The next day, the academy was already buzzing with rumors about me.

  **Lucian von Kaiser returned.**

  **Lucian made Aria hesitate.**

  **Lucian is still trash.**

  That last one annoyed me.

  So, I decided to **speedrun my next objective.**

  This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

  During lunch break, I walked straight into the **combat training hall**.

  Students turned as I entered. Conversations halted.

  I hopped onto the **dueling stage** and crossed my arms.

  "Ladies and gentlemen," I said, voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "Let’s make things fun."

  The crowd murmured.

  "I challenge any of the **Future Seven** to a duel."

  Silence. Then—

  **"I accept."**

  A powerful voice rang out.

  I turned to see **Dante Everworth**, the beastkin warrior, stepping forward with a predatory grin.

  The crowd exploded in excitement.

  **"Dante versus Lucian? This is gonna be brutal!"**

  **"Dante is a monster in physical combat!"**

  **"Lucian is going to get destroyed!"**

  **Let them think that.**

  I smirked. **I want tosee their reactions after I beat this pet**, obviously after all I am the mc ??

  I gripped my sword and loaded my gun. **Time for American breathing**.

  **This was my real introduction.**
