Chapter 61: Unfriendly Spar

Atlas sat next to Dune, Dune smirked. "Well, well, well..."

"Shut up," Atlas snapped back.

Dune chuckled. "That was really embarrassing, maybe even more than mine. But seriously, how did he defeat you? That guy is so weird, I don't understand."

"Yeah, I feel the same," Atlas said, still trying to process the encounter.

"I felt pain in my chest and head.

But I think he doesn't even know that we are Zeten. He just used his ability, which for some reason triggered my Zeten... It's scary."

"We need to avoid him," Dune said, his tone turning serious.

"Yeah," Atlas agreed, nodding.

The first day of battles concluded. Dune, Atlas, and the other favorites had passed, while those with zero wins remained at the bottom, needing to continue until they secured at least one victory. The overall rankings were displayed on the academy wall:

1. Azrael Rodeny - [ 72 Wins ]

2. Lucius Neville - [ 37 Wins ]
