326 Jared Vs Neron [Pt 1]

Silence pervaded the atmosphere, but it was hardly stale.

Students and lecturers watched the stage fervently, with bated breaths. Their eyes were locked on the two individuals who stood opposite each other —smiling at each other with pure confidence.

The Hero and Unofficial Ranker Of Ainzlark…

… And the Headmaster of the same institution.

Gulps and tense breaths spread across the audience.

Their thoughts all rang of the same thing.

'Who is going to win?'

'How ignorant…'

I couldn't blame most of the people who were witnessing this, though. None of them had ever seen Neron at full strength, which was why they could entertain the thought that I had a chance.

'Well, maybe I could turn the tides with my Arcanas…'

But, I wasn't going to be using those in this match. Based on what little information I knew about Neron, he surpassed me in Mana quantity, and even bested me in overall quality —since he had too much.
