"Who is Sid Kageno?"
"I don't know, a name I've never heard of! This name is so unremarkable."
"Could it be a super strong hidden master within the school?!"
"I remember now, Sid Kageno is Claire Kagenou's younger brother."
"Oh, it's him. So, who is he?"
"I don't know either, I've never seen him."
Everyone was discussing Sid Kageno.
"If I refuse Alexia here, wouldn't that draw even more attention?"
"It's time to bring out my mob character ultimate technique!"
Sino stood up from the audience.
He jumped directly from the stands, leaping towards the dueling arena.
Everyone watched Sid's figure, thinking he was some kind of master.
The next second, he fell face-first onto the dueling arena.
"This…"
"I know! Sid Kageno is deliberately feigning weakness, so he can make his opponent drop their guard."
"Read fewer novels. This guy is just plain weak. What kind of strong person would land face-first without any regard for their reputation?"
The audience commented on Sid.
"Are you okay, um!"
Marco, Sid's opponent, walked over to Sid and asked.
"I'm fine!"
Marco reached out and pulled Sid up.
"Thank you!"
Alexia returned to her seat, quietly watching the match.
Sino's strength is great, and his sister Claire's strength is also great.
Alexia had a slight suspicion about Sid, suspecting that he was actually very formidable.
But… Alexia recalled when the two of them played a coin-tossing game earlier; Sid had no dignity whatsoever.
He would abandon all dignity for money.
"Is this kind of person really a strong one?"
Everything will be revealed in this battle.
Sid looked at the person in front of him.
His opponent was named Marco.
A blue-haired young man, he looked very handsome and sunny.
He was exactly the image of a protagonist in a normal story.
His opponent had even kindly pulled him up.
"Although the opponent looks weak, he was sent by Alexia, and even Vice-Captain Shishiko Kouren lost. I can't let my guard down; I must go all out," Marco thought to himself, looking at Sid.
"Let me show you my seventy-two ultimate techniques!" Sid said seriously.
"Seventy-two ultimate techniques? That many!" Marco exclaimed internally.
Someone with one or two ultimate techniques is already very impressive, but the person in front of him actually has seventy-two ultimate techniques.
"Am I going to lose too? I can't think like that. I must win, no matter the cost, I must win. I cannot disappoint Princess Alice's expectations of me."
"Both sides, please prepare!"
"Match start!"
Following the referee's announcement.
Sid was the first to draw his sword and attack.
"His speed is slow, and he's full of openings. Is there some kind of trap? No, I can't act rashly!" Marco thought to himself.
Marco retreated several steps.
He dodged Sid's attack.
"Why does his attack seem so light and floaty, with no power at all? He can't possibly be that weak. I can't be careless!" Marco thought to himself.
Sid attacked again.
Marco continued to dodge.
Sid swung his sword too hard and suddenly lost his balance.
"Good opportunity!"
Marco was about to attack, but the next second, he quickly retreated again.
"Why does my intuition tell me that the guy in front of me is unfathomable?!"
Marco looked down at his hand; it was trembling.
It was a biological instinct of fear.
His body was afraid of the person in front of him.
Sid looked at Marco somewhat strangely; he had already prepared his seventy-two mob character ultimate techniques.
But his opponent just wouldn't hit him, only dodging his light and floaty attacks.
Marco took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to stop his body from trembling.
"I cannot be a coward. What did I join the Knights Order for? Even if I know I can't win, I must fight to the death!"
Marco gathered his magic power into his magic sword.
He launched a fierce attack towards Sid in front of him.
Marco could already foresee his outcome.
He would probably be instantly annihilated.
In that instant, he saw Sid swing his sword to block.
Then Sid flew out.
He spun two and a half times in the air, continuously spitting blood, and finally lay on the ground.
"This…"
Marco couldn't believe his eyes.
The audience also fell silent.
If he could be annihilated so quickly, then what was Marco dodging just now?
This made Marco look like a clown.
"It's not over yet!"
Sid shouted.
Then he stood up again.
"I still have seventy-one ultimate techniques left to show! I won't fall so easily!"
After Sid finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Are you really okay?!"
Marco spoke, concerned about Sid's body.
"I'm fine!"
Sid gripped his sword and charged forward.
This time, Marco intended to hold back some strength.
He must have misjudged this time; the person in front of him was indeed very weak.
Marco swung his sword.
Sid flew even further and spat out even more blood.
Marco stared blankly at his hand.
He had clearly only used half of his strength.
Why did Sid still fly out, and even further?
And Marco's hand was trembling even more violently.
His body was still instinctively afraid of the opponent.
"What exactly is going on?!"
Sid stood up once more.
He swung his sword at Marco.
Marco also swung his sword in retaliation.
At this moment, Alexia appeared between the two of them.
She grabbed both of their swords with her bare hands.
"It seems I was overthinking things. Pochy is still Pochy; his strength hasn't changed at all."
Alexia thought to herself.
"Could you please help me take him to the infirmary?"
Alexia said to Marco.
Marco felt the magic power fluctuations from Alexia.
She gave off a very powerful feeling.
More powerful than Alice.
But facing a strong person like Alexia, his body felt no fear.
Marco looked at Sid Kageno twice more.
He still couldn't understand why his body was afraid of Sid Kageno.
"Royal Sister, it's our turn to duel next!"
Alexia said to Alice.
Alice showed no fear of Alexia.
Recently, she had met a sword master, and she had been following that sword master to learn.
That sword master was said to have come from Varkok.
He was the strongest existence in Varkok, intending to find a disciple to inherit his lifelong swordsmanship.
Then he met Alice.
And that sword master was actually someone arranged by The Order to approach Alice.
The sword master belonged to The Order's Loki faction.
Under his guidance, Alice felt that her strength was far superior to what it once was.
Even facing Alexia, she didn't think she would lose.
Initially, she had placed her hopes on Honglian and Marco.
But that was just a precaution.
Now, she could only rely on herself.
She was still very confident in her own strength.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to bother Alexia.
