"Yes!".

A blue-haired female student from another class shouted, which garnered everyone's attention. But to their surprise, the female walked confidently despite being buried by the glares of the other students. It seemed she held a good amount of confidence in her strength.

Soma didn't know who she was or what class she attended, but it was impressive not to be nervous in this kind of competition. No matter what great strength someone possesses, if they can't utilize it properly for a foolish reason, such as being nervous, they shouldn't enter the competition to begin with.

The female leaves the room accompanied by her classmates' silent cheer, and then the male teacher who comes delivering the news turns his attention to the other students present.

"For those who draw blank papers, they can stay in this place or sit on the spectator seat with your fellow classmates".

After the teacher said that, the students who were drawing blank paper exchanged looks between their teams, clouded by hesitation.

"Red hair, what should we do?".

"Let's go to the spectator seat and cheer for Soma".

"Mm, you are right, Soma; we are leaving".

"Soma, I know you can do it just fine".

"Thanks both of you".

After bidding their farewell, Hina and Xiao Lian walked slowly under the gaze of others. Gradually, everyone who drew blank paper also withdrew from the place. Even Lin Fan, who was disappointed by the outcome, clicked his tongue and reluctantly left the place.

There is only Soma, Leon, and seven other students from the first-year generation that stay. As the room cleared out, the atmosphere turned somewhat awkward. But, they held their own pride as the representatives of their class. So they held their tongue back to speak up and keep close exposure while concentrating on the match they would face later.

Soma glanced at his side only to find Leon unusually fidgeting while he sat stiffened like a statue.

"What is the matter, Leon? Nervous?".

"No, Maybe, yeah, a little bit".

From Soma's eyes, his words were pretty unreliable. His Feet were placed together, and both hands clenched on his thighs while his temple excreted cold sweat. Leon clearly has mental issues here.

However, despite all of the tension in his body right now, Soma could see that Leon was excited and brimming with determination, different from Leon, whom he knew.

"You seemed rather excited, though? What happened?".

"Eh, is that true? You can see it?".

"Well, a little bit!".

Soma spoke a lie. He could somehow guess what sort of determination and excited feelings Leon had. It was probably a matter of his family attending the competition that would be held tomorrow. So, he resolved himself to win this match no matter what and advance to the next round.

This situation was both good and bad for Leon. Indeed, It boosts if he succeeds. He will gain confidence to fulfill his family's wishes, but the current situation will become his downfall if things get worse later on.

Despite knowing all of that, Soma didn't have any intention of holding back from fighting him if they met, even though maybe Leon would face his downfall.

This was not because Soma had given up on him, but because he believed in his potential if that was still written like in the script.

"I see. Well, as someone who observed you and had some experience battling you, I have some words for you."

Leon's face tensed as he seriously turned his gaze to Soma while gulping his saliva.

"What is it?".

"...Believe in the power that chooses you!".

"...?! What do you mean by that?".

"That's all".

Soma straightened his posture and began to sit in his lotus position, closing his eyes. His breath began to flow rhythmically, with each slow and deep breath, inhaling the natural energy to enter his body and spread throughout his veins.

Leon, seeing his state, opened his jaw, trying to start a conversation. However, noticing Soma had entered his meditation state, he swallowed back his words and began to immerse himself in his own thoughts.

"Believe in the power that chooses me, huh?".

Unconsciously, Leon raised the back of his right palm and witnessed the sun tattoo still plastered on his unblemished skin. The effect of the mark and title he obtained through this savior thing was incredibly amazing.

He gained five times boost his experience points, and every time he trained his skill, his skill proficiency went up so fast that he thought it was all a joke.

However, that was all real, and whenever he leveled up or his skill reached another height, Leon could feel his body is brimming with tremendous power. The power itself had no limit as long as he kept his positive mind.

There is also one other thing that is still hidden after he obtained the title of Savior, which has not been shown yet because it is still shrouded in Mystery. One of his obtained skills was written with question marks all over, making Leon ponder what the skill was about.

While he was waiting, the second participant got called, and Leon, who had a number third on his paper, tensed his muscles and began to gaze at his surroundings; seeing his restless face made the other candidates' hearts flutter whether it was male or female. Leon's natural charm was enhanced when he acted restless like this; for once, he was called like a dog with a tail on his back.

Time passed, and eventually, the door in the room opened, and the same teacher entered inside while speaking.

"Gray paper number three, prepare yourself; the match will begin in a moment!".

"Yes!".

Leon's shout shook the atmosphere in the room. The cute puppy dog eyes he had gotten earlier were replaced by sharp eyes that pierced everyone's guard and heart, especially women. Leon's dignified aura, which suddenly came out after his act earlier, made their hearts thump wildly because of the gap between his expressions.

As he stood up from the chair and turned toward Soma, he noticed Soma was in rather deep meditation. He felt bad for waking him up, so Leon nodded his head and strolled away, leaving Soma.

"Good luck, Leon".

Leon's body stiffened. He turned his body back and saw Soma still closing his eyes. Once again, he felt a deep admiration from the bottom of his heart, witnessing Soma's sharp senses.

"Yeah, thank you, Soma".

One word from someone he admired in the academy gave him much courage to face his opponent in the match. While walking in the corridor, slowly, Leon regulated his breathing, trying to calm his restless heart.

When he saw the light coming from an open arena, his heart started to beat, and a rush of adrenaline in his veins heightened his senses.

Once he stepped outside, cheers from the students and spectators startled him. Leon lifted his gaze only to find many students cheering excitedly toward the match that would be held at any moment.

In the middle of the arena, there is a lone girl, a senior in her second year. She is a beautiful girl shrouded by a mysterious aura. She is Akane, one of Leon's heroines in the Chronicle Saga.

The plot for the Hero that has been halted, its gears began to move proceedings toward its awakening.
