yours! External Factors are more like borrowed powers. They are tools as such they shall be used as tools! But not beco overly reliant on them!
