"I really hate limiters" I muttered while my goody professor put on the bracelets for me.

    "Apollo"

    "Yes professor"

    "I want you to apply the technique I have been teaching you all"

    "Do you mean control and force application professor?"

    "Yes I want you all to do that but also the endurance and stamina technique, I remember making you all walk on a burning plate before, and only using your ki or mana as a means of protection. Use everything that I taught your class to climb the steps"

    "Alright prof got you"

    "Good! Now go up there and show them what it means to be part of my class"

    I looked at my friends and on their wrists you can see identical bracelets like mine. Unlike me who only wore limiters now, them on the other hand have been wearing it for weeks.

    [I think you had influenced your friends to do some crazy stuff]

    "Nah they are already insane as I am," I said confidently as I walked towards the now crowded steps.

    "Let''s go, class, we have to reach the top of these freaking stairs"

    I honestly thought it would be easy but I underestimated the might of the limiters, which the professor personally made by for me.

    .

    "And here students are one of the challenges that are accessible by all years, the rainbow steps"

    Said the professor who looked proud while presenting this place.

    "Each step contains a gravitational pull that can test your strength and endurance. Remember students the darker the colour of the step the more force it has. Now then go on give it a try"

    She encouraged them while guiding the student in the front to try.

    "It seems fun let''s try it" Caesars said while urging his friends to go with him.

    "Might as well see how far I can go"

    Johan thought while confidently walking with Astrid and Odysseus. Behind those two are their student escort Leona Blackvel and Logan Blackstone.

    "I wonder how far will the prince go?"

    "Don''t know, let''s check the record board instead, it seems the highest score is from a seventh-year student?"

    "Wait isn''t that a bit overstay?"

    "Nope I think it still depends on the study he took, how many steps did that person do"

    "Well it says 210"

    Hearing that number made the other students impressed.

    "How about the one from a first year how far did he get?"

    "first year wait the list is too long...oh! Found it! It''s only thirty steps"

    "Is that the highest?"

    "Yes apparently it is"

    Seeing only thirty steps from first-year students like them, some students felt discouraged to give it a try.

    Not until they saw a group of people coming from the back.

    "Hey move it!"

    "Calm down buddy we aren''t allowed to kill here" Mckenzie jokingly said while taking another step.

    They walked even more until they arrived at the twenty-fifth step, there they saw the back of six people. It was the prince, Caesar and his friends, Johan, Astrid, Odysseus and their escorts.

    "Damn it how can they be so fast"

    Johan gritted his teeth as he said this, he never liked Apollo especially his team of abnormal classmates.

    "Calm down Aaren and focus the gravity here is getting even more fierce" the prince reminded him.

    "We should rest once we arrive at the yellow step since the pull there is much lighter"

    "Astrid is right my prince let us head there"

    "Okay Seus lets go everyone"

    The prince regulated his breathing and made sure all parts of his body received the energy it needed.

    "Hoo" he breathes while the sun''s light basked into his skin.

    They really tried to move forward however the twenty-seven steps made their entire body shake.

    "Argh! I can''t take it anymore!" cried one of the student escorts, while Astrid and Odysseus tried to endure the powerful pressure.

    "No, I can''t!" Johan Aaren clenches his teeth not backing down.

    Apollo, I wanted to surpass him because he represents that place. The tower, the only place that continues to clash with my father''s and my family''s beloved name. The Mage Association was the strongest guild and organization of mages yet we continued to be overshadowed by the image of the tower.

    Just once I wanted to beat them so I could give something to my father, maybe that way he would finally look at me.

    "Be at ease" he suddenly heard a voice and as he looked up the very person he wanted to beat appeared in front of him.

    "Your body is slowly snapping due to the pressure, try to continue and you might actually break your bones" After saying those words he walked away like nothing happened.

    "Oh god look they reaching the thirtieth step"

    "Can they do it the indigo step seems to be putting a lot of pressure on them"

    "Clang!"

    They heard a crisp sound of falling and they began to notice the unique bracelets that the class had been wearing the entire time.

    "Wait if I am not mistaken they have been wearing that since the incident with the cafeteria right?"

    "What incident?"

    "I think the proper question is which one of those incidents"

    "Never mind that look they are speeding up again after removing those bracelets!"

    Just like what they say the class continued to walk forward until the entire Eastern Academy felt surprised by the result.

    "Sixty-five! That''s the step some fourth years and third years are struggling to and yet they handle it!"

    "Wait someone is still walking!"

    All the watching students and professors took out their spy glasses to see the lone student who continued walking forward.

    "Is that?"

    "It''s Apollo!"

    "Our top ranker is not topping the leading board of this challenge"

    He was kidding when he said that however in the next moment, Apollo''s name came on top with his achievement written in bold and flaming letters.

    "Apollo Lionheart challenge completed!"

    "Is that mean?"

    "He reaches the top!"
