123 Golden Canistel

As soon as Janrose’s aura was revealed to them, everyone was dumbfounded. She was only a mid stage Level 1 Esper two days ago so how did she suddenly level up twice in just one day? It was inconceivable!

A normal Esper would have to spend years of excruciating training to increase their strength by one minor level and even those supported by rich families would still need several months or even a few years!

Meanwhile, in the VIP section of the spectator’s seat, Julius’ eyes widened. ‘Did Sir Aethelwolf also give her an Energy Augmentation Pellet? And that sword... I think I remember Sir Aethelwolf bringing the same thing when he first visited our mansion...’

“Oh? How did she increase her strength in just one day?” Emperor Ragnar was also surprised.

Duke Baron didn’t say anything, but he was shocked as well.

On the stage, Drake furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the smiling Janrose. “I have underestimated you...” He muttered as he raised his shield and lifted his sword. He couldn’t be careless now that his opponent has revealed her true power. She was one minor stage stronger than him, but he was confident that he can fight someone at that level because of his experience.

The Hullman Household is a military family that has produced many great warriors and even generals. Their family head is also a general protecting the borders of the empire. With the bloodline of fierce warriors, Drake was so much stronger than people his age!

Janrose grinned as she executed a series of swift movements. She looked like a nimble who was toying with her enemy.

Clang!

.....



Clang!

Drake managed to block her slashes with his shield, but he noticed that her strikes were getting faster and faster!



Best

Clang!

Clang!

The normal people could barely see Janrose’s movements since she was moving so fast! Only the Espers inside the arena were able to accurately discern what was happening. They found out to their amazement that this young lady also seemed to be experienced in fighting!

Janrose felt that the sword in her hands was perfect. It was light and easy to wield, making it easier for her to do complicated maneuvers. The increase in her strength also made her feel at ease and confident.

“I’ll be more serious now, big guy! Be careful!” Janrose laughed gently as she spun in midair before delivering a slash that aimed for Drake’s right leg.

Puchi!

The tearing sound of flesh echoed in the arena and everyone saw the young warrior of the Hullman Household suddenly losing his footing.

Drake wobbled under the intense pain, but he gritted his teeth as he used his shield to stand firmly. ‘She’s too fast! She is even faster than the little girl from the Urgel Household!’

“Shall we continue?” Janrose smiled at Drake when she saw his pale face. This was only a competition so she didn’t attack his vital spot, but if this was on a battlefield, Drake’s condition would have been worse!

The referee hesitated to stop the contest, but when he saw Drake’s unwavering will, he decided to give the young man a chance. ‘What a tough lad! Alright. I’ll only interfere when he receives another serious wound...’

“Don’t underestimate a warrior of the Hullman Household!” Drake roared as he slammed his shield, making the stage tremble! He then pounced at Janrose while completely ignoring the wound on his leg. When he neared her, he raised his sword and delivered a fierce chop.

Swoosh!

Janrose evaded the strike and counterattacked, but before her sword can reach her opponent, the referee intercepted her sword.

Clang!

Janrose smiled at the referee and sheathed her sword.

The referee took back his dagger and announced. “Janrose, victory!” He then supported the injured Drake, but the man waved him off and walked down the stage all by himself. He even refused the medical team who wanted to help him cure his wound. ‘What a stubborn young man...’ The referee muttered as he shook his head.

When the referee announced Janrose’s victory, the crowd erupted into loud cheering. Most of them were from commoner backgrounds so they were hoping that someone with a normal status would reach the top positions. The commoners started treating her as their representative.

The remaining participants stared at Janrose’s victorious figure with fierce glints. The strength she revealed was beyond their imagination and the only one who can suppress her was Alec Ward. They didn’t want to admit it, but she had already proven herself to them with her power!

“Sister, how did that girl suddenly become so strong?” Grace pouted as she stared at Janrose with an envious look.

Julie was still wearing a veil to cover her face. She shook her head at her sister’s words and replied. “I don’t know. The last time I observed her, she is only a mid stage Level 1 Esper. No one can hide their power-” She coughed in embarrassment when she recalled a certain black-haired person. “Only one person managed to hide his power from me and I don’t believe this girl is as special as him. Something must have happened yesterday for her to level up twice in a row.” She was silent for a moment before she added in a serious tone. “I heard about a rare fruit, but no one has proven its existence yet. This fruit can increase one’s power upon consumption!”

It was something she discovered in an ancient Alchemist’s diary, but the Alchemist didn’t note down detailed information about the fruit. Only its name was written clearly.

“A rare fruit? What fruit are you talking about?” Grace stared at her sister in shock. Was there really such a magical fruit in the world?

“Golden Canistel...” Julie answered vaguely and didn’t offer an explanation. It was the only thing she knew about the fruit and she has yet to prove if it truly exists in Regalis Continent.

‘What kind of magical treasure did that girl encounter? Could it be the Golden Canistel written in that old diary?’ She thought to herself.
