Lucius and Luna were just about to leave the market; they stopped after seeing a lot of students were rushing toward the arena.
"Did you hear? Magnus Volcaria had gone insane!" One of the students exclaimed in disbelief.
Another student was also joining; as he said, "He's challenging everyone! He's already taken down four students from the Golden Class, and he's still going!"
A third one also chimed in. "They say that the fifth battle will be his last for today. Let's go watch it before it is over!"
Lucius, who heard it, immediately was intrigued. He never thought that Magnus was so strong that he managed to defeat 4 students in a row.
Luna, who also heard it, immediately turned toward Lucius and smirked, "Master, should we go watch? I am just wondering if he really has changed or not."
Lucius only chuckled, "Of course we should watch him. Let's see just how much power and confidence he got from this battle. And more importantly, let's see just how far he dares to go."
Lucius and Luna soon arrived at the arena. They immediately went to the top area, which was the most deserted one so he could easily sit in some seats.
Luna also sat on the seat beside Lucius and now both of them were currently looking at Magnus, who was about to begin the battle.
Lucius could see that Magnus was a bit different now, as he stood confidently and also looked even fiercer than before.
His opponent this time was a slim one. He was also an attractive young man with good features and charm. His smile was confident, though his presence lacked the overpowering aura that Lucius carried so naturally.
Luna sneered after looking at the slim guy and leaned her body at Lucius. "Who's the peacock Magnus is chatting with, Master? He doesn't look like much."
Lucius smirked and said, "I don't know about him at all. We should just see the battle." Even though he said it like that, Lucius immediately used his system to scan the man.

Lucius soon smirked after seeing his data. His name was Dreston Velcour of the Velcour family. Lucius didn't know much about it but he was still amazed that this one had Lord Talent.
Lucius soon realized that he forgot to scan Kaelix, as he wondered just how strong his talent was. "It seems that I need to meet him again to see if he is really worthy for me or not."
Lucius then began to see the beast that was currently beside Dreston. He began to scan it with his system to see how strong it was.

Lucius frowned a bit after seeing it. "A Gale Wolf. It is quite strong but still not enough. Magnus' Lava Tortoise's stats are all D-Tier."
He then folded his arms and murmured, "But still, this Dreston seems so confident. His beast is specialized in speed so I wonder how he would command his beast to fight."
Luna, on the other hand, smirked and said, "Magnus will crush him. His Lava Tortouse isn't a normal beast. I bet that this slim man will lose."
Lucius only chuckled hearing what Luna had said. "I also bet the slim man will lose, but still, let's see the battle. I wonder what kind of show Magnus will put on for us."
The spectator seats were soon filled by the students that wanted to see the battle. Even the seats near the edge of the arena where Lucius and Luna were currently sitting were half full.
Dreston Velcour soon smiled and waved his hands toward the spectators while casually leaning against the railing. His sleek Gale Wolf also stood by his side.
Both Dreston and his Gale Wolf soon turned their attention toward Magnus. "I have heard a lot about you, Magnus Volcaria."
Dreston also began to praise him. "To think that you manage to secure four consecutive victories against students from the Golden Class. I must say that you are pretty impressive."
Magnus crossed his arms and looked straight at Dreston. "I am just doing what I need to do, so just shut your mouth up."
Dreston, who heard what Magnus said, was a bit angry but calmed down and said, "I see, so this is the fifth. Are you ready or do you need a little break before facing someone like me?"
Magnus only stood straight and didn't smile at all as he fiercely said. "I don't need a break. I am ready whenever you are."
Luna leaned toward Lucius and soon grinned as she talked to Lucius, "Magnus is pretty fired up now, but I don't like this Dreston guy."
Luna then explained why she didn't like him. "He has gotten that smug look that is saying that he has already won. Should we intervene if this turns ugly?"
Lucius chuckled as he was amused. "intervene? No, Luna. Magnus has to stand on his own and also, this is not a mere battle for him but a lesson to make him know what his current position is."
Luna then immediately said, "No matter what, Magnus should win the battle and also, it's going to be entertaining to watch." Lucius only nodded as he said, "Exactly."
Dreston soon brushed off some dust from his clothes and smirked. "Well, Magnus. If you are not tired, then I suppose I could indulge you in a match."
Magnus snorted and soon grinned, "Indulge me? You're awfully confident for someone who hasn't seen my Lava Tortoise in action."
Dreston only laughed as he was amused. "Oh, I've seen it. Impressive, for a brute. But speed wins battles, Volcaria. And my Gale Wolf? It's untouchable."
The crowd soon buzzed with excitement as the arena's announcer stepped forward, amplifying his voice with a magical device to announce the match.
"The fifth battle of the day: Magnus Volcaria versus Dreston Velcour! Two Golden Class students, both with 3-Star beasts! Who will reign supreme?"
Magnus's Lava Tortoise soon went into the arena. It's massive form was emitting a powerful aura. Its molten shell also scared some of the students.
Dreston's Gale Wolf also stepped forward and entered the ring. Its sleek and muscular body was currently swirled by wind, meaning that it was ready for battle.
