Round after round took place, each time the contestants stepped down from the platform, Milo was left with a dissatisfied look on his face. None of them had even managed to come close to Agaris and Pavlor. All that most of the kids could do was muster basic elemental attacks and sometimes conjure weaponry.
Anything beyond that, things such as power, precision and combat ability were an afterthought. It was like he was watching two new-born fawns squabbling with one another over food. It seemed the kids themselves were also growing aware of the gap between them and Agaris.
The fact that even after their victories, each time they stepped down they batted an eye towards Agaris and ended up frowning told Milo all that he needed to know.
In his mind, it was going to be him vs Agaris in the final. This wasn't down to arrogance or confidence; it was just the only logical solution he could see.
