Tom knew when to stop, and after a few strikes, he backed off once he saw that Ben was severely bruised.

Tom originally thought that the matter would end there, but when he heard Jack blaming him again, Tom laughed angrily, "Now that I think about it, we're classmates. Why didn't you say anything when your lackey was acting like a dog? What's the problem? Aren't you happy with your sycophant?"

After Tom spoke, he noticed a fireball forming in Jack's hand and immediately became irate. "You want to fight, huh? I'll take you on." He pulled out his weapon and shield from his backpack.

As the shield appeared in Tom's hand, Jack's eyes narrowed in shock: Golden equipment!

Jack had just completed the novice trial and only received three pieces of basic equipment, which he had to purchase. He believed that with those three pieces, he was much stronger than Tom. However, Tom's golden shield, essential for a shield warrior, caught him off guard.

At this stage, the attributes of a piece of golden equipment are enough to outperform 99% of others. Jack wouldn't dare challenge Tom unless he was out of his mind.

However, the fireball had already been released, and Jack found himself in a predicament. If he didn't fight after all his boasting, he'd lose face. But if he did fight...

He took another glance at Tom's weapon—a silver piece—realizing he stood no chance against him.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Principal Lee returned.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing Jack with a fireball technique, Principal Lee reprimanded him sternly. "Jack, what do you think you're doing? Using a fireball technique on your classmates? How many times have I taught you over the years? Your skills should be used against monsters in the abyss, not your peers."

Principal Lee felt heartbroken. Jack had just passed the novice trial and was already reckless enough to use his skills on classmates without any respect.

Will such a person truly protect humanity if he gains more power in the future? Principal Lee wasn't sure.

"Oh, it's just a friendly discussion between classmates. I'll apologize on Jack's behalf." Shortly after Principal Lee arrived, Vice Principal Charles also appeared.

Upon arriving, Charles immediately characterized the incident as a friendly exchange between classmates and offered a cursory apology to Tom and Alex. His attitude was as dismissive as possible.

In Charles's heart, Jack was more significant than Alex and Tom. Jack's father, Robert, was level 45, a hidden professional spellbreaker with a bright future.

In Charles's eyes, Alex and Tom were just lucky boys. Before reaching level 10, one might get through an abyss or two by luck, but after level 10, they'd be forgotten.

Over the years, Charles had seen many such professionals, so he didn't take the Holy Tower's reminder to heart.

Indeed, after Charles discovered that Jack was being reprimanded, he immediately intervened.

Upon seeing Charles, Jack felt relieved and stopped casting spells. However, being scolded by Principal Lee left him frustrated, and he resented Tom and Alex.

Originally, Principal Lee wanted Jack to remember this incident, but with Charles smoothing things over, he couldn't say much more. Still, he snorted in displeasure, "Remember, no more of this."

Hearing Principal Lee's words, Charles responded with a smile, "Definitely, definitely." After that, he took Jack and left first.

"Alex, why did you pull me back just now? Jack's weak fireball couldn't have hurt me at all."

Tom was annoyed seeing Jack walk away unscathed. "If he'd dared release that spell, I'd have slapped him with my shield and knocked out a few of his teeth."

These words made Principal Lee raise his eyebrows angrily, giving Tom a slap on the back of the head, causing him to yelp in pain.

Alex had been expressionless just now, but after seeing Tom's reaction, he spoke, "We can't act aggressively in the city. It violates city regulations. It's one thing to hit Ben, but touching Jack is another matter. It's not easy to explain that to his father."

After speaking, Alex looked at Principal Lee. "Is there anything else you'd like to discuss with us, Principal?"

Alex's words made Principal Lee look at him with admiration. Young, powerful, and patient—Alex's character impressed him.

This wasn't the typical behavior of someone his age. At this age, he should be as outspoken and straightforward as Tom, without worrying about consequences.

Alex was thoughtful. The other party had a background, and causing trouble might be problematic, so Alex refrained from taking action. It's common: you hit the younger one, and the older one comes after you.

If you want to beat someone, do it decisively to avoid future trouble.

Alex's character has always been that he won't offend others unless they offend him. If someone does, he'll retaliate tenfold.

Principal Lee obviously recognized this but didn't point it out because he knew Alex was principled, and such a person wouldn't harm humanity.

"I just received a call from Secretary Susan. They said listing you as S-level seeds isn't impossible, but you need to prove yourselves," Principal Lee explained his purpose.

"Prove ourselves? How else can we prove it? Isn't being the top in the Hell Difficulty Goblin Forest proof enough?" Tom asked in confusion.

Alex had a similar attitude, but he knew there must be a reason for Principal Lee to bring this up.

Principal Lee took them to a secluded spot and whispered, "Let me tell you, there are only 5 S-level seed spots this year. It's said that two are already reserved. You'll have to compete for the remaining three."

"I'm not sure what's going on this year. There are many outstanding professionals. Including you two, there are 20 candidates, more than double previous years. But there are only 5 spots. Although you've cleared the Hell Difficulty Goblin Forest, you still have to compete."

When Principal Lee explained, Alex understood. "Then what should we do? Do we need to fight?"

Principal Lee shook his head, "You're not even level 10, and you haven't learned many skills, so fighting isn't the solution."

After a pause, Principal Lee said seriously, "The allocation of spots requires entering a special abyss. Based on the final score given by the Holy Tower, you'll be ranked. Only the top three will receive S-level seed status."

Alex understood. It was about entering the abyss. He was good at that. Couldn't he just rush through it all? He'd secure the top spots in no time.

Principal Lee noticed Alex's confident look and smiled secretly, thinking: You'll understand once you enter the abyss; it'll make an impression.

At that moment, Principal Lee's phone rang again. He took it out and saw it was Secretary Susan.

Principal Lee walked a few steps away to answer the call. After hanging up, he looked helpless.

"Something happened," Principal Lee hesitated to say.

"Is the quota issue a secret? It's okay, Principal. It doesn't matter if there are no S-level spots."

The S-level seed quota is precious to ordinary people, but Alex didn't care much. With his current growth speed, he'd soon surpass his peers.
