Soon, many nobles took a bunch of small skewers.

Although such common people's food was a bit indecent for the nobles, many nobles did not say anything for Ryan's sake.

Everyone took a quick bite and was immediately attracted by the charcoal-grilled flavor of the small skewers in their hands.

I didn't expect that this common food...has a unique flavor.

Ryan looked at the many nobles out of the corner of his eye and smiled slightly.

If the owner of that small barbecue restaurant knew about this, he would probably faint from joy.

After all, 60% of the nobles in the empire have eaten the grilled skewers he made. What a great honor it is.

Ryan asked Art while holding a small kebab.

"Your Majesty Art, where is Otto? He sent a message for me to come this morning, but he hasn't shown up yet."

Eyat, who was also eating a small skewer, laughed and said, "Don't worry, you'll know soon."

Time passed slowly, and the seats in the duel arena were soon filled.

In the stands, Dean Cliff, who was sitting in his seat, looked at the sky, slowly stood up and went to the front of the stands.

Cliff gathered his magic power in his throat and coughed twice.

"Ahem."

The huge noise immediately made the discussion in the duel arena become quiet.

Seeing this, Cliff began his opening speech for the 'College Mist Selection Competition'.

"Dear guests, instructors, and dear students, today we gather at the duel arena to witness the opening of the 'College Mist Trials'."

"This selection is not only a competition to select elite talents, but also a great opportunity to challenge yourself. It also concerns the Empire's future plans for the Land of Mist."

"Only the truly powerful can represent the empire in the battle for the Mist Card."

“…”

"Here, on behalf of the academy, I hereby declare that this competition is completely fair and impartial. No one is allowed to cheat. Violators... will be expelled from Brisley Royal Academy and will never be recruited again."

"Now I declare---the Academy Mist Trials officially begin!"

As Cliff finished speaking, plumes of smoke shot out from all around the duel arena, drawing arcs in the blue sky before finally exploding above the duel arena.

Grand fireworks exploded continuously, celebrating the start of the competition.

At this moment, in the empty duel arena.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and with a bang, a huge pit was dug out in the ground of the duel arena.

Then Otto emerged from the ground riding his earth dragon.

The moment Otto appeared, everyone in the duel arena who was still confused burst into cheers.

"Otto!"

"Otto!"

"Your Highness Otto! (Crackling voice)"

The cheers from the people were enough to show how great Otto's reputation was in the royal city.

Facing the cheers of the crowd, Otto smiled like the big brother next door and nodded to everyone.

The girls who were looked at by Otto seemed to be numbed by electricity and fainted one after another.

After interacting with everyone for a while, Otto rode the earth dragon and slowly turned around. The earth dragon's four legs moved and raised thick dust.

The earth dragon was extremely large, and even when Otto stood on its back, he was only as big as the dragon's horns.

At this time, Otto was wearing a silver knight's full armor and holding a blue spear in his hand.

He looked at the stands with fiery eyes, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Then Otto suddenly raised his spear and swung it swiftly, making whistling sounds. He pointed the spear at the stands, a bright smile on his face.

"Ryan... come and fight!"

Sensing Otto's fighting spirit, the earth dragon Balder under Otto's feet roared to the sky.

"roar!"
