Little Scheme

While Angus and the others keep watching the tournament, a group of people has a secret gathering near the battlefield tournament.

"How is it?" asked one of the people.

"They decide to protect the youngsters carefully. If there is a sign of losing, they will interrupt the battle as soon as possible and pay the compensation." replied the other person.

"How about the Mana Ball kid?" asked the other person.

"He… I am not sure. I can't see his depth. However, there is one certain thing. He has a great combat sense. He could defeat Boulder without getting a single scratch. Furthermore, he only does it using Firebolt and Fireball spells to defeat him." explained the other person.

"During his fight, I could only sense first-grade mana core. However, I think he concealed his true strength. Based on his age, he should be in second grade at most. I think he is more dangerous than Neil brat." added the other person.
