“Rhys wins!” Varyn’s voice rang out sharply across the arena. He gestured toward the staff stationed at the edge of the arena. “Quickly, bring him to the infirmary.”The announcement sent a wave of shock through the spectators. Students scrambled to their feet, eyes fixed on Gaelion as if trying to process what had just happened.“He won?” one whispered.“Impossible…” another muttered.“Isn't that wolf supposed to be weaker than a goblin? That slap alone—he could have killed an orc with it.”The disbelief rippled through the crowd. Most struggled to accept it, but a few composed themselves almost immediately.“So it’s not about talent after all,” Prince Rudeus said, squinting with a sly smile. “Rhys… I’ll have to keep a close eye on him.”Maeve rose quietly and walked away, leaving Rhys’s presence in the corridor. Cade muttered under his breath, eyes still glued to Rhys, “Doing that? You’ve just made enemies—not only Xander, but his family and all the sycophants lining up behind him.”
Chapter 14
Rhys and Xander faced each other in the center of the magical arena set aside for their duel. A sizable crowd of students from the class had gathered, curious to see what this lowly commoner could do against a Valthryne noble.Though Xander’s attitude was arrogant and irritating, no one could deny the strength of his familiar. It towered over Rhys with a presence that radiated malice and power.“I guess commoners think they can challenge nobles because they see themselves as ‘chosen,’” Prince Seth muttered from the sidelines.“Even if Xander isn’t in the absolute top tier, he should easily rank among the top twenty of this class,” Cade added, tilting his head in thought. “Honestly, I expect this to be a one-sided slaughter. What do you think, Maeve? You sit next to him all the time.”Maeve remained silent, her gaze fixed on Rhys, her expression calm but unreadable, as though she already knew something extraordinary was about to unfold.Varyn, standing nearby as the referee, raised his

Rhys idly toyed with the badge pinned to his chest, the polished metal catching the light as his fingers traced its intricate engravings. For some reason, Maeve had been following him all morning.Even after moving to class, she had taken the seat next to him without hesitation.His eyebrows twitched as he finally asked, unable to contain his curiosity, “Why are you following me around?”Maeve glanced at him briefly, her expression unreadable. “We’re going to the same place. Besides, I sat here during the test.”Rhys raised an eyebrow. “During the opening ceremony too? There were plenty of empty seats.”She shrugged. “You were the only one in this row, so I sat here to avoid other students.”He couldn’t argue with that. From a practical standpoint, sitting next to a beautiful girl was far preferable to enduring the chatter of some obnoxious classmate. And Maeve was undeniably attractive, the kind of girl who drew attention just by existing. Being a noble added another layer of complic

“We will now welcome the principal to deliver the opening speech,” the vice principal announced.Rhys lifted his head automatically, curious about the man in charge. Up until now, he had only met the vice principal and had no idea what the principal looked like.The figure who appeared on the stage, however, stunned everyone. It was none other than the old janitor who had given him directions earlier.“Ah!”“Huh?!”A ripple of shock spread through the freshmen. Each reaction different from the other. Some froze, their faces pale with fear, as though they had unwittingly committed some offense. Others stared with admiration, whispers of disbelief trailing behind them. No one could have imagined that the legendary principal would disguise himself as a lowly janitor.His eyes were calm, gentle even, giving an impression of serenity. Yet the words that followed cut through that calm like a blade.“Beast Taming is a divine gift, an ability awakened to protect this world,” he began, his vo

Riva had followed her orders to the letter. She didn’t hold back in the slightest. Whether it was because she had underestimated Rhys at first or because he was stronger than she had anticipated, she fought with everything she had. By the end of their sparring session, Rhys was battered and bruised, every muscle screaming in protest. At the same time, he couldn’t deny that his eyes had reflexively shut at the last second more than once, shutting down before a blow could land. It was an instinct that Riva’s training had slowly forced him to overcome, helping him keep his eyes open even under threat.Once the physical sparring ended, Riva spent the next hour teaching him the fundamentals of Mana Manipulation. Rhys already had some skill with Bloodclaw because of Gaelion’s ability, but the underlying principles of Mana Manipulation remained a mystery. He found himself blaming “compatibility” for his struggles, though in truth, the repeated practice with Bloodclaw had allowed him to gra

"Fifteen minutes." Rhys muttered."You may start at any time you want." Riva remained still.Rhys took a deep breath, trying to find his rhythm. Gaelion also prepared himself. His current form wasn't enough to deal with Riva, so he had to get serious.However, there was one miscalculation that anyone could make regarding Rhys. It was the fact they never expected that his first move was to turn around and run.Yes, he was running away."!!!" All of them widened their eyes in disbelief. Did he just run away?Riva said he needed to last for fifteen minutes. In that case, the best way to achieve it was to run."Where are you going?" Riva hurriedly chased after him."When fighting against an opponent much stronger than me, it's better to run away!" Rhys shouted without turning back."Hahahahaha!" Wyndia was laughing out loud. As she expected, Rhys's way of thinking was surely different."Wait. You can't run away! Your assignment is to fight me!" Riva wanted to use her power to speed up, bu
