In a big sized hall, all the top 10 were resting and trying to heal their injuries and revert to their peak condition. Most of them including Luna and Lucas were meditating and cultivating their spiritual energy.
Tim Clove with his head held high approache Luna.
He gazed at her body shamelessly with eyes full of lust.
"You have a good talent and good affinity towards the thunder element," he said. "Good... very good. In future you can work for me."
Tim talked, no ordered Luna, as if he was a supreme existence casually talking to an ant. For him, his arrogance knew no bounds.
His only thought that a commoner like Luna, would be in extreme delight to hear him saying that she could work for him, for Tim Clove.
Not only was Luna an extremely talented individual but a top tier beauty. Tim wanted to get his hands in her. He wanted to make Luna serve for him as his faithful servant.
Not far away from them, Lucas heard all this and a frown formed on his face. He was about to step forwards when Luna raised her eyes signaling Lucas to back down. He sighed in annoyance at his twin sister but did moved further.
Luna did not want to waste her time and energy on such useless things and people just before the main battle.
"In that case, I must show some of skills if we come face to face in the upcoming battles," said Luna with a smile on her face but the mockery in her tone was clear to everyone except one person.
Drowned in his arrogance, Tim was unable to feel the subtle mockery he was subjected to. He chuckled and smiled feeling very pleased. He really felt that Luna would try to please him more by showing her skills. After all, getting close to him and to the Clove family was a thing that commoners could only dream.
With the same arrogance plastered over his face, Tim moved towards Iris. Though she had shown not as dominating strength as Luna but winning the stage battle was not a small feat. In addition to that, what Tim desired the most was beautiful and attractive faces.
"You also have good talent," declared Tim. "But you definitely lack resources. In future, when you follow me with the resources I will provide, your strength will definitely improve further."
Iris unlike Luna did not show any kind of reaction. She continued sitting without any change of expression. Her eyes remained close and she continued her cultivation and tending to her injuries.
Tim was extrenely displeased at being ignored but he had that much brain to understand that he should not create troubles in the care of Star Sky Academy.
He clenched his fist and made a mental note of this incident.
He moved one side and started to cultivate.

In one of the VIP room Fexon and Felix, the two Clove brothers were sitting on the second row of the seats. In the first row, directly in front of the window glass, a matured lady was sitting leisurely.
Her eyes were pure black in colour while her hair was in complete contrast to her eyes. Pure white. Dressed in pure white robes she was the epitome of pure beauty.
Though her presence was ordinary, the two brothers did not dare to act recklessly in front of her.
"Miss Snowfall, Tim is really talented. What do you think about it?" Fexon broke the silence with his question.
The lady didn't respons immediately. After few moments of silence, her sweet and calm voice sounded, "What business you have Mr. Clove?"
Fexon stiffend at his son and his question being ignored so blatantly. But he dared not to throw a rage.
He calmed his nerves and took control over his emotions. With a deep breath, he began, "Miss Snowfall, what has been hidden from you? You must have heard of Amden's talent and Clara Vantistart's advancement to SSS Rank."
"And then?" Responded Miss. Snowfall in a nonchalant tone.
Fexon went silent. His words though not direct but held clear indication about what he wanted to say but the lady's act of ignorance made him like a clown. He fumed in his heart but outwardly kept neutral face.
He gritted his teeth and continued, "The Vantistarts are getting too strong. This will change the power balance."
The lady again remained silent for few moments. The two brothers thought that Miss. Snowfall was contemplating the issue and only hoped for a positive outcome.
Fexon was about to speak something more to persuade Miss. Snowfall when the VIP room was suddenly drowned in darkness. In addition to darkness, the temperature in the room also plummeted down and started to turn frigid.
The two brothers who could dominate cities on their own felt their body parts, their organs and even their blood freezing.
Anxiety and extreme fear tooo over their bodies and they were gasping for breath.
"Fexon, I am letting you go this one time," resounded the chilly voice of Miss. Snowfall. Her voice was like stabs of knife making cuts on the skin of the two brothers.
She continued, "Don't assume that I don't understand your scheme of using me against the Vantistarts. Next time you try to pull something like this with me, I will have your head in my hands. Deal with your problems on your own."
The next moment the darkness and the freezing cold disappeared from the room. The two brothers were back to their normal condition and could finally breath properly.
The looked ahead to see that Miss. Snowfall had now disappeared from the place she was sitting in. Seeing her presence no more, they finally felt the fear leaving their bodies.
Fexon immediately cursed in rage, "That bitch. What does she think of herself? Treating us like this. One day I will make her pay."
