Sam finished his meal and left the cafeteria.

"What are your thoughts about him? I do not think you will speak to him like this. It appears that our young master has begun to change."

Lily starts to tease James. James became angry but did not say anything. Instead, Lisa stated,

"I understand why you are interested in him. To tell you the truth, I am also very interested. Even my father advised me to invite them.

It would be wonderful if they could join our family. I am already planning on approaching both of them.

We do not know what his blessing is. The same thing can be said for David. Both of them are mysterious, and it appears that they were taught those techniques by mysterious teachers."

"I have already tried to learn about their backgrounds, and I have discovered that they both have nearly identical backgrounds. Despite being from a warrior family, David's parents have both disappeared.

Following that, he lost contact with his relatives. He only has a little sister, and we know nothing else about him.

Sigh, it would be great to have an idea of their power level. Do not forget that David achieved Peak Mortal Grade before any of us. He also has superior potential.

This will undoubtedly attract many warriors, and I doubt you will be able to invite him into your family. You can try to approach him differently."

James said the final word teasingly. Lily and Lisa immediately understood what he meant. Lisa can approach David and invite him to join her family in another way, which is through marriage.

"Another word, and I will kill you."

Lisa gets angry when she hears about marriage. It is not uncommon for Warriors families to use their daughters as pawns to keep powerful Warriors loyal to their families.

************

Sam has no idea what is happening in the cafeteria. He had already returned to his room and decided to focus on his training.

The status screen shows Sam that he is almost done leveling up his illusion sword technique. He also made significant improvements to his sword technique.

Sword skills such as the thunder slash and shadow slash are powerful, but they cannot be used properly unless you have proper sword technique. This is why a sword technique is also required for a swordsman.

'If I am not mistaken, I should be able to level up before the quarterfinal. I hope that is enough to defeat Max.'

************

For six days, Sam concentrated solely on his training. He only left his room when he was hungry. Unfortunately, there is no room service, so he must eat at the cafeteria.

As expected, he improved significantly over the course of six days. He improved both his illusion and thunder sword techniques. His mental defence technique has already reached level 5.

Today is the quarterfinals, and Venus is full of people. It is as if a festival is taking place within the city, with people from all over the world in attendance.

Compared to the previous matches, the quarterfinals will be much more exciting and intense. People are definitely more excited about the quarterfinals than the previous matches.

People from Milton Warrior High School, Base City School, and other high schools have gathered inside the stadium to support their students. Milton Warrior High School, like Base City School, has a banner featuring David's photo.

As expected, they supported him and wanted everyone to know that David attended Milton Warrior High School.

Because today's match is so important, many elders, including elder Kelvin, are present inside the stadium. Several Principals of Warrior Academies are also present in the battle stadium.

Everyone is there to witness the fight between all of the participants.

Finally, Saint Markus, the president of the examination committee, entered the battle ring. Following his speech, they will begin the quarterfinals.

Inside the waiting room, David and the other participants are waiting. The waiting room exudes a serious atmosphere.

Both girls and boys are present in the same waiting room, which gives them the opportunity to observe one another. Today, they were all so serious that they did not even talk to one another.

Saint Markus finally appears inside the battle ring, and everyone in the stadium begins to applaud him. They all get up from their seats to pay their respects to Saint Markus.

"Good morning, all of my people. As expected, you are all very excited about the quarterfinals. I am also looking forward to the quarterly final.

I hope you all show support for our participants. Sometimes your support gives our participants the willpower they need to win a match.

So do not be shy about expressing your support. If possible, try to cheer for them loudly.

As you can see today, we set up this battle ring so that each of our students has an advantage. We did not want to put them in a bad situation where things would get difficult quickly.

As you can see, we designed the battle ring based on a rocky environment. There are hills, caves, and large rocks everywhere.

Our students will have to fight in this environment. It is possible that some of our students will have difficulty, but we will not change the environment.

At the very least, all Warriors who excel at fighting from a distance would be at no disadvantage.

I wanted to emphasize to all of my students that they should always exercise caution. Do not be careless for even a second. Even if you are fighting a weak open, do not relax your guard.

Other than that, I hope everyone follows the rules. If you break the rules, you will be immediately expelled from the entrance examination.

If you use illegal substances, techniques, or artifacts, you will be immediately apprehended by the Warriors Association. It will also have an impact on your future, so think carefully before acting.

As I stated before the quarterfinals, all of you will be checked by our staff to ensure that you are not using any illegal substances. I hope all of the students are prepared for that.

With this, I would not waste any more time and wished the best of luck to all of my students."

Saint Markus finishes his speech, and the entire stadium erupts in applause.
