"ARGH!" Cale's eyes trembled. What, he got hit...? No, that man didn't even make it through his shield. Cale slowly turned his gaze backwards, the woman from before—she attacked him from behind his guard.

Earthquake grinned. While Cale's stance faltered, he pounced onto Cale. "HAHA! You thought you could hold up against us!?" Earthquake punched Cale across the face, over and over again.

"..." Choi Han clenched his fists, unable to hold his anger.

The kids were no exception.

Eruhaben glanced at them, sighing. "This time, I'll allow you guys to act by yourself."

With permission, they instantly took off into action. They transformed back into their human forms and launched towards the one on top of Cale.

BANG!

Earthquake was thrown against the columns of the colosseum by Choi Han's fist. "ARGH!" His collision caused the pillars to crumble, falling on top of his already injured body.

The woman watched in horror, unable to comprehend the sight of the top 50 ranker being thrown around like a cat toy. "Earthquake!" She shouted.

Then she was next, for she also injured the young master Cale. She was suffocated to death by the cat tribe's abilities.

"That's insane..." Jisuk couldn't believe the sight in front of him. "Those kids (and an adult) are super strong..." His voice trembled.

"Who even is that guy..." Subin thought out loud.

"Mr. Cale! Are you alright?!" Jiwoo rushed towards Cale, coming along with the children.

"I'm fine.." Cale spoke with his nose broken and cheeks swollen. I'm not fine, you clueless idiot.

The barriers started to disappear one by one, and soon enough the teachers were able to be freed. However, it was already too late. The damage had already been dealt.

"Get the injured kids to the infirmary!"

But before anyone could move, someone appeared in the scene.

"What an interesting situation."

"Andrei..." Schoolmaster Garrith gritted his teeth.

"Andrei?!" The other followed along, shouting out in shock.

Top 10 world ranker Andrei, head of one of the three lead fractions in Frame.

"The world's top 10 ranker Andrei?!" The students panicked, their gazes too scared to escape the presence of a higher being.

"Who did this." Andrei looked around, at his fallen pawns. Earthquake, where is his disciple at? He frowned.

No one answered him.

"Should I just take out everyone here then?" Andrei glared at Garrith. "Answer me." He threatened the principal.

Garrith shut his mouth, he was hesitating. Should he root out the saviors who tried to save his kids, or should he give up those very kids he wanted to protect and raise?

"It was us." Jiwoo bravely spoke up.

Hey! Are you stupid or what?! Cale glared at Jiwoo's back, he was finding this situation very dumbfounding. Why would you rat us out to him?! Can't you clearly tell he's stronger than all of us combined (except for Choi Han and Eruhaben)?! "Ugh..." Cale clenched onto his stomach.

"..." Choi Han helped support Cale. "Here, Cale-nim." He handed him a healing potion.

"Thanks.." Cale gulped it down instantly.

"How dare you, insolent thing." Andrei insulted them right in front of their faces.

Jiwoo and the others flinched.

Cale sharpened his gaze, frowning at those words supposedly directed towards a growing kid. "Do you think you can defeat him?" Cale leaned onto Choi Han's shoulder.

Choi Han's eyes sparkled. "For you, of course I can, Cale-nim!" He reassured his liege.

"Realistically." Cale changed his wording.

Choi Han shook his head. "He's manageable. I don't know what type of power he has, but his strength is something I can handle for now."

Cale nodded. "If he tries to attack anyone, take him down."

"Yes, Cale-nim." Choi Han soaked in the commands of his savior.

Cale stood up straight. "Why are you asking us when you're the one who planned this to happen?" He countered, making his stance.

"Hmph. I suppose that's true." Andrei frowned. "But who do you think gives the orders right now? The stronger one does." He flicked his hand.

With that, the place became a test zone for a nuclear bomb.

Thankfully, the dean's spatial isolation was still up but now it's down. That's a problem, for the academy. The professors and headmaster went to protect the students nearby, barely managing on their own.

"Are you alright, Cale-nim?!" Choi Han and the kids rushed to protect Cale.

"I'm fine..." Cale was amazed by the force of a top 10 ranker of this world. It was stronger than he expected especially since he came to this world, all he saw was the power of a few kids. "Choi Han."

He immediately went to fight Andrei, just as Cale-nim had told Choi Han.

Garrith clenched his teeth, he quickly set up his spatial isolation just in time. "Are you guys crazy?! The students will get swept up in this fight!"

"I'll protect them with my shield." Cale said reassuringly.

"Don't be stupid. I'll do it." Eruhaben, in his human form, stepped up. He surrounded all the students in his power.

"T-this—" before Garrith could utter another word, they were distracted by the situation at hand.

BANG!

"You're strong, but I haven't heard of you before." Andrei blocked Choi Han's fist with a shield made from a fiery red-black power. "Who are you? I'll forgive you if you join Frame."

Andrei was scouting someone personally?!

"Shut up. You hurt Cale-nim!" Choi Han broke through the shield with brute strength.

He rejected Andrei's offer, but more surprisingly, he penetrated through a top 10's defense!?

"You." Andrei furrowed his brows, frowning. He took a hit, but thanks to the power he wrapped around his body, it didn't do much. Despite that, he could tell the person in front of him was a big deal. "Let's end this here."

The top ten ranker Andrei was stepping down voluntarily?!

"...Let it go." Cale declared, knowing Choi Han.

"But!" He wanted to refute.

Cale shook his head. "Think about what'll happen afterwards. There's no point in fighting except for a bit of pride."

"Yes Cale-nim..."

"Hmph." Andrei left the arena.

"You're amazing, Cale!" The four troublemakers looked up at him in astonishment.

"..." Cale turned pale. Please leave me alone, he cried.
