“What is this?!”Alisa shot to her feet, unable to hide her excitement.“Rhys made the first move!”“So this is the true strength of his familiars?”Gasps rippled through the audience.“How is that wolf so huge?”“I heard rumors that it could suppress the bloodline of werewolves…”“…but I thought they were exaggerated.”One student could no longer contain his curiosity.Quietly, he summoned his own werewolf familiar.The moment it sensed Gealion’s presence, the werewolf froze.Its ears flattened.Its entire body trembled as it slowly backed away before looking pleadingly at its Beast Tamer, practically begging to be recalled.The student stared in disbelief.“What…?”“So the bloodline suppression is actually real?”People nearby immediately erupted into discussion.“If that’s true…”“Doesn’t that mean ordinary werewolves can’t even fight him?”Another student pointed toward the battlefield.“What about the dragon?”“This is unbelievable.”“Our kingdom has an entire family descended fr

“I’ll beat you!” Mirova shouted as she lunged forward.“Come on, then.”Rhys answered with a confident smirk. Both of his hands rose into the air, and sixty Mana bullets appeared around him. Just like his battle against the bandits, he immediately launched fifty-six of them, splitting them into eight separate groups.The bullets scattered in different directions instead of flying straight at her.Mirova frowned.None of them followed the same path. They curved through the air from different angles, gradually surrounding her as though they intended to cut off every possible escape route.“The two Beast Tamers are finally making their move!” Alisa exclaimed. “Wait… is he controlling every one of those bullets at the same time?”“It certainly looks that way,” Carmichael replied.Alisa stared at the battlefield in disbelief.“I’ve tried controlling multiple projectiles before, so I know how difficult it is. Honestly, I can’t even control that many at once. Sixty is simply too much.”She l

“So…”“What was it you were saying earlier?”The moment Rhys casually flexed his restored arm, the arena fell into complete silence.Even the teachers, who had remained composed throughout most of the match, could no longer hide their astonishment.Alisa stared at him with her mouth slightly open.“His injuries…”“They healed instantly?”She rubbed her eyes as though she couldn’t trust them.“I… I can’t believe what I’m seeing.”A teacher beside her drew in a sharp breath.“That level of healing…”“…it’s comparable to a bishop’s.”Another shook his head.“It might even surpass one.”“And he’s only a first-year student.”He couldn’t hide the disbelief in his voice.“If his healing is already this powerful…”“…what will it become after a few more years?”Another instructor frowned.“This is terrifying.”“Doesn’t this mean he practically can’t be killed unless his Mana is exhausted…”“…or he’s killed in a single strike before he has a chance to recover?”Even Carmichael found himself cro

A few moments earlier…The squirrel girl was thrown backward after taking another hit from one of the mummies.She landed lightly and immediately looked across the battlefield.None of the five guardians possessed overwhelming strength on their own. In fact, each of them seemed fairly ordinary. The real problem was how perfectly they worked together.Every time she found an opening, another mummy would step in to cover it.On top of that, Anubis’s golden scale continued suppressing her strength. The longer the fight dragged on, the more noticeable the effect became.This can’t continue.She narrowed her eyes.The scale has to go first.After a brief glance around the battlefield, she made her decision.Without another moment’s hesitation, she burst forward at full speed.The five guardians immediately reacted.Protecting Anubis was their only purpose.The swordsman and the shield-bearing warrior moved to intercept her while the archer and the mage prepared their attacks from behind.T

Meanwhile, Syrax’s battle against the Beetle Queen unfolded in a completely different fashion.Unlike the other fights, this one wasn’t decided through overwhelming strength or close combat.It was a contest of control, positioning, and patience.The Beetle Queen stretched out both arms.One after another, giant beetles appeared around her out of thin air.Each one was at least the size of a human fist.Within moments, dozens of them filled the sky before swarming toward Syrax from every direction.Syrax remained perfectly calm.A miniature sun formed above him.With a gentle flap of his wings, he sent it soaring into the air.The glowing sphere immediately released an intense wave of heat.It spread across the battlefield like an invisible tide.Every beetle caught within its range began burning.Some of them weren’t even close to the sphere itself, yet the overwhelming temperature alone was enough to scorch them.The wave continued expanding until it reached the barrier surrounding
