Wizard: The exploration panel keeps me pure.

Upon hearing this voice, alarm bells immediately went off in everyone's minds.

The words, though sacred and majestic, sounded eerie and terrifying coming from the young man's mouth. Everyone looked warily at Philomi, who stood alone in the Church of Holy Light.

He couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Another lunatic."

Ryan, or rather the Moon Goddess, who stood atop the ruins observing the battlefield from afar, narrowed her eyes slightly, a question arising in her mind:

"Erosdna? What kind of trouble is this guy up to now?"

Elosdna, or the Suffering Ones, were two other churches besides their Church of the Six Gods. However, in the eyes of the people of the Three Kingdoms, these two churches were purely heretics and cults.

After all, no true church spends its days figuring out how to cause destruction or how to perform blood sacrifices.

Only these two churches, like madmen, have left their mark all over the Eastern Continent, and the heinous crimes they have committed are too numerous to recount even in three days and three nights.

So when the Moon Goddess saw the changes in Philomene on the battlefield, she immediately thought of her old friend.

Ron, high in the sky, surveyed the crowd below with disdain.

He had naturally seen what was happening at the Church of Holy Light, and he knew that Philomi, who ranked first in the freshman assessment, was definitely brewing some big move.

But so what?

He doesn't care.

Ron felt a strange sense of confidence. He was invincible today, and he would still dare to say that even if the Six Gods came.

Although he didn't know why, he felt a mix of fear and excitement, but his behavior was no longer under his control.

"I saw it."

Just as everyone was wondering what Philomi was doing, the young man's voice came again. However, unlike the previous sacred words, the tone of this person had become sinister and eerie.

Add to that the guy's wide grin that stretched all the way to his ears, and you'd feel a chill run down your spine just looking at him.

"God will punish you, sinner!"

Philomi raised his head, his gaze indifferent as he stared at the figure in the sky who was looking back at him. His tone was calm, yet it was filled with an undeniable air of authority.

"Heh, you can try, you piece of trash."

……

Everyone was stunned by their conversation, holding their breath and silently watching their every move.

Even the Moon Goddess, who was watching from afar, raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing Ron's words, wondering why the previously timid fellow seemed to have become a completely different person.

That's utterly arrogant and unreasonable!

That inexplicable confidence made him feel uneasy.

The initial idea of ​​sitting back and taking things easy is now starting to waver:

"Could there be someone else causing trouble behind the scenes?"

That's what she thought, but when she thought about her previous plans and the two things she had given to Ron, she immediately calmed down: "Impossible, absolutely possible."

"If anyone had really done anything to this little guy, they wouldn't have been able to hide it from me. The way he is now, he was probably a madman to begin with."

With this thought in mind, she once again suppressed her restless heart.

At a time like this, I absolutely cannot afford to make the slightest mistake. Otherwise, everything will be in vain.

"Boom!"

The loud noise drew the goddess's attention once again.

Ron and Philomi, who had been facing off against each other, had now begun to fight.

Firelight, shadows, flesh and blood...

All sorts of methods that had been seen before or used by others began to appear on the battlefield, and the huge explosions attracted everyone's attention.

Ron's fiery wings on his back gradually grew larger, and the fiery feathers on them began to spread outwards around him, eventually enveloping his entire body.

A giant bird made entirely of flames appeared before everyone's eyes.

"What is that?"

"Is this still an apprentice-level battle?"

"Is this guy really in the same year as us? Is he really a freshman?"

Everyone who saw Ron's transformation couldn't help but wonder if they were truly comparable to him. Some even began to suspect that the academy might have let in spies from other factions.

Otherwise, how could there be such a big difference between us when we've only studied at the academy for a year?

As Philomi looked at the giant firebird opposite him, whose wingspan was about ten meters and which was still growing larger, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This is not fear.

Instead, I was excited!

"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting. I thought only Elend could give me some enjoyment in this assessment, but I didn't expect there to be someone like you in the academy."

"I never expected this, I really never expected it. But now, you'd better get ready."

After he finished speaking, his body trembled even more violently.

This time it wasn't because of emotional fluctuations, but because he was starting to get serious.

Witchcraft, [Dark Energy Particle Element Mimicry - Night Demon].

A figure that blotted out the sky appeared at the other end of the battlefield, its black armor encasing an internal structure resembling an undead life form composed of dark energy particles.

Ribs were visible through the gaps in the armor.

Make it unforgettable.

"Fermi's getting serious now. I wonder if that madman on the other side can hold out?"

"Heh, you're joking, aren't you? This is the Dismay family's inherited witchcraft, said to be able to reach the second ring level at its highest. How could that madman possibly withstand it?"

"That's true, but who exactly is that guy? How come someone so strong isn't on the freshman rankings?"

"Who knows? When I get back, I'll settle accounts with those damned guys who sold information. They had such a huge oversight, and they still had the nerve to tell me it was the most complete and up-to-date information. What a bunch of swindlers."

"That's right, that's right. We'll settle accounts with that kid from the Orr family when we get back."

Just as the conversation was drifting away, two enormous figures, one black and one red, began to clash in the sky.

Various fire elements, dark elements, and witchcraft are endless.

The two drew closer and closer, and when they reached a certain distance, they abandoned their ranged magical attacks and switched to melee combat.

The large red bird scratched and thrashed with its claws and wings. The black armored giant, in turn, pounded its fists into the bird's head and body.

The scene resembled a street brawl.

It's astonishing.

When both sides are evenly matched, the battle reverts to its most primal form: physical clashes.

Loud noises echoed across the sky. Each collision between the red bird and the black giant unleashed tremendous energy, producing sounds like explosions that reverberated above the battlefield.

Everyone stared intently at the two figures in the air, their eyes wide open, seemingly curious about which side would win.

Time passed second by second, and gradually a ray of dawn appeared in the sky.

The battle, however, continues.

Everyone was captivated by the visceral, brutal fight scene, until...

"What are they trying to do?"
