Leon rarely showed his confident gaze, staring straight at Soma, who kept his silent gaze. Both contestants arrived in the Arena, and a cheer and applause soon erupted.

"It is my honor to have this opportunity to exchange blows with you, Soma".

"Me too, saviour!".

{Okay, finally, the match that we are all waiting for will be started and thus, Instructor Lee, please!!}

With a composed streak, Lee approached both contestants; he glanced at both the kids and urged them to take out their weapons.

Soma, without hesitation, took out the regular equipment, which was only a common gauntlet he received from the first dungeon he visited, which was gifted to him by Mr. Ito.

Looking at that, not only Leon but everyone in the venue was dumbfounded by his act. Lee himself is trying hard not to let his jaw drop.

Meanwhile, Leon, who summoned his expensive equipment, his face grimmed. Seeing the difference Soma had put on him.

Leon glanced at the sword in his hand, a silver longsword with a golden guard and hilt, almost replicating the Savior Sword in his possession.

The sword itself was created from an alloy of some mithril and steel, crafted by the best blacksmith in England, a gift from his grandfather once, and he, for the first time since then, took it to ensure that he would have a good match.

However, as if feeling betrayed, something inside him crept out; it gnawed at his white heart, corroding it using black clouds. Leon, his face knitted, barely holding his anger, almost yelled, but Lee cut it off.

"Soma, are you sure about that?".

"Yeah, I am".

Soma did his final check into the gauntlets before he faced his enemy and Lee with a calm facade.

The fact that he did that unintentionally infuriated Leon and the people who supported his back, mainly his girls, who glared daggers at Soma from the tunnel. Hiding behind them, a silhouette of a dark figure grinned after seeing the sprouted seed she sowed, snickering.

"Why aren't you taking this seriously? Is it because I am not worthy of your whole power?".

The three stood in silence while two pairs of eyes focused their gaze on Soma, who crossed his hands on his chest.

"...Frankly, yes. But, I am happy to foght you here, and I also want to test just how far my newfound power in this math fighting against you, the holder of the Savior crest".

Unconsciously, Leon's grip tightened on his hilt as it leaked. On the side, Lee looked at his two students, showing his mental war before the match even started, which made him sigh in his heart, thinking just how unfortunate this year's new freshmen are because an irregular had appeared in the name of Soma.

"Okay, both good, then return to your position!".

As Lee instructed, Soma turned his back and got himself a good distance from his opponent; meanwhile, Leon probably still had something stuck in his throat, trying to convey something, but he stood stiff.

"Leon!".

Soma's voice was cold, and it mixed a bit with killing intent, which made Leon's entire body quiver in fright. Leon's gaze met with Soma's back, which exuded safe protection and, at the same time, like a mountain summit that couldn't be seen. Sweat started to tickle down his temple.

Leon's heart starts to beat rapidly in constant nervousness. His ears were ringing, focused only on the boy in front of him.

"Show me what you are made of!".

After finishing his word, Soma walked away before turning around. With his eyes closed, he fell into deep focus.

Leon, who caught the figure, hurriedly stepped back, reached a bit distance from his opponent and entered his deep concentration.

"Relax, I can do it! I am already training so hard for this moment. Besides…". Leon catches a glimpse of his girls, which are Tiara and Akane, who keep him company these days, looking at him with a hopeful gaze.

Leon grabbed the sword hilt using both hands and inhaled deeply to clear his mind.

[Skill Serene mind activated]

Inside the second floor of the VIP room, which was filled with important guests from all over the world gathered. In one of the centres, a luxurious seat was erected with golden ornaments and red matt for cushioning.

Sat there a handsome man in his forty, short blonde hair slicked back, with a chiselled face as if carved by god himself. His calm, indifferent blue eyes looked at the Arena, precisely toward Leon.

Standing beside him are two figures: a tall man of 177 cm with short brown hair that acts as his adjutant, standing with composed stature and wearing formal clothes, but it couldn't hide its trained posture.

Beside him was the figure of a lovely girl, Livia, with curly blonde hair that reached her shoulder swayed as she stood fidgeting. She couldn't contain how happy her mind was witnessing her master's moment.

Reluctantly, she glanced to the side toward the figurehead of the Camelot Guild, sitting comfortably with his cold gaze.

Since she was aware of her surroundings and had been served by Leon since childhood, she never found the man beside her to show his warm side once. From what she heard, it started when his wife passed away, and ever since, he never revealed his smile.

Because of that, Leon grew up lacking in a certain aspect a family had; luckily for him, his grandfather is the one who provided that, but alas, his happiness does not last long as the previous head of Camelot guild passed away years ago.

As someone who adores and loves Leon, the man's attitude is greatly displeasing in her eyes, but apparently, she is just a mere servant; even though her family had a reputable status within the country, it still lacked in facing the man.

So, the only thing she could do was support Leon and give him everything he lacked, such as support, comfort, and, more importantly, love.

"...How is he, recently?".

A terrifying, cold tone escapes the man's lips. Livia's body jolts, afraid that her inner heart has leaked.

However, after hearing it thoroughly and seeing the attitude of the man beside her, she gulped her saliva and opened her mouth.

"Yes, recently the young master had trained hard to master the power he had".

"...Is that the Savior thing?".

"Yes".

Livia couldn't care less about it because the only thing that filled her entire brain was to dedicate everything to Leon, but hearing it from Leon seemed the power bestowed by the Gods was quite an ordeal.

Every night, after seeing the match for a certain boy that Leon said was his goal. Leon started his training under the guidance of his senior, named Akane.

Livia felt happy, seeing Leon grow, but at the same time, she felt something hidden had entered deep into their lives, and she still couldn't figure it out, which seemed ominous.

"I see".

The man only said those two words before feeling silent while looking at the Arena he muttered in his heart. "You called me to this place, and expected something from you. I hope you don't disappoint me this time!".

*****

"The match starts!".

Lee's loud announcement brought a deafening cheer that shook the entire venue and, at the same time, witnessed something unbelievable happen.

A blinding light descended upon the Arena where Leon had stood; his whole body was created by a layer of golden aura, which gave everyone who looked at him something Divine.

Because of that, the cheer halted briefly as they basked in the transformation that happened.

However, all of that broke off as Leon, brandishing his sword to the side, announced his challenge.

"Here I come, Soma!".

Soma, who kept practising his breathing techniques, opened his eyes and awakened the stars within him, which fueled him with extraordinary feelings.

It was starkly different from system status. His body felt the abundant raw power that kept gushing out from an indomitable star that shone in crimson colour. The same crimson aura started to coat his body, and, different from Leon's, it was menacing and destructive. It made the arena ground crack just because Soma was shifting his footwork.

Seeing his opponent ready, Leon used his speed only to reach Soma's range with the help of his Savior's crest that shone on his hand.

Leon arrived in front of Soma with his overwhelming speed and swung his sword diagonally from left below.

Soma felt strange from here; he saw the flow of the sword path stretched in front of him and Leon's movement slow down.

From the sharp edge of the sword, using only his backhand that was protected by his gauntlet, Soma concentrated his ura there and gently met the edge with a bit of strength.

A 'clang' echoed, and the spectators saw Leon's figure, which got rebounded by swinging his word backwards and bounced by something.

"What!". Leon muttered.

Leon, who felt confident in his attack, was shocked with his eyes wide open, but he soon recovered and switched his mind by performing a horizontal slash.

However, the result was still the same: Soma effortlessly rebounded Leon's attack, which resulted in a rhyme 'clang' rhythmically echoed every time Leon swung his swords.

"Kuh, Again!". Determined, Leon inhaled deeply and began to rain a relentless attack from every angle the sword could travel.

Soma maintains his position and keeps bouncing the attack, and sometimes, he deflects the sword or dodges its trajectory. However, nothing changes much overall, as Soma still stands in the same place.

Everyone in the venue was dumbstruck by the situation and clearly shocked by the disparity in the students' strength despite still being in the first year.

Being careless, Leon created a significant gap in his attack, making him an easy target for Soma.

For the first time, Soma began to move and shrink his distance from Leon and thrust his left palm that collided with Leon's abdomen, blasting him from the place.

"Is this what you've got?".
