Ascender's Path: ORDEAL OF THE GODS

Chapter 3.

What appeared before him was gigantic school. It was at least 100 times bigger than Zander's previous school. The school was completely painted white and looked very futuristic.

There was a huge open gate that led to the expansive front yard of the school. When he looked around, he could see hundreds of students around his age all of them were heading towards the school gates.

He smiled and clenched his fists as he saw this development filled in excitement. He lifted his head up and walked through the gate of the school while admiring the beautiful scenery around him.

While Zander wasn't really paying attention to what was in front of him as he was lost in admiring the wonderful views around him, without knowing he was accidentally bump to someone.

*Bump*

As a result, he ended up bumping into a big burly student. He had blonde hair and a slightly big physique. He looked very intimidating while standing, as he was at least 5 inches taller than him.

Taking advantage to this situation, he lifted his fists as if he was ready to give a punch.

"Hey, you, watch where you're going! Look! You made me spill my drink!" The student shouted in a harsh and annoyed manner.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Please, forgive me." Zander nervously said while bowing his head.

"So, how are you going to compensate me? That drink was really expensive you know!"

The student was lying through his teeth. That drink was just an apple juice he bought from the vending machine right before coming. It cost no more than 1 dollars and 50 cents.

The student evaluated Zander's clothing and equipment, realizing that the kid in front of him was really poor. He scoffed at Zander looking at him in contempt.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Zander's ring that looked really expensive.

"How about you compensate me with that luxurious looking ring of yours?" the student said with a distorted smile.

"I am so sorry, but I can not do that. This necklace is very important to me and I wouldn't give it up for anything." Zander confidently retorted.

"Well, how are you going to compensate me then? You look really poor and it seems like you own nothing of value. This drink was really expensive, you know?" the student said while sneering.

Zander's face turned red out of embarrassment after hearing what he said. He was ashamed because he had wasted such an expensive drink.

"I... I don't have any money, but I promise I'll make it up to you somehow!" Zander said while he bowed even further.

At that point, the student couldn't control his emotion as looked very angry and annoyed.

"Are you a dumb? Listen here, newbie, you already made it on my nasty side, either you gave me that ring or you pay me 1000 dollars by next week."

At that moment, Zander became really confused.

[I'm confused, what kind of a drink would cost such a large amount of dollars?'] he thought.

But then he decided that it was probably some luxury drink he had never heard of.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I'm completely empty-handed. Even if I sell all my belongings, it would only amount to a few hundred dollars."

[Is this guy a literally idiot? What kind of retard bastard would actually believe my drink would costs 1000 dollars? I guess I'll just play with it a little longer.'] The student thought.
