"… Na. I mean, his intelligence surpasses mine, and he's a natural at Mana Control, I'll give him that. But…"
Kuzon formed a wry smile, something that Kahn would have scoffed at but now dreaded.
"… He's still inferior to me. Well, I guess I have my superior bloodline to thank for that."
Kahn gulped slightly. It wasn't that he was afraid, but caution was something he had learned over the years. He refused to be careless.
"So, no. I suppose I'm the strongest student. Even among Lecturers, there are only very few I have to fear…"
Kahn suddenly remembered that the 'partner' he was collaborating with had mentioned a name to him. Perhaps this was a chance to see just how much truth dwelled in his words.
"What about the Lecturer, Neron Kaelid?"
"Pfft. Puehehehe. Puahahahahahaha!!!" Kuzon burst out laughing.
It wasn't the usually composed laughter that one would expect from someone of his personality. No, it was more like a child's.
