"Huh?" Kael breathed, his eyes arching slightly as a dumbfounded expression settled on his face while he struggled to process the youth's words.
It was all too absurd to make sense. Did the youth even know what he was suggesting? Matters like life-and-death battles were treated almost as sacred.
Not this lightly.
Besides, he wondered, where did the youth get this much confidence?
Despite possessing an absurdly strong physique, he didn't think that alone would be enough to face off against them. The stronger one became on the path to power, the more means they accrued to strengthen themselves.
Physical strength was just one among many sources of power.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became as his face contorted with rage. Before he could take it anymore.
"You..." Kael growled, pointing at the dark-robed youth.
The grey-robed academy elder beside him seemed to share his thoughts as he slowly shook his head in disappointment.
