LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 422: Luma
The battles in the morning proceeded quickly, and Charles did not encounter any opponents worthy of his serious attention.
The situation on Luna and Finn's side was similar, after all, in a place like Genosha, there are few individuals under twenty who can become Level Four Beast Masters.
"This Wayne is simply despicable. His opponent in the second match was a Level Four Beast Master, someone he had no grudge against, and he publicly humiliated him."
"Not only that, you wouldn't believe it, but Wayne directly used lightning energy to paralyze his opponent's body, preventing him from surrendering. If the referee hadn't intervened, seeing that the other contestant could no longer fight, Wayne would have continued to torment him!"
"This guy looks noble and elegant, but in reality, he's a complete pervert!"
"I feel the same way. The smile on his face while he was tormenting his opponent was enough to make anyone's skin crawl!"
"I just wonder who could give him a good lesson. A Level Five Beast Master is still quite strong in Genosha, and ordinary geniuses are simply no match for him."
The events of the morning continued to escalate on the Genosha network.
After all, there hasn't been much else happening in Genosha lately, and everyone's attention is focused on the inter-academy competition, eager to see their favored contestants win.
However, it's puzzling what the Genosha officials were thinking when they allowed a Beast Master from the Haunted Marsh to participate in this competition.
This decision has left countless people in Genosha scratching their heads in confusion.
In the face of Wayne's arrogant behavior and his cruel tormenting, others have no good way to respond, merely accumulating anger in their hearts, hoping that a genius from Genosha will teach Wayne a lesson in the next match.
Meanwhile, in the Cyber Academy, in a private room on the second floor of the cafeteria.
Charles, Zachary, Camilla, and Luna were having lunch together.
"Charles, that Wayne is so audacious. Especially after knowing about your experience in defeating a Level Five Beast Master, he still dares to act this way. He must have some hidden trump card." Zachary said with some concern.
He had been fortunate in the morning, not encountering any formidable opponents, and maintained a clean sweep of victories.
Charles nodded, he was well aware of the situation, but there was nothing to worry about.
Even if Wayne's strength were to increase to the Level Six Beast Master level, without the use of orange-quality miracle drugs and the Black Gold Long Knife, Charles was confident he could defeat him.
However, it might turn into a battle of attrition, utilizing Divine Domain to continuously evade Wayne's attacks and then counter-strike at the optimal moment. With this strategy, even against a Level Six Beast Master, he wouldn't be afraid.
After all, his physical condition was incredibly robust, and he wasn't worried about excessive fatigue at all!
"Wayne shouldn't be taken too seriously. Charles will definitely defeat him. But I heard from my father that a very strong genius has emerged from Kingston. Some of the teachers at Kingston Cyber Academy are no match for him." Camilla said with some concern.
She knew that Charles would surely represent Genosha in a competition against Kingston's genius. In any country's Cyber Academy, the general requirement for employment is the strength of a Level Six Beast Master.
Aside from a few specific courses that require scholars in Beast Mastery.
Seeing the worry on Camilla's face, a spark of desire to fight ignited in Charles's heart.
A competitor who could defeat the teachers of the Cyber Academy would surely provide him with a real battle!
"What is that person's name?" Charles asked slowly.
Camilla looked up slightly, thought for a moment, and replied, "I heard my father say that the genius is named Skylar!"
"Skylar?" Charles repeated the name, noting that such a name was quite rare.

After finishing their meal, the group took a short break before heading directly to the sports arena to wait for the match list to be announced.
Charles quietly watched the large screen in the stadium, lost in thought, unsure of what was on his mind.
At that moment, Luna quietly approached him, turned to look at Charles, and said with a complex gaze:
"You were right."
Charles was slightly taken aback. He slowly shifted his gaze to Luna, speaking with a hint of surprise, "What was right?"
"Let the match continue." Luna did not shy away but instead looked directly into Charles's eyes, speaking firmly.
Charles took a deep breath, he hadn't expected Luna to sense his thoughts.
"Don't worry, I don't regret anything. I'm just thinking, if my strength were a bit greater, would there be another way for Jace to overcome his mental block without suffering?" Charles said softly.
Earlier in the morning, beside the arena where Jace was competing against Wayne, Charles had clearly sensed the defiance and determination in Jace's eyes. He knew that Jace wanted to face a Level Five Beast Master again to completely eradicate the weak version of himself from the past!
That's why he insisted on letting the match continue.
Luna shook her head and responded without hesitation, "No."
Charles glanced at Luna but chose not to speak again.
His gaze shifted to Nova Academy, where Wayne was currently chatting cheerfully with Grace. Wayne noticed Charles's gaze and openly locked eyes with him.
Under Charles's scrutiny, Wayne slowly extended his hand and made a gesture as if to behead.
Charles felt no turmoil within, to him, Wayne was already a worthless opponent!
"What's wrong? Were you just looking at Charles?" Grace instinctively turned to glance at Charles.
Wayne wore an elegant and gentle smile as he spoke,
"Grace, I heard there's a scheduled duel between you and Charles. Don't worry, today or tomorrow, I'll make sure you see Charles's defeat."
Grace furrowed her brows slightly, she instinctively took half a step back and looked at Wayne, saying:
"I can handle my own matters. When the time comes, I will personally defeat Charles."
Wayne was taken aback for a moment. He sensed a hint of resistance in Grace's attitude, which immediately irritated him.
"That brat! Just a noble from a small city. If it weren't for the treasure you hold, I would have sent you packing a long time ago!" Wayne silently cursed.
However, his expression didn't change at all, he still maintained his elegance and warmth, speaking with certainty:
"I believe in you. After all, I've seen your efforts, and Charles won't be your match. By the way, do you have time tonight?"
"I thought about going out for a stroll, but since I'm not familiar with the area, if you have time, could you be my guide and help me experience the uniqueness of Genosha?"
Grace nodded in response to Wayne's invitation.
Wayne's heart leaped with joy, as long as Grace agreed to go out with him, he had various ways to quickly boost her feelings for him!
"Perfect! I have some other friends I haven't seen in a while. We can call them out and go together." Grace said slowly.
Wayne's expression suddenly stiffened, and a flicker of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he still replied:
"That's fine. If I run into Charles later, that would be even better. We can celebrate properly."
Time passed quickly,
Amid everyone's anticipation, the large screen in the stadium flickered and displayed one matchup after another.
In the Cyber Academy section, some people looked at the list with ecstatic joy, while others sighed and complained about their opponents being too strong.
"How could it be him?" Zachary frowned at the name of his opponent that appeared on the big screen.
His opponent was also a Level Four Beast Master, but it was Finn, who had participated in the underground world challenge known as "Reaper's Scythe"!
Zachary took a deep breath, trying to maintain his inner calm, and said to Charles and the others:
"My opponent has been confirmed. I'm heading to the arena now."
Charles glanced up slightly and noticed Finn's name. He knew that Zachary had little hope of winning this fight.
Finn was considerably stronger than Zachary, and in terms of combat awareness and experience, Zachary was far behind Finn.
"Just do your best." Charles said slowly.
Zachary nodded and turned to walk toward the arena.
The matchup list for Charles was also confirmed. His opponent was still someone he had never heard of, just another Level Four Beast Master, but at least it would allow him to stretch his legs a bit.
In the audience, countless Genosha spectators were fixated on the big screen. When they saw Charles's opponent, someone immediately exclaimed:
"Look, Charles's opponent in this match is Luma!"
"What? Luma? He's been a Level Four Beast Master for a long time. He hasn't been in Genosha Calivia for a while, but I heard he got stronger after returning. He's a key player in this competition!"
"I watched his previous matches, none of his opponents could push him to his limits. I wonder how long he can hold out against Charles."
"Talk about bad luck! The competition just started, and he runs into Charles. Now he'll have to compete in the loser's bracket to qualify."
Listening to the discussions around him, Luma took a deep breath. He hadn't expected his luck to be so bad to face Charles.
"Although Charles has killed a Level Five Beast Master before, he always used that black longsword. He can't use his weapon in this match, so I still have a chance!" Luma thought to himself.
As Charles stepped onto the arena, Luma immediately extended his hand toward the referee and said:
"I request to use a weapon, I'll choose a longsword!"
