Juin was soon told to get down to the battle stage and get ready, so he quickly met up with Tucker and Cyrus before heading down with them. When he got there, Lann and Luca were already there, and they were discussing something among themselves.
They had both donned themselves in blue clothes, with Lann wearing a dark blue dress with light blue stripes that resembled the typical style of the Arconians. Meanwhile, Luca was only wearing a pair of dark blue pants with the same stripes.
They were in contrast with Juin and his gang, who were wearing the Earth clothing that they wore here on the first day.
When they saw Juin and the rest, Lann smiled and waved at them. She then walked toward them while Luca stayed behind to stretch.
"Hey, Juin, Tucker, Cyrus…" she greeted each and every one of them with her usual kind smile.
"You look great, Ms. Lann," Juin said politely.
"Thanks," Lann replied. "I'm surprised you guys didn't wear the clothes that the king sent over…"
The king had actually sent new sets of clothes to everyone from the Order a few hours earlier.
"Juin's power is flames, so Mr. Tucker said that he would probably burn the clothes during the battle, and that would be a waste," Cyrus explained as he glanced at the crowd on the spectator seats.
Lann smiled and nodded, patting Cyrus on the head for a few seconds. She then looked at Tucker and said, "I hope that whatever happens today, you'll not hold any grudges. This is just a little sparring session between our students."
"Of course," Tucker said with a smirk. "But maybe you should tell that to your student. I'm glad that he has changed targets to direct his anger to, but I'm not sure that I like the fact that he's constantly shooting Juin death glare. For those who don't know it, they might think that he's trying to flirt with my young student…"
"Luca can be… a bit intense sometimes, but he's a good boy. He knows that a competition on stage ends on the stage." She then glanced at Juin briefly before saying to Tucker, "Maybe after this battle, the two might be best friends or something. After all, it's not unheard of for people to bond after an intense fight. That's how you and King Adam bonded, no?"
"We'll see…" Tucker said with a nonchalant wave of his hand. Even though it was hard, he had accepted Adam's death. His face changed slightly for a short moment when he thought about the friend that he used to spar with, and there was still a part of him that regretted not coming here for a long time… But there was nothing he could do now. He was gone.
"By the way, the bet is still on right?" Tucker suddenly asked, changing the topic abruptly.
"The bet?" Lann blinked a few times. "Oh, on who is going to end up in a higher rank? They have both made it to the First Team, and whoever's student made it to the captain rank will win… So yeah, of course it's still on."
She then looked at Juin and said, "Good luck, Juin. You have surprised me a lot with your battle against Saville earlier, and I can definitely see the growth in you compared to when we first met and from what Luca told me before. Today, let's just try your best. I'm hoping to see a great fight between you and Luca."
"Thank you, Ms. Lann," Juin replied with a polite smile. He then watched Lann walk back to Luca before saying to Tucker, "Do you think I can win?"
Tucker thought for a moment before saying, "Based on what you showed me… I think you have a higher chance of winning now then before we came to Atlantis."
Hearing him, Juin could not help but raise a brow. "You actually have so much faith in me now?"
"You?" Tucker scoffed. "No. The demon soul in you? Yes. Demons are a very proud race, and as long as they can help it, they won't want to lose to a human since they view humans as a lesser race. And based on the new skills that you learned, that the demon soul taught you to help you win, I'm sure that he will step in if you are about to lose here…"
Juin wanted to tell him that Lucifer had no intention of stepping in or merging with him since the guy wanted to use this as a training opportunity to Juin, but in the end, he merely smiled and shrugged helplessly as he thought, "Tucker was right; demons are proud. They are also extremely stubborn. Since no one knows His Majesty's true identity, there was no way he would care about whether or not he would lose to a human… Especially since the one losing would be me."
"Alright," Tucker said as he patted Juin's shoulders. "Warm up, the battle will start in a few minutes."
Cyrus looked up at Juin and asked, "Am I joining this battle?"
Juin glanced at Luca, who coincidentally looked over at the same time, and mumbled, "No… I want to do this with my own strength."
And so, Cyrus was benched with Tucker, and these two quickly went to their special seats.
When Juin and Luca faced off on the stage, waiting for the Head Judge's instruction, Luca said, "This won't be like last time. I was taken aback last time, but now… I'm fully prepared."
Juin narrowed his eyes and smirked. "So am I…"
The crowd was going wild from the spectator seats, and half of them were chanting Luca's name while the other half were chanting Juin's name. It seemed that they did not learn their lessons, and they still placed a lot in their bets.
When Juin looked up, he saw that the royals were back on their seats. He then placed his hand in his pant pocket and said to the Head Judge, "Can I have a minute?"
