The semi-finals began. First to enter the arena were Karda and Franz Silva.
Ronin returned to his seat and asked Reis Knight, who was beside him, "This Franz… he couldn't be a descendant of the Magic Master from Amethyst County, Bellora Silva, could he?"
Reis Knight nodded. "You guessed right. He is the great-grandson of the esteemed Magic Master, Bellora."
His eyes filled with admiration as he spoke her name.
"Don't be fooled by his age—Franz is only twenty-three or twenty-four, but he's not just a Bronze Knight. He's also the youngest Great Mage at the Magic Academy."
Ronin's gaze fixed on Franz. He hadn't expected him to be a practitioner of Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation, with both disciplines at the Fourth-level.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "A true descendant of a Magic Master. I wonder if he can win this fight."
"It'll be tough."
Reis countered, "Karda is incredibly fast."
