At the hands of the Legends and Elite Class instructors, Kaito and Bao Xin Yi, who were examining the lists for both classes, the students gathered. Their faces reflected a mixture of calm, surprise, confusion, annoyance, mockery, and arrogance.
"What's going on? I have a feeling something bad is about to happen," Yuruchi said calmly, yet he felt uneasy as he gripped his sword hilt. He glanced between Jia and Yuta, his expression suddenly turning to confusion as he muttered softly, "Am I the only one who sees that Jia and Yuta look so alike, even though they come from different families and have no connection... strange?" His voice was filled with confusion and surprise, but he didn't dwell on it for long.
Currently, he was wary of her, not investigating whether they were brothers or not. However, in the past, his opponents, Tom Yuta and Beatrice, had been an unbreakable wall, and Anu He Jia Guilford is one of the top 10 talents in Central Africa, a group that includes Gray de Molière, Beatrice Azwasen, Lucy Kathalle, Hua Jian Yi, Gowther McAteer, and Gia Guilford. Despite this, he felt no despair, sadness, or jealousy, knowing that the most prominent talents aren't always the best. There are always those who are even greater, hidden in the shadows.
"Alright, students, since this is the first class shared between the two classes, a celebratory duel will be held between the two strongest individuals from each class," Kaito's voice was calm as he looked at the students, whose faces reflected a mixture of surprise and excitement for this duel. Bao Xin Yi's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Yuta, recalling what had happened just moments before.
Flashback
"So, will you choose the individuals from the de Molière family: Gray, Ruichi, Beatrice Azwasen, Hua Jian Yi, or Gowther McAteer?"
"They are capable of facing..." "Only Gowther McAteer and Beatrice Azwasen are weaker than her in terms of skill level. Jian Yi, considered the strongest individual, is still only a half-ruler, while Jian Yi is a higher-ranking ruler. Only Beatrice and Gowther have reached that rank." Bao Xin Yi's voice was calm as she looked at Kaido, whose face was filled with surprise that she didn't know about Armin, Tom, and the terrifying Yuta. She had been isolated from the outside world during the period when they were gaining fame, and her near-isolation meant it was obvious she wouldn't know anything about Yuta, Armin, or Tom.
"You're mistaken. There are two other people capable of facing her. As for the strongest person, it's not any of the elite class you mentioned. The strongest student in the elite class is Yuta Cassiral, then Gowther McAteer, then Beatrice, then Tom Fragelsen, then Jian Yi." Kaido's voice was calm as he looked at Bao Xin Yi, who was stunned for several seconds before her expression returned to calm. Her face
"So, Yuta Cassiral, from a baronial family, surpassed the sons of three dukes: McAteer, Cathaly, and de Molière. What about Nozaki? Well, as you wish. He's handsome, but his rival is Giya Guilford. So, if he gets his ass cleaned, don't blame me. I told you so." Bao Xin Yi's tone was calm and routine, devoid of any sarcasm. Yet, Kaito's expression remained unchanged, as he had anticipated this. His gaze was fixed on Yuta, who sat leaning against a wall with his eyes closed. This was due to the contract Kaito had made with him when he was a monster in the dungeon of the rulers' graveyard. Therefore, he could sense Yuta's power—or what he believed to be real power—which was indescribably strong. He looked up at Yuta's head and found his aura to be real. Any entity not in its true form would have a presence above its head, revealed by entities of power beyond logic, such as rulers and those above them. As for the Entities less powerful than rulers could not do anything beyond that. They were contracted entities, like the spirit of Kenuga, which possessed Kaito Ishikawa's body.
He found an entity seated on a luxurious chair, crafted from Yuta's pure energy. This being resembled Yuta but was slightly taller, with long white hair and sharp purple eyes. He wore a black cloak with a hint of red. His gaze was so intense it compelled you to kneel before him. His presence was more powerful than that of the strongest and mightiest rulers.
Therefore, Kaito's feelings were a mixture of submission, fear, and awe as he looked towards Yuta and murmured in a barely audible whisper,
"Master Yuta, where do you intend to go with these actions?"
End of Flashback
While the instructors of both classes were on the verge of announcing names, the students' murmurs were like a buzzing noise.
"So, will Yuta fight Cassell? He's an incredibly powerful person. He's defeated three rulers, and at the same time, he's closer to Sammy than..." "Human," said one of the elite students, his voice brimming with enthusiasm as he spoke to a classmate.
"But he didn't defeat them by neutralizing their attacks," said a calm young man, his tone tinged with a hint of anxiety at being ridiculed by the class's most prominent student.
"Even the current head of the D-Molière family, Reinhardt, hasn't reached the level of a Regent; he's currently at the level of a Half-Regent."
"While Yuta is strong, Gea is one of the best rising talents, and she's capable of easily defeating those two ranks higher than her."
"It will be an epic battle, even more so, between the strongest Yuta Cassiral and Gea Guilford."
"It seems Yuta will be fighting the star of the class and of Central Continent for this era," said Gray, his voice calm as he stared into space, yet he couldn't stop the aura of a Master-rank fighter from radiating.
"Yuta is strong, but Gea is still one of the greatest talents," said Armin, his voice tinged with a hint of tension as he looked at Yuta Tarta and the other Gea Tarta, his gaze automatically drawn to both of them. Previca and Lucy, though far apart, seemed to catch a spark in their eyes.
"Yuta will win. He's the strongest person in this world. I'm sure of it. Even though he's no longer the Creator after the return of the Creator of this world, Yuta is still stronger than him," Previca's voice was calm as she spoke to herself. Her feelings were a mixture of a sincere desire for Yuta to win—not to break the mythical superiority complex—but rather a desire for the person she loved most to win.
Meanwhile, Lucy's gaze was fixed on Yuta, who seemed to be asleep and unconcerned with what was happening.Lucy sat beside Gowther, who was playing absently on his phone. She winced briefly before rubbing her temples.
"He seems confident of winning," Lucy said calmly, glancing at Yuta and Gowther, who both appeared indifferent.
"Yuta, what are you going to do now? I'm not saying Gia is strong, but the problem lies elsewhere entirely," Gowther said calmly, glancing at Yuta out of the corner of his eye, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Since when have you known me, Gowther McAteer or Isaac?" Yuta Cassiral's voice held a hint of sarcasm, though he didn't open his eyes at all.
"I knew you even before we were reincarnated in your ridiculous novel. What I know of you from our previous lives is that you're a top-notch, scumbag. Now, though, you're still a top-notch, scumbag, but in a splendid way," Gowther said, his voice laced with sarcasm, as he looked at Yuta, whose expression remained unchanged. He then turned his gaze towards... Yuta's neck, towards the painful knot around his neck.
"Who is this beautiful girl who melted the heart of a beast?" Gowther's voice held a hint of mockery as he looked at Yuta, whose violet eyes were wide open.
"This is meant to provoke me, but I won't get angry. As for the ring and the girl, their names mean 'beautiful moon.'"
"I forgot to tell you something. Christian is from this world." His voice was calm as he looked at Gowther, who seemed surprised.
"You mean Yasin ibn Yub? That's right. His name is Christian Jamil." Gowther's voice was a mixture of surprise and caution regarding Christian. Although he hadn't met him, he was from outside this fantasy world—not just outside the fantasy dungeon they were in—and he was of the same rank as Rikudwa Na'vi, meaning he was more powerful than all the entities within this fantasy world.
"Can you tell me one or two things about him?" Gowther's voice was filled with confusion and curiosity as he looked at Yuta, who shifted slightly in his seat.
"Christian is the first son of my ruler." Fantasy Vault No. 1, former Supreme Law and Ruler of Fantasy Vault No. 7, Dragon Ruler of the Fantasy Realms, is one of the strongest talents of Era 15 of the First Beginning Timeline, nicknamed the Era Beginning and End. He is the strongest user of Narrative Manipulation and the Great Story Eater, and is currently outside of Luxembourg City. Yuta's tone was calm as he looked towards both Bao Shen Yi and Kaito Ishikawa, who were about to mention rivals in the fight that would take place shortly.
