When she noticed the emblem on their chests, her expression immediately darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you people from Karlo City want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain of the Karlo team was a young man with chestnut-colored long hair. His eyes were sharp like a hawk’s, scanning Akura’s body as if she were prey, and he couldn’t help licking the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akura... do you want to become my prey?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akura’s expression sank even further. The two lackeys behind her rushed forward at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as they were about to erupt and start hurling insults, Akura raised her hand to stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wary look, she stared at the long-haired young man ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lory Blade. If you came here just to humiliate me, then congratulations—you’ve already succeeded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But whatever lies between us, I don’t want you dragging other people into it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lory gave a wicked smile, madness flashing in his eyes. He raised his index finger and waved it lazily in front of Akura and her group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, no, Akura. You’re not that important to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I didn’t come here for you either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, his gaze passed over Akura and landed on the two lackeys behind her. He deliberately put on a look of mock sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two... how pitiful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Getting tangled up with someone as ill-omened as Akura—looks like you’re in for some serious bad luck this time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two lackeys behind Akura immediately bristled. They glared at Lory, grinding their teeth in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard! How dare you bully Captain Akura?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we weren’t here for the Ranked Match, I’d challenge you right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lory from Karlo City, right? I’ll remember you! After this Ranked Match, I’ll teach you a proper lesson!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the instructor from Mylanne High School walked over with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave Lory a long, hard look, then shifted his gaze toward a one-eyed teacher standing in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Joseph, what happened last time really was a misunderstanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We already apologized to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really have to keep pressing the issue this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one-eyed teacher sneered and stepped out of the shadows on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You people from Mylanne City are all brainless idiots. I honestly don’t understand how, after making such a mistake, you still have the nerve to participate in the Ranked Match. Absolutely shameless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll represent everyone and give your students a proper lesson—and it’ll be free of charge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the one-eyed teacher snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Lory and his group withdrew on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the expression of Mylanne High School’s instructor did not ease in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fists clenched tightly, and an unprecedented mix of humiliation and rage appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akura, and all of you students—during the upcoming Ranked Match, you must be extremely careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Above all, you need to strengthen your mental resolve. Do not let any outside influences shake you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the rest, you don’t need to care. Mylanne City may be foolish—but we owe nothing to anyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the very back of the team, Caelan silently watched everything unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what kind of grudge existed between Mylanne City and Karlo City—but honestly, he didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, it was all just a one-hit kill and earning gold coins. Why make such a big deal out of it??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, those were old grudges. What did they have to do with this current team anyway?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akura nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From here on, please place your trust in us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone—follow me through the teleportation gate and enter the Ranked Match!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Individual Match was divided into a preliminary round and a semifinal round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The preliminary round consisted of three stages, with half the participants eliminated at each stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, over thirty teams participated. Counting all individual contestants, there were roughly four hundred competitors in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant that after the preliminary round ended, only fifty people would advance to the semifinal round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his students enter the teleportation gate one after another, the instructor couldn’t help but pray silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great God of Victory, Wenlan—please protect these children and keep them safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After experiencing a brief period of weightlessness, Caelan finally set foot on solid ground again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively scanned his surroundings and discovered that he was standing on an enormous arena—easily the size of two football fields!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite him stood a contestant bearing the emblem of Lannis City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, someone from Mylanne City, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, looks like you’re in for a rough time today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan frowned. He could clearly feel the hostility directed at him. But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere level-46 scrub—who gave him the courage to challenge me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t bother talking to trash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have one chance to forfeit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lannis City contestant: \"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, countless flashes of sword light flooded his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan calmly sheathed his sword, and a countdown prompt appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Matching next opponent. Countdown: 10... 9... 8...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of strength do you think you have, showing off in front of me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few seconds later, another figure appeared before Caelan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one was from Ironcrest City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... why was this guy also staring at him with such blatant hostility?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, whatever. Why think so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan raised his sword again and casually swung it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the opponent was neatly sliced into several pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All things considered, not even a full minute passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan’s figure reappeared in the same lounge as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Caelan suddenly return, the instructor let out a deep sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Caelan could even speak, the instructor stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder in consolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caelan, you don’t need to take it to heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you lost, it wouldn’t matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These cowardly people don’t dare swing their blades at the strong. They only know how to pour all their resentment onto Mylanne City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you tried your best. It’s fine even if you lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caelan blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...
