"Barion, you wouldn''t mind if we hopped into here to enjoy the show, would you?"


    One of the three figuresughed as soon as theynded in the arena beside Barion. He was a middle-aged man with short silver hair, a well-built body, and white and blue clothing.


    "Hahahaha, Estor, how could I reject you now that you are here? Also, ose is here too. I can''t reject two Magi Kings at the same time, could I?"


    Barionughed as he weed them.


    "Forgive me for arriving without any prior notice. My daughter wanted toe here and meet Emily. We happened to be at ose''s ce when ose mentioned the assessment happening in your family, so I thought, Why not alle and enjoy the show together?"


    "You did the right thing, Estor. You don''t need to worry about anything."


    Barion nodded to him and at that moment, he noticed the third figuree closer to him and bow to him.


    "Uncle Barion, we will meet again."


    "Haha, no need to be so formal with me, Niece Elyn. You''ve beening regrly these past 5–6 years, so make yourself at home."


    Barion nodded at Elyn and turned to look at the crowd gathered at the huge arena.


    "Everyone wees the Magi King of ckmist Haven—Estor Ravenw, the Magi King of Hailee Haven—ose Stormrider andst but not least, the sole student of the Sword Sage—the Divine Fairy herself—Elyn Ravenw."


    The crowd erupted into cheers as soon as Barion announced their names. Especially when the name of Elyn Ravenw was mentioned, the cheer was the loudest. Her fame reached far and wide, even to thes under a Magi King.


    Meanwhile, Orion was also looking at Elyn himself. In fact, his whole attention has been on them since the moment they arrived on stage.


    Earlier, he had doubted if this Elyn was the same Elyn whom he had seen at the nt Sad but looking at her now, he felt they couldn''t be the same person.


    The Elyn in front of him was the epitome of beauty. She had long silver hair and a cute, beautiful face. Her dark blue clothing only made her even more attractive.


    If Orion had to rate her, he would say she was the most beautiful human he had ever seen.


    Her beauty contrasted sharply with the Elyn he had seen on Sad, who had scratch marks all over her face. This made Orion believe they couldn''t be the same person.


    Though he wasn''t sure, Since he could change his face, so could others. He would have to ask her in person to know the real truth.


    ''Besides that, she really is the luckiest person in the world.''


    Regarding her beauty, Orion felt that if the luckiest person in the whole world wasn''t this beautiful, then that person wasn''t worthy of the title.


    As he was wondering, Butler Rio arranged seats for the two Magi Kings as Elyn went and sat with Emily.


    "Everyone, let''s start the assessment."


    Seeing that everything else was fine, Barion looked at the crowd and dered the start of the assessment.


    After that, he went and took his seat, which was in the middle of where the other two Magi Kings were sitting.


    At that moment, Butler Rio tookmand.


    "Participants, get on to the stage."


    Orion and the other seven individuals went and appeared on stage along with Butler Rio.


    "I will be the judge of the assessment," Butler Rio said as he looked at each of them. "When I leave the stage, you all can begin."


    As he said those words, he began walking towards the edge of the arena.


    The seven participants became tense as they watched him slowly walk. They knew that the moment his two feet left the stage, all hell would loosen upon them.


    Everyone wanted to win, and most importantly, nobody wanted to be the first one eliminated. It would be the biggest humiliation they could suffer in their life. After all, being eliminated first meant being seen as the weakest among them, which would be especially humiliating in front of the three Magi Kings.


    Therefore, in a scenario where they couldn''t trust each other, only by attacking and eliminating the weakest could they at least save their faces from being humiliated.


    And the weakest, ording to everyone except Luke and Monty, was Orion.


    In fact, Orion himself could see that as much as their attention was on Butler Rio, they were also focused on him.


    Orion smiled upon seeing that. He understood their intentions but only he knew that it would be their biggest mistake.


    Seeing that Butler Rio was about to leave the stage, he activated the curse of Berserk Body in Curse Transformation mode and also activated electrostatic disruption normally.


    A shimmeringyer of glow covered his whole body as he used absolute defence.


    He had decided to only reveal his physical strength and the ability to disrupt electrostatics.


    There wasn''t a particr reason behind this; he just felt he wouldn''t need to use his other curses against them. They were, after all, only at the peak of silver rank.


    At the same time, he also noticed others also activated their talent and used the first form of the Three Divine Ways as a core manifested behind each of them.


    ''Ipletely forgot about this.''


    Orion thought. He then, too, used the first form of the Three Divine Ways. As he did that, his body released ck, glowing particles before they gathered together to form a pitch-ck core that hovered behind his back.


    This presentation of his divine core caught the attention of his father and many other individuals.


    "He mastered the first form in a day."


    Barion muttered to himself as he looked at Orion deeply.


    "Who?" asked Estor, who was sitting beside him.


    "My youngest son," replied Barion.


    Estor looked confused for a moment.


    "Isn''t your youngest son the one who couldn''t awaken his talent and you brought him to my old man to check what was wrong with him years ago?"


    A proud smile appeared on Barion''s face as he looked at him.


    "Yeah, he is indeed the one I am talking about. Like others, he also went away from the families for the test and when he returned after five years, he had awakened his talent."


    Estor''s expression turned serious after hearing Barion.


    "You are saying that not only did he awaken his talent but he also mastered the first form of the Three Divine Ways in just a day."


    Barion nodded to him.


    Seeing his nod, Estor smiled wryly.


    "Barion, if I didn''t have my daughter, I would definitely be jealous of you for having such talented sons and daughters."


    "Hahaha, I know you definitely will be."


    As Barion said those words, both of themughed.


    Meanwhile, ose Stormrider''s expression was gloomy as he heard the two talking. No one knew what he was thinking.


    At the same time, the other seven participants also looked surprised that Orion managed to master the first form of the Three Divine Ways in just a day. They knew that one could only get this technique if one was deemed important by the family, be it the servants or the descendants.


    In their case, they had to pass the test to get ess to this technique. So, they knew Orion at most had two days to master the first form and that itself was a grand thing, considering some of them even took months to do it.


    However, they didn''t have time to get shocked about that, as Butler Rio soon reached near the arena. He was just two steps away from finally leaving the stage.
