Unique Core

Kaleb lost, but that was expected by everyone. He returned, a little saddened and a little devastated that he lost.

After all, he was the only one of the 4 first-years that lost today. 

"I'm sorry," he said to the others. "She was just too strong."

"It's alright," the teacher said. "You did your best. That's all that matters."

Kaleb nodded, but he still felt bad. He sat down next to Ning and Tenn. While Tenn consoled him on his loss, Ning was completely focused on the chart in front of him.

The top 32 matches were about to begin and he had the 2nd match on the list, going up against another Low Essence Soul realm fighter. 

It wouldn't be so troublesome for him, had he not heard that the man he was fighting was one of the strongest, if not the strongest fighter of the Frolane Academy. And, he had apparently shown quite the unique Essence Core as well, which troubled Ning as he hadn't even known that such an Essence even existed.
