"King Kladus, can that kid really fight that colossal monster?" Taheel asked worriedly.
Kladus knew Bowen was a magic warrior of E rank, with power slightly above his own. But would Bowen truly be able to take on the beast? He could only hope for luck. Perhaps Bowen's teacher would arrive soon to help with the situation.
Not only Kladus but everyone watching the scene was doubtful of a positive outcome. Even Shira and Diana, who had seen Bowen's previous battles, stood anxious. Shira wanted to jump in and fight alongside Bowen, yet she couldn't bring herself to hate him. It frustrated her somehow.
Xander, on the other hand, felt ashamed and scared. If Bowen got injured in this battle, his master, Lord Fate, would definitely punish him. As a slave, his position and importance were below a disciple like Bowen. He resolved to save Bowen, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.
