Leonel held onto Aina's small hand as they walked forward. This was the second time that Leonel had been to this open arena. The first time he had been forced to step in to save Sael. This time, however, he would take center stage.

The participating members were mostly white belts and blue belts. Though there were some black belts that wanted to try their luck, they were mostly here for experience and nothing else.

The members of Polished Glass weren't too keen on joining. They weren't confident in their combat prowess and were focused on their Crafting. With all the knowledge Leonel had taught them over the past several weeks, they felt like they had enough to study for a lifetime.

None of this was too surprising by Leonel's estimation. What was, though, was the fact that Radlis was among these participating black belts.

The pale skinned and lanky jokester had disappeared from Polished Glass for a long while. But, at this moment, Leonel could see him up ahead, registering himself for the selection. The result made Leonel's brows arch upward.

It had to be known that much like Aina and Leonel, Radlis had only been here for about three months. A part of Leonel wanted to dismiss this as Radlis being like the other black belts, simply looking to gain experience. But, for some reason, Leonel didn't feel this way.

In order to join the Selection, one needed to accumulate a certain amount of merits. Though the black belts that had been here for years could just barely scrap together such an amount, what about Radlis who had only been here for such a short time?

'Interesting…'

Radlis, seemingly sensing Leonel's gaze, turned his neck and gave him a wide grin before walking off with his registration plaque.

Not long later, it was Leonel and Aina's turn. To their surprise, though, the one handling these registration affairs was a familiar old lady.

"Hello, Elder Magnaril." Leonel said with a warm smile.

The old lady snorted, clearly still not liking the shape of Leonel's face. The fact he was smiling now only made her feel even worse. And, he just had to still be holding her precious student's hand in public like this, right in front of her, no less.

Over the past month, Aina hadn't come to the lab even a single time. Magnaril knew that she had done nothing but train and train. Seeing such a talent waste away their potential like this truly made her intestines feel as though they were being twisted.

At this point, though, Magnaril could only obediently register the couple.

"Break a leg." She said while giving Leonel a fake smile.

"Sure. But it won't be mine."
