Once the class ended, I approached Instructor Sylvia who had asked me to wait after the lesson had ended.
With a serious expression she began. "Adrian, I need to inform you of a development regarding your record."
"Is it regarding my record being broken?" I said, having heard the news from the students in the corridors.
"Yes, it seems like the news has already reached you. Another student from the first Elite class broke your attack record yesterday. His score was 9,701 points."
I nodded calmly. "I see. So the monthly payments are suspended until I reclaim the record?"
"Exactly. You'll no longer receive the 10,000 monthly bonus until you can break the current record and hold the top position again." She paused, studying my reaction. "However, you did already receive the initial 50,000 point reward for breaking the record in the first place, so that remains yours even if the record was broken after."
