The mentor leading the Lihes Kingdom Academy team wore an ugly expression in the rest area.
Ally's strength had clearly far exceeded his expectations.
More importantly, one of their academy's geniuses had been effortlessly defeated by a half-beastman. For them, it was an utterly humiliating disgrace.
Humiliation aside, the competition had to continue. Someone still had to take the stage.
His gaze swept across the students. Judging from the strength that half-beastman had displayed earlier, she was definitely no ordinary Elite-ranked fighter. She was most likely level 13!

"Looks like Lihes Academy thinks their opponent is troublesome too. They even sent him out."
"They had no choice. That half-beastman is just too bizarre. An Elite-ranked Knight was one-shotted... Why does she feel even stronger than Lin Mo?"
"Doria Kingdom has hidden itself well! Before
