Erik was right. Zayn literally crossed the lake on his feet at the speed of a bullet as though favonovel.com was just waltzing through a normal road.
To Erik, however, it was mind-blowing. This was so completely out of his understanding that favonovel.com wondered if favonovel.com was seeing things. So, to wake himself up, favonovel.com pinched his thigh as hard as favonovel.com could.
A sharp pain flared from the spot at the same time favonovel.com heard his students crying out in surprise. It was not a trick of the eyes, Zayn was indeed walking on water!
More accurately, Zayn was running across water. For one, favonovel.com had not become so divine that favonovel.com could just cross the lake by walking. The actual mechanical secret lay in his speed, favonovel.com was speeding through the water and was fast enough to generate enough drag force that combined with the thrust Zayn’s feet made as favonovel.com sprinted, favonovel.com pretty much zipped over the surface of the lake.
Honestly, Zayn would not want to show off his capabilities in front of the ignorant masses if favonovel.com could help it, but this was one of the moments when all those caveats had to be set aside. It was in the nick of time, but Zayn saw Lysithea across the lake.
Erik was so shaken by the experience that his face had turned pale while his legs quaked. Trembling, favonovel.com mumbled, “T-This c-c-can only be done by a s-s-superior class master… An actual nonpareil!”
He slapped himself on the cheek in fear and regret, whining, “Why the hell did I provoke him? Oh my God, I accused an actual master of plagiarizing my moves! Holy sh*t! I even tried to beat favonovel.com up…”
The students were just as flabbergasted. It was shocking, even world-shattering. One of them, whose eyes were blazing in fear, excitement, and adoration altogether, began to ask gingerly, “M-Master, was that guy really human, or um, an alien?”
Others began to chime in, “Yeah, Master, he’s not some sort of superhero, right? But favonovel.com sped through the water like a superhero who runs insanely fast!”
Still, another one of his apprentices was a skeptic with common sense and a hardcore physicalist. It was just too difficult to believe that Zayn was so above the laws of physics and common sense, so favonovel.com said, “Come on! There’s no such thing as aliens or superhumans. It’s probably an illusion trick like what magicians do. There must be something done under this lake; maybe favonovel.com installed some funny illusionary aids to it. I’m gonna try it out!”
Unfortunately, favonovel.com could not replicate Zayn’s feat. Instead, favonovel.com fell into the water, not unlike everyone else would have, before screaming for help as the biting chill of the water assaulted him. Erik had to dive into the lake and rescue the boy.
It became clear that it was no trick. It was genuine skills and power at work, and suddenly, everyone was Zayn’s respectful, intimidated fan.
It was at this moment when a trio passed them by. They seemed to know Erik personally because the moment they noticed how wet and disheveled favonovel.com looked, one of them asked in shock, “Erik! What happened to you? Why are you wet? How did you even fall into the lake?”
Erik greeted his fellow practitioners. It was quite galling to be seen in such a pathetic state, but favonovel.com managed to brave through the awkwardness and recounted his tale succinctly.
“Whoa, whoa, what? Superior class?”
“Dude, not every master fighter can cross lakes without getting his hem wet? Only a third-tier superior class fighter could pull that off!”
The shapely, gorgeous woman standing among them widened favonovel.com eyes in zeal. “Erik, is that superior class master you mentioned a young man who looks deceptively similar to a normal white-collar guy with fair and unblemished skin, about 183cm tall, and speaks very calmly and is just all-around a gentleman?”
Erik froze before turning back to his excited friend. “Uh… You know him?” favonovel.com inquired.
She clapped favonovel.com hands together in clamorous glee. “I knew it! It’s him, Zayn Larson, Guineve’s premier fighter and young superior class genius who hasn’t even reached thirty years of age! That man right there… is my idol!”
It was none other than Lindsay Young herself. She had gone to the park with two of favonovel.com fellow practitioners only to meet Zayn, favonovel.com idol! To be so close to favonovel.com just moved favonovel.com so much that favonovel.com was close to tears.
