"It's him," muttered Mina upon seeing Eman's figure.

Sol, on the other hand, showed a smile that briefly stunned Mina and the Princess.

Regardless, Princess Liya narrowed her eyes, following the young man who was walking calmly.

Wait. He looked familiar to her! Princess Liya tried to ponder about this man.

Right, right. He was that guy. The guy she saw at the banquet and the guy that supposedly their target for assassination.

Now, now. This clan battle turned out to be interesting. She was glad she came to see it. She wondered how strong he had become after their battle.

The audience on the benches were all but murmurs and whispers after seeing that there was only a person from the Merciless clan who came to the arena.

"What the merciless fool was thinking?"

"Sssh! Maybe he wanted to kowtow alone and beg for forgiveness."

"Mm, idiots! Then why did he have to do it in the middle of the crowd? If I was him, I would go to the Red Drake clan headquarters and beg for their forgiveness."

"Right, right. That makes more sense."

The people around started to comment on the unusual situation.

Somewhere around the arena, "Miss Han, it is him," pointed a female student to Eman who was calmly and unhurriedly walking towards the center, to where the members of the Red Drake Clan were waiting like some bosses.

Hannah remained quiet as she was staring at his figure. Her feelings at the moment were conflicted and contradicted.

Of course, there was still the love she felt towards him, but also, the hate. Hate was dominating as she felt betrayed by him. And the sin he did to her and her family wasn't easy to forgive.

She loved him, yet she hated him.

Looking at him, she felt he changed a lot. The way he walked and brought himself. Also, his fight against Jura proved that his change wasn't only minimal. Even his strength showed a dramatic improvement.

For some reason, she felt like the current Eman was more dangerous. Especially if he continued his vile actions towards innocent girls.

Hannah's lips trembled slightly when she bit them.

"Yo! Fufufu, are you a lost lamb?! Hahaha!" With a mocking laugh, the captain of the Red Drake Clan greeted with a question when Eman arrived 20 steps away from them.

"....."

Eman stopped on his feet. Actually, he tried some ways to settle these issues. But he learned that a lower-ranked clan had almost no privilege. They could not even use the Clan-Protection-System.

There were only two paths he could choose, to accept the challenge or disband the clan.

Regardless, after claiming the leadership role, he was already set on one choice.

Eman's mouth extended to both sides. Although they were going to battle an F-rank nonbattle-oriented clan, there were 10 members of the Red Drake Clan who were standing in front of him.

Kuku.

Eman sneered.

"So, are these all the numbers you need to defeat a mere F-rank clan? Fufufu, aren't you a proud clan?" Eman asked in a mocking tone.

The captain of the Red Drake Clan frowned.

"You!" 

"What are you trying to point out, huh?!"

The members of the Red Drake Clan bellowed at him.

Eman grinned. "Isn't it too obvious?" Right. Most of them knew where he was coming from.

The people who were currently present to witness the battle were wondering what they were talking about. Unfortunately, they could not hear their conversation. They could only wait for the start of the battle.

The captain of the Red Drake Clan squinted his eyes. "So, are you proposing a duel?" He asked while glaring at him.

They believed it was his purpose for saying those lines. Especially that the Merciless clan could not win against their number. So he was provoking them for a duel instead of a clan battle.

Regardless, it was futile. The Red Drake clan was known for taking advantage of what little advantage they have. 

However, Eman chuckled. "Fufu, not really. I mean, what will the others feel about you when a single person from the F-rank clan beats you guys of the B-rank alone?"

What!

The members of the Red Drake Clan gawked upon hearing him. Then they start laughing on top of their lungs.

HAHAHA!

"What nonsense are you spouting dumbass?!" Asked the captain with tears in the corner of his eyes.

Not only him, but all his men were also batshit laughing at Eman's words. This is just too much of a joke statement that they heard in their whole life.

A 100 percent out of sense! Hahaha!

The audience wondered what they were talking about. Why are the members of the Red Drake Clan suddenly guffawed?

There was no rule stating the minimum number of participants in a clan battle. As long as there was a member from each clan who joined the battle, it was a big fine.

Eman's mouth curved upward.

"The appointed time has come. There are members from the opposite clan present. So there is no reason to not start the battle!" Suddenly, an announcement came out from nowhere. It resounded around the arena. The voice was feminine and young based on how Eman hears it.

Eman was quite surprised. He wondered what kind of devices they were using. But when he glanced around, he could not spot a single speaker. Perhaps it was done through an incredible magic spell.

Although the battle was about to begin, most of the audience was still wondering if there was really one member from the Merciless Clan going to participate in this battle.

"Ugh, won't it end so fast?"

"Of course, it will! What can a mere one man do against ten?"

"Despite that, he's up against the Red Drake Clan. Most of their members are higher level."

"In addition, there is their captain."

"This will be a boring fight."

"Haha, right, right. So unsatisfying."

The other students commented with crestfallen.

"Alright, everyone! Let's roll the dice," said the announcer.

"Wait, it isn't a fighting battle?" The princess asked while gawking.

"Fufu, what are you saying princess? Of course, it depends on what kind of battle will get selected. It's random."

"Really?" The princess was surprised.

Mina chuckled. Well, she understood, since the princess was only a first year.

Sol on the other hand just didn't care what kind of battle it was. Her eyes and attention were on him only.

A flat yellowish widescreen suddenly appeared overhead Eman and the Red Drake clan. In it were empty squares. 

"Alright! Let's start the shuffle!"

The squares randomly glowed for about 10 seconds before the glow stopped in a specific square.

"The selected battle is…"
