=== Jaxson's Point of View ===

"Euclio..." I called his name as he suddenly appears in front of me...

He come closer, and approach me... it is a cold night, and we are above Dwarven Kingdom.

When he is right in front of me, he stopped. I can feel the cold wind hit my face...

And now, I think Euclio will hate me more...

First, he throw me away... he don't want to be my teacher anymore... I think he hate me.

Second... I can't prove him that I am stronger than Nicolas...

Third... Euclio think that I never listen to his words... that Nicolas is very strong...

Nicolas... he is too strong! I can't even picture me stronger than him

— When the battle about to start —

"Begin!" Tousan shouted...

I activated my Bios Eyes... and see 3 seconds ahead...

I will lose?!

His reflex will be fast, and he will activate and cast magic in less than a second?! That is impossible! Even Tousan couldn't do that! Tousan need at least 5 seconds...

I decided to increase my speed...

But...

The future remain unchange...

Again, I use my maximum speed... but again, the future remain the same...

I will be pushed away... and held by gravity magic... then trapped with wood magic...

— Back to Present —

"He is strong isn't he?" Euclio asked me...

I was facing downward, expecting him will be mad at me... instead a question...

I face him and...

I can see his smile...

"Now, you understand how strong he is..." Euclio said...

Somehow, I can feel tears flow through my cheek...

"I-I can't defeat him!" I told Euclio...

Why I can't defeat him?!

I won't be able to get acknowledged by Tousan, Kasan, even Euclio...

How can a man that strong live?!

I realize how weak am I... just how long do I need to get stronger...

"There are roles... for each of us..." Euclio said...

Hearing that, I wiped my tears...

I then listen to his words... "I am a good planner..." Euclio said, "Ed has a nice observation in a fight..." Euclio said...

And he start telling everyone's role...

"Ed has the highest bloodlust detection, he can detect it from far away..."
"Eria is a strong fighter... stronger than me..."
"Nate is a good attacker, and also a hard worker, he work the hardest among all of us..."

Nate? The one that always protects Nicolas?

"Nathalia is a smart girl... I can count on her, and I trust her the most, after Nicolas..."

Nathalia? The Nate's sister?

"Rin has been our morale support... he always cheer us up when we were sad, and lighten the mood when it was too intense..."
"Erin is the one with scariest skill... she can banish everything into the otherworld..."
