A few moments earlier, in a room.

  The room was very large and there were several students with silver to platinum badges. A woman wearing a platinum badge was seen pacing back and forth as if looking for someone.

  "Where did the chairman go? Did you see the chairman?," said the woman to one of the students there.

  "I didn't see him," said the student who was asked.

  "The vice chairman isn't there either, where did they go. Well, I don't really care about the whereabouts of the vice chairman, I have to find the chairman first," said the woman.

  Then a woman with a silver badge approached the woman with the platinum badge. The woman was Nadine Emerald

  "Are you looking for the chairman, miss?," asked Nadine.

  "Nadine, did you see the chairman, Nadine?," asked the woman

  "Earlier I saw him go towards the first year building. But I don't know what the chairman wants to do because I only saw him from afar and didn't meet him," said Nadine.

  "Why did the chairman go to the first year building? Did he want to look for new members there?," said the woman.

  The woman thought for a moment and then seemed to come to a conclusion.

  "I don't know for sure what he's going to do either but it looks like he's going to do something stupid in the first year building. Come on, Nadine, come with me, let's drag that stupid leader ?out of there," said the woman.

  "Okay, miss," said Nadine.

  The two of them rushed to the first year building. While running in the corridor connecting the first year building with the middle building, they met Mr. Alan.

  "Hmmm, what do the two Elevrad members want to do in the first year building? Oh, are you guys looking for your leader?," asked Mr. Alan.

  "Did you see him, sir?," asked the woman.

  "Earlier I watched the daily match between the first year students in the 2nd floor arena with him. But when I wanted to leave the arena, I didn't see him around anymore. I was in a hurry to leave the arena so I didn't have time to check whether he was still in the arena or had left," said Mr. Alan.

  "This information is enough, sir. Let the two of us check it ourselves," said the woman.

  "Alright, then I'll go first. I have urgent business," said Mr. Alan.

  "Yes, thank you sir," said the woman.

  Mr. Alan then rushed off to the location of his business, while the two of them also rushed to enter the first year building. When they had entered the first year building, they rushed to the 2nd floor arena. After arriving on the 2nd floor, they saw their leader competing with a first year student.

  "It seems my guess was right, that stupid leader," said the woman.

  -

  Back to the present.

  "I've been looking for you everywhere but what are you doing here, stupid leader?," said the woman.

  Senior Vyn was thrown until he hit the wall and suddenly 3 women appeared in the arena. Meanwhile, the water dragon that lost its head began to fall and became water again. This incident surprised the students who were watching.

  "The three women who have the same posture and face, so the other two women are clones huh? But I don't know if it's a clone created from some elemental magic or it's 'Mirage Magic', while the disappearing magic used earlier was definitely 'Stealth Magic'," I thought.

  The woman continued to stare at the place where Senior Vyn hit the wall. The place was temporarily filled with dust and smoke. After staring at the place for a while, now the woman looked at me. Not only looking at me, she also looked at Charles and Noa who were locked in the water prison. Then the woman moved her 2 clones towards the water prison that locked Charles and Noa. The water prison was easily destroyed by the 2 clones. Charles and Noa were finally free from the water prison.

  After destroying the two water prisons, the two clones then carried Noa and Charles carefully towards me. Charles and Noa seemed fine and unharmed. Even so, the two clones still carried Charles and Noa carefully. They both seemed to obey when helped by the clones and walked towards me. After bringing Noa and Charles to me, the two clones released some kind of mist/smoke from within their bodies. Slowly, the clones' bodies began to disappear into puffs of smoke.

  The students who witnessed this began to realize that the two women who looked like the other woman were clones.

  "That woman, she can make clones,"

  "Judging from the platinum badge she's wearing, she must be very strong like the leader of Elevrad,"

  "Are all fourth-year students that strong?," said the other students.

  After the clone disappeared, the woman approached us.

  "It seems like our leader has caused you trouble. I would like to apologize on behalf of our leader," the woman said.

  "Leader? Are you also a member of Elevrad, senior?," I asked.

  I used senior because I knew she was my senior just by looking at her badge.

  "Ah, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Gretta Schwartz. I am currently the secretary of Elevrad," the woman said.

  "Gretta Schwartz? I have never heard of that name," Charles said.

  "Of course, my family is not a noble whose name should be remembered by a prince. My family is just ordinary people, although my family is quite well-off," said Gretta's senior.

  "Even though she is not a noble, her magic skills can be said to be equal to or even exceed those of nobles. Besides making clones and 'Stealth Magic' earlier, she must have other abilities," I thought.

  "What are you doing, Gretta? Attacking me like that. What if I get badly hurt from your attack earlier?," said senior Vyn who suddenly spoke behind the smoke where he hit the arena wall.

  "Don't be so exaggerated, leader. I know you weren't even hurt at all from that attack," said senior Gretta.

  Senior Vyn then appeared from behind the smoke dust. And as senior Gretta said, he looked fine after being suddenly attacked like that.

  "You just interrupted my fight," said senior Vyn.

  "At least if you don't want your fight to be interrupted, do it in a daily match. But seeing you who are focused on chasing points, it seems like you are not interested in doing a daily match with students in the year below you," said senior Gretta.

  "So you know that my fight just now was not a daily match. But yes, you are right, I am not interested in doing a daily match with other years because even if I win the points I get are small," said senior Vyn.

  "Excuse me for interrupting, it is true that fourth-year students can graduate by collecting 150,000 points, but haven't you all tried another way to graduate? That is by defeating the warrior commander," I said.

  "You have to understand, Rid Archie. The warrior commander level is already on a very different level. Although you think we fourth-year students are very strong, the warrior commander is even stronger. I have witnessed their abilities in a training and their abilities can indeed be said to be beyond reason. That's why so far there has never been a fourth-year student who has graduated by winning against a warrior commander," said senior Vyn.

  "I see," I said.

  "Huh, so you are the one named Rid Archie. A first-year student who got perfect scores on all three entrance exams. No wonder leader wants to try to fight you. But unfortunately, leader, your game time is up and now you have to come with us to return to the Elevrad room," said senior Gretta.

  "Yeah, yeah, okay. It was really exciting earlier," said senior Vyn.

  "You say that but look at what you did to this arena. With your power, you even flooded this arena," said senior Gretta.

  "I didn't do that. This arena was flooded because of the match between Rid Archie and Prince Charles," said senior Vyn.

  "A match between first-year students to make the arena like this?," said senior Gretta who was a little surprised.

  "Judging from the entrance exam rankings, Rid Archie is ranked 1st and Prince Charles is ranked 3rd. The match between the top 3 in the first year I think it's natural to make the arena like this," said senior Vyn.

  "It seems you're right, leader. Judging from the condition of the two of you, it seems like Rid Archie won, but wait, looking at his condition, isn't the prince's injury quite severe. You're so cruel, leader, letting the prince be locked up when he's in that condition," said senior Gretta.

  Senior Gretta didn't know that I had actually healed Charles.

  "Come here, prince, let me heal you," said senior Gretta who approached the prince.

  - Heal -

  Senior Gretta began to heal the prince's wounds. I was a little surprised because the senior could also use healing magic. Charles' wounds had indeed healed because I healed them, but the blood-like stains that stuck to Charles' body had also disappeared. This time Charles looked completely recovered.

  "It's done," said Senior Gretta with a smile.

  "Th-thank you, senior," said Charle.

  Even after treating Charles, Senior Gretta had not realized that Charles had recovered from his wounds from the start.

  "Let's go now, Gretta," said Senior Vyn.

  "Okay," said Senior Gretta.

  Before leaving, Senior Vyn turned and looked at me.

  "Rid Archie, the match just now is not over because someone interrupted and I also can't challenge you in the daily match. But I look forward to a serious match between you and me, in the Academy tournament," said senior Vyn.
