After hearing Hale speak, Lan initially intended to stay out of the matter, knowing that a new recruit clashing with an admissions officer would likely end poorly for the newcomer. However, to his surprise, their admissions officer, Nora, also chimed in, expressing disbelief that Charles could possibly kill a Level 5 Beast Master with only Level 3 Beast Master strength.
Lan looked up at Nora, feeling emboldened. He spoke up, "Teacher Hale, who would believe that a Level 3 Beast Master could slay a Level 5 Beast Master?"
Hale ignored Lan, turning to Nora instead, his brow furrowing as he said, "Can you just take a break for a moment?"
Nora rolled her eyes and didn't respond to Hale. Instead, she looked around and asked, "Where's Charles? I'd really like to meet the student who could kill a Level 5 Beast Master."
"Yeah, we're all curious to see what kind of genius can cross two levels of Beast Master to defeat an opponent!" Lan added eagerly.
