The combat practice has been started by Edgard who is the master of the golden tower. He will also act as a referee in the match. But ever since the referee announced the start of the match, not a single student dared to come forward and challenge the others.

"Hoo... Are all the students in this academy cowards? Not even a single one of you dares to come forward and challenge the other students. What a shame." Edgard shook his head and said provocatively.

"I will go!" A student from class E was provoked by Edgard's words. He's a muscular boy with blonde hair. On his back, he carries 2 swords.

"Introduce yourself before the fight and choose who you will challenge." Edgard smiled that there were students who were provoked by his words.

"My name is Milo Ignatius from class E. I'm going to challenge Lucas Gloria from class S." He pointed to the lowest list of class S students which meant his test results were the lowest of all of them.

"You dare challenge a student from a class 5 levels above you?" The short silver-haired boy stepped into the arena. He held a long spear in his right hand. He is the student who has been challenged by Milo, Lucas Gloria. They were facing each other only a few meters away.

"No more small talk! The match begins!" Edgard's voice signaled the start of the first battle.

Milo immediately drew his two swords, they both closed their distance in an instant. Clashes between spears and swords ensued in the center of the arena. From the start, they had already brought out their full strength. Milo has 4 aura seals with twin fish patterns while Lucas has 4 aura seals with unicorn patterns.

Their fight did look fierce, but little by little Milo was pushed by Lucas. Even though he used 2 swords but he couldn't fully withstand the attacks of Lucas' spear let alone counterattack.

Ziel who was watching from his seat along with the other class D suddenly held something in his hand. He was holding a box and inside was food that looked like a 'popcorn'. He watched the match with a poker face while eating his popcorn.

Kalya who accidentally glanced at him pop out blue veins on her forehead. While the other students were fighting fiercely for positions, he instead ate his snacks.

(Does he think he's watching a show? Then what's that food he's eating? I've never seen it. Is it good?)

Kalya muttered in her heart seeing what Ziel was doing. She felt strange every time she saw him. She had no idea what exactly she was feeling. But every time she saw Ziel, she became more and more curious about him. It was the first time she had felt such a feeling. Even so, she seemed to be addicted to his current feelings. Sometimes a little smile formed on her pretty face.

The battle of the two disciples in the arena was finally seen. Milo, who kept pushing, ended up in a corner and lost one of his swords. When Lucas' final attack hits Milo's neck, Edgard immediately stops the fight.

"Enough! The winner is Lucas from class S!" Edgard announces Lucas' victory. They both returned to their seats. Lucas walked away proudly, while Milo walked away sad and disappointed.

After that, many of the classes challenged the class S. Students who had already fought could not be challenged again on the same day. So they had to wait until tomorrow to challenge him again in a private duel.

The match continues in the arena. But none of the students could take over the position from the S class students. And from there, they realized the difference in their strength with the class above them. Even the girl from class S was no less great than the boy.

Until now, no student has dared to challenge the Prince or Princess from class S. Because they are in the top 10 on the student list. Even Clara until now has not received the challenge of the other students. Until finally there was a student from class C who dared to do that.

"I'm Liam Conrad from Class C will challenging Fritz Aurelia from Class S!" A short boy with a bald head challenged the first in the class S list. On his back, he carried an unusual weapon which was a large hammer. Instantly the training area became very noisy after hearing the words.

"Has he gone mad!?"

"Who does he think he is!?"

"He seeks his death!"

Sounds of mockery rang out from the various classes. Even his class didn't support him. But he stood up while puffing out his chest challenging the strongest person in the current academy.

"Brother, be careful." Princess Freya felt an uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

"You don't have to worry, I'll finish him in seconds." He smiled broadly and looked at Princess Aishia who was sitting next to Princess Freya. But Princess Aishia's response was only a small nod that disappointed him. He decided to vent his frustration on his opponent in the arena.

When he reached the arena, Prince Fritz just stood and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He didn't draw the golden-colored sword hanging on his waist. Meanwhile, Liam is holding a big hammer in his hand.

"I want to feel the power of being first in the ranking list in class S. I'm sorry if my actions offended you, Prince Fritz." He pointed his big hammer at Prince Fritz with a grin.

"Go ahead, I won't move from where I am standing right now. Attack me with your full strength." Prince Fritz arrogantly spoke to his opponent and finally, he drew the sword at his waist. The gleaming golden sword currently in his hand was a Master Rank magic tool. It was a gift from his father, king Leonida when he became a Sword Master.

"Stop chatting. The match begins!" Edgard's voice stopped their conversation and signaled the start of the battle.

"I go, Prince. Feel my full power!" Liam opens 4 bull pattern aura seals on his body. He charged towards Prince Fritz at full speed.

"Go ahead." Prince Fritz smiled provocatively. Most of the girls in the training area were captivated by his smile. They all supported him by shouting his name.

"Please accept this Prince!" Liam swung his hammer with all his might at Prince Fritz's face. He was targeting her face subconsciously because he felt annoyed every time he saw his smile.

"Is that all you're capable of? Then... Eh?" He was shocked because when he was about to bring out his power. He couldn't get it out at all.

[Lock On]

"Wait..." Prince Fritz panicked and tried to tell Liam to delay his attack but Liam's hammer was in front of his eyes.

Boooooooommmmmm

Prince Fritz bounced until he hit the wall of the training area and fell unconscious. Liam's attack power can be seen from the wall of the training area which was cracked due to the impact with Prince Fritz. Even Edgard who was acting as the referee stood dumbfounded at the scene in front of him. He thought that Prince Fritz who was the student with the top position in the class S list would win easily. But what happened in front of him was the opposite. He was defeated in one hit by his opponent.

What happened to Prince Fritz was the magic that Ziel had previously instilled when he was hit by Prince Fritz. The magic can be activated at any time. Ziel didn't expect his magic to activate at such a time.

"Brother!" Princess Freya screamed and ran to her brother accompanied by Princess Aishia. She saw her brother who was lying unconscious. Currently, Prince Fritz's face has a lot of wounds from being hit by a heavy hit from Liam's hammer. But it can be cured with magic or potions.

"Brother! Are you okay? Aishia please help me." Princess Freya panicked and immediately used her magic on him. Princess Aishia nodded slightly and did the same with her.

[[Minor Heal]]

They used healing magic at the same time. Little by little the wound on Prince Fritz's face began to heal.

"Urgh... What happened to me?" After the wound on his face healed, Prince Fritz immediately woke up from his stupor. He saw that he was surrounded by Princess Aishia and her sister.

"You fainted from being hit by your opponent's attack. What happened to you, brother? Why are you just standing still when you're attacked?" Princess Freya was confused by her brother's condition before being hit by her opponent's attack. He looked panicked at that time.

"Ah, that's right! My power! I can't bring out my power!!" Prince Fritz became panicked after remembering what happened. He screamed like crazy. The impression of a calm and gentle person that he previously gave to the others was gone in an instant. The other students who saw it felt pity.

"Brother, calm down!" Princess Freya held her older brother who looked like he was about to go berserk.

"The winner is Liam Conrad from Class C. Congratulations! You're the first to seize your opponent's position." Edgard who woke up from his shock immediately announced the result of the battle. Liam who was also surprised because his attack hit Prince Fritz immediately got up and raised his hand in victory.

His classmates who had previously mocked him were currently cheering happily for his victory. The match continues, but no more challenger can take the position of the challenged student. Berith also received challenges from other students. But he defeated the challenger with one hit. And it was the last match of the combat practice.

All the students immediately left the training area as soon as the match ended. Ziel who was walking side by side with Kalya whispered to her.

"Don't forget your promise. We'll start practicing today." Ziel quickened his footsteps and left Kalya behind without giving her a chance to answer. Her face looks sad as she looks at Ziel's back which is slowly disappearing from her sight.

***

After returning to the dormitory and changing his uniform into casual clothes, Ziel immediately went to Kalya's mansion in the middle of the forest. When he arrived at the mansion, Kalya was already waiting for Ziel at the door, it seemed she had realized his arrival because Ziel himself did not hide his arrival at kalya.

Currently, Kalya is wearing a sleeveless green shirt with a short white skirt. Her current appearance looks fresh and sexy. Because she boldly showed her smooth and slender legs in front of Ziel.

"Can we start the practice now?" Ziel didn't want to waste time there. So he wanted to start his training right away.

"Yes... But, can I ask before that?" Kalya hesitantly asks him.

"What do you want to ask?" Ziel looked her straight in the eye. Kalya blushed and immediately turned her face away from him.

"Did you have anything to do with the Prince Fritz incident?" Kalya's question made Ziel who was walking stop his footsteps.
