Chapter 201: Lucas Vs Jack

The arena buzzed with murmurs, and my gaze remained focused on Jack. Despite his higher potential rank, I couldn't underestimate him.

Jack with a hockey smirk stair toward me and said

"You got lucky, my dear cousin."

"…hm?"

"With a puny talent like yours, you managed to enrol at the Nova Academy while I had to settle for the second-best option. How is it that someone of your calibre can enter the academy and I can't?"

…without saying a word, I looked at him straight into the eyes.

Although his words had some truth to them, right now he was merely trying to shake my mentality.

This was a common practice used when opponents faced each other in duels.

Regardless of who your opponent was, a key component in increasing your chances of winning was to get into your opponent's head.

If you managed to enter their heads, the chances of you losing drastically reduced.
