Imperial Lion

Luke and Ryan stood in the middle of the arena. Professor Kuiver officiated from the side while lots of students gathered to watch the fight.

Most of the students knew Ryan Razael was loud and always caused trouble, but they still believed he would win. After all, Luke only had a piece of armor on one hand.to defend himself. What was that against an actual beast?

"I almost feel bad for him," one noble from Class C laughed. "After Ryan beats him up, I'm going to challenge that failure too."

"Me too," another boy said with a grin. "There should be enough of the Duke's son for all of us."

He then looked at the boy sitting nearby.

"What do you think, Prince Derek?"

Prince Derek didn't laugh with them. He was seated with his legs crossed while the two boys were standing beside him like bodyguards. Nobody questioned why he stayed quiet. Just looking at him was enough to know he was someone important.
