Before the sixth match began, Mauro finally regained consciousness after being knocked unconscious by my attack. When he came to, he saw Chloe standing nearby.

  "Looks like you're awake, huh?" Chloe said.

  "Princess Chloe? What happened to me? Why am I here?" Mauro asked.

  "You fainted after Rid's attack. So you were carried to the edge of the training ground," Chloe said.

  "I see. That's right, I just remembered that I hit the wall after blocking Rid's attack. So how was the match, Princess Chloe?" Mauro asked.

  "We lost again today. This is already our second loss," Chloe said.

  "I see. I'm sorry, Princess Chloe, for not being very useful as your partner," Mauro said.

  "No need to apologize. I'm weak myself, so I couldn't protect my partner. Well, don't worry too much. We may have lost these two matches, but the exams still last for the next two days. We can aim for victory in those two days," Chloe said.

  "You're right, Princess Chloe. Regret is useless," Mauro said.

  -

  Then the sixth match began.

  "Please step forward, Lily, Kotaro, Ray, and Leandra," said Master Alan.

  The four of them stepped forward.

  "This time my opponent is a Demi-Human. A Demi-Human and an Elf. I'm sick of meeting non-humans, can you please go back to your home country?" Ray asked.

  Although he didn't use words like "disgusting" or anything like that, Ray's tone was mocking those who weren't of the human race.

  Lily and Leandra listened silently to his words.

  "Are you four ready?" asked Master Alan.

  "Ready," they all said.

  "Then, the match begins!" said Master Alan.

  "Hey Elf, just like the previous match. I can finish this match on my own and don't need your help," Ray said.

  Leandra remained silent as she listened to Ray's words.

  Meanwhile, Lily and Kotaro appeared to be preparing to attack.

  "Kotaro, according to plan," Lily said.

  "Okay," Kotaro said.

  They both moved toward Ray and attacked him.

  "Move aside, ~Flame Slash~," Ray said.

  Ray launched a fire slash at Kotaro and Lily, but they dodged it. After dodging, Kotaro immediately closed in on Ray.

  ~Masahiko Art : Maple Tree Wind Slash~

  Kotaro launched his slash at Ray, but Ray swiftly blocked it with his flame sword. But Kotaro's slash was so powerful that it sent Ray flying as he blocked it. Luckily, Ray wasn't sent flying far, hitting the wall, only a few meters away. Ray immediately got up after being knocked back by Kotaro's slash, but Lily suddenly shot towards him.

  ~Electric Fox Palm~

  Lily struck Ray in the stomach with her electrified palm. Ray looked pained after the attack, but it didn't stop there. Lily then pushed Ray's stomach with her palm, sending him flying against the training ground wall. But that attack wasn't enough to knock Ray down. He immediately got back up and quickly moved toward Lily to attack her. Just as he was about to attack Lily, Kotaro suddenly appeared and blocked his attack.

  "Damn you, don't interfere," Ray said.

  "How could I let you attack my partner?" Kotaro said.

  Seeing Kotaro and Ray clashing, Lily immediately moved behind Ray and attacked him from behind.

  ~Electric Fox Claw~

  Lily used her claws to attack Ray, and it had an effect on him. His back was injured by Lily's claws, leaving his defenses open. Seeing this opening, Kotaro immediately attacked.

  ~Masahiko Art : Thousand of Maple Leaf Slash~

  The attack struck Ray squarely, injuring him and sending him flying several meters back. But Ray still wasn't knocked down by the attack.

  "Those two have been attacking me all this time. Hey Elf, attack them while they're attacking me," Ray said.

  Leandra remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.

  Meanwhile, Kotaro and Lily darted toward Ray, intending to attack him again. Ray couldn't defend against their attacks and continued to be hit by Kotaro and Lily. Ray looked furious that Leandra wasn't following his orders even though he was desperately fighting Kotaro and Lily.

  "What are you doing, damn Elf? Hurry up and help me and attack them both," Ray said.

  But once again, Leandra remained silent, watching Ray. She didn't care even though Ray was being relentlessly attacked by Kotaro and Lily, until Ray finally collapsed with multiple wounds.

  "Wh-why didn't you h-help me?" Ray asked, lying on the floor.

  "Why would I help you? You said you didn't need my help, right? So I'll just fight alone and only attack the enemy who attacks me. I don't care about the enemy who attacks you," said Leandra.

  Ray couldn't respond to Leandra's words and remained silent until he finally fainted.

  "Hmm, it looks like that arrogant noble is already fast asleep, huh? Good," said Lily.

  "Thank you, Lily, Kotaro, for beating him up first," said Leandra.

  "It's okay, I was also annoyed by what he said before the match," said Lily.

  "I'm annoyed too, even though I'm not a non-human race like you. But his winning is really too much," said Kotaro.

  "Anyway, I thank you for making him like that and allowing me to say those words. But let's end this conversation, shouldn't we finish this match?" asked Leandra.

  "Yes, you're right. But are you okay? Even if you're alone right now, we won't hesitate," Lily said, preparing to attack.

  Kotaro also prepared to attack, wielding his sword.

  "You don't need to worry. We may have known each other for a long time, but you probably haven't seen this serious side of me yet. I'm very confident I can defeat you two even though I'm alone," Leandra said, slamming her wand on the floor.

  Around Leandra's body, a multitude of magic spheres made of wind, water, and fire appeared.

  The watching students were shocked to see Leandra able to use three elements simultaneously.

  "Come on, Lily, Kotaro," Leandra said.

  Lily and Kotaro advanced toward Leandra and attempted to attack her. Meanwhile, Leandra countered with the magic spheres surrounding her. Their match was quite intense and lasted quite a while. Even though Leandra was alone, she was able to keep up with Lily and Kotaro.

  And after a while, their match ended. The winner of this match surprised those watching. Because, as Leandra had said earlier, she managed to defeat Lily and Kotaro even though she was alone. However, Leandra also suffered considerable injuries from fighting them.

  "Isn't Leandra amazing? She even managed to defeat Lily and Kotaro alone. Is this all thanks to your teaching, Rid?" Julie asked.

  "I don't think so. It's thanks to her extraordinary ability and determination," I said.

  "You can just admit it's thanks to your training. But it's a shame her partner couldn't see Leandra win against Lily and Kotaro. If he saw it in person, he'd probably be embarrassed, because he couldn't even fight Lily and Kotaro at once," Julie said.

  "He doesn't need to see it in person, he'll definitely be embarrassed. What's clear is that the outcome of this match will change the atmosphere of Leandra and her partner's team," I said.

  Meanwhile, Leandra was seen carrying Lily to the edge of the training ground. Kotaro was being carried by Noa, having been asked by Leandra to help.

  "Wait, Leandra, what about your partner? Aren't you going to carry him?" Mr. Alan asked.

  "Partner? Yes, he's my partner in this exam, but he doesn't consider me his partner in this exam. So, am I wrong if I don't consider him my partner too? Just leave her lying there," said Leandra.

  Then she carried Lily to the edge of the training ground.

  -

  The next day.

  "Let's begin the drawing for today's match. For the team representatives, please come forward," said Mr. Alan.

  As usual, I told Julie to come forward to draw her lot. Meanwhile, on Leandra's team, and Ray's.

  "What's wrong? Come forward, usually you're the one to draw your lot," said Leandra.

  Ray remained silent, but eventually he came forward to draw his lot.

  "That bastard Elf, he's getting cocky just because he won the match alone yesterday," thought Ray.

  Then all the team representatives gathered and took their lottery tickets. I looked at Julie's ticket, and it showed the number 4. I looked for the ticket with the same number as Julie's and found it on a female student. If I'm not mistaken, her name was Lucy Fay, and she was Enzo's partner in this exam.

  "So, on the third day of the exam, I'll be facing Enzo, huh? This is my first time facing him in a match," I thought.

  Then I looked at the other numbers as well, just in case there was a match that caught my attention. Ray, Lily, and Chloe had already found their respective opponents, but I thought the opponents they would face looked ordinary. Until finally, some students became excited because they realized there would be an exciting match on the third day of the exam. They saw that Irene and Lotta both got number 10, which meant Noa & Irene would face Charles & Lotta in the final match.

  ???"Looks like we're going to have another match, Noa," said Charles, who was standing on the edge of the training ground.

  He seemed to be talking to Noa, who was next to him.

  "You're right, Charles. I may have always lost to you before, but this time I'll make sure I beat you," Noa said.

  "I'm looking forward to it," said Charles.
