"And if you are interested in joining Elevrad, you can come to the Elevrad room on the 7th floor of the middle building," said senior Vyn.

  "Then, we'll excuse ourselves," said senior Gretta.

  Senior Vyn and senior Gretta slowly walked towards the audience seats.

  "Leader, you actually just wanted to compete with Rid Archie, right? You even brought up the excuse of wanting to invite him to Elevrad and didn't even accept an answer other than agreeing to the invitation," said senior Gretta.

  "What is your reason for saying that?," asked senior Vyn.

  "Well, I think it's strange to see you forcing a first-year student to become a member of Elevrad, even though the academy learning for first-year students has only been going on for 2 days. With their time only being in this academy for 2 days, don't they need to adapt? So I think it's natural if there are students who are not yet willing to join Elevrad. And again, if the student invited by Elevrad still refuses to join Elevrad, Elevrad should not force the student to continue joining even though the student is very talented," said senior Gretta.

  "Well you're right, after watching Rid Archie's match against Prince Charles, for some reason I wanted to try fighting him. After the match was over, I approached him and invited him to join Elevrad. Indeed, Elevrad members are not allowed to force students to join Elevrad, but I forced Rid Archie to join Elevrad. I know that even if I force Rid Archie to join, his answer will definitely still be unwilling. So after that I decided to attack him first as a 'punishment' for refusing my invitation. And that was the beginning of my match with him," said senior Vyn.

  "You really went too far, leader," said senior Gretta.

  "But the invitation was not a pretense, I also wanted Rid Archie to join Elevrad. His abilities must be useful for Elevrad," said senior Vyn.

  "Well considering he is the first ranked student in the first year, it is clear that he must be more talented than other first year students. What is your assessment of him after the match earlier? asked senior Gretta.

  "Well even though the match was only short. But I know that he is very strong. He even destroyed many of my creations," Senior Vyn stated.

  "Come to think of it, I don't see any wounds on his body. Didn't you manage to land a single attack on him, leader?," Senior Gretta asked.

  "I managed to land an attack on him, but he wasn't injured because of it. He also wasn't injured in his match against Prince Charles," Senior Vyn said.

  "Maybe his body's defense is very strong. So even if you managed to attack him, he wouldn't be easily injured," Senior Gretta said.

  "Hmmm I don't know, maybe he has something else that makes him not easily injured. I'm really looking forward to fighting him again in the academy tournament," said senior Vyn.

  "You were the champion of the male student match in your third year in the tournament yesterday, are you going to try to win it again in your fourth year?," asked senior Gretta.

  "Of course, I'll win the tournament again," said senior Vyn.

  Senior Vyn and senior Gretta had arrived at the audience area and were now approaching senior Nadine who was holding her long gun. I just realized that there was senior Nadine waiting in the audience area near the stairs because all this time I had only been focused on senior Vyn and senior Gretta.

  "That gun, don't tell me that senior Nadine was the one who destroyed the water dragon's head," I thought.

  I saw senior Vyn and senior Gretta talking to senior Nadine.

  The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

  "So you were the one who destroyed my dragon's head, Nadine," said senior Vyn.

  "I'm sorry, leader. I was just following miss Gretta' order," said senior Nadine.

  "Okay, it's okay. Okay, let's go now, you said that I was told to return to the Elevrad room. "I must be busy with assignments right now," said senior Vyn.

  "Well, you'll find out for yourself, leader," said senior Gretta.

  Senior Vyn and senior Gretta went towards the stairs. Meanwhile, senior Nadine seemed to be looking towards the arena. Her gaze seemed to be focused on one person.

  "For some reason, senior Nadine's gaze seemed to be directed at me," I thought.

  After looking towards the arena for a while, senior Nadine turned around and left following senior Vyn and senior Gretta.

  -

  The Elevrad members came out of the arena, while the students looked excited and started to talk about the situation that happened earlier.

  "I can't believe that this arena has 2 fourth-year students,"

  "They are both very strong, especially the Elevrad leader. He can create many creations from water. It seems like he can also create many creations from other elements,"

  "No wonder if we win against the fourth-year students, we will get 1000 points. The difficulty is very high to win against students like them,"

  "The female student with the silver badge who carried the gun also seemed very strong,"

  "She was the one who resolved the tension between Princess Amelia and the Ice Princess yesterday," said the students.

  "Finally the Elevrad leader left, as usual he always does whatever he wants. Are the three of you okay?" said the supervisor Elgin who approached us.

  "Yes, we're okay, Charles was injured because of my match but has been healed by Senior Gretta," I said.

  "I see, well if the three of you are okay, quickly return to the audience seats. This arena will be returned to its original state," said the supervisor Elgin.

  "Okay, supervisor," I said.

  The three of us walked back to the arena. Charles and Noa did not seem to have any injuries, but for some reason they both looked gloomy.

  "What's wrong with you two? Why are you so gloomy?," I asked.

  "You know that the leader of Elevrad locked us in a water prison earlier?" said Charles.

  "Well I saw it, he locked you up so that you wouldn't interfere in his business. Besides, he didn't attack you while you were locked in the water prison," I said.

  "Well that's true, maybe you don't know but I tried to get out of the water prison myself," said Charles.

  "I also tried to get out of the water prison with my own strength and then after that I intended to help you," said Noa.

  "But the water prison is very hard. It looks like liquid water but it's actually very hard," said Charles.

  "Charles is right, I tried to destroy the prison but I couldn't," said Noa.

  "While Elevrad's secretary, senior Gretta, easily destroyed the water prison just by relying on her clone. If her clone is that strong, what about herself," said Charles.

  "So you're depressed because you can't escape from the water prison and you can't save me?," I asked.

  Then they both nodded.

  "I don't have a problem with that, just relax," I said.

  "But Rid, if something like that happens again and we are required to save someone but we are unable to save that person because we are weak. What should we do?," asked Charles.

  "The answer is easy, right? Become strong, stronger than you are now. Honestly, you are comparing yourself to the wrong people. They are stronger than you because they have been in this academy for almost 4 years, they have more experience and the knowledge they have gained in this academy is also more than you who have only studied in this academy for 2 days. If you continue to train and learn techniques from now on, when you are in the same year as the two of them, you will definitely match their strength or even exceed their strength. In fact, you don't need to be gloomy about the difference in your strength that is too far, make it a motivation so that you can be like the two of them," I said.

  "Well, it seems like you are right Rid, this is very embarrassing even though I am the prince of this country," said Charles.

  "Relax, everyone has an embarrassing side," I said.

  "I also realized, it seems like I am gloomy because this is the first time I have seen someone strong who makes me unable to do anything," said Noa.

  "It's natural when you see someone stronger than you, what you have to do from now on is change your perspective when you meet someone stronger," I said.

  "You're right, Rid. Thank you for the advice," said Noa.

  "Thank you too, Rid," said Charles.

  "Enough already, I look like a parent advising their child," I said.

  "You're our teacher after all," said Noa.

  "Stop that," I said.

  "Hahaha, by the way, what was your impression when you fought with the Elevrad leader, Rid?" asked Charles.

  "The match was only short but I know that the Elevrad leader is very strong. I haven't even been able to attack him directly. I was too busy with his creations," I said.

  "I see, even you think that the Elevrad leader is very strong," said Charles.

  "Then what about the invitation of the Elevrad chairman about the match in the tournament later, will you accept it?," asked Noa.

  "Of course, no matter how strong he is. I will win against him in the tournament later," I said.
