Emma was stunned to see who had just appeared.
A member of the Round Hall—none other than Lancelot, the Knight of the Crown.
He ranked third among the seven and was known as the true prodigy of the century.
Though a martial artist who created his own battle stances, Lancelot had faced off against powerful mages during his academy years and held his ground every time.
Normally, only those who failed to awaken a skill would pursue martial arts. But Lancelot was different—he had awakened a skill. He simply chose the harder path.
Why? Because he believed in absolute strength—a kind that no spell or weapon could challenge. His goal was simple: to stand at the very top, untouchable.
Emma remembered reading about him in the novel. Ambitious, unpredictable, and relentless.
But she didn't recall him ever appearing before the Goblet of Honor.
