*BOOM* With a soul-shaking rattle, the force of Lyrian's punch tore through the wind tornado and slammed into Silvus, making his eyes roll back into his head as he was sent flying across the arena. As he landed, he coughed up blood trying to refill his lungs with the air that Lyrian's punch rushed out. An opponent on the floor was enough for the other side to claim victory, so as the fight announcer stumbled with his words, in shock, he stammered loudly. "Wi-winner! We have a winner! Lyrian…-

In the next seconds, Silvus' almost nonchalant face from before morphed into one full of anger and humiliation. "You! What did you say to me!?" He yelled out, raising his voice for the first time in this manner, not being able to control himself. "How dar--" Again, Silvus was cut off, but this time not by Lyrian. "Begin." Zysrial calmly spoke from his throne, seeing Silvus start to become too flustered. His younger brother's heart immediately sank into his chest as he heard Zysrial speak. Slowly,…

After his loss, Endra was left shocked and confused, a mix of anger, disappointment, and bewilderment filling his expression. Endra wasn't like other high-status nobles who cared about his superiority or bloodline. All he wanted was to make his family proud by achieving many accomplishments in Anaviotis, eventually becoming the heir to the family head. But, even with all the expectations bound on his shoulders and aspirations, he lost to a no named kid. There were no retakes to Anaviotis. Now, his…

Finally, there was a fight he was actually interested in for once. As the two fighters made their way to the stage, Lyrian noticed that Leonidas' face was still as stoic as he remembered from his camp. He grasped the hilt of his sword, preparing for battle. However, as Endra also made his way to the arena, Lyrian noticed something different about one of the two. Unlike Endra, who you could clearly sense possessed magic, Leonidas didn't have any mana exuding from him. This alone caused some of the…

Hearing the young master speak, many high-status nobles who followed his every step celebrated his words. "Hell yeah!" "The young master is right! We are the apex predators!" They yelled, their egos inflated. "Yeah, you're right! No matter how much of a black sheep you are, you're still a pathetic little sheep born from your sheep parents!" A boy quite close to Lyrian yelled in the heat of the moment. "What did you say?" Lyrian immediately spoke out, offended by the disrespect towards his…

"The winner of the race is!" The race announcer began to declare, standing at the finish line next to Julius. "Silvus Yaltan!" "... Hahaha! I knew it! There was no way that peasant could have won!" A kid who had recently finished the race laughed. Many other kids had relived reactions, the announcer assuring them that royalty could never truly lose. This not only affirmed their faith in Silvus but also in their own blood--to think that they were better than peasants with no noble bloodline. Silvus…

'What!? No wonder they were running so quickly,' Lyrian thought to himself on hearing what Julius said. 'I might as well be the first one to get there. There isn't any merit in avoiding prizes after all.' With this, Lyrian firmed his feet on the ground, positioning himself to burst out into a full-blown sprint, before finally dashing forward. The serious faces of the kids farther behind turned perplexed as they saw the blur of a figure whiz past them in an instant, their eyes widening in shock. In a…

Trying to ignore the several kids that continued to try and talk to him, Lyrian began to eat once again. Although his mood was now slightly disturbed by the people coming up to him, the food still tasted as good as ever. Once finished, he entered several extra plates of food into the new storage ring that he received from the magic potential test and returned back to camp, as other people also began leaving the cookout and going back to their camps as well. As soon as he stepped into the door and…

Hearing Lyrian, kids nearby nearly fainted from shock. There wasn't a written rule that stated talking like this within the supreme royal family's presence was a crime, but everyone already knew to not do so anyways. There were many instances in the past where people got their tongues cut off, prison time, and even the death penalty for disrespecting the presence of the Yaltan family. Of course, Lyrian didn't have a clue about any of this, and nor did he really care. To him, seeing another person, let…

Amidst the prize distribution, Julius took center stage once again and addressed the gathered crowd, his voice ringing out with excitement. "Congratulations not only to these exceptional individuals but also to each and every one of you for successfully passing the magic potential test!" His words elicited a collective cheer from the audience. "I know you're all eagerly anticipating the preliminary rounds tomorrow, but before we dive into the entrance exam, I want to grant you a day of well-deserved…
