Lucius and Clara continued their search for new fights, but found none more that day.
The next day, D-Rank fighters began arriving, eager to challenge Lucius. Most of them had been sent by Darius.
Chaos broke out in the academy's hallways, but Lucius resolved each fight with extraordinary skill, without needing to draw on his mana.

Clara Thorne, Ranked #4,310, Rising Star of the Academy, the Ice Princess.
