Dera may have appeared to be a simple trainer, but he was much more powerful than he appeared. It was not a simple thing to hold the title of Lord. Especially being a Sword Lord... It was the result of pure talent and great willpower.

Dera's power was not simple. His strength was equal to Jace's father James, but there was a difference. 40 years! Dera had reached this level 40 years earlier.

And now there was a gap between their powers. James couldn't close the gap if he lived.

Unfortunately, students could only challenge the person with the lowest development base. So they had no choice but to challenge Dera to graduate. If someone defeated him, he would become the strongest student of the Red Lightning Academy. He would have a chance to graduate.

Bartra fixed his eyes on Dera. Some of the students held their breath as he raised his finger and pointed at her.

"Dera! I challenge you! Do you accept?" said Bartra.

As Dera looked at Bartra, his old teacher-like demeanour was long gone, replaced by an uncaring man. Kai realised something while looking at this scene.

''I'm Kai Lane. We're all from New Seattle, and it took us a while to get here because we ran into the Hunters on the way." Kai briefly introduced himself.

"You encountered Hunters? At your age?" Dera looked at them puzzled, while Kai continued to sleep without a care, but he still heard everything.

"Yeah, what's so strange about that? Aren't they trying to hunt everyone anyway? Besides, we killed one of them too. In fact, the bear sleeping on my shoulder made a massacre." said Emma. Everyone was even more surprised and some of them fell off their desks.

"You killed some of them too? That's really surprising at your age. And you say this sleepy one committed a massacre. Why doesn't it sound convincing. "Emma spoke again, this time a little more angry.

"We're not asking you to believe us. But don't call us liars! Or there will be dire consequences in the future! " she shouted. Kai was getting restless as Dera asked another question without a care in the world.

Remembering that day, Kai couldn't help but laugh at his stupidity. Dera didn't care because he was the Sword Lord. Michael wouldn't have said anything to him if he cut Kai for such a silly thing. Kai had realised something else. Dera's power.

Dera was the Sword Lord. So his development must have accelerated. There's no way he was still at the beginning of Purple Lightning. He was hiding his power. Maybe that's what Michael wanted. Students couldn't graduate.

Dera came this year. So perhaps only the instructors knew of Dera's power. Bartra underestimated Dera. Maybe he didn't think he was underestimating, but Dera was stronger than he thought.

"All right, I accept," Dera said. He was very relaxed and there was a hint of confidence in his eyes. Those bulging and flexible muscles made me think for a moment that he was going to draw his sword and cut everyone.

When Dera took the field, the students were a little surprised. It was the first time they had seen Dera with a sword. However, Dera had hung the sword on his back and no one could see the surface of the sword because it was sheathed. It was hard not to wonder about the Sword Lord's sword.

When Dera took the field, the two began to fight. Bartra rushed forward without waiting and threw a punch so fast that even Kai could not see it with his eyes. It was a high level match even to watch.

As the punch travelled towards Dera, something happened that no one expected. A hand like a straight sword struck to the right of the punch. As a result, a loud cracking sound that could be heard throughout the arena attracted everyone's attention.

Bartra fell to the ground. He was holding his hand in pain, but he was neither crying nor whimpering. He was looking at Dera with a look of disbelief in his eyes. He wasn't terrified because he had broken his hand. She was terrified of what he could do. Dera could cut off Bartra's hand with his own hand if he wanted to!!! Now that's what you call a Sword Lord.

Dera went back to his seat. At that moment, a girl from the 20th floor ran to Bartra, worried. This girl was Maiya.

Unlike other 5th Classes, Maiya had always been protected by the other 7. Although her healing abilities were incredible, in combat, Kai could perhaps defeat her by completing the Immortal Dragon Transformation Skill. Because Maiya was only a purple lightning initiation expert. Nothing more. But Kai hadn't completed this skill, nor had he begun to control it. Still, Kai felt that he was close to completion. Inwardly, he was excited as hell about it.

Meanwhile, on another field, he had defeated the cowardly boy Hui. He was a little tired, but proud of himself. When he took his seat, he hit Alvar's back with a soft kick that sent him flying back towards the field. Although Alvar did not do this on purpose, many people looked at this scene and laughed.

On another court, Melony and Milah exchanged countless punches. There were traces of excitement on both of their faces. Milah put his hand in his pocket and Melony put both hands behind his back.

Milah's ring appeared and Milah quickly put it on. Then she began to extend her mental strength towards Melony.

Melony's dagger was shattered by Kai. Although it had been an accident, Ariel had come to her aid at that moment and had given her a mana weapon.

Melony watched as the mental force came towards her. An item like a crown suddenly appeared in her hand as the mental force was sucked into her body and disappeared into the depths. Milah did not understand what had happened. Melony had neutralised the mental force with the mana weapon she hung on her forehead and absorbed it into herself.

Melony looked very beautiful with her mana weapon. The crown on her forehead was full of white stones and made her look like a goddess. No, she radiated a beauty that would make goddesses jealous.

"Look how beautiful she is!!"

"Like a goddess..."

"I'm speechless...."

Milah looked at Melony in astonishment as people from all kinds of places complimented her. Then she smiled.

"It's beautiful," Milah said. Melony nodded and looked at Kevin out of the corner of her eye. He was looking the way she wanted. Desperate...

Elsewhere, countless upperclassmen rolled their eyes. Most of them, at some point in their lives - especially those who had no sense of love - had put aside romantic feelings and devoted themselves to development. In their eyes, it was a rather embarrassing sight. It was teenage stuff.

"Don't you think it's a bit too stony? I'm a bit embarrassed to wear it," said Melony. Her hands played with the crown a little. Still, she couldn't stop her face from blushing.

"Be thankful for it. My mana weapon is like something out of the dusty pages. Look, I don't wear it on my hand when I'm out and about," Milah complained. Although she was normally very cold, she was very close with Melony. Likewise, she was close with Emma, but Melony already had the title of elite. Emma still hadn't caught her prey.

"Don't worry, we'll do something for her appearance later. After all, we live in a magical world." said Melony and the two girls started giggling.

Kevin and Jack, who were watching them at the time, were about to vomit blood. They could hear what they were talking about. The fact that they could have such a conversation even though they were in the middle of a fight right now.... They were at a loss for words.

At that moment, Fury and Elena were continuing their fight. Although Elena had a spear in her hand (the spear she had in the Characters section.) Fury had no weapon. Elena saw the watch in Fury's hand, but she waited until now. Maybe Fury would attack, but nothing like that had ever happened. Now he would show his true strength.

After Elena attacked Fury one last time, Fury managed to escape again. Elena retreated. Suddenly her eyes began to glow as the Base of Green Lightning appeared. Elena had awakened her potential. Of course, she'd been in Green Lightning for two months.

"Potential Awakening!!!" Elena's eyes flashed a little brighter as she shouted, and Elena jumped out of her seat. Her speed was far, far superior to before. This was her Potential power.

When Elena charged forward, Fury's serious expression finally changed and a smile formed. There were only a few metres between him and Elena. In that fleeting moment, his hand hit the button on his watch.

At that moment, a smile appeared on Kronos' face, which no one even paid attention to.

"The fun begins."

Suddenly a great light fell from the sky to the earth and all eyes turned in that direction. Melony and Milah stopped their so-called fight and looked at what was happening. Even Dera turned his head and tried to understand what was happening.

"What is happening, where is this light coming from? "

"It was in that collision! I couldn't see it clearly, but I saw Elena attacking!"

"So what's that glow?! What's really going on?!?"

Everyone was wondering what was going on. The light was very striking and it was hard not to look in that direction. Suddenly a silhouette jumped out of the light and fell 10 metres to the ground with its feet. With the spear in his hand, he focused all his attention on the fight while looking at the light.

Shortly after Elena stepped out, the light began to fade. When the light disappeared, Fury appeared, but almost no one recognised him. Because he was wearing armour and holding a huge sword. No one could see Fury's face right now. If they could, they would recognise Fury's evil smile. This was his plan all along. He wanted to surprise people. Since the armour couldn't go in at any time, he wanted to use it at the most important time of the fight.

Fury pulled his sword out of the ground and pointed it at Elena. People wondered how he carried that sword. It required intense arm strength and leg strength.

Elena smiled as she took her stance with her spear. There would be no point in fighting if she wasn't strong. Fury was also in Green Lightning.

People were filled with excitement as they looked at Fury. It was fun to watch someone powerful, and they liked fun fights.

"I've been trying to get this thing to work for a long time, it'll be nice to take this baby for a test drive."
