Arthur slowly rose to his feet.
There wasn't a single visible injury on his body.
He casually brushed the dust off his martial arts uniform before rolling his shoulders as though Layla's devastating punch had been nothing more than a light warm-up.
A faint smile appeared on his face as he looked directly at her.
"So... that was your first move. Two more remain. Come at me."

Layla simply stared at him.
Then...
A wide smile slowly spread across her face.
Not one of mockery.
Not one of arrogance.
But one of pure excitement.
'Interesting...'
'He took that attack head-on without a scratch.'
'It's been a long time since someone made me this excited.'
Nearly six months had passed since she had awakened the Prodigy System.
Since then, countless quests, trials, and life-threatening battles had forged her into the academy's greatest prodigy.
Among all the rewards she had received...
One stood above the rest.
Supreme Martial Arts.
