Chapter 18 Venom Bane Titan
The second group of people were the most numerous, numbering eighty to hundred students. The clothes they wore were also spun from Gold-lotus silk, but they weren't custom tailored, nor did they undergo refinement from level Nine experts who had awakened their nuclear pulse. They looked to be dull and mediocre, like the faces of a thousand people. They were the "Ascending Class" of students, comprising mostly of the children of Old Steel Village and the neighbouring village's rich and elite families. In regards to their aptitude, their strength stemmed from using heaps of resources and serums.
The third group had a hundred or so people. Their clothes were inferior school uniforms weaved from ordinary materials. The uniforms were loose and worn, large and baggy, giving a somewhat sloppy appearance. The owners of this uniforms also did not give off any special energy. This was the "Common Class" of students. Most were born as children of common worker class families. Within the private high school, they were an existence like a mishmash of fish.
Erian was quite familiar with the "Common Class" and found his position within the formation. Just when he was about to stand fixed, someone patted his shoulder. A voice sounding somewhat greasy rang out, "Crazy brat, you only just got here? There's probably going to be an important person coming to our school today!"
Erian did not need to look back to know that this was his best friend, "Randolph Richwin". Raising his eyes, he looked at the main platform. Sure enough, he discovered that there was the headmaster, vice-principal, and the Village head among the people on the stage. All of the high-ranking people were present. This was indeed a special occasion never seen on a typical morning.
"Which important person could be so tremendous? Even Baldy Lee has personally appeared to greet him!"
To be exact, Baldy Lee was the school's Headmaster, Lee Yun. He was the very serious and solemn core member of the academy. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
He was a very high-level expert and even said to be a Titan. However, rumors claimed that when he was young, he suffered an internal injury while venturing in the "Forbidden Wasteland Forest" to the northwest. Year round, he would remain behind closed doors training, rarely coming out personally to supervise school affairs.
"Woah! It's Bane Horton! Man, it's ' Venom Bane Titan!' Bane Horton!" Randolph's excitement sky rocketed to the max. His voice was trembling as he spoke.
Just that name had also caused Erian's heartbeat pound like a violent machine.
Venom Bane Titan Bane Horton was King's Academy biggest graduate legend in the past several hundred years.
He was born in the slums of the town. Since childhood, he'd exhibited a dazzling talent for nuclear energy. When he was eleven, he was recruited by King's Academy in the town. By twelve, he had reached level-six, learning to use nuclear energy!
At age thirteen, he was tested to have a nuclear pulse of Five-star, accepted to one of the Seven Grand Universities, "Ancient Prime Institution". By the time he graduated at age fifteen, he had already stepped into the rank of Elite Titans!, becoming one of the few geniuses to have emerged from the Star Blaze Town!
From after his time in the Ancient Prime Institution, he rejected high salary offers from over a dozen Sects, resolutely deciding to join the " Military!" In the Ancient Crimson Battlefield , he was said to have killed several zombie Titans, colossals and Gigantic Monsters! Amassing the impressive name 'Venom Bane!'
From being a penniless kid in the slums to becoming a great Titan. Having a net worth over a hundred million, exotic cars and beauties, — this was simply the dream of all slum KIDS. Erian was no exceptions.
They all thirsted to become the next Bane Horton!
"He's here!" 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
Erian's inadvertently raised his eyes to look towards the eastern horizon. A black stream of lightning shot over, its speed was extremely fast. A second ago, it was at the horizon. With a single Blink skill, it was already silently floating in the sky over the field. It was a black flying plane!
The body of this plane was sleek and narrow like a stretched drop of water. Its length was nearly twice as short as that of common flying shuttles. Its exterior was crystal clear and no seams or rivets could be seen; it was of the highest quality. It was hard to tell from the exterior what kind of offensive devices this flying plane was equipped with. However, hidden under the radiance of its black glow was actually a dangerous air that caused the pulses of people to stop. It was a killing intent that seemed to reject being restricted to the confines of space and caused the thousand of high school students to simultaneously feel stifled.
"It's the 'Crystal Stretched Vulture'! A most advanced military plane! Its battle strength may be equal to that of a Titan! When piloting the 'Crystal Stretched Vulture', even the monsters in the Ancient Crimson Battlefield can be crossed unhindered, without restraint!" Erian called out wildly from within his heart.
The past Erian was a tech fanatic, it went without say that the Crystal Stretched Vulture elicited great admiration, greater than that towards Bane Horton himself!
More importantly, he knew that the barest configuration of the Crystal Stretched Vulture would reach a market price of nearly a million Silva! Even ordinarily rich and powerful families absolutely could not afford it.
A second passed. The pits of thousands of students' stomachs loosened. They were able to resume their breaths. The plane slowed down for a second and then suddenly flew, fading out of sight.
Left behind was only a pair of pupils, pitch black to the abyss. There was still a radiance within them. Every now and then, they would flit around, like purplish lightning, just like venom.
Whomever his gaze reached was affected. Even Headmaster Lee Yun and the usually overbearing village head were uncomfortable under the stare. They did not dare to meet his gaze.
"Titans really are wealthy! They really are awe-inspiring! They really are domineering!" Erian smacked his lips while swallowing some saliva.
