At the moment, more than 50 young boys and girls were gathered on the academy grounds, waiting for the test to start.
"I don't understand why you want to take the test, Mariana... Or is there a reason for this?"
Adrian, in his brown academy uniform, asked his younger sister, frowning slightly.
"Why do you keep asking this?! For three days straight, you've been asking this question! Can't I become a Tamer?! Or are you looking down on me?" Mariana asked, frowning.
"No one is looking down on you; it's just that—"
"—It's just nothing... Now leave me alone; go to your seat and watch from there!"
Adrian stared at his sister for a few seconds and sighed.
"Fine... Just be careful."
With that, he walked away, passing two guys in uniform who followed him.
Mariana stared at her brother's departing figure and exhaled.
'How can I tell you someone destroyed the Assassins' organization two days ago with Divine-stage Beasts? I don't even know the person! All I know is, he/she is after our family, and I need to get stronger; only then can I tell you,' she thought.
"Wow, Advika! This place is huge!" Sylvia exclaimed, looking all over the academy grounds.
Advika looked from the still-closed door to the youngsters around the place.
"I think you should go to the audience section and find a seat."
Sylvia was surprised. She stared at her sister for a few seconds and nodded.
Everyone turned their heads to the white Lamborghini and was stunned to see Adonis and Katherine getting out.
"That's Adonis and Katherine! I heard the two are among the strongest students in the academy; both have Legendary-stage Beasts!"
"Yeah! I heard that too!"
All the youngsters murmured, staring at Adonis and Katherine.
The driver's door opened, drawing everyone's attention to the young man.
"Master Christopher?!"
"I thought he was thinner?"
"What's he doing here?"
"Maybe he's here to watch the match?"
"Yeah, you have a point."
Advika stared at Christopher with an unreadable expression.
'Chris? Is he here to spectate or register?' she thought, mildly confused.
Mariana sneered, seeing Christopher. 'How can someone who knows nothing about Beasts pass the test? But it'll be fun to see him humiliate himself,' she chuckled softly.
Christopher and Katherine stared at Angus and more than five girls who rushed up to Adonis, surrounding him.
"How is everyone doing?" Adonis smiled at the girls and introduced, "This is my elder brother, Christopher."
"Hi, Master Christopher."
The girls smiled at Christopher, who nodded at them.
"Oh? Isn't this Miss Katherine?"
Christopher looked over his shoulder at Katherine, who stood on the other side... Three men walked up to her, smiling. He stood still and silently watched.
"What do you want?!" Katherine coldly asked, folding her arms across her chest.
"Slow down; I just want to ask you out. Is something wrong with that? And besides, my family is the second biggest in the city, more powerful than yours, which is third-rated," the guy with shoulder-length green hair said, while the other two had mocking smiles.
"I've refused countless times; when will you stop asking?!"
Christopher turned his head to Adonis, who was already surrounded by female students... His attention was taken.
He shook his head and turned back to Katherine and the three guys.
"You're always breaking my heart every time you refuse me... I'm so sorry, my heart can't bear it anymore... We'll have to take you to the restaurant by force... And if you scream, I'll show you how powerful my family is."
Katherine's face changed dramatically, hearing his words. "What the hell are you doing, James?!"
"It's Master James to you... Get her."
James was the only child of the Felons family, an aristocratic family more powerful than the Valhalla family... And being the only child, James became arrogant and acted as he pleased in the academy, especially when the teachers weren't around.
Before the two could get close to Katherine, a figure appeared in front of her, shielding her from them.
"Huh? You! Christopher, what are you doing here? Are you here to watch the test or what?"
James asked, folding his arms across his chest, a sneer on his face.
"I'll give you one warning... Get lost."
"Oh? Big talker. Did you forget I'm a lot stronger than you, both in strength and wealth?"
"I don't care if you're stronger or weaker than me; all I care about is my sister. If you take even one step forward, you'll be held responsible."
Katherine smiled, hearing Christopher's words... While Angus tapped Adonis on his shoulder.
"Dude! James is bothering your sister again."
Adonis turned his head around, seeing the scene on the other side. A frown appeared on his face.
"Dude, should I stop them?" Angus asked.
"Not yet. Let's see what James will do," Adonis smiled.
Everyone's attention was now focused on the five, watching the show.
James looked around, seeing everyone's eyes on him. He gritted his teeth and yelled, "You dare act arrogant here?! You two, deal with him!!"
Why would he, James, let a weak guy like Christopher speak so boldly to his face?
The two nodded and lunged towards Christopher.
Everyone was stunned, seeing the two guys on the ground, both moaning in pain... Everyone saw Christopher move, but no one knew how he struck.
James looked at his men and up at Christopher.
"You'll pay for this!!"
He lunged towards Christopher and sent a straight punch towards his face.
James looked at his fist, which Christopher caught in his palm... Utterly perplexed.
Christopher let go of James's fist, and with a tornado kick, he struck James's face.
James spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground.
Christopher walked towards him and squatted down.
"Never harass my sister again; don't even get ten feet from her. If I find out you disobeyed my word... Get ready to lose a leg."
"How dare you threaten me?!"
Before James could summon his Beast, a voice sounded all over the place.
"What's going on here?"
