The battle stage was quickly cleaned up by the palace servants, and in just a few short minutes, Saville was up on the stage with his teacher cheering behind him. His opponent was a 12-year-old dark-skinned teenage boy, who was carrying a sword sheathed in a red and gold sheath behind him.

"That boy looks young. Would he be alright?" Juin mumbled to himself as he watched the two bow to each other. For some reason, to him, Saville seemed to be a little less arrogant and somewhat shocked. "Saville seems a little off today…"

Hearing him, Tucker opened an eye to take a quick peek. Just as he was about to yawn, he suddenly sat up straight, as if someone had lit a fire behind him.

"Elysium…?!" Tucker looked straight with a confused expression. He then snatched the paper with the arrangement of the battles and narrowed his eyes as he quickly looked for Saville's opponent. "I didn't see it earlier. Caelian E. I thought it's Caelian Emilson. If I have known it's Caelian Elysium, I would have stopped Lann from leaving… Ah, she's going to regret this!"

"Who is he, Mr. Tucker?" Juin asked curiously when he saw Tucker's excited expression. 

"In the Order, there are a few big families, whose children are constantly under the supervision of everyone. One of them is the Elysiums."

As he said this, the air around the young boy seemed to congeal slightly, before turning visibly darker than what was normal. 

"The Elysiums are a family of Incubus/S.u.c.c.u.b.u.s. They are basically the land version of Maris Aegean. Like every other supernatural beings, when the Elysiums arrived on Earth, they were one of those who quickly decided to marry Earth humans and procreate with them. However, at the same time, they strongly believed in the importance of keeping their bloodline strong, making sure that their descendants marry supernatural beings ever other generation…" Tucker explained excitedly as he looked at the dark-skinned boy. 

"But over the years, the Elysiums mostly married supernatural beings with strong bloodlines…" Tucker's eyes narrowed dangerously as he said, "The result is offspring with ridiculously strong talent… That boy is reportedly a dual-power wielder…"

"Dual-power… What can he use?" Juin asked. 

"I'm not sure. So far, he has only ever used one, Wind." Tucker crossed his legs and said, "I'm not sure if the rumors that he's a dual-power wielder is true or not, but knowing his parents, I won't dismiss the rumors." 

"Are his parents strong?" 

"Not as strong as me, but still strong," Tucker said, folding his arms. "Or rather, their strength is mostly in their intelligence. His parents are both in the Council of Elders, and they are both highly respected both in and out of the supernatural world… Even President Presley has to be wary of them."

"Wait, wait, wait…" Juin suddenly turned to the side to look at Tucker face to face. His eyes widened as he asked, "Elysium… Are they the Elysiums from Elysium Conglomerate? The multinational company with their hands in everything?"

He then pointed at his shoes, which had a golden E logo embedded on the sides of the soles. "This Elysium!"

"Yup, they are the damn billionaires…" Tucker nodded slowly as he gave his student a wry grin. "That kid's life is worth more than what half the members of the Council of Elders have in their banks. That's why I'm surprised to see him here. While the Elysiums love to fight, however strong they are, it's usually in the matters of the bed, not on stage. Furthermore…"

He turned over to look at the kid, who had remained stoic since the beginning, and continued, "He's the only suitable heir in his generation… The next in line to inherit the Elysium Conglomerate. Even if Presley has made it clear that all children who are eligible have to try out for the teams, I'm sure that with the prestige and influence, the Elysiums could have prevented their heir from coming." 

Never in his life did he ever consider that the Elysiums would willingly send their only heir here. And the kid was pretty lowkey considering his background. Tucker was sure that he did not even see him at the banquet yesterday, and no one mentioned that he was coming at all. 

"Why are you so interested in him?" Juin suddenly asked. "It's rare for you to show interest in other people."

"I'm interested in all the strong ones. When you have reached my level, you'll be the same." 

"Then just fight with President Presley. He's strong, right?" 

"That man?" Tucker snorted. He then sighed in frustration before saying, "Sure, he's strong. But every time I challenged him, he would just fool around and purposely lose to me. I know he's stronger than me, but he never reveals it." 

He then looked at Juin and said, "Remember what I said before? When we were at the mansion?" 

Tucker raised a brow and nodded, as if to say, "You know what I want to say next?"

Juin nodded again. Tucker was warning him again, to never underestimate President Presley. Even if it seemed like President Presley's strength was up to a certain extent, he should always be wary of it and never believe it for a second. 

Sitting beside Juin, Cyrus shivered and nodded silently. He then took a quick glance at Presley, who was still chatting with the king and occasionally pointing at Saville and the kid, Caelin, before turning his eyes back to Juin and Tucker. 

Tucker noticed Cyrus' action, but he did not raise it up. Instead, he continued to say to Juin, "The same goes for your every opponent. Even when it seems that you are winning, the moment you choose to relax, it might be the end of you."

Looking into Tucker's eyes, where the red seemed to turn even redder, as if they were burning in inferno flames, Juin gulped and nodded. "Yes, sir!"

"Alright, watch the fight. You should learn more about their fighting habits so that you can deal with them should you face them later on…" 

Juin nodded and turned his whole body so that he was fully facing the stage. With a completely focused gaze, he blocked out everything else and just focused on the fight between the two.
