"They're here!!"
Some sharp-eyed student spotted the Wood Clone strolling over from afar with his hands behind his back like an old man, then shouted loudly, drawing everyone's attention.
The spectators around the training ground immediately turned to look.
"Oh... what a warm welcome!"
The Wood Clone walked over with a calm expression. Having seen this sort of scene countless times before, he took it in stride.
Back when he had been roaming around First Martial University, wasn't it like this every single time? He had long since grown used to it.
"Hello, everyone! Have you eaten yet?"
The Wood Clone walked up and waved casually at the students, looking every bit like an old cadre making an inspection.
"..."
Everyone stared speechlessly at Lin Yu. Have you eaten yet? What the hell kind of attitude was that?
For a moment, the densely packed crowd fell into an eerie silence.
"Come on, make way for me!"
The Wood Clone paid no attention to the strange atmosphere and started forward. The students ahead instinctively tried to back away and clear a path, but there were simply too many people, and after retreating for quite a while, they had only managed to open a narrow gap.
"What a hassle..."
The Wood Clone muttered, and with a thought, a small repulsive force field instantly enveloped him.
"Watch yourselves..."
The Wood Clone called out a warning, then stepped into the crowd.
Just as the students were wondering what he meant, an overwhelming force suddenly pressed against their bodies.
The students' expressions changed instantly. Under that immense force, their bodies were pushed backward beyond their control.
If the students here had not all been Awakened, countless people would have already fallen over, and tomorrow's headlines would probably be reporting some major stampede incident at Sakura
