Zeus walked through the academy grounds, making his way toward the central office. After his victory over Caius , the officer at the arena had informed him that he was now the third-ranked outer disciple. With this new status came rewards and responsibilities, and he was required to visit the central office to receive his benefits and learn the rules associated with his new position.
As Zeus leisurely strolled through the bustling academy, his mind already calculating his next steps, the system's voice cut through his thoughts, laced with its trademark arrogance and a hint of mockery.
[Tell me, Zeus, why did you hold back during that battle? You could have crushed Caius like an insect, just like Lucy did with her opponents. Or are you going soft on me?] The system's tone was both condescending and taunting, as if daring him to explain himself.
