Zeus had finally pieced together his next move. The information he had gathered from Lucy while posing as Lucas left no doubt: to secure a better house and rack up substantial academy points, he needed to break into the top ten ranks. And the fastest way to do that? Take down one of the current top ten disciples.
[Whoa, hold your horses,] the system interjected, its tone dripping with smug superiority. [You're still just a two-star host, remember? All those top ten folks are three stars. Do you really think you're ready for that?]
"I know," Zeus replied, his voice steady with confidence. "But with my power, I should be able to take them on."
[Oh, sure, you can fight them,] the system conceded, a hint of sarcasm creeping into its tone. [If you're planning on making it a serious slugfest. But why waste energy? Why not take a page out of your sister's book? She's been killing her opponents like it's child's play, and it's done wonders for her reputation.]
