บท 124: Arrival of the Towers(2)

(A week before the Midterm Exams)

The looming arrival of the seven towers at the academy was scheduled for a week hence. Eren, having joined forces with Ezio, found himself in a situation where he didn't need to ponder much about the upcoming ranking battles. Their ranks were within a mere 20-point difference, and they agreed to maintain their current standings in the next battle to prevent any complications.

So, the ranking battles proceeded smoothly, virtually without a hitch, with Zephyr unsurprisingly clinching the top position once again. However, an interesting development arose when Zephyr challenged Eren to a duel.

  Eren, without hesitation, declined the challenge and chose to forfeit the match. His reason? 

'I have an image to uphold now.'

Indeed, Eren had become something of a hero within the empire, his fame rippling throughout the academy, and the name 'Pendragon' resonating within its halls.
