While the match had not officially started yet, Charles glanced over at Finn's situation.
Finn had exhausted a lot of energy in the previous match and had sustained so injuries. Although he had his miracle drug, it would still have so impact on him.
However, Finn was fortunate, he faced a level four Beast Master who was decent but not Luna, so winning shouldn't be a problem.
"It seems the officials don't want Finn to have bad luck either. eting earlier must have been their way of determining the outco in advance." Charles thought to himself.
He knew that the Genosha officials would definitely not allow such a strong talent like Finn to be eliminated due to unforeseen circumstances.
If he hadn't given Finn the miracle drug for recovery earlier, that bye slot would have belonged to Finn.
In that case, he could have taken the ti to recover properly.
This is the treatnt afforded to powerful geniuses, in the world of Beast Masters, there is no such thing as absolute fairness.
Fairness is relative to strength and value.
Not wanting to dwell further on it, Charles focused his attention on Zachary. In his eyes, both Zachary and Luma were decent competitors.
Both in terms of personality and combat ability, they were quite capable.
"I have a good impression of Luma. His knife skills could use so improvent, but unfortunately, there are only five slots available." Charles sighed, a look of regret crossing his face.
Unbeknownst to him, Miles, who had been observing him, along with Nathaniel, keenly noticed the expression on Charles's face.
"Your Majesty, Charles seems a bit regretful. He glanced at Luma a few tis, could it be that he feels sorry for Luma?" Nathaniel speculated.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Miles instinctively shifted his gaze to Luma and then asked Nathaniel:
"This Luma has decent strength. Tell more about his background."
Nathaniel imdiately nodded and brought over Luma's profile. He glanced at it briefly and then gave Miles a simple introduction.
"Luma, nineteen years old, a level four Beast Master. He was born in a border city of Genosha. His father was a soldier who sacrificed his life during a conflict with Kingston nineteen years ago. His mother, grief-stricken, passed away shortly after giving birth to him..."
Nathaniel's voice was sowhat somber. His focus had primarily been on Charles, Finn, and his own daughter Luna, so he hadn't paid much attention to the relatively unnoticed genius, Luma.
"Sacrificed... for Genosha." Miles said softly.
He pondered for a mont and then remarked to Nathaniel:
"Charles must have high hopes for Luma. He probably thinks Luma will lose to Zachary, which is a sha."
"In that case, if Luma can achieve sixth place, let him be an alternate mber to participate in the battle against Kingston."
"Father killed in action, mother passed away... sigh..." Miles sighed, his mood sowhat downcast.
He felt a twinge of discomfort, nineteen years ago, he had just beco the Emperor of Genosha.
Kingston had taken advantage of his recent takeover, escalating tensions between the two nations to gain benefits.
And the soldiers along the border fought valiantly, causing Kingston to suffer significant losses.
To be honest, Luma's father's sacrifice was, in a way, because of him.
"Your Majesty, if we add another alternate, will we still enter the royal secret realm? Each ti the realm opens, there is a limit to the number of participants. Adding one more person might consu more resources." soone cautiously spoke up.
Miles furrowed his brow, thought for a mont, and replied:
"That's fine. Any additional resources consud will be deducted from my personal reserves. I trust Charles, whoever he sees potential in won't be lacking."
Nathaniel lifted his gaze slightly and glanced at Miles, he could vaguely guess what the Emperor was thinking.
"Luma's misfortunes from the past nineteen years will change after eting Charles. A person's fate can be drastically altered just because Charles took a few extra glances. Only Charles has the ability to make such a difference." Nathaniel silently pondered.
After a brief discussion, everyone turned their attention back to the competition.
Although Luma and Zachary had so differences in strength, Zachary was currently able to showcase his abilities perfectly. With the thought of wanting to follow Charles in his mind, each of Zachary's attacks was particularly powerful.
The supre spear in his hand moved like a venomous snake, agile and deadly, and could inflict harm if one wasn't careful.
Luma swung his long knife repeatedly, blocking Zachary's attack ti and again.
The two mystical beasts were also engaged in intense combat.

Luma's mystical beast was of a lower quality than Zachary's, but their level of synergy was very high. The cooperation between the mystical beasts was enough to make up for the difference in quality.
The battle montarily fell into a stalemate, turning into a war of attrition.
Luma tightly gripped the long knife in his hand. He had never seen his father since the day he was born, only a grayish-white photograph left behind for him.
Others pointed to that photo and told him, "This is your father, a brave warrior!"
Luma didn't want his father to be a brave warrior, he just wanted a ho and wished for his father to simply be a father.
"If it weren't for Kingston, my father wouldn't have sacrificed himself, and my mother wouldn't have been so grief-stricken over his loss that she eventually fell ill and died."
"I cannot give up in this battle!"
"With national grievances and personal hatred, I must seize this opportunity to strengthen myself and show those Kingston people what I'm capable of!" Luma gritted his teeth, defending against Zachary's onslaught while searching for a chance to counterattack.
Both had reasons for not wanting to fail, but there could only be one victor in the competition.
As ti passed, Luma's mystical beast ultimately couldn't withstand Zachary's.
It was surrounded and overwheld by Zachary's mystical beast.
"The match is over. The winner of this round is Zachary!" the referee announced loudly, his gaze toward Luma tinged with a hint of pity and regret.
Zachary's mystical beast was of significantly higher quality than Luma's.
One could tell from Luma's mystical beast that he likely wasn't of noble birth, the contracted mystical beast was very common, a primary choice for ordinary civilian Beast Masters.
Despite this, the young man had still nearly defeated Zachary, the son of a general.
"What a pity, young man. Go down and rest well, there may still be opportunities." the referee couldn't help but comfort him.
Luma numbly held the long knife in his hands. He chanically nodded, struggling to stand up and walk towards the area beneath the competition stage.
At that mont, a sowhat familiar voice rang out, "What's wrong? Are you thinking of giving up?"
Luma recognized this voice, it belonged to Charles!
He stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Charles, who was standing a short distance away with a calm expression. He slowly replied:
"There's no hope left. Only the five strongest can qualify to represent Genosha in battle. My strength is too weak."
Charles shook his head and said slowly:
"The competition isn't over yet. Let's set the issue of slots aside for now. Don't you want to beco stronger?"
Luma paused for a mont. Of course, he wanted to beco stronger!
But getting stronger was too difficult. Whether it was acquiring [combat techniques] or receiving guidance from strong individuals, he had no opportunities.
Just like this ti, in the past nineteen years, he had faced too many situations like this.
Each ti, he could only watch the opportunities slip away right before his eyes while feeling utterly helpless.
He knew his swordsmanship had flaws and wanted to improve, but in the world of Beast Masters, everything required money and connections.
He had none of those.
"Keep fighting. If you have ti, co find . We can exchange and learn from one another." Charles said slowly.
Luma suddenly looked up. He had thought Charles was just being polite or joking when he said such things before.
He didn't expect Charles to say it again today!
"Is it true? Are you willing to teach ?" Luma felt an overwhelming excitent, causing his voice to tremble as he spoke.
Who is Charles?
The strongest genius Beast Master of Genosha, who has comprehended his own [combat techniques], is capable of instantly defeating a level five Beast Master with a long knife in the Flower Falls Gorge!
If Charles is truly willing to teach him, Luma would absolutely not refuse!
In response to Luma's question, Charles shook his head.
The light in Luma's eyes dimd instantly, indeed, it was all just his fantasy.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I..." Luma was about to apologize when Charles's voice interrupted him.
"It's not about teaching you, it's about exchanging ideas together. I'm just a level four Beast Master myself, and I have no qualifications to teach anyone. If you want, we can share and learn from each other." Charles said slowly.
After seeing Finn's understanding of [The Affliction of Mutated Beast Mastery] today, Charles had an idea in his mind.
He had to admit one thing: he had interacted too little with other geniuses in the past.
Everyone's growth environnt is different, their experiences vary, and their perspectives on problems are distinct.
This ans that when facing the sa situation, there will be different interpretations and insights.
If one wants to beco stronger quickly and break free from fixed ways of thinking, communicating more with other geniuses is the best choice.
Moreover, a person's power is ultimately limited, as is their energy.
Charles wanted to organize a genius club, where all mbers are true geniuses or those with potential. Once they grow stronger in the future, they will beco a trendous force.
"If one wants to change the world, a single person's strength is not enough." Charles thought to himself.
He wanted to possess his own strength!
Whether it's the power of a Beast Master or establishing his own influence, it is all to protect the people he cares about or to do the things he desires.
