Meanwhile, Seo remained unfazed.
As she calmly gathered mana, she infused it throughout her body, enhancing her physical abilities and coating her blade with a shimmering aura before it was even drawn.
There was no hesitation in her movements—just practiced precision and control.
Her every action was a testament to her discipline as a warrior.
Kagami was strong, but Seo only needed a single glance at his stance to predict the outcome of their match.
She didn't doubt his resolve or skill, but she could already sense how this battle would unfold.
It wasn't arrogance—just the calm awareness that came from being leagues ahead of her opponent. Despite this, Seo held a quiet respect for Kagami.
It wasn't every day she faced someone who came from a martial family as honorable as his.
Every student competing in the matches knew that, to some extent, they were expected to put on a spectacle for the crowd.
