Chapter 142: Collecting Information

Sebastian Caceres indeed posted the challenge on the forum.

However, instigating his admirers and fans to join in wasn’t her idea.

She only hinted it, and Sebastian Caceres took the initiative, indicating that he had already contemplated it by himself.

"By the way, Sebastian, did she mention when it’s starting?" Ximena Quinones gathered her thoughts and asked again.

"Three days from now," Sebastian Caceres replied, and already looking forward to the arrival of those three days.

"Three days seems a bit long. What if something unexpected happens?" Ximena Quinones expressed some concern.

Sebastian Caceres shrugged it off, "Three days might be a bit lengthy. I’m not sure what she’s planning, but within this timeframe, nothing significant can happen. Do you think that just in three days, she can transform from the rubbish of class 9 to match my talents in a competition? Impossible."

Ximena Quinones didn’t quite believe that either, but she felt a twitch in her eyelid.

"I wish it could happen sooner, but the decision isn’t up to me."

Heavenly Path University had an unwritten rule: the challenger had no authority to choose the match time.

Sebastian Caceres hoped for tomorrow, but he couldn’t break this rule.

The mere act of challenging class 9 had already stirred up controversy.

Even if he had the moral high ground now, too many rule-breaking incidents would alienate people from supporting him.

Having just completed one semester at university, he didn’t want this incident to jeopardize his plans for the years ahead.

Little did he know, his life’s trajectory changed the moment he listened to Ximena Quinones’s instigation and posted the challenge to Amalia.

After Amalia posted the acceptance of the challenge, she spent an hour teaching class 9.

She covered weak points in the human body and tactics for combat, everything that can be taught has been taught, and she doesn’t know the rest.

She had no idea that in the minds of Mighel Zepeda and his peers, the few techniques she taught were more than enough for a lifetime.

Ever since learning those techniques, they found their instructors’ teachings was too soft and some movements were overly flashy.

It was nothing compared to what "Amalia" had taught them.

"This week’s first teaching session won’t focus on attack techniques. After all, our class is from the weaponry departement, and we need to learn about the artifacts again in the end."

Coincidentally, Amalia was also very proficient in artifacts.

Moreover, as an artificer, her understanding about artifacts was more comprehensive compared to a spirit cultivators.

She had a thorough understanding across various attributes, not just limited to one type of artifact.

The students in class 9 had no idea that the "mentor" they had acquired for five million was actually an all-rounded master.

"This week, I’ll teach you how to effectively use amulet and the corresponding methods for using various attribute-based artifacts."

Different people have different attributes, and an hour was a bit tight to cover everything, so Amalia extended the time and ended up teaching for over two hours.

"Amalia, for the next two classes this week, are you not going to teach?" Mighel Zepeda who was pushed as their spokesperson, cursed the others in his mind and asking cautiously while his shoulders hunched.

"Who said that? I’ll be teaching as usual," Amalia was unaware of their thoughts.

"But you just taught for over two hours in this class. Initially, it was agreed to have one-hour sessions," Mighel Zepeda suppressed his excitement, not understanding why Amalia suddenly changed her mind.

In an instant, Amalia understood and casually dropped a line: "The extra time in this session is a bonus." Then she left.

Immediately, the whole class erupted in cheers.

They didn’t mind this beneficial class at all.

They couldn’t afford to miss even a single opportunity.

Now that they had an extra session, they cherished it.

Not long after Amalia left, the corridor outside class 9 suddenly became lively.

Students who usually didn’t come to their side noticeably increased.

Many peeked into the classroom, as if looking for someone.

Some were discreet while others were overt.

It was evident to everyone that they were looking for someone—the person who is challenged by Sebastian Caceres—to see her appearance and if they matched the descriptions in the post, especially if they were really beautiful as some people had claimed.

This was the opinion of a minority—only a few were concerned about appearances, while more people were standing up for Sebastian Caceres.

Mighel Zepeda and Elena Sandoval exchanged a glance, sharing an implicit understanding, and with a sinister smirk, they left the classroom and approached those few girls.

"What do you want?" The girls said these words, but their faces showed no trace of fear.

They still looked down on Mighel Zepeda and his group, considering them nothing more than a bunch of useless students from class 9.

"Not much, just wanted to have a little sparring with you," Elena Sandoval sneered while flexed her wrist, and extending her claws toward them.

They had been insulted as useless, right? Fine. Let’s show everyone how these so-called useless ones could beat them into a pulp.

"Just you guys?" The leading girl displayed a disdainful and contemptuous expression.

She was both an admirer and a die-hard fan of Sebastian Caceres.

She was among the most aggressive ones in the forum posts yesterday, and itching to beat up the students from class 9.

"Someone like you, I could take on two of you effortlessly."

"Is that so? Then take this ’Gorilla Fist’ from me!" Elena Sandoval said as she unexpectedly struck the girl’s face.

"Ow!" The girl was caught off guard, and took a hit in her nose, wincing in pain.

Before she could react, Elena Sandoval’s punches rained down like hailstones.

The girl had no chance to retaliate and had to call for help from her companions.

"What are you waiting for? Help me, quick!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, her companions cried out even more miserably than him, one after another.

"For the first lesson in Amalia’s teachings: Never give your opponent a chance to strike back. Strike first and avoid retaliation."

After this incident, class 9 gained a bit of recognition.

Other classes finally realized that the class 9 they had always looked down upon seemed to have become stronger, and unexpectedly displaying a fighting prowess that was different from the past.

Most notably, they seemed to enjoy hitting people’s faces.

Every opponent they faced ended up with a bruised and swollen face.

However, most people felt that it was because the people from other classes has lesser number compared to people from class 1, so they lost were justified, and the waters quickly settled down after the initial splashes.

Only a few people present witnessed how swiftly and precisely class 9 had acted.

Since the agreed duel with Sebastian Caceres was set for three days later, Amalia had to prepare early.

Sebastian Caceres is Xylia Lazaro’s enemy, and he is happy to provide Amalia with all Sebastian Caceres’s information, even his weaknesses.

The person who knows you best is often your enemy.

In order to defeat Sebastian Caceres, Xylia Lazaro had researched Sebastian Caceres to defeat him but ended up inadvertently benefiting Amalia before getting a chance to face him.

Sebastian Caceres has a wind-type spiritual veins, and capable of controlling wind for defense or offense.

In early stage, it was weak like water-type spiritual veins, but once you mastered the correct usage of wind, it could become a potent force.

At this stage, Sebastian Caceres couldn’t yet employ advanced level wind-type spiritual art, but with the assistance of artifacts, he could unleash more attack moves.

"Sebastian Caceres’s artifact is a Dragon Bone Whip. It’s said to be made from the spine bones of deep-sea dragonfish, with barbs that, if you get caught, it could potentially tear the skin off. As he has wind-type spiritual veins, he can freely manipulate the direction of the Dragon Bone Whip, making him a formidable opponent." Xylia Lazaro wished for Amalia’s victory and didn’t hold back any information.

These details about Sebastian Caceres’s abilities and his artifact were shared with her in the hope that Amalia would win.

"By the way, even though he’s truly despicable, and I despise him too, please don’t beat him to death during the match. His mentor, Fabio Caceres, is not someone to mess with. As the saying goes, ’Like mentor, like disciple.’ Sebastian Caceres’s self-righteous character is said to be influenced by his mentor as well."

"Are they relatives?" Amalia asked.

Xylia Lazaro chuckled, "Everyone assumes they’re related, but they’re not actually. It’s just a coincidence they had the same surname. Now you understand why Fabio Caceres favors Sebastian Caceres so much. He sees it as destiny and not only favors him but also indulges his disciple a lot."

"Thank you for the information," Amalia felt grateful to him despite Xylia Lazaro being the one who offer to share the infromation first.
