Blood Assimilation

The group of students continued to watch the virtual combat on the student's smart bracelet a few more times with scrutinizing eyes. 

They had replayed the scene where the fight was concluded a few times as they continued walking towards the gate of the academy.

They were so immersed in watching the fight scenes that they had forgotten something crucial as they did so.

At this point, the student who was showing them the virtual stream was annoyed by how they were basically hogging his smart bracelet without reserve.

"Hey, what are you guys doing? Give me back my smart bracelet. If you want to watch it, go, and search it up yourself. I only intend to show you, not give you my smart bracelet." 

The student said to them in displeasure and immediately snatched the bracelet from the group of students.

"H-Hey, what are you doing? It was at a good scene too. Tsk." 

One of the students amongst the group of students said in a grumpy tone. 

"Right, do you know that guy's name, I mean the guy that defeated Sword Fool? I don't see his name displayed on the video just now." 

One of the students amongst the group of students asked in curiosity.

Hearing this question, the student said: "Let me check… oh?"

"What? Let me see… Oh?" 

Hearing his reaction, the student that asked was also curious and went to peek his head to check the screen projected and he was also surprised by what he saw.

The others were also intrigued and so, they all went to check what was on the projected screen by surrounding the student holding the smart bracelet. 

"Now, that's some cringe-worthy name…" One of them commented.

"I know right… This person might be into some stuff like that." One of the students agreed and also commented 

"Anyway, forget the name. He is definitely some hidden genius in the eastern district. And if he was able to fight head-on against the Sword Fool, then he was at the 4th Rank Combat Power Level." 

One of the students commented after a while. 

"Right, now that you mentioned it, but why did he not come out until now? If he was that strong, then we should've heard about him already, right?"

A student doubtfully asked with a confused expression. 

"Are you an idiot?"

"What do you mean?"

"As I said just now, he was a hidden genius… Do you not understand what 'hidden' means?"

"Ah, right, so he was hiding his abilities until now… doesn't that mean he was already part of a sect or a university by now? Or…?"

"Who know…"

At this moment, a group of female students walked by them, and they saw the projected screen, they momentarily stopped to watch the screen and then immediately started discussing with their friends.

"OMG, did you see, he was so handsome, do you know who he is?"

"I don't know but I wish I could get his contact number, hehe."

"Ah, what a shame, I would ask those guys, but they just look plain, I don't want to waste my time on them. I can just search it up myself later.

The girls spoke as their voices receding in the distance ahead of the boys. 

"Tsk~ Those girls only care about the looks of that guy when they saw the screen." 

One of the boys commented in displeasure.

"What bad luck. They don't even give us any glance before, and now, when they saw a handsome guy, they started swooning like a bunch of little ducks chasing after their mama."

One of the boys said in disdain, clearly had some bad history with girls.

"Bro, why you gotta say it like that, Hahaha. You're just acting like a loser, bro."

"Who's a loser? Aren't you the loser for chasing after girls that do not like you?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? I'll have you know that I am actually very popular among the girls with my shapeshifting ability."

"Hmph! Do you mean you turning into a cat and deceiving those girls is you being popular? Who are you kidding?!"

"Shuu— bro, why you gotta say that out loud? Do you want the girls to grill me alive or something? Do you not care about your bro?"

"Hmph!"

All this time, Randy had been following behind this group of students without picking the pace because he was interested in what they were talking about.

However, at this point, when he heard the last conversation between the group of students, he suddenly had a look of admiration.

'That guy actually turns into a cat to get close to girls without their notice…? What a brilliant idea! But if he gets caught, I can't imagine what would happen to him. I can only pray for this poor soul then. But wait, since earlier, were they talking about Sword Fool? Was that Li Weisheng, the Sword Fool? Now that I think about it, I haven't checked the virtual stream of our fight just yet. Let me see my battle against him for reference. After all, that guy was so strong that if not because of me using my other abilities, I highly doubt that I would've been able to defeat him normally. Not to mention, he did not even use his lightning ability during our fight, well, he barely used it at the last moment though.'

Randy silently thought these to himself as he suddenly lifted his left arm that was wearing his smart bracelet. 

Randy tapped his smart bracelet, visited some sites before projected the recording of his match and he was shocked when he saw the projected video of the virtual combat. 

"What the fuck!" He shouted.

"Hm?"

At this moment, everyone that was walking beside him instantly turned to his direction.

'What is wrong with that loser? Did he finally lose his mind?'

Someone who recognized him thought as they looked at him with a weird expression.

"A-Ahem…"

Randy cleared his throat in embarrassment as he continued to watch the video projected from his smart bracelet with a strange expression.
