Noah looked at his opponent without a hint of anticipation or excitement. He didn't care much about this competition or the rank reassignment exam.
Although his goal had changed slightly after meeting Viola, his view of the world remained the same. She had promised to kill him the first time they met and until she fulfilled that promise, he had no intention of dying by anyone else's hands.
This battle wasn't a life-and-death duel but he still had no intention of losing. Not because he cared about rankings or recognition. He simply found the whole thing worthless, though there was someone he wished to show his place.
His gaze drifted toward the audience seats, guided by the paths visible only to him. There, he found Viola seated beside that annoying red-eyed boy, wearing his usual smug expression.
Noah had wanted to put him in his place for a long time but because Viola cared for him, he restrained himself.
