Villain With The Strongest System - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: The mad principal
Sophia did not like being called out like this by the principal, this was totally out of her expectations.

Initially she wanted to pretend not knowing who the Champion of Gemini was as unlike her Rocky had not come forward, however, now because of the principal she could no longer use that excuse.

‘ The champion of Gemini? Since when did Gemini choose champions?’

‘ I’ve never heard of a Champion of Gemini, this has to be the first one ever!’

‘ The Gemini brothers are the strongest! I can’t believe we are in the same batch as their Champion!’

‘ Two champions in one batch? Isn’t this too much?’

‘ But who is the Champion of Gemini? What race does he belong to? Who is Rocky?’

‘ Don’t the Gemini brothers have a feud with the Olympians? This should be fun’

Chatter broke out amongst the crowd, as the shocking revelation of the Champion of Gemini also being in their midst made the conversations amongst students turn spicy.

Buhara and Erin stared at Rocky with eyes wide open, as while the crowd did not know anyone named Rocky, they did, however, never in their wildest dreams could they have imagined that their roommate would turn out to be the champion of one of the strongest tower gods.

‘Take a deep breath Rocky, calm down’ Rocky said to himself as he calmly stood up and started walking towards the stage with the indifference of a superior being.

Not once did he pause to take a look at the crowd around him.

Not once did he pay attention to the chatter of those he passed by.

With an indifferent gaze that seemed befitting of a champion, he strode towards the stage with confidence.

Internally, Rocky was a mess.

Having experienced the fanaticism of Earthlings already, Rocky wanted to stay anonymous in the university for as long as possible.

He knew it was impossible to stay anonymous forever, however, he did not think he would be exposed like this before the semester ever began.

Nonetheless, he did not let his doubts reflect on his face as he climbed the stage and stood before the principal, who gazed straight into Rocky’s eyes with indifference.

“Come stand here” he said as he gestured for Rocky and Sophia to stand in front of him, facing the crowd.

As the two stepped before the principal as instructed, they formally made eye- contact for the first time ever, as both stared into each other’s eyes with gazes full of pride.

*CHEEERS*

The crowd went nuts, when Rocky stared into Sophia’s eyes, as some began chanting the name ‘Poseidon’ while the others chanted ‘Gemini’.

Unlike the first time when Rocky looked into Sophia’s eyes, this time he did not find them to be beautiful as he looked into them with nothing but animosity and indifference.

If she was a collaborator in kidnapping his sister, Rocky would personally make her pay, if she was not, Rocky would still never prefer to be on friendly terms with her.

Sophia too, did not show any signs of kindness towards Rocky, as she knew that being fake here would ruin her future chances of entrapping Rocky, as she too gazed back into his eyes with the same intensity without backing down.

*Whistles*

Apart from the religious supporters, some began to whistle and ship the two as a couple as the orientation took a completely different turn that nobody had expected.

“Exciting isn’t it?” Principal Liam said with an amiable smile as he stepped between the two champions and put his arms behind both their backs.

” To be around champions of gods! To be around warrior’s that may define our era?

I’m sure many of you might be thinking…

Let’s make friends with Rocky or Sophia, become part of their inner circle and glory would surely follow us for the rest of our lives!

I don’t blame you, I can see these thoughts plastered on many of your faces and I understand it’s natural.

Afterall…. Who doesn’t like fame

Who doesn’t like supporting envoys of gods? ” Liam said as he once again held the attention of the crowd on the palm of his fingers.

” I’m sure Professor Derek here must be ecstatic about these two entrants, seeing how he personally sponsored their tuition. Providing them with full scholarships!

I don’t blame him for it either, afterall he’s the teacher of religious history in this institute, an important core subject for all to study.

Champions are a great part of his fascination.

However, let me tell you one thing about gods…..” Principal Liam said, as his expression changed from that of an amiable smiling principal to one of a madman as he took his hand and chopped both Sophia and Rocky on the neck to knock them unconscious.

” I don’t give a fuck about the gods!”

*THUD*

*THUD*

Both Rocky and Sophia fell face first onto the stage unconscious, as chaos gripped the entire hall.

‘ What the fuck? Did he just attack a student?’

‘ How dare he lay a hand on Miss Sophia, this is not fair!’

‘ I will write about this on the tower media! This is simply unacceptable!’

The crowd went bonkers, as some laughed while others could not believe what they just witnessed.

Such brazzen disrespect of the deities?

Only a madman could do this.

“SILENCEEEE!” Liam shouted, as the light in the room dimmed by several units and the entire hall turned near pitch dark.

Ghosts began popping out as the temperature of the hall dropped drastically, to below the freezing point of water.

” Like you just saw, I don’t care about your origins, your affiliations nor your religion.

Within this university, everyone is just a student for me and that is exactly how all of you shall behave.

The champions need to be treated the same way as all of you talented children and I forbid associating with them for personal gains.

Become overly friendly with them and my ghosts will torment you in your dreams.

The gods maybe all mighty in the tower, but within these campus grounds the only god you must fear is me.

DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND?” Liam asked, as he left the entire hall of freshmen trembling in fear.
