"Nononono."
The student's grin got wider.
"Too late!"
Tapped his phone.
"Already posted!"
Alex froze. "What?"
"DONE!" He laughed.
Another voice. From the crowd.
"Me too! Different angle!"
"SAME!" Another student.
Someone pushed forward. iPhone 101.
"Ultra HD! Posted everywhere!"
Alex stood there.
Multiple uploads. Multiple angles.
All spreading. All viral.
His reputation...
Gone.
Then text appeared.
[Option 3 Complete!]
[Reward: Charge Skill +1 Level!]
[Charge is now Level 4!]
[New Effect: 25 meters range, +20% speed, +60% impact force!]
Alex stared.
Then grinned slowly.
Screw it.
Who cares?
He got stronger.
That's what mattered.
Turned away. Walked toward the entrance.
The teacher looked up. Smiled.
"Welcome. Which cultivation room?"
"We have five tiers. All free for students."
Pulled out a chart.
"Basic Room. 2x speed."
"Intermediate. 5x speed."
"Advanced. 8x speed."
"Elite. 10x speed."
"And Supreme. 15x speed."
