บท 2258: Top 10

When it came to the top 10 ranking, the standard of acolytes escalated dramatically.

These weren't just prodigies; they were anomalies, freaks of nature whose talents defied the norm within the Magus Alliance. Each of these top-ranked acolytes possessed a raw, overwhelming power that set them apart from even the most gifted peers.

Shinta found herself facing one of the most daunting opponents imaginable—a Nephilim from the esteemed Aztebas family, the most influential of the three great houses within the Alpha Quadrant. His name was Raphael Nephilim, a first-year acolyte who had already earned the prestigious Rookie of the Year award. This alone spoke volumes about his abilities and the fearsome reputation he had built in such a short time.
