Sera's lips curled into a smile, his eyes burning with fervor.
"So that's it. This is the truth behind Heaven River Coast's Wizard Land. I wondered why Teacher Tumlas insisted that I win the championship here. So this was the truth. Rest assured, mysterious wizard. I accept your demands."
"I will win both the first and second rounds."
"To think this competition was so important. The victor will elevate his own form above everyone else's. Here, I will fulfill my wish and become the final winner."
Sera said to the Lich God's form, "But this time, my opponent is much stronger than the last.
"My opponent is Witch Georgina from Cloud Marsh Wetland. She's the academic star the New Textile Institute has devoted all its efforts to cultivating. Most of their school's Star-Ring Level research discoveries are credited to her. She's dazzling, with powerful backing. Since you call yourself the Lich God, let me see you lend me a hand. According to the intelligence my students gathered, the project in Witch Georgina's first-round funding application is extremely competitive."
"She's designed a reservoir project to filter the Cold Sky River and improve its water quality. I wasn't certain I could beat her. If anything, she had the better chance of winning."

The Lich God's form curled its lips.
