For a single second, the massive arena was completely silent.
"WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH?!"
Until the crowd suddenly exploded.
A young nobleman in the front rows stood up so fast that his chair toppled over. His face was red with pure excitement as he pointed at the screen.
"He took down four 4th-year elites in under fifteen seconds! Kaels Iron Body is supposed to be nearly unbreakable! Lyria is the fastest student in Dragon Slaying Academy! And he just… walked through all of it!"
An older professor from a mid-tier academy shook his head in disbelief, rubbing his temples.
"That wasn't a fight. That was a demonstration. He didn't even use a named technique. He just… dealt with them. One by one. Like they were training dummies."
In the student seating area, a group of 3rd-year students from a smaller academy were screaming at each other.
"Did you see how he ran up the stone spikes?! He treated Torren's Mountain's Wrath like a staircase!"
