It did not take long. In a short fifteen minutes, a crowd of new cadets had rushed into the Battle Arena, marking the first time that most of them were there. They all took their places on the mezzanine floor, studying Nero and trying to guess how strong he really was.
Most of them guessed that he would be a pretty good fighter. It did not take much to pair his overwhelming performance on the first day with his extremely confident challenge and then come to the conclusion that he was confident in his own abilities. However, pretty good was not good enough to deter them.
As Kolaris, and especially as Kolaris who had harboured the ambition to join the army and lead soldiers, they were not afraid of a challenge, nor were they intimidated by strong opponents. If that alone was enough to intimidate them then they would have never made it to KMA to begin with!
