Regaining his seat
Instead of going home, Max followed them towards the combat arena because he was now even more eager to figure out more about Jason´s capabilities.
Now, he wanted to see his combat prowess, as he wanted to see what a 3rd Adept rank could do against other higher-ranked Adepts with amplifications that could even allow some students to reach the physique of an average Expert rank.
He didn't know that Jason´s mana core size and physique were already at the 7th Adept stage in addition to his affinities that would more than astonish him for the second time in the day.
The only thing he could estimate was Artemis' affinity and Jason's inherited affinity through that, while he could only tell that Artemis was a low-evolved beast at the moment.
But this wouldn´t mean she had already matured or given him an idea of how strong Jason´s soulbond could still grow.
As such, Max's curiosity was making him restless and he wanted to witness a satisfying fight.
