As soon as people realized that Sol had chosen Levi, there was a slight awe factor.
Some students began to say:
"So he went for one of the strongest, huh?"
"Cheh! If I were him, I would have chosen the weakest contestant."
"Except, you're not him. To that guy, we all are probably weak as shit anyways."
And the crowd also murmured:
"I see... so that is who Sanction Prince Levi will face huh."
"This should be interesting."
The teachers also talked amongst themselves:
"It's unfortunate, but I'm afraid the Sanction Prince will lose many points in this final exam."
"Oh? How so? Do you really believe he will lose?"
"Is that even a question? Sol defeated Karul of Forgroun."
"That is just a rumo--"
"What he showed us today was also just rumors until he proved us wrong right in front of our faces. I believe now... that none of those things were rumors."
Best book you will ever read!
