Telor Xon Navak's victory caught the academy in surprise.

Even though Telor was the 'top 50' of the academy, he's actually the 50th guy. So, him defeating the 41st Chanlar was an achievement.

Despite being in the range of low rank 7, the difference between the weakest and strongest of a subrank was very large.

The unexpected victory caused Miss Calamity's streaming video to go viral. The students were amazed at not just Telor winning but at his aura increase that led that victory.

As Varian intended, rumors started to spread that the sword was a type of natal treasure that'd give him a big rank boost.

Sooner or later, Telor would hit mid rank 7 and drastically improve his rankings. And who knows? He might even graduate this time!

But these rumors and news accounted for only a small portion of the total. The larger discussion was, of course, gossip.
