Kyle's first opponent was Jake, who held the 5th rank in the class ranking. After receiving the go signal from Professor Liam, the one overseeing stages five and six, he glanced at Jake from the corner of his eye.
'A lance user?'
Despite Jake being the same rank as him, he did not feel intimidated. The long, spear-like weapon in Jake's hands looked a little heavy, and that's the only thing Kyle was focused on.
-'You can defeat him because I can sense he is weaker than you.'
Bia's familiar voice echoed in his head, and he quickly glanced at the little bird sitting in the audience seats. Kyle would be lying if he said he wasn't surprised. He attacked Jake while conversing with Bia.
'Do you have a skill that tells if the opponent is strong or weak?'
He was hoping for a positive response because if she had such a skill, it could save him a lot of trouble. However, his hopes were dashed with cold water.
-'No, I just guessed.'
