He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 64. Challenging the university tower 5

"What? Even I managed to only clear the ninth floor in the difficulty mode when I was on campus, seems this young man is definitely gonna surpass me. I challenged the tenth floor several times but failed to even clear the easy mode till I graduated. I wonder what challenge he will get on the tenth floor though"

" Indeed. I am also curious about what kind of challenge he will get.By the way, your nephew managed to repeat your record. Had Kailen Darkhaven not appeared, he would have completely stolen the spotlight"

" What less can I expect from that little monster. Old man, I have to go through their footages as soon as possible. Let’s end the call now"

" Wait, someone wants to greet you"

" Who?... Kim" Reynolds stared at the beauty that had appeared on the screen with shock.

Observing the faint blush on her cheek, he sighed.He was not an immature fellow. She had not given up after all that had happened in the past.

"I’m sorry for what happened back then sir..errm Mr President. If only you could give me one more chance...I ...I.." Kim’s faint and sullen voice caused some memories to flash through Reynold’s mind.

"You have to move on Kim. You are the one who broke up with me when we were on campus because you thought I was too focused on training and did not have time for you"

"Ahem, brat,you are not growing any younger. Why don’t you just accept her apology and we can deem whatever drama went on in the past between you both as water under the bridge"

Donald shook his head dejectedly. These two youngsters had been dragging out this whole fiasco for too long. He was honestly tired of this.

" Old man what are you saying?. Do you know how long it took for me to move on ?. Haven’t you heard the Urna continent wise saying He that has been bitten by a snake even fears a worm?. Put yourself in my shoes for goodness’ sake"

Reynolds had lost his cool.

As for Kim, she stood at a corner in the room with a sullen expression , watching her boss exchange a few words with his disciple before they ended the call.

Donalds turned to look at her as he shook his head " Why did you have to end things with him?. You of all people knew that Reynolds values relationships,but once you betray that trust , he won’t give you another chance"

Kim voiced with a melancholic expression as she slumped on the wooden wall, letting go off any manner of professionalism between her and her boss " I was shortsighted at the time and did not see the bigger picture. All I thought about was how much time he needed to spend with me. But I didn’t know he had to also work hard to where he is now ,rendering me unsatisfied with the attention he gave me at the time"

Donalds shook his head .

" Like they say, there is no medicine for regret. Even me his master, has failed over and over again to convince him to give you a second chance Kim. You may have to move on. However, if you still believe you can win him over, do not give up. The issues of the heart are complex. One can never become a master in the area of the heart. Even old people like us, find that emotion, love,extremely mysterious at times"

" Thank you sir. I will take your advice into serious consideration . Sir, will Reynolds be appearing at the war at the border?"

"From the way he spoke, it seems the situation in Antarctica is also serious. My guess is it will be very unlikely. However if you want to meet him face to face, I can reserve a spot for you to join the next Antarctica expedition Helena Hall will be leading"

"Alright. I would love to join sir"

" Good. I’m rooting for you"

Kim blushes faintly " Thank you sir"

"Mmm"

*****

A few hours earlier.

The individuals crowded outside the building stared at the television screen with shock.

" Oh my god. Just who is this monster?"

" Xu Li Charles just hopped to the fifth floor. How long has it been. It’s been barely two hours since he started challenging the tower. This pace is unprecedented"

Arrie’s eyes widened in shock " I always had a feeling that guy was not simple . My instincts were spot on"

Due to Arrie’s past, and dramatic experiences,she had become extremely critical and sharp in the area of judging people.

Others in the class may not have noticed but she always felt Charles was not simple. This was why she had been the first to guess the Xu Li Charles challenging the tower was Charles Luke ,the loner who always sat at the back of the lecture hall during every lecture they had together .

" Quick look. Kailen Darkhaven just moved to the second floor after challenging the first floor in the difficulty mode"

" Isn’t this too fast?. It’s been only a few seconds since he entered the tower right?. And he has already beaten the first floor in difficulty mode?"

"Although the challenge for each person at every floor of the tower is completely different and therefore one cannot know what to expect at every level beforehand,this guy managed to quickly clear the first floor at this speed?"

" Well, this guy literally beat up an A ranked instructor so it’s pretty normal for him to clear it easily even if it’s hard. Speaking of instructors, why are they not allowed to challenge the tower?"

" That’s because the tower is designed for students idiot. Anyway concerning what you said earlier.The same might not occur for the higher floors though. After all, the virtual reality tower mimicks reality 80 percent. He may run out of worldy natural energy and may need to replenish his energy so his speed in challenging the higher floors may reduce. Also the higher floors will be equally challenging "

Arrie listened to the discussions with intrigue.

Then something clicked " I could use this to earn some credits right?"

" Alright fellow students, listen up. Why don’t we make a bet. If Kailen clears the tower in less than an hour and thirty minutes, you will each send me 500 student credits.However if he fails to clear the tower in the stipulated time I’ve deduced, I will send 500 student credits to anyone who agrees to participate in this bet. How’s that?"
