Liora and Lucius were left in the hall. Liora then looked at Lucius and asked, as she was curious, "What do you think about the class, Master?"
Lucius stood and began to leave the class and said, "It is indeed efficient and faster and also revolutionary to add, but I think their methods were lacking depth."
Lucius then began to explain his thought. "They prioritize speed and efficiency, sacrificing potential. Although it is clever, it pales in comparison to my perfect method."
Lucius then concluded his thought. "The conclusion is that Astra's Evolists may be better than most evolists, but they're all the same low-end Evolists."
Liora soon understood while walking behind Lucius. "I see it now, Master. You are really the perfect one. No one can compare to you."
Lucius only chuckled after hearing it as they left the hall to return to their residence in the golden complex.
But, as they almost arrived at the golden complex, they were immediately blocked by a group of students. The leader stood at the front and looked at Lucius arrogantly.
Liora immediately stepped forward and readied her claws as she positioned herself between Lucius and the group.
She also immediately told Lucius about the leader of the group: "Master, the one who leads the group is Kaelix, the former occupant of your residence."
Lucius looked at Kaelix, who was now glaring at him. He then smirked as he saw Kaelix, who looked weak and also not that handsome.
Kaelix then stepped forward and pointed his finger at Liora while shouting angrily toward her, "I have finally found you, bitch!"
He then turned toward Lucius and sneered, "And you must be the lucky orphan that Volcaria adopted and luckily managed to enter Astra."
Lucius was confused after hearing him. "Lucky?" It seems that Ragnar has kept my position within the family a secret. Interesting." Lucius smirked as he thought that.
Kaelix only sneered as he looked at Lucius' face. "Don't get cocky, fake Volcaria. Your place here is undeserved, and I'll make sure you know it."
Lucius only smirked after hearing him. "Oh, I see. Kaelix, was it? You are saying that I do not deserve to be here but your residence is mine now, so doesn't that say enough about who truly deserves to be here?"
Kaelix immediately became angry as he heard that and clenched his fists and shouted, "Damn you, you arrogant fake Volcaria! I'll teach you your place in this academy!"
He gestured to the group behind him and shouted, "Attack! Make sure this imposter and his pet regret ever setting foot here!"
Lucius, who heard him, didn't flinch at all. Instead, he turned toward Liora and smirked as he commanded her, "Try not to kill them, Liora. Instead, make them learn what it means to go against us."
Liora smirked as she prepared her claws. "As you wish, Master. I will make sure to let them know their place and also beg me to let them die." Liora said as she stepped forward to meet the attackers excitedly.
Kaelix's group wasted no time as they immediately summoned their own beasts to attack Lucius and Liora. The beasts soon appeared from the portals and they were all 2-Star beasts.
An Aqua Crab appeared with its thick shell and beside it, a Flame Snake appeared also with its hot scales. In the air, two bird beasts appeared, which were Ligthing Hawk and Wind Falcon.
Lucius was curious about their power so he immediately scanned their stats using his system. The system soon showed him the status of the beasts.

Lucius almost laughed after looking at their stats, which were way lower than Liora. He then looked at Liora and said, "Show them your power, but remember, don't kill them. Just let them suffer."
Liora nodded as she looked at her new opponent with excitement. "Yes, Master. It will be my pleasure to show them who is the boss here."
The tamer of the Lightning Hawk shouted first as he ordered his beast, "Lightning Hawk, use Static Screech! Paralyze her!"
The Aqua Crab's tamer also followed. "Aqua Crab, use Bubble Burst! Suppress her movements!"
"Use Gale Slash, Wind Falcon!" The Wind Falcon's tamer ordered, while the Flame Snake's handler yelled, "Flame Snake, wrap her with Ember Coil!"
The beasts who had received the orders immediately began to attack Liora but Liora just stood silent as she received their attacks.
The Lightning Hawk's piercing screech sent weak electric currents through the air, the Aqua Crab's watery projectiles shot forward, and the Wind Falcon's razor-sharp gusts sliced toward her.
The Flame Snake also slithed forward, coiling around her legs and slowly her body, beginning to sear her body with its hot scales.
But Liora, who received all of those attacks, didn't flinch at all after enduring all of those attacks and stood unbothered and soon a smirk appeared on her face.
Liora immediately glared at the group of tamers and taunted them, "Is this all your beasts can do? I don't feel a thing at all."
Liora then changed her face to a serious one. "Let me show you what the real power looks like." Liora said as she smirked, signing, that she was about to move.
