People weren't expecting a demi-human to be included in the Exhibition Tournament. The knowledge of demi-humas becoming a Maugnetic was still very much an impossibility for most people.
Even the other Knights who came from the Order itself were surprised.
"Master, a demi-human? This is the exhibition match that will basically determine who becomes the next Heavenly Swordmaster!"
The obese woman, who was also the Heavenly Knight for the Path of the Rapier, clicked her tongue at her student.
"Are you saying that demi-humans are lesser than humans?"
"Ah—no, no, master."
"That's what you're implying," she said. "And you seem to forget one simple fact. We already have a demi-human as a Heavenly Knight. Isn't that right, Kruger?"
The Master and student turned to the side and saw a large, burly Orc standing still on the opposite side of the area.
"Master Kruger," the bash student saluted.
"Patty. It's been a while since I've seen you."
