A hazy sky, with thick, fleece-like clouds obscuring the sun, hung over the Knight Academy's arena. A damp and heavy air permeated the space.

In the distance, low rumbles of thunder echoed occasionally across the vast battlefield.

Kuise walked towards Lance with a heavy tread.

Huberly immediately stepped in front of Lance, eyeing Kusé with caution. If Kusé had any intention of attacking, she wouldn't hesitate to put aside her Student Council duties and treat Kusé as an enemy.

Noticing Huberli, Kuuse paused momentarily.

"What's wrong You look great."

Kuse gazed up and down at Hubble, who stood before Lance. His eyes didn't hide the vulgar thoughts churning within him, and he spoke with an aggressive edge.

"……"

Hubert's eyes gradually grew cold.

"By the way, you're the daughter of Duke Mihaela, aren't you"

Kuse seemed to have noticed something, and with a hint of surprise, his tone became even more playful.

"I wouldn't mind, this kind of filth anyway nobody wants, might as well come back to the Alolan Kingdom with me I'll let you experience the power of humanity firsthand."

He laughed loudly after he finished speaking.

The condescending words seemed eager for Huberley to make the first move.

This way, no matter how he fights back or what he does, it won't be his responsibility.

"The Royal Alolan Academy is really a star-studded lineup..."

Even Huberly, whose temper was usually good, started to have veins throbbing on her forehead.

Phoenix, Karen, and Kuse are one heavier than the other.

In this light, Adams is surprisingly normal, looking handsome and refined.

Huibalian endured the anger.

She had grown accustomed to the malice of others.

Right now, she needs to focus on protecting Ranch.

After Kuse's words fell, Lance and Frey were silent for a moment.

They actually have a high tolerance for provocative language.

But only if the other person mocks them both.

They don't care what people say about them.

But Huberly had done nothing wrong; she was the only one in the squad who shouldn't have been slandered.

Finally.

" Huberlianne, I think I understand now the importance of victory and defeat you were talking about."

Lan Qi's expression remained as calm as ever.

But what was unusual was the strange light in his eyes.

He smiled faintly at Kuuse.

This moment of gazing made Kouse hesitate for a moment.

He couldn't tell what kind of unsettling change had come over the creature, which still seemed unaware of the threat.

"What are you talking about A guy who needs protecting by women, just like those fighters"

Kuse quickly took a step forward. No matter what the other party was bluffing, he decided to test the boy's true intentions today!

"Don't move again."

Frey, who had been silent moments ago, now held a hand crossbow aimed at Kuse's brow with his left hand, and three portable alchemical bombs in his right. He warned coldly.

"!"

Suddenly, not only Kuse but also the fighters behind him instinctively took a few steps back.

"You, you fiend!!"

These fighters could still tell just how strong Frey was.

If they were to fight, they wouldn't be afraid of this fifth-tier opponent. But the thing in his hand is too sinister. Without the constraints of rules, he's a pure terrorist and won't care about any codes or martial spirit!

That's how they remained frozen for several seconds.

Well, I'll let you off the hook today.

Cuse, his finger jabbed at the battered bodies of the Icarus Academy fighters littering the ground, grinned savagely.

"But when the official competition starts the day after tomorrow, let's see how you can still protect those wimps."

He then turned around, leading the other fighters towards the outside of the arena, until their figures disappeared.

Heavy, ominous clouds drifted across the sky, and a cold wind made the battle platform at the Knight's Academy arena feel especially deserted. It seemed like rain was about to fall at any moment.

"What kind of person is this!"

Huperlian stomped her feet in anger, feeling terrible.

Although most students at Avalor Royal Academy are polite, there are some like Kuse who are just unpleasant everywhere they go.

She looked at Lanchi, truly envious of his warm exterior and cool interior. No matter how others ridiculed him, he remained calm and composed, like now he would probably just smile and comfort her with a few words, then act as if nothing had happened.

"It's alright."

Lanche reached out and patted Huberlian's head, then walked towards the wounded ahead.

""

Huperlyan stood there, stunned, and raised her hand to touch her hair.

This was the first time she had ever encountered him in her memory.

In her memory, Lonchi never allowed others to get close easily.

On the open ground, Lance stood before the fighters.

"Do you want to win"

With his collar straight and his suit jacket impeccably tailored, Lance surveyed the few bruised and battered fighters lying on the ground. He spoke, his voice level.

"We can't win, there is no hope."

"They are right…"

"Without C'tzi'vi, we're nothing but useless trash!"

The strong men were now dejected, their eyes devoid of light. After two brutal blows, they finally faced the reality.

"Even if, at that time, Tsvizny is surrounded, humiliated, and ultimately seriously injured to the point of being hospitalized and unable to even take the bar exam, it wouldn't matter"

Lan Qi's words were gentle.

But it echoed in the ears of the fighters like a curse, unable to dissipate.

"……"！！

They gritted their teeth upon hearing this.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

knelt on the ground and pounded the earth.

"Kouse will resort to underhanded tactics... Even though Tsulvi is a girl, if Kouse knocks her down, but she refuses to admit defeat, what do you think will happen"

Lan Qi's words were still as gentle as before, like she was narrating a preordained story.

Can you imagine seeing the scene in your mind become a reality

"NOOOOOO!!!"

"Don't!!! "

Just those words alone conjured up a torrent of images in their minds, images so vivid they felt as if they were tearing apart their hearts. Their eyes bulged and they roared in agony.

Their eyes were filled with bloodshot cracks, as if they wanted to swallow Kusé alive.

That's it, Lance stopped his words.

When the roars and wails had gradually subsided, and those eyes stained with tears and blood all stared at him.

If I could give you the ability to defeat Kuse with your own strength, it would only cost a little price. Are you willing to pay it

Lance spoke again.

"I'm willing!!"

Even if it means risking death, even if it means being brought back from the brink, would you still be willing

"No matter the cost, we are willing to do it!! Please help us, Ranch!!"

Their hoarse cries were accompanied by tears of rage.

At this point, Lance finally showed a hint of a smile.

He leaned down and kindly placed his palm on the deputy squad leader's shoulder.

Then, I shall fulfill your wishes.

Lancy whispered.

Hubberly on the side widened her eyes, looking at Lanche who had grasped the determination of victory. A growing sense of foreboding crept into her heart!

To her, Lance was always so reliable. She never doubted that Lance would have her back, but the problem was that this guy could be *too* reliable sometimes!
