Not just any noble.

If it were only Esmeralda and Layla that were remaining, Dustin and Vlad would not only survive the remaining 2 minutes, but they would even win the match.

The issue right from the beginning had always been Blake. He had single-handedly eliminated 3 of their teammates, so with his presence, there was no way they were winning.

'He didn't use the artifact in this match, seems like the real owner had collected it.' Blake thought.

The gauntlet Dustin had used in their ranked match was a demigod tier artifact. Since it was one related to the earth element, Blake's guess was that he had gotten it from a family member to help him in the match.

Blake soon returned to his seating area as he waited for the current round to be over, but that was when he heard the news about Serhan's match.

Apparently, Serhan and Camilla were paired with 3 other first-year students as they went up against Luciano, Haldor and 3 other demoted 2nd year students.
