Nero looked at the young man with curly dark-brown hair and green eyes, who was also looking at him with a calm expression.
He was none other than the last King of the younger generation, Ackley, who was proficient in using the Earth Element.
Just like Gilmore, he was also a member of a Royal Family that belonged to one of the Six Kingdoms that supported Barbatos Academy.
"The moment I saw your name on the list in my Division, I knew that the two of us would meet in the final match," Ackley said.
"I had the same thought," Nero replied. "I knew that you would be my last opponent before I stepped into the Semifinals."
"You're that confident in winning, eh?"
"But of course."
Ackley smiled because he had known Nero for a very long time. He knew that the young man in front of him had the qualifications to be arrogant, even if he was up against a Prince from one of the Six Kingdoms.
"Well, then, I hope you will give me a good fight," Ackley stated.
