"Next time, the match won't be a draw."



Everyone who heard of Lesjon's words were confused. They all saw the battle and how the young master of Beryldot wasn't able to defend himself from the flames after the explosion.

Among all of them, Naell was the one who was truly surprised. As the one who had consistently been on the receiving end, he never even considered the possibility of a draw. Only upon thinking back did he realize what had really transpired.

"Naell's teacher in his estate was known for his snow magic. Specifically, spells that could very well bury you in snow." Moni was the one who explained seeing all her student's reactions.

Even Suna's student heard why it was a draw but not because of the professor, but because of Andrew's explanation.

" [ Snowified ] was a technique mastered by the head butler in the Berlydot estate. My parents told me how formidable it was."

Rinca and Namiku were feeling perplexed seeing the fight, but for a different reason. If someday they would have to face the villainous Naell, neither of them were certain that they would beat the young master without a scratch.

Nonetheless, the changes Naell had demonstrated when it came to his personality and abilities were immensely different from the old him, yet only Rinca was the one having a hard time accepting that fact.

Due to Namiku's status as the Easterside's princess (and her immense curiosity towards the mysterious young master), she had no difficulty in hiring investigators to spy on Naell.

From what they had gathered, not only did Naell not cause any trouble during the course of his stay, but he had even discreetly brought a group of syndicates to justice, without killing a single one.

Furthermore, Naell had so willingly refused to be accredited for his deeds, that he had even asked the guild and the authorities to hide his identity.

Yet that too was not the end of the young master's weird-but-not-wrong doings, as he had also isolated himself. Frequenting only the library, and the canteen, he had left himself with few interactions with the young master of Genoja, and of course, Owly.

With all the discussions going on, Naell was the only one who was silent as his thoughts were elsewhere.



'I guess you don't remember.'



Earlier in the battle, he thought he heard those words coming from Lesjon, yet due to the fast-paced battle he could not really confirm it.



"It is nice to see you again Na-ell."



Nevertheless, the last phrase had really caught Naell off guard. Something was telling him that there was more to his old self than he initially thought.



'I mean that's not my problem anymore... Hopefully.' Reassuringly he thought as he stood up and walked to the crowd.

Other matches were not as exciting as the previous bouts. They were also excellent, but lacked the finesse Naell and the rest exhibited.

Still, the last battle caught everyone's eyes, as the other student who also refuses to attend Mony's class--- April, was performing magnificently.

From the very beginning, all her movements were planned, yet she was capable of changing things to her advantage. Her usage of fire and earth magic were a combination of quick barrages of small flames, to well hidden earthly traps.
