Dimensional Descent

What Leonel didn't know was that his action of holding Aina's hand alone was more than enough to be looked at in this way.

During her time on Hero Peak, Aina hadn't just been learning a new profession, she spent just as much time training her body as she always did. She completely engrossed herself in improving, which was why she actually didn't notice how much time had passed until she realized she had missed a call from Leonel.

In the span of that time, Aina broke no small number of freshmen records, even those Raylion had held had been obliterated. If it wasn't for the fact Hero Peak was such a closed off community of elites, Aina would have caused an uproar that swept through the entirety of Valiant Heart.

That said, an uproar did happen. It was just that this commotion was concentrated between the walls of Hero Peak.

The main issue was that Aina seemed to be completely closed off from everyone else, especially men. There were rumors that she had come to Valiant Heart with a boyfriend, but after observing her for a while, many of them had concluded that that was bullshit.

Now, though, running into Aina after she had disappeared for more than a week, only to find her holding the hand of a man they didn't even recognize… how could they not be shocked?

It seemed that Hero Peak was even more closed off than they knew. Even as freshmen, they actually had no idea about Leo the Cuck.

But, if one knew anything about the culture of ultra elite circles, this made sense.

In the past, white belt exams had to be taken within one's Peak. One can easily guess, then, that different Peaks had different standards. Becoming a white belt from Hero Peak was far more difficult.

Due to this, an intense competitive environment was brewed. Most freshmen of Hero Peak spent years keeping their head buried in their training before they could burst out with all their potential at once.

The freshmen of Hero Peak were much like the elders of Valiant Heart in that way, having no idea about such petty squabbles.
