Eros: If you guys still doubt my combat ability, I can challenge one of you to a one-on-one fight, and even if I lose, I am still confident that I wouldn’t go down without a fight. If not for that confidence, I wouldn’t have volunteered to be part of the combat group.

Allen: Don’t worry, I trust your capabilities.

Eros: Thanks, Allen.

Allen: You’re welcome. Anyways, aside from Carrion, Lei, Hildegard, Jade, Aimee, and Eros, who else will join the combat group?

Allen asked his classmates yet again as he waited for their response but it didn’t take long for one of them to respond.

Arthur: I will.

Arthur Pastell, the <Supreme Artist>, volunteered to be part of the combat group which surprised his classmates since they knew from Arthur’s build that he wasn’t fitted for fighting._.

Arthur looked like a shut-in who had never done any exercise in his life so someone like him who had such a build wasn’t fitted to be a fighter and his classmates knew that so they were confused on why he volunteered to be part of the combat group.

Noticing that his classmates went silent due to confusion, Arthur decided that he will explain why he volunteered to join the combat group despite having a thin build that wasn’t built for fighting.

Arthur: All of you already know about my title as the <Supreme Artist>, right? And all of you have already witnessed the effects of my <<Creative World>> skill which was tantamount to those secret realms or mini worlds from cultivation novels.

Carrion: Yes, we haven’t forgotten that skill of yours but what’s the point if you can’t bring your opponent to your art world? Even my <<Strategist’s Domain>> was able to alter your <<Creative World>>.

Arthur: That was because I have allowed you to alter my art world. If I had interfered, you wouldn’t be able to do that even if you use all of your willpower to do so.

Carrion: Ho? Is that a challenge?

Arthur: It’s not, but I won’t back down if you challenge me.

Carrion was taunted by Arthur’s words since as the <Supreme General>, no one would challenge him like that openly. As for Arthur, he didn’t intend to challenge Carrion but it didn’t mean he would back down if Carrion challenged him for a duel.

After all, despite being a silent shut-in who was too immersed in focusing on his art, Arthur was still a man, and his pride as a man would be damaged if he backed down from a challenge.

Carrion: I won’t back down from a challenge as well but I suggest we save our energy and not show off our powers lest the Supreme Academy obtain more information about our <Supreme> talents.

Carrion was anything but a coward but it didn’t mean he was stupid enough to openly fight against Arthur since he knew that doing so would alert the Supreme Academy and if a staff of the Supreme Academy was able to spectate on their battle, they would be able to obtain more information about their <Supreme> talents.

Arthur: I agree. I am also not stupid enough to reveal our capabilities to the Supreme Academy since the less the Supreme Academy knows about our <Supreme> talents, the better and more advantageous for us.

Arthur agreed to Carrion’s proposal of not battling against each other in the open or else they would expose more of their capabilities as a <Supreme> to the Supreme Academy.

Allen: About that, you guys don’t have to worry as you can fight in my house for all you want without having to fear the Supreme Academy’s surveillance. @Carrion, and @Arthur, are you up for it?

Allen didn’t want to stop such an interesting battle between two <Supremes> to end before it even started so he offered the venue for their battle to be held in his house.

Allen was confident to claim that the most secure and safest place in his world was his house since he had invested most of his ability in fortifying his house.

Carrion: As I have said before, I won’t back down from a challenge. If Arthur is still interested, I will battle against him in your house, @Allen.

Arthur: @Allen, I will gladly accept that. @Carrion, prepare yourself for I will not back down from a challenge.

Carrion and Arthur didn’t plan to postpone their battle against each other especially when Allen himself had offered them a venue for their battle to be held at.

And from what they have heard from Allen himself, Allen had boasted about how he had fortified his house so they were confident that Allen’s words about his house being free from the Supreme Academy’s surveillance were true.

With that assurance from Allen, Carrion and Arthur knew that they could battle against each other for all they want without having the fear of being discovered by the Supreme Academy.

Allen: Good. Since both of you have agreed, the battle will be held tomorrow after school. Is that time good for the both of you?

Allen asked Carrion and Arthur whether the two of them were free at that time.

Carrion: I have nothing to do other than attend school so I am free almost any time. So yeah, I can attend the battle at that time.

Arthur: I mostly use my time to improve my art but other than that, I can make time for the battle. Like Carrion, I can also attend the battle at that time.

With that, both Carrion and Arthur agreed on the date of their battle that Arthur had mentioned.

Allen: Good. I have already created a part in my house where you all can have training and battles so that your skills won’t get rusty. With those facilities in my house, you all won’t need to worry about your training being exposed by the Supreme Academy.

Allen: With my name, I can assure you all that my house is surveillance proof so the Supreme Academy can only dream of infiltrating my house.

With assurance from Allen himself, Carrion and Arthur knew that they didn’t have to worry about their battle being spied on by the Supreme Academy.

Carrion: Anyways, @Arthur, why are you confident in being part of the group?
