James spotted the four students from the Tempris House. The group of them was cheering him on from the audience in high spirits.
“Watch out for the Caelandor. The sword once belonged to Sir Lothar,” Wael muttered to James in a low voice.
James gave a slight nod. Then, he teleported and reappeared on one side of the arena. The other woman teleported to the other side of the arena right opposite James.
Her long, black hair fell over her back. Even though her face was expressionless all this time, she still exuded an aura of grace and elegance.
“Who do you think will win the battle?”
“Wynona Yurro, of course! She’s a legend in the Verde Academy. The Headmaster highly values her abilities and even gifted her the Caelandor Sword.”
“We havenʼt seen her join any battles for epochs. I wonder how much she has grown in terms of power and skills.”
“She must have improved way ahead of her peers by manyfold after having trained on the Boundless Rock for so long. I think only the senior students may stand a chance against her in battle.”
“Nevertheless, James doesnʼt seem like an easy opponent.”
On the other hand, several male students were on their feet and cheering for Wynona.
“You can do it, Wynona!”
“Show him what you’ve got!”
Although the sounds of people cheering and chattering filled the arena, the tension between James and Wynona continued to build up as they stared at each other.
James appeared calm and composed as he stood with his hands on his back. Neither Wynonaʼs beauty nor her reputation in the Verde Academy had affected him in the slightest.
