Hand Of God

Chapter 46 All tied for second place except Adam

However, finally, three seconds later, Diana couldn't hold it in any longer and stopped maintaining her image in front of everyone. She smiled and said, "Impressive, first place, but your lead over the second place doesn't seem that big, does it?"

Diana pointed at the fingernail-sized crystal in Adam's hand, clearly teasing him. Adam shrugged and replied, "It's enough, anyway, it's just for the ranking."

At this moment, Diana unabashedly stared at Adam's face, observing how he had returned to his usual lazy and nonchalant demeanor, devoid of the decisiveness and dominance he had displayed during the battle in the Realm. She couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"I didn't expect you to be this strong."

"But I never doubted that you would be first!"

Clap, clap, clap.

After speaking, Diana leaned back in her chair and began to clap her hands gently, the slow and crisp sound of her applause echoing in the silent lobby. This applause was like a fuse, instantly igniting the entire lobby!

The crowd, who had been stunned by Adam's emergence with only a small piece of energy core, was awakened by the applause. All the students cheered, jeered, and clapped vigorously, as if they had all won a battle together.

"First place! He won!"

"I never realized that maybe E-class is the strongest superpower rating."

"Amazing, you said you wouldn't take our energy cores, and you really didn't, leaving them all in the Realm!"

"Thanks to you, I've been promoted to second place!"

The people who had just attacked Adam and were counterattacked by him were still confused, not knowing what had happened. When had this guy become so popular? Wasn't he hated by everyone at the beginning of the trial?

After briefly chatting with those around him, they understood what had happened. Adam had used the extreme tactic of blocking the door, beating up everyone who was fighting each other, including those who had taken energy cores from him. He ensured that everyone else scored zero, while he was the first place, but in terms of ranking, they were all tied for second place except Adam now!

Almost none of the students present dared to say they had ever hoped for such a good result as second place. So in a sense, Adam had helped each of them reach a position they had almost no hope of achieving.

This approach was a provocation of the rules with absolute strength!

The students knew that Adam was not only unhappy with those who had taken his spoils but also dissatisfied with the rules of this trial. If the students like Freeman, who had attacked him, were the knives, then the rules were the invisible hand controlling the knives.

So at this moment, everyone was happy, and there was no discordant voice. Even Freeman, who had just been treated but still looked a bit bruised, was clapping along with everyone else.

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down," Thomas said with a kind smile after the trial ended. It took several repetitions for the crowd to quiet down again.

"Well, I know that when you were all suspicious of each other in the Realm, dragging your exhausted bodies, thinking about how to take from others and guard against being taken from, you must have cursed this trial's madness to some extent."

"I am the one who proposed this rule, hehehe, if you want to curse, you can curse me."

Thomas said with a chuckle, honestly addressing the students.

"This extremely ruleless survival of the fittest is also intended to train you all."

"Of course, this trial has had a small accident due to a certain factor this time."

"Every year, we give many rewards to those who rank high in points, but this year, with so many second places, we are a bit strained in terms of resources, so..."

Speaking of this, Thomas paused for effect, his eyes scanning everyone's faces.

"So I decided to pay out of my own pocket to make up for the rewards that were not originally prepared!"

"In this trial of all assessment-free admission students, you have all achieved the good result of second place."

"Of course, there is also someone who challenged the rules and got first place!"

Hearing this, the students were stunned for two seconds, and then once again, they burst into deafening cheers.

Everyone was happy, looking harmonious and joyful.

Looking at their joyful expressions, Thomas felt both gratified and reluctant.

They are all young and energetic, but unfortunately, in a while, they will have to face some truths that are hidden from the public.

Let them celebrate and be happy for a while longer.

As everyone was cheering, a person slowly walked in through the door, looking dejected.

He was Henry, who had been instantly defeated by Adam at the beginning of the trial, and he had struggled for the past one and a half days.

He thought a lot, and when he thought about the shame of being the last place and the miserable situation of being laughed at after entering the school, he couldn't sleep at all.

Henry: I should have known not to flatter Sissi, why did I provoke that Adam!

After walking in, seeing everyone cheering, presumably satisfied with their results, Henry felt even more upset.

As a result, suddenly someone he knew ran over and said to Henry:

"Henry, you got second place!"

"Thanks to Adam, don't you have to apologize to him? You were thinking of targeting him at first."

Henry: ??? What? What are you talking about? How did I get second place? I don't understand.

Then, the person who knew Henry explained the ins and outs of the matter to him.

Listening to his explanation, Henry's eyes became more and more scattered, as if he was in a daze.

Why did he flatter Sissi? Why target Adam? Wasn't it just to have a good ranking, and have more resources and opportunities after entering university?

Was he dreaming? Could it be that his sincerity moved God?

In an instant, he became the biggest lucky guy in the field, not participating in the trial that consumed high physical and mental energy for thirty-six hours, and not missing out on any rewards!

At that moment, he looked up at Adam in a daze, and their gazes collided in the air.

Adam just shrugged, not planning to say anything to him. He didn't expect that Henry would do something he never thought of, almost making his eyes pop out in surprise.

In one swift move, Henry rushed to his side and tightly grasped his hand.

"Boss! I will be your follower from now on!"

Adam: What?! What?!

Adam was stunned.

What was Henry talking about?!

Was there something wrong with this guy's mind?

Adam quickly shook off the person, not allowing him to hold Adam's hand.

"Hey, don't be so disgusting, okay? Where did you get this kind of attribute? Don't tell me you're sick, don't hold me!"

Henry, dazed, was shaken off and quickly continued:

"I really appreciate you. From now on, I won't flatter that woman anymore, I'll fawn on you, boss!"

Looking at Henry's sudden change in attitude, Adam really didn't expect him to be this kind of person, and said with disgust:

"Act normally, be a bit more careful with your words, don't keep flattering or not flattering, I'm a bit disgusted by your behavior."

"If you really want to thank me, how about kneeling down right now."

"No problem!" Henry didn't hesitate at all, and immediately tried to kneel on the ground, but Adam used Energy Chain to pull him up directly.

Adam was impressed.

Looking at this guy's masochistic tendencies, Adam didn't know what to say.

You really can't judge a book by its cover, Adam didn't have this feeling at all when they first met.

How could Henry be so lacking in self-respect!
