The next day, the academy was already buzzing with rumors about me.


    **Lucian von Kaiser returned.**


    **Lucian made Aria hesitate.**


    **Lucian is still trash.**


    That last one annoyed me.


    So, I decided to **speedrun my next objective.**

    During lunch break, I walked straight into the **combat training hall**.


    Students turned as I entered. Conversations halted.


    I hopped onto the **dueling stage** and crossed my arms.


    "Ladies and gentlemen," I said, voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "Let’s make things fun."


    The crowd murmured.


    "I challenge any of the **Future Seven** to a duel."


    Silence. Then—


    **"I accept."**


    A powerful voice rang out.


    I turned to see **Dante Everworth**, the beastkin warrior, stepping forward with a predatory grin.


    The crowd exploded in excitement.


    **"Dante versus Lucian? This is gonna be brutal!"**


    **"Dante is a monster in physical combat!"**


    **"Lucian is going to get destroyed!"**


    **Let them think that.**


    I smirked. **I want tosee their reactions after I beat this pet**, obviously after all I am the mc ??


    I gripped my sword and loaded my gun. **Time for American breathing**.


    **This was my real introduction.**
