'Plot has again shifted eh…. '
Looking at the person assigned as my sparring partner there was only this conclusion I could land upon.
Well, fortunately, I wasn't facing the protagonist which could have potentially raised so death flags, but the boy in front was no good news either.
Tanned skin, almost 7 feet in height, lean stature yet muscles packed beneath that martial art uniform. Yes, he is the brother-in-arms who would beco the sidekick of the protagonist.
Kevin Lewinhart. Son of General Saebes and the person who has mastered the skill of [Berserk] only after training for five years after his awakening.
Well, there are so certain benefits of living with a battle-maniac father, after all.
In the novel, Arata and Kevin despite being mismatched in social standings beco friends after the protagonist defeats this battle frenzy, brutally. That day Kevin realized that there was always soone stronger than him.
But there is so ti for that event to unfold, so right now, the Kevin standing so feet away from is still the hot-blooded arrogant child who thinks of himself as an Honorary Knight or sort.
"Now, there would be a security check of both candidates to ensure that none of the sides carrying any illegal artifact or object. I hope the President doesn't mind."
I nodded for the referee to do his job as my gaze wandered to the sidelines where stood the other candidates from both the third year and the first year.
There were quite a few characters I ca to know after rebirth and so characters whom I have only read about in previous life.
The one who caught my attention primarily was the one girl standing with a group at the center and smiling rrily.
Her midnight hair was tied in a ponytail with her blue eyes fluttered every ti she shifted her focus.
"!!"
Maybe she felt my gaze or sothing, which made the girl turn her glance in my direction before our eyes t just for re two seconds.
I turned my head back toward the front hurriedly.
I an I wouldn't mind being caught staring at soone. But that soone was none other than the main heroine, Annabelle.
'Well, I better avoid that walking landmine…'

[anwhile in the audience]
There were quite a number of students standing near the first dojo where students would be performing their spars. There were twelve other rings as well, but since it was the first match, students were asked to observe the brawl between the top best of both the first and third year.
Kevin undoubtedly was a prodigy and if talking about the senior batch, then there was no idol student to match Kevin, other than the renowned President himself.
As the match preparations were undergoing, a group of five girls belonging to either year were circling at the center of the audience as they chatted about school and stuff.
The males present around were peeking at this specific group often because each one of them was a high-class beauty with their unique charm.
"I just hope I get to pair with soone like you, Laila-senpai. Then I can gracefully lose without any kind of regret."
The one who spoke with an exasperated sigh was the blond beauty, Serena who did not have much knowledge of martial arts and only knew so basic self-defense movents.
"I am not very strong either, Serena-chan. If not for the inspirational agenda, I might have already forfeited."
Laila also sighed in resignation since she also had a weak build despite having a decent amount of physical prowess. She just doesn't like to cling to anyone other than her pet and family mbers.
The other girls also shared their thoughts and the gossip continued.
On the other side stood a raven-haired lean youth. His facial features were above average but the smile he currently had was peculiarly charming.
His eyes were fixed on the group of girls ntioned above as he thought about the future where he would be in a relationship with three of them along with two others who aren't present here.
Arata already fell for Serena a while ago. He has co to like the bubbly Laila as well after he saw how generous and adorable her genuine personality is.
The person who fascinated him the most was the raven-haired girl, whose na he rembered to Anabelle as per what he heard from Serena so days ago.
Apart from overwhelming Soul Energy which she masterfully suppresses, her beauty was no less than Serena or Laila. If not, Arata knew he would fall deeper for Annabelle even more than his childhood friend.
Serena was indeed his sweetheart but because of their different social status, there always remained so distance between them.
But Annabelle cos from a commoner family as well, and coupled with such a lady-like appearance and that srizing smile, Arata knew he would be chard by her in no ti.
'I am sure Kaa-san would love to et such an elegant girl… '
He was daydreaming while standing alone whereas back in the group, Annabelle spoke sothing completely out of the blue, making Laila startled.
"There's sothing I have heard quite a lot recently, Laila-san about you."
The other girls imdiately fell silent since when a generally quiet person talks, the other naturally gives them a priority.
Laila blinked in perplexion as she tilted her head to the side before asking in an uncertain tone.
"I don't understand, Anna-san. What exactly are we actually talking about?"
The attention of others were drawn to this group so naturally they all were hearing their gossip, given their heightened senses.
Anabelle also blinked in innocence like she never knew that this news was only known to her because of Ciel. And also, this information was kept hidden due to certain reasons.
She clearly just was quelling her curiosity nothing else~
"I heard that your engagent with President has been annulled. I wonder if senpai knows about this?"
