Prince Ozkar swung his claws with aura compression towards Sintaro. He stared coldly and didn't seem to hesitate to do so. It was the same attack he had used to destroy the black hole, and its destructive power was terrifying.

[Beast King Wrath]

Booooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!

"Aarrgghhh!" Sintaro let out a painful scream after being hit by Prince Ozkar's attack. He fell severely injured and unconscious in the battle arena. Even though he wasn't torn apart, that attack left many wounds on his body.

"The winner is Prince Ozkar of Arcuz Grand Academy!" Jourelio quickly announced the winner of the fight with a big smile. He felt pleased that his Academy had won the match.

"Thus, this friendly match ended with Arcuz Grand Academy's victory! We hope this match can be a valuable experience and not become a grudge between participants." Jourelio added another explanation.

"We also hope that the students from our academy can have another friendly match in the future with the Piqmentia Grand Academy. With this, we conclude this friendly match and thank the Piqmentia Grand Academy for participating." Jourelio smiled at Merlick and closed that event.

After Jourelio finished his sentence, the barrier in the battle arena opened, and Hikaru quickly approached Sintaro. Apart from him, Kyouka, Prince Fritz, and Flavio also came. Kyouka immediately checked Sintaro to confirm his condition. When she did the examination, Kyouka's face became ugly.

"Kyouka, how is Sintaro's condition?" Hikaru asked worriedly after seeing the change on Kyouka's face.

"That is… for the external wound, there is no problem, and we can still heal it, although it will take quite a while. But the internal injury is severe, and I don't know if Megumi can heal it or not." Kyouka sighed heavily and shook her head.

"What do you mean, Kyouka? Did he suffer serious internal injuries?" Hikaru was shocked and asked again to confirm Kyouka's words.

"Yes. His bones were crushed, and his internal organs were almost all damaged. He could still survive until now because of his innate ability 'Superhuman Body,' which sustains his life. I thought he could be cured but might have to lie in bed forever." Kyouka explained in a deep voice.

"You mean, Sintaro will be crippled?" Hikaru asked with a trembling voice, and Kyouka responded with a nod.

"Bastard!" Hikaru gritted his teeth and stared with bloodshot eyes at Prince Ozkar, who was standing not far from him. Currently, Prince Ozkar has returned to his human form and looks like he wants to leave the battle arena.

Even though Hikaru and Sintaro's relationship isn't good lately, Sintaro is a friend who was summoned with him to that world. Because of that, he was angry at what Prince Ozkar did to Sintaro.

Prince Ozkar averted his gaze after feeling Hikaru's sharp gaze on him and responded with a big smile. He also didn't expect Sintaro to be severely injured after being hit by his attack. But as long as Sintaro doesn't die, it won't be a problem for him.

Hikaru couldn't suppress his anger when he saw that smile. He stood up and was about to attack Prince Ozkar, but Prince Fritz quickly grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

"Stop it, Hikaru! If you attack him here, you will only bring trouble to the people from the academy and the guests from the human region. Although we are not afraid to fight them, we are not sure that we can beat them in their territory." Prince Fritz spoke seriously and tried to calm Hikaru.

"But!"  Hikaru was already consumed by his anger. He didn't want to hear Prince Fritz's words and tried to release his wrist from Prince Fritz's grip.

"I know how you feel. But the most important thing right now is to bring Sintaro to Megumi to be healed. We can make calculations with him in the future." Prince Fritz tightened his grip on his hand after feeling Hikaru trying to free himself from his grip. He said in a high tone so that Hikaru would listen to him this time.

"Prince Fritz is right, Hikaru. If you attack him now, then the problem will be huge. So we'd better back off for now." Kyouka helps Prince Fritz to calm Hikaru's anger.

Hikaru was still looking at Prince Ozkar with bloodshot eyes. Even so, he thought about what Prince Fritz and Kyouka had said. After pondering it for a while, Hikaru took a deep breath and seemed to have calmed down.

"I promise to make you feel the same way that Sintaro feels right now!" Hikaru picked up Sintaro and left a threat to Prince Ozkar.

"Hoo...is that so? Then I will wait for it. Maybe before you could do it, I would have done it to you or that hero girl next to you." Prince Ozkar threatened Hikaru back and then looked coldly at Kyouka. He thought that Kyouka was the main cause of his sister's severe condition.

Although previously Prince Ozkar seemed attracted to Kyouka, it was just a normal feeling and nothing special like the one he had for Azalia. He would put revenge for Princess Evelyn's condition over his attraction to Kyouka. Because he really loves his sister.

"You!" Hikaru's anger flared again after hearing Prince Ozkar's words. But Prince Fritz and Kyouka quickly stopped him before Hikaru lost control and attacked Prince Ozkar.

"We have to take Sintaro to Megumi's place immediately. Healing him is the most important right now. For now, please restrain your emotions, Hikaru." Kyouka again reminded Hikaru seriously.

"I understand." Hikaru gritted his teeth and walked out of the battle arena. Prince Ozkar clicked his tongue and looked dissatisfied after seeing Hikaru leave.

At first, Prince Ozkar hoped that Hikaru would attack him and give him a reason to fight back. He could use that opportunity to make Hikaru suffer the same injury as Sintaro. Unfortunately, Hikaru did not do that and made him think of other ways to avenge his sister.

When he got off the battle arena, Prince Ozkar quickly changed the expression on his face and smiled broadly.

"Did you see my fight, Azalia? What do you think of my performance in the battle arena? Do I look strong and cool?" Prince Ozkar prided himself in front of Azalia. But the only response he got from Azalia was a cold snort. Azalia didn't even want to look at him and walked away.

After seeing Azalia's reaction to him, Prince Ozkar's face became gloomy. Even so, he kept quiet and didn't say any further.

(You can continue to be arrogant towards me until now. But I want to see how long you can continue to act like that. One day, you will be the one begging to be with me!)

Prince Ozkar muttered in his heart in annoyance and walked after Azalia. Prince Viron and Princess Seira also left the place.

In the guest area for the people of the human academy, Ziel and Lilith looked at the result of the match indifferently like it was none of their business. On the other hand, Clara looks worried when seeing Sintaro's condition after being defeated by Prince Ozkar and brought by Hikaru to Megumi's place.

"Will he be okay?" Clara asked worriedly. Even though her relationship with other heroes wasn't as close as Kyouka's, Clara couldn't help but worry because Sintaro was a student of Piqmentia Grand Academy and a friend of Kyouka.

"No. He won't be okay, My lady." Ziel answered flatly. It made Lilith and Clara surprised because Ziel's words were too direct.

"You mean he won't be fine… will he die?" Clara asked timidly. If Sintaro died, Kyouka would be sad, and she didn't want that to happen.

"You don't have to worry about it, my lady. He won't die so easily because he has the innate ability 'Superhuman Body', but maybe he will be crippled for the rest of his life." Ziel explains Sintaro's true condition to Clara.

"Eh? Doesn't that sound more worrying in another sense!?" Clara broke out in cold sweat after hearing about Sintaro's condition. She didn't expect his condition to be that bad.

"Is that innate ability so amazing to the point of sustaining his life that was on the verge of death?" Lilith suddenly interrupted their conversation. Her attention was not on Sintaro's condition but on the innate ability that Ziel had mentioned.

Clara also looked curious after listening to Lilith's question. She forgot the matter about Sintaro and looked to Ziel for an answer.

"All the innate abilities of heroes are incredible. But that depends on the heroes themselves. If they could bring out the potential of their innate abilities to the maximum, they would become extremely powerful people." Ziel gave a short answer to satisfy the curiosity of the two girls.

If Ziel had to explain in detail the innate abilities of the heroes according to his knowledge, then it would take hours to complete.

"How strong can they become? Is it possible to be as strong as you?" Lilith added another question. She became very curious because the topic of conversation was indirectly related to Ziel. That's why she wanted to know.

"I don't know if they can be as strong as I am. But at the very least, they are strong enough to defeat the principal of this academy if they can awaken the power and potential of their innate abilities." Ziel answered honestly.

Ziel didn't know if the heroes could be as strong as he was right now or not after they awakened their full potential. Ziel's innate abilities are unique and special, allowing him to fight enemies with a level of strength above him.

"Can heroes be that strong?" Lilith asked in disbelief. Even though she had never fought with Raphael, she could predict Raphael's strength was above her. If heroes could defeat Raphael, they could also defeat Lilith.

"Of course." Ziel answered curtly and firmly. It left the two girls speechless for different reasons.

Lilith was a little afraid of the heroes' abilities, while Clara got excited and wanted to become stronger so she wouldn't fall behind Kyouka.

After the participants and judges left the battle arena, the place was suddenly enveloped in a golden light and disappeared from the view of the guests.

"Mr. Merlick, it seems the students from my academy are still a little better than your academy." Raphael smiled and said to Merlick.

"I admit that the students from your academy are indeed slightly better than mine. This can be a valuable experience for them. But wasn't that last fight a bit too much? You should be able to stop the match with your authority." Merlick said in a slightly high-pitched voice. The expression on his face showed that he was angry.

Merlick didn't care that much about his academy's defeat. What became the cause of his anger was Sintaro's condition after fighting Prince Ozkar.

"I apologize about the condition of the students from your academy, Mr. Merlick. but according to the rules, the match will only be stopped if one loses consciousness or admits defeat." Raphael explained Merlick.

"After all, it happened so suddenly, and we didn't have time to stop it. We're sorry that we can't do anything about it." Raphael said nonchalantly. Although he apologized, there was not the slightest sincerity in his words.

"Is that so?" Merlick said coldly and could only suppress his anger for now. Not long after, Flavio returned to the place and sat down next to Merlick.

"I'm sorry I couldn't stop the fight, principal." Flavio said in a low voice to Merlick.

"You don't need to apologize. You did your best, and it looks like they did it on purpose." Merlick sighed and shook his head helplessly. He feels like a failure as a principal because he can't protect his students.

Merlick wanted to stop the fight by force, but he wasn't confident in his strength if he had to fight Raphael. Because of that, he could only stay silent and let Flavio try to stop it.

"After seeing the friendly match, you would know that our academy is not inferior to the human academy founded earlier. As the principal of this academy, I officially announce the opening of the Arcuz Grand Academy!" Raphael said to the guests and waved his hand at the giant ribbon in front of the Monarch Palace. A golden blade of light shot out and cut the ribbon.

"I hope that this academy will become the backbone of the training ground for the younger generations to prepare themselves for the threats that come from outside. Our academy accepts students from not only the demi-human region but also the human region. Therefore, I hope to get support from all of you present at this inauguration event so that this academy can develop further in the future." Raphael's words shocked the guests. They started making noise and talking about the meaning of his sentences.

After that, Rapahel closed the inauguration ceremony, followed by loud applause from all guests.

"Oh, I see. At first, I wondered why he didn't inaugurate this academy first and instead had the match with my academy. It turns out he wanted to use my academy as a stepping stone to show off the strength of his academy. Only then will he be able to inaugurate this academy proudly!" Merlick mumbled his speculation about Raphael's actions.

"If his students lost in this match, his academy would be seen as inferior to the human academy. But it seemed he was very confident that his academy would win or he could make his academy win by force. I had fallen for his plan from the start. Good...Good..." Merlick narrowed his eyes at Raphael and clenched his fists tightly.
