"Isn't it too early to be discussing Ocean Magic Guidance Academy now?" Sara said. "We should first think about how to defeat Holy Rite Academy. Come to think of it, their lower-year team has two Holy Sword wielders, right?"
When it came to Holy Swords, that was naturally Victor's area of expertise.

Sara shook her head slightly. "Then I'll leave him
