The hall was silent for a heartbeat, everyone processing the sheer speed and control he displayed.
The arena fell completely silent.
Every student was stunned.
Even Michael, watching from the stands, couldn't hide his shock.
It wasn't just that he had underestimated Rowan.
Even if he hadn't known who Rowan was until today, he would still be shocked.
A Sword Saint… going toe-to-toe with a Sword God… without even releasing his aura?
What kind of monster is this…?
Rowan noticed the silence.
He glanced around.
Ah… I see. Everyone's shocked.
Like I said… no one knows how truly powerful I am.
But still… I won't let anyone look down on me.
Velqira pushed forward, her blade pressing against his.
Rowan responded instantly—
He forced her back.
She skidded across the ground, her feet dragging as she stabilized herself.
Her expression sharpened.
Her aura flared stronger.
A red glow surged around her body.
Then—
She vanished.
Boom!
