The Ancient Genes

Meeting Hall, Trinity.

Max looked at the time and saw it was getting late. It had already turned dark outside and they had ended up discussing things for the whole goddamn day.

Synthia and Rihanna hadn't come back after Max had kicked that girl out. And he honestly didn't care for her at this point of time but it seemed to be affecting the team over all. But that didn't mean he would lower himself for that, he wasn't kind enough not to mention that would make him look weak.

"Let's put it an end for here today, we still have a few days to go in detail." Max said as he looked at them before looking at the elderly man and speaking again, "Deploy a few people to keep an the eyes on the movement of the Dark Society for now."

With that the group decided to pack things up and as Max was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Argus.

"Why don't you come with me? I am sure there was some kind of misunderstanding with Synthia. She is not like that. I think it will be better to clear it up." He said while looking at Max.

Max was already in a hurry and didn't have anymore time to waste here. He looked at the him and shook his head, "It was not my fault, if she wants to ask for forgiveness and explain the matter, ask her to come and meet me."

With that, he took off and was soon gone.

"I wonder what happened with her. I have never seen her go crazy like that." Ragnar said with a frown not having any idea what was going on.

"It must have something to do with Rihanna. It is very unlikely that she would have done something like that for anyone else," Bell calmly replied before taking off as well, leaving the two behind.

"What do you think about the matter?" Argus asked with a sigh as he slowly walked out of the hall with Ragnar.

"Well, I don't think there was anything for Synthia and Rihanna to worry about. Max seemed pretty sensible to me and I don't think he even put those two in his eyes. There worries were definitely unfounded for." Ragnar shook his head.

"Well, its too late for her to regret that. She had already ended up offending him. I wonder what was going through her head." Argus shook his head helplessly.

"What if the guy actually make things tough for her now that she had gone up and done that?" Ragnar suddenly asked looking at Argus but he just shook his head, "I don't think he will do that and if he really does that, she could only blame himself for that.."

…

Roxley House, Trinity.

Max finally arrived at the place after practically running half the way through and moving at the speed of light. Luckily, it seemed he wasn't late.

When Max arrived at the place, he really didn't needed to introduce himself like he previously did at other places. The people already knew of him. And with his current popularity, there were would probably only be a few who didn't know of him.

"Please, this way Sir.." One of the servants hurriedly came to welcome him. It seemed they were already prepared for his arrival. It was good and save him a bit of trouble.

"Is my sister and Lora here?" Max asked looking at the guy but he shook his head and replied, " Young Lady still hasn't return and is most probably with Lady Janet right now."

It seemed he was the early one or they were probably running late.

The servant led Max inside the mansion and asked him to take a seat before inquiring if he needed anything.

"No, I am fine.." Max waved his hand with a smile and the person left.

The television was left on and the thing on it instantly caught Max's attention. It was displaying some content related to the All Academy Competitions. It seems that they had conducted some polls and the results were finally out.

The current most popular student was Max himself and it was kind of expected but it still managed to get a smile on his face. But Max was more interested to know about the others on the list.

The second was Kain Walker. The guy was the strongest among all the Celestials so it was expected as well. The third place unexpectedly belonged to Mr. Cool. It seemed that people had no idea how irritating the damn narcissist could be at times. Alas, the guy had a good looking face which was working in his favor.

Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh places belonged to Ren Tiner, Faryl Zen, Erina Scarlet and Alan Black Wood respectively but the eight position was taken up by a Dark Horse.

It was Lear.

Max could clearly imagine the guy's grinning face upon seeing this. He was sure to be happy about it.

Anyway, it was working nicely for them, it was clear that Lear had managed to enter the leagues of Celestials in terms of popularity and what really mattered the most was his position which was a rank above his brother.

The ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth place were taken by Arthur Barnes, Nathan Edwinson, Xenon Frost, Bayu Tempest. After that there was another unexpected person in the rankings.

It was Axel.

Max really didn't know whether to be happy about it or not as he was well aware of the reason why the guy was trending on the Internet. He was sure that Wilson would beat him up once he was out, this was really going to be troublesome.

Below Axel was Werner Ovens. The guy had a decline in his popularity as he had missed the first event and the reason for this still hadn't been properly declared in an official statement. Hence, people could only speculate but Max just smiled.

He knew where the guy was as he was the one behind his disappearance. The guy was currently a prisoner in Mr. Cool's spirit world and it didn't seem like he would be leaving any time soon and even if he did, it was most probably not in a single piece.

After these were a few more new emerging faces as well as the ones who just ranked beneath the Celestials. Max saw Wilson and Mark in this list as well. Eren seemed to have dropped a bit considering that he didn't have any nice moment and was overshadowed by his teammates.

But what was really hilarious was the 21st position.

It was Melan Roxley.
