When he heard Ziona's remark, Lucas was rendered speechless.
"... I don't believe Ares is much stronger than I am," Lucas said after a brief pause.
"…."
"Are you serious right now?" Diana inquired, giving Lucas a skeptical look.

"What is that supposed to mean? We can't tell who is stronger unless we compete, right? ...I don't understand why you guys assumed he was stronger than me or anyone else here who has yet to face him," Lucas said indignantly.
"…."
"Speak for yourself, dude, as I know he's stronger than me," Kevin said abruptly.
"... Though I hate to admit it, but I too believe that he is stronger than anyone here," Claude stated, as everyone nodded in agreement, even including the narcissistic Diana.
!?
"...Seriously?" Lucas said with a baffled expression, and he was about to retort but Ayla interrupted him.
