Before the 4th set of matches started, the audience once again became rowdy because of Angela's appearance. When Kai and Nathan saw that, even though they didn't expect it, they are used to seeing her so famous.
"Go Light Princess!" Nathan then shouted a nickname he knew she would hate loudly, making Angela angrily look at him. However, before she could continue her death stare, the whole crowd of audience suddenly cheered her using the nickname Nathan gave to her.
"WAHAHAHA! Look at her pale face! Her expression right now is priceless!" Nathan can't stop laughing while slapping Kai's back at the same time.
"Pfft, did you really have to do that? Wahaha she's gonna be so mad at you once we go back to our hotel Hahahahaha!" Kai tried to not laugh while speaking but failed.
Celeste then announced the start of the 4th set of matches amidst the cheering of the crowd. Once the matches started, Kai and Nathan forced themselves to stop laughing and analyzed the battle happening below.
"Even though her opponent is Bronze rank, she will no doubt easily win this," Kai said after looking at the status screen of Angela's opponent.
"Hey Kai, look at that guy with a sword, why is he fighting himself and not using his beast?" - Nathan
When Kai looked at the guy Nathan was pointing out, he immediately looked at his status and was shocked.

Kai wasn't shocked by Lucas's talent, he admits that it is a very very excellent talent in the right hands. Lucas's talent is also a passive talent, which means he doesn't need to conciously be aware that he has that talent to use it. Most of the talents in the world of Komu is active talents, which means they needed to be aware of it before they can use it, examples of it is Kai, Angela, and Nathan's talents. However, there is also passive talents which is always subconciously activated, examples of people who have passive talents are; Celeste and Lucas.
What he is shocked about is the Metal Slime King, the very same sword that he is holding right now. Even though it is weak on its own, as long as it can fuse with Metal Slimes with different attributes, it can theorically have so many attributes at the same time. It might not be so good for other beast tamers, because it isn't good when it comes to offence or defense, but it is the perfect pair for a Sword Genius like Lucas, it's like handing a very experienced hunter like a tiger a pair of wings.
"I.. don't think Angela can win this elimination rounds, the best she could get even if she got lucky and Skye acquire a very strong skill once she breaksthrough to Bronze, is second place." - Kai
"What do you mean?" - Nathan
"See that guy you pointed at? What he's holding isn't a sword but an Epic Metal Slime King." - Kai
"What are you afraid of then? Even if it is a king it's still a Metal Slime." - Nathan
"You really should stop underestimating anyone or any beast, that weak Metal Slime King can fuse with other Metal Slimes and obtain their attributes temporarily." - Kai
"That is a very strong skill, but how is that enough to defeat Angela?" - Nathan
"Remember what I just said? If it is fused with other Metal Slimes it can obtain their attributes temporarily, that means that it can use those attributes to strengthen it's current skills. The skills of that Metal Slime King is Metal Slime Fusion, Shapeshifter, and Sharpness. Do you see how good that guy is with a sword? Imagine the sharp sword he is using right now being coated in either hot flames or cold ice. He can also make the Metal Slimes change shapes to disorient opponents." - Kai
When Nathan heard what Kai said, his eyes widened, even though the last two skills of the Metal Slime is not that special, with Lucas's excellent sword skills, he could be considered as one of the strongest among the test takers in the field right now. If nothing goes very wrong he is guaranteed a spot in the top 2,000.
"See what I mean? There is no weak familiar, there is only weak beast tamer." - Kai
Like Kai predicted even though it was a bit hard, Angela won her match without revealing any more of her capabilities. Lucas also won his match, but he didn't show any of his trump cards in the battle, that's why his battle took longer than Angela's battle.
